  • 1.  Drivers Script using LoginW - access denied at remote site

    Posted Oct 02, 2015 08:24 AM

    We recently started using Altiris 7.6 for imaging, software packaging/deployment, and patching for now (plans to expand later). We had a vendor come out and help us get setup and spent a couple of weeks getting all of the bugs worked out (or so we thought). at the time our sister site was not ready and we could not perform any testing with them. Of course now the vendor is gone and i am beating my head on the wall trying to get imaging to work in all of our locations.

    So here is the current issue... we are using a script to run as a task as part of the deployment Job to copy and install the drivers using dism. the access to map a drive is using LoginW and our admin account is encrypted as a PWL file.

    When our techs at the SS run the deployment job they are getting prompted for credentials and nothing seems to work; it works flawlessly here at HQ.

    This is the beginning of the script where it is having problems:

    @echo off
    x:\loginw.exe -f x:\ADMIN.pwl -c SiteServer1 -d DOMAIN -t 30
    if not exist Z:\ net use Z: \\SiteServer1\drivers

    i will go ahead and apologize, i am very new to the Altiris world, i come from SCCM and a lot of this is new to me

    Help! anyone!

    Thanks, DD

    The first thing I'd do is REM out the echo off line then put a pause after the other two lines and see which of the two commands fails and what the error message is. Edit: Here's a good guide on LoginW: http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/how-securely-map-drive-winpe-deployment-server-71

    Check if the ADMIN.pwl file exits under x:\. I have seen the same error when the file was not present in Win PE in the given path.
