RDP imaging problem

[Torrey_1]

I have a new RDP server set up, v 2.1. After creating a bootworks boot disk, I get the error shown in the attached file. We have no PXE server setup. Client is not in the same domain. I have talked with Compaq on the phone, and we pretty much just figured out, after 2 hours, that "we are using the correct driver." Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Torrey:

It looks like either a Name Resolution problem or a type in your boot image.

AT that point in the boot process, I believe the server is tryign to attach to the source server, ans as you can see.. it can not find the NETBIOS name on the network. Eoither the name has a typo in it (somehow), or perhaps you can edit your boot files to try to attach to the IP address of the image server instead of the NETBIOS name...

I.E..

\\IMAGESERVER\SHARENAME
vs.
\\192.168.182.13\SHARENAME (making believe that the IP address stated is your RDP or Image server.

Look for the NET USE command in your autoexec.bat file in the boot image.

Could be DNS related as well. Is the DNS server the client using the same as the RDP/Image server? If not, you can try specifying in your DHCP server scope options, the DNS server that RDP is using.

Steven,

Thanks for your response. I'll try these out.

The DNS server is a different server. A this point, I have only tried using the IP address, not the NETBIOS name.

I am also trying to set up an additional RDP server in the environment the client servers are located. Do you think this will help?

Modify the LMHOST file on both PXE images by adding an entry for the RDP server. Then re-create the PXE images. MS-DOS drive mapping understands NETBIOS names and WINS.

I've tried adding in the RDP server to the lmhost file with no success. Still erroring out.

The PXE files? You'll need to edit 2 files. Did you also re-create the PXE images? What steps did you take?
