Hi tovis,
I'm sorry it took so long to respond, i got held up with other things at
work and wasn't able to take time for this until now.
As for your suggestions: I was able to mount the share with my windows box
using the net use command and access the data. I had to use username:
guest and password: guest in order to get access.
However, using it in linux was unsuccessful. The command I used was
mount.cifs //(serverip)/install /mnt/z/ -o username=guest,ro,nocase and
the response it gave me was (after asking for a password, which gave me
the same response regardless of what I entered for a password) mount
error(1): Operation not permitted
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I also attempted to run the Unattended PXE boot install again, thinking
maybe it was phrased incorrectly. It gave me a number of more verbose
responses:
***Trying mount.cifs \\(serverip)\install /z -o username=guest,ro,nocase
Status code returned 0xc0000022 NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

However, have you tried to mount on your samba share with an ordinary
windows box?

mount.cifs //{gues or ip address}/install /mnt/test -o

> Command ls -l shouild show for all directories rx (read and run) and r
(read) for files for OTHERS (user and group does not meter for this).

unattended script as well as trying to put the mount.cifs command into
another workstation's terminal. The command I am using is "mount.cifs
//"serverip"/install /z -o username=guest,ro,nocase". Like I said, this
will mount my share on the /z folder but will not let me actually
access any of the data. I checked the permissions set (ls -l) and it's
set to a 755 mode (read/execute for user and group, rwx for owner). Has
