Guest Matthew Millers Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Hi, I am using ADS 1.1 booting into Windows PE, everything works fine, ADS status shows that the node is currently running in the PE environment. My question is, how from the ADS can i map and drive and run a command from the mapped drive. I try this with the commands embedded in a batch file but it just errors out with unknown error. What exactly is the point of PE in ADS, is it actually usable? Matthew

Guest Mike Luo [MSFT] Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Re: Using ADS 1.1 with winPE - how do i run commands? Hello, In ADS case, a job represents a task that either is running or has completed on a device, multiple devices, or set. A job can perform any one of several types of tasks. A job can be a script, executable, internal command including Pre-Boot eXecution Environment (PXE) and imaging actions, or a task sequence. So you can place map drive instructioins into a job. For configuration of job, please refer to the following documents: Automated Deployment Services Technical Overview http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/ads.mspx Online Help for Windows Server 2003, Automated Deployment Services (ADS) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A4909B20-D753-412F- 9EB9-DF62E013429B&displaylang=en Fore assistance with WinPE issue, please post to the System Builder newsgroups here: <http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/newsgroups/topics/sysbuilder.msp x> Hope this helps.

Guest Matthew Millers Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Re: Using ADS 1.1 with winPE - how do i run commands? Hi Mike, Thanks for your patience. Just the same issue as before really. I can boot the into the PE image and the DA is running. How can I execute commands from this environment? Matthew
Guest Mike Luo [MSFT] Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: Using ADS 1.1 with winPE - how do i run commands? Hello, There are two ways of doing it: 1. two tasks a. 1st task run NET USE M: \\computer\share /U:domain\user pass /PERSISTENT:YES, w/ or w/o /U and pass depending on the share security properties. If share host is running IPSec and it is not a boundary machine it will not work, unless IPSec settings are changed to ask for authentication but not to require it. This is usually controlled by domain group policy so they might need a boundary machine. b. 2nd task run the utility 2. one task: use a script to run both. The IPSec stuff still applies. Notes about OS: 1. Both methods work if you run WinPE. 2. Only #2 works if you run full OS This has to do with the fact that in WinPE there is only one user - the system. In addition, you can map a drive with the net use command from the WinPE command prompt. Syntax for the same is as follows: - Net use [Drive letter or * ] \\computername\sharename /u:<domain name>\<user id> * When prompted enter password Note: Make sure that you have added appropriate NIC card driver to ensure proper network connectivity. Hope this help.
