Network Drive Mappings and Mount Points

Optional Components

Deployment Solution
User name: Enter the authorized user name that was set up while creating the
Deployment Share directory. If you did not assign a User name and Password when
the Deployment Share or file server was created, leave these fields blank.
Password: Enter the password for the user name.
Confirm password: Enter the password for the user name to confirm that you entered
the correct password in the Password field.
This option lets you set up drive mappings (for DOS and WinPE) or mount points (for
Linux) so that when client computers boot to automation or a network prompt, they
connect to the appropriate server. You can create multiple drive mappings or mount
points. However, if you are creating a DOS configuration, the first mapped drive you
specify must connect to the Deployment Share.
Field Definitions
Manually create drive mappings: Select this option if you want to include the drive
mappings in the autoexec.bat file when client computers boot to automation.
Drive: By default, the mapped drive that appears is F: \\<Deployment Share
server>\eXpress. Select a different drive letter from the drop-down list if F: is already
in use.
Path: Enter the path for the Deployment Share. The path you enter maps to the drive
letter you selected in the Drive field. You can also click Browse to navigate to the
Deployment Share if you are unsure of the directory path or if the image files are stored
on a file server.
Example:
Windows users: \\server\share
NetWare users: server\volume:directory
Linux users: //server/mount point
Create an entry in the LMHOSTS file for the Deployment Server file store (other
entries must be added manually): Select this option if your network does not support
NetBIOS name resolution for IP addresses. Enter a Server name and IP address so
that client computers can find the Deployment Share where the image files are stored.
Use NetWare login scripts to create drive mappings: Select this option if you use
NetWare and you want login scripts to create the drive mappings.
This page lets you add additional components to the boot image, such as WSH (Windows
Scripting Host), WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation), and so on. You can
select the optional components that you want to include in the WinPE boot image.
This wizard page is available only when you select WinPE. By default, the optional
components to be included with this configuration are selected.
Enable WinPE Firewall: By default, this check box is not selected. Selecting this
option enables the WinPE Firewall, which interferes with multicast imaging.
