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. :) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marable, Mike Sent: Saturday, July 25, 2015 9:35 PM To: [email protected] 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.
