We are performing this exact process at our site. We actually do our Windows 2000 automated server loads from our filer using a boot floppy. Are you using a standard type of boot floppy created using Microsoft's Network Disk Creation utility that gets loaded with NT Server 4.0? As long as you specify the WINS servers (and the filers have WINS entries) in the protocol.ini, you should be able to map drives straight away. Are you able to get on the network at all with your floppy? Are you authenticating to the domain? Hope this helps some.

Hello guru's

We have several workstations which we want to take ghost image of, and store it on the filer, but when i try to access the filer from a boot floppy I'am not able to access the filer. I have tried to map network drive to a unix and ntfs style volume but nothing helps. I have changed the user rights for the volume, but it did not help. I can map network drives to other nt servers we have, but not to the filer. Is it possible to do this on a filer? I hope somebody can help me out here.

Regards
