Using ADS 1.1 with winPE - how do i run commands?


Recommended Posts

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?

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:

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?

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.
