WinPe boot CD authentication problem
Im trying to make a boot CD (WinPe 2.1) that our helpdesk can use to deploy images in different subnets with different DS.
I have edit mapdrv.bat and it basically checks the IP address that the client gets from DHCP.
- If the IP start with 192.168 then map eXpress on DS01.
- If the IP start with 172.168 then map eXpress on DS02.
DS01 and DS02 is member of the same domain and I use the same user to map the shares. If the client is on the 192-network it cant connect to DS02 and if its on the 172-network it cant connect to DS01.
My problem is that WinPe tries to authenticate to the DS before it run mapdrv.bat. This will work 50% of the times. The other 50% the client will timeout.
Does anyone know where or in which script the client authenticate to the DS?
Thanks.

I believe each DS creates a unique Boot CD specific to that DS. not just to point to that DS but some authentications to that DS as well.
I too have explored this back then and end up using 3 flavor of Boot CD image for the 3 DS we have "different domains".
and with some creative scripting I also have multiple shares throughout the country to pull the images and other files everything else comes back to the main DS.
Thanks for the feedback erigar.
I'll guess I need to dig a bit in the WinPe documentation.
