Hey all,
When performing a PXE boot using a newly-created WinPE 2.1 menu item, I receive "System error 53 The network path was not found" OR ""System error 1231 has occurred. The network location cannot be reached."
However, if I manually type NET USE Y: \\server\share with username/pw credentials, immediately afterwards, it maps fine....
The wpeinit.log says the following (this from a Lenovo T41):
- Installing device pci\ven8086&dev101e\... X:\Windows\INF\oem14.inf succeeded.
- Spent 5138ms installing network drivers
- QueryAdapterStatus: no adapters operational
- Spent 0ms confirming network initialization; status 0x003d0001
- STATUS: SUCCESS (0x003d0001)
It seems as though the NIC doesn't have enough time to initialize (shrug). Has anyone seen this before?
It doesn't seem to be hardware-specific as it's occurred on two different Lenovo model laptops (T41, T400), an HP desktop and a Virtual Machine configured to use an Intel e1000 NIC.
I recently upgraded from DS6.8 to DS 6.9 SP1 (w/ Hotfixes).
I have two PXE boot menu items -- one from Windows PE 1.6 and the other Windows PE 2.1.
The 1.6, which is what we've been using in the past, still works with no problem. I'd like to begin using 2.1 for better compatibility / ease of maintainence.
