Unable to Map network drive and unable to start network properly
I'm trying to image a client. I was able to do this until yesterday morning. We were doing this for last 1.5 years.
From yesterday afternoon I'm getting following error
Unable to map network drive
Unable to start network properly.
Here are the steps that come to a failure :
1. start the altiris imaging job
2. machine reboots
3. PXE boots off of the network and starts pulling down the DOS bootdisk
4. Computername changes
5. Initializes TCP/IP via DHCP
6. Establishes network Connection
7. Authenticates Connection
8. The Command completed Successfully
9. Mapping Network Drive
10. The Command completed Successfully
11. Deployment Share mapped to F:
12. Unable to map Network Drive
13. Unable to Start Network Properly
14. Reboots in 5 Seconds
I restarted the server and checked the event viewer and no errors.
If any one have any idea why this is happening.
Thanks
