Hi,
I suspect the problem you have is that CIFS uses strict name checking by
default - that means unless \\servername<file:///\\servername> is the actual
name of your sever, it returns an error.
You can disable strict name checking as described below but be warned it
requires a reboot.
Alternatively, you can specify the server, username and password as a DHCP
option[1] which involves no editing of the ISO.
Regards,
Mark.
[1] http://unattended.sourceforge.net/pxe-win2k.html step 8 only, don't worry
about the rest of the config for PXE booting.
Howto disable strict Netbios checks:
1. Create the CNAME record for the file server on the appropriate DNS
server, if the CNAME record is not already present.
2. Apply the following registry change to the file server. To do so, follow
these steps:
a. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
b. Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
c. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry
value:
Value name: DisableStrictNameChecking
Data type: REG_DWORD
Radix: Decimal
Value: 1
d. Quit Registry Editor.
3. Restart your computer.

Hi again,
let me correct myself. Im able to ping my PDC as ntinstall, but Im not able as
a "normal" user to connect to \\ntinstall<file:///\\ntinstall> or
\\ntinstall\install<file:///\\ntinstall\install>. Even an Administrator is not
able to list \\ntinstall\install<file:///\\ntinstall\install>. Maybe because of
the CNAME?
I have added a CNAME in the Forward Lookupzone as you can see in the picture.
ntinstall domainname.localdomain.
I have no idea what to do now..
Thanks

Hello List!
This is my first post here because Im stuck in getting unattended running. I
created a user named "guest" with the password "guest" and when I logon with a
machine and try to get \\ntinstall\install<file:///\\ntinstall\install>
everything works fine, but when I try to boot from the linux installcd it
stucks with the following message:
CIFS mount failed w return code = -5
mount error 5 = input/output error.
What should I do? I would love to see it up and running :).
Greeings
