[mdt] MDT - The network path was not found

[angrycomputingteacher]

I've spent the morning trying to get MDT to work again. I've even rebuilt my deployment share but I'm still having the same issue.

 

Every time I get an error saying 'The network path was not found'. I'm wondering whether it's just this machine having issues. The network is part of the reason I'm rebuilding it, the wireless card won't turn on and it's not picking up group policies(name resolution policy issues).

 

I'm PXE booting, but I get the same when running LiteTouch from within Windows. MDT is the latest version and the OS I'm trying to install is Windows 10 1703 x64.

 

 

Help would be very much appreciated

Test a different machine, see what that does.

I've just run it on a VM. I still get errors.

Does the account you use for accessing the MDT DS have access in both share permissions & NTFS permissions?

 

if you hit either ctrl+f8, ctrl+f10 or f8 (I can't remember which one) when you get the error screen, this should open cmd.exe. Can you ping any servers?

[angrycomputingteacher]

Both are set to everyone permissions so it should work.

 

Yes, I can ping my domain controller and all other computers using the cmd.

It’s failing on the Core (normal) step.

 

What is this step doing in the TS?

Also have you got ADK 1703 installed on the server?

Are you using Fqdn? If your DHCP options don't add a connection DNS domain you need to do this. Try F8 check ipconfig for a IP and ping your server.

I've got it working.

 

When I set my static IP and DNS server, I also set my DNS Domain and I also recreated the task sequence. One of those seemed to fix it Finally can rebuild this machine.
