MDT Bootstrap.ini Issue

Question

Hello All,

I have a question, I am relatively new to MDT, in setting this up I'm trying to automate the connection to the deployment share. I found an article that speaks to modifying bootstrap.ini, however doing so doesnt appear to change the behavior when deploying an image as I am still prompted for credentials to access the network share. Can anyone here offer any advice on what I may be missing? I've updated the file, saved it with the creds as shown below, updated the deployment share but my changes dont appear to take effect.....any help that you all can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Shannon

Hi, @aXcelio
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
First, we have to make sure the UserDomain, UserID, and UserPassword are typed correctly.
Then, after the deployment share has been configured, it needs to be updated.
1. In the Deployment Workbench, right-click the MDT Build Lab deployment share and select Update Deployment Share.
2. Use the default options for the Update Deployment Share Wizard.
