WinPE 2 - Can't map a share

[gingey]

Set up a WinPE 2 boot cd using nothing but the basic set up. It boots up fine, but when I try to map a drive using the net use command, I get:

System error 2457 has occurred.

This server's clock is not synchronized with the primary domain controllers clock.

I've tried to change it using the net time command, but no luck.

I am typing net use z: \\server\share. It then asks for a user name and password. After I enter the password, it errors, any ideas??

I am getting an IP and can ping out, so I know the networking is up.

Are you entering the domain name along with your user name? I've found that on my network I always have to enter the domain name with the username to connect (i.e. /USER:server\admin). I don't really see how that would have anything to do with the clock, but its a problem i've ran in to trying to map drives.

Yes, the domain is there, authentication is not an issue.

We've noticed that there seems to be an issue that could be related to DST, anyone know if WinPE is affected by the change?

Vista did not require the latest Microsoft patches for DST. I would hope WinPE v2 (which is based on Vista) would also not require the DST patch.

Have you tried manually setting the time on WinPE2, and retrying the map?

[gingey]

Yes. The time reports correctly as the local time. I ran net time /RTSDOMAIN:domain and got the time from the time server and set it to that as well, still no go.

I'm having a similiar problem, for different reasons:

Everytime I try to map a drive, it can't seem to get an IP address. Here is my header from my startnet.cmd

 @echo off
TITLE Boot CD v 2.0
regsvr32 /s netcfgx.dll
netcfg -v -winpe
net start dhcp
net start nla

Then, the command I use is:

net use S: \\%server%\currentimage\%model% * /USER:%domain%\%username%

The problem seems to be getting an IP address

Have you tried syncin the time with w32tm

Use in-line parameters

net use Z: \\YOURPC\YOURSHARE /user:YOUR_DOMAIN_OR_MACHINE_NAME\YOUR_USER_NAME YOUR_PLAINTEXT_PASSWORD
