ntfs Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Hi,Thanks for a great forum.I experience some difficulties when I try to mount a network drive. It seems to me that the networks isn't up and running when the commands are executed.. I use Windows PE, and here is my STARTNET.CMD:factory -winpecls@echo offnet use x: \\xxx\installx:cd I386format c: /ywinnt32 /unattend:unattend.txtexitSimple, but gets the job done.When running the script I get errormsg 1231: The network location cannot be reached. If I put a pause before the net use command it workes perfectly, but that misses the point of an unattended installation.Second, I want to use net use x: \\xxx\install /USER:user password which works like a charm when used after everything is loaded, but when I use in startnet.cmd it gives me a different errormsg, even with a pause.Ideas or solutions?- ntfs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ribond Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 1. The net could be failing for all sorts of reasons -- usually the retry will fix it though. Change your startnet to do something like:net use x: \\xxx\installif %errorlevel% NEQ 0 net use x: \\xxx\installIf you still experience failures you could make it loop until it succeedsfactory -winpecall NetConnect[rest of your script goes here]goto :EOF:NetConnectnet use x: \\xxx\installif %errorlevel% NEQ 0 goto NetConnectgoto :EOF2. WinPE runs in a weird user context -- make sure that when you net use to another system using local credentials that you tell it where to get 'em:Instead of this: net use x: \\xxx\install /USER:user password Do this: net use x: \\xxx\install /USER:XXX\user password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
