Thanks for the help... Looks like smb is erroring out.
331: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access Denied) Interesting since the account I'm using is mine, the share has full access to the group I'm in(domain admins), and I added my account with full access also. So.....I'm wondering why it's complaining about no access when there is certainly access. I'm going to change the file names to lower case and see how that works. Thanks.

"ls i386" should have worked even though the folder was named I386. (It works for me, but see below.) Our code reads i386/txtsetup.sif and related files to identify the OS media, and those file name lookups are failing because your file is named TXTSETUP.SIF. Our boot disk tries two different Linux drivers to connect to the /z share. First it tries smbfs (by running smbmount), then it falls back to cifs (by running mount.cifs). The latter receives much less testing because smbmount usually works. With a Windows file server, everything should be case-insensitive. And using smbmount, it definitely is. This may be a bug in the Linux CIFS driver; I will look into it. Meanwhile, to get this working, you need to figure out why smbmount is failing. The boot disk is pretty verbose about what it is doing, and there should be some sort of diagnostic when smbmount fails. Use Shift+PageUp to scroll backwards on the Linux console. Or you can rename everything under i386 to lower-case, which I believe will help. I am attaching a Perl script which automates this. To use it: 1) If you have not done so already, install ActiveState Perl and associate .pl files with it. 2) Run "lower-caseify.pl Z:\os\win2ksp4\i386". Please let us know how it goes. You are not the first person to have problems with case sensitivity, and I would like to resolve this for good. - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ unattended-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-devel
