MDT user credentials error: Invalid credentials: The network path was not found
-
Monday, June 15, 2009 11:07 AMI have DELL E5400 and DELL Optiplex 760 pc. In the before, DELL630 is working with my MDT service, but now, DELL E5400 and DELL Optiplex 760 not working with my MDT.When PE loaded and go to User Credentials interface, I input the user name and password(I confirm the user name and password is correct), it will display error message "Invalid credentials: The network path was not found". I checked that the network driver is correct.After search some information in the website, someone said that maybe the network initializing timeout issue, so I according to Tim Quan guide to add following to startnet.cmd
wpeutil InitializeNetwork
ping localhost
wpeinit
Then I update the deploy location in MDT and then re-loaded it again, but unlucky, I still meet the same issue. I tried to use ipconfig /all command to check the network status, I couldn't find out local network connection. I click "Cancel" to check the error message, it will display"A connection to the deployment share could not be made. The deployment will not proceed. DHCP lease was not obtained for any networking device!Possible cause: check physical connection".
It seems that PE not loaded network driver successfully, but it is very strange that the network driver is correct.
Have someone can help me?
Thanks a lot

Tuesday, June 16, 2009 11:51 AMDear Tim,Thanks very much for your reply.I am deploying Windows XP SP2, not windows Vista.I confirm the network driver(windows xp driver) is correct, as I tried to burn the imgae into the DVD and using DVD to install the pc, after finished the install, I found that the network driver install successfully.I obtain some inforamtion form internet that maybe using network driver vista version can fix the issue, but I didn't test it, I will test it tomorrow.In fact, I am very strange that why someone using below command can fix the issue, but I still couldn'twpeutil InitializeNetwork
ping localhost
wpeinit
Hope you can give me more help
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
You can try the Windows Vista drivers now.
Please understand that an issue with the same symptom can be caused by various factors and the solutions are different.
As I know, Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 Beta 1 is now available. It has fixed many bugs in Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2008 and you can have a try:
Hope it helps.
