Network Boot stuck at Network Path dialog

[darshanags]

Hello,

I have a network boot setup which follows the steps outlined here: https://www.aioboot.com/en/network-boot/. My end requirement is to install Windows 7 through this network boot setup.

However, I am stuck at the Network Path dialog screen after booting into the Windows Environment. I have checked the network share path for the AIO Boot Drive and it is accessible to other PCs in the same network - I tried accessing the share with and without authentication - with the same result - when I enter the share path and hit enter, I am shown the message, "The Network Path is incorrect or does not exist. Make sure this is the Network Path of the AIO Boot drive.".

I also tried adding the Network Path to the networkpath.txt, this gave me the same result as above.

Am I missing something with my setup?

Regards Darsh

I found the only way to get this to work was to create a user "aioboot" with password "password", then give the "aioboot" user read permissions to the root directory of AIO-Boot (Sharing) as well as NTFS permissions (Security tab). Then on the network path, \computerName\aioboot|aioboot|password

propably there is and second file "networkpath.txt" at AIO\Tools\PXE you have to configure
