RE: Autologon with a Ghost boot disk

[Bahm, Terry M. (HSC)]

It won't. 

After discussing this with Symantec it appears that their NET.EXE won't
take the username parameter. It looks like another ver of DOS would need
to be used either on their boot disk or someone else's. For now I'm
going to setup a Ghostcast server which apparently does about the same
thing. 

Thanks guys for the replys.

He's booting from an ms-dos diskette. I doubt the winxp version of
net.exe would work:)

Any Windows XP box should have NET.EXE handy:

Directory of C:\WINDOWS\system32

RE: Autologon with a Ghost boot disk

[Bahm, Terry M. (HSC)]

When we run NET USE HELP it doesn't list username as a parameter and the
way it's working it seems to be picking up the login name from the
network section of the network.ini. 
 
If we try to put "/USER:domainname\username" or
"/USERNAME:domainname\username" in the command line it errors saying
it's an invalid parameter. This is wierd since many sources say that it
should be a valid entry. 
 
The Ghost wizard uses PC-DOS by default but MS-DOS as an option. Could
the ver of DOS and NET.EXE have something to do with it? If so anyone
know where I can get MS-DOS files?

The syntax of this command is: 


--- Included Stuff Follows --- 
NET USE 
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]] 
 [/USER:[domainname\]username] 
 [/USER:[dotted domain name\]username] 
 [/USER:[EMAIL PROTECTED] domain name] 
 [/SMARTCARD] 
 [/SAVECRED] 
 [[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]] 


This should work: 
  NET USE F: \\servername\sharename password /username:domain\userlogin

Thanks for the reply. I think it got us going in the right direction but
we're still getting loginname/pswd prompts. We're trying to use the line
below in autoexec.bat. Anyone see why it would still prompt for login &
pswd? It works if you hit return twice.
 
NET USE F: \\servername\sharename password /YES

U can script `net use` and `net logon` for example in the autoexec.bat
file. You can also add the password in the command.

Subject: Autologon with a Ghost boot disk

 

Anyone know if you can (or how to) with a boot USB drive created with
the latest version? We're an AD environment just trying to map a drive
to a share for upload / download of images. 

The Symantec boot disk wizard doesn't have any options for doing it and
we don't want to have to manually feed the credentials. Any help
appreciated.

 

Thanks
