Sounds like WINS/DNS issues. 

 

Is wins running on both servers? Run ipconfig /all and compare both outputs.
Additionally check your DNS server to see what entries it has for your
server.

 

MDT isn't really doing anything special here, simply using the underlying OS
capabilities. F8 and the command prompt are your friends in this case. :)

Subject: [MDT-OSD] MDT 2013 Update - Can Only Connect Using FQDN?

 

I'm finding that using MDT 2013 Update 1 will only work if my deployment
share is mapped using the FQDN, while on MDT 2013 just the server name is
sufficient.

 

Anyone else seeing this?

 

I have a server that has 2 shares on it.  One if our original MDT 2013
share.  The second is a new MDT share set up for testing MDT 2013 U1.

The original MDT 2013 share is managed using a VM with MDT 2013 and ADK
8.1-U1.

The new MDT 2013 U1 share is managed using a VM with MDT 2013 U1 and ADK 10.

 

I boot a machine using the original MDT 2013 ISO and I am able to
authenticate without a problem.

I boot a machine using the new MDT 2013 U1 ISO and I am unable to
authenticate.  I get the error that the network path is not found.

I can open a command prompt and ping the server name successfully.  When I
try to manually map a drive to the MDT 2013 U1 share using NET USE it will
fail, again "server/path not found" if I attempt using \\server\MDTShare
<file:///\\server\MDTShare> .  But, if I use \\server.demo.com\MDTShare
<file:///\\server.demo.com\MDTShare>  it works.

 

Now, as soon as I send this I'm bound to find the answer.  That's just the
way my luck is.

 

Thanks
