we deploy OS W10 21H2 using network usb that connect machines to deployment share it is working fine but some times we are facing this issue when we deploy more than 2machines at the same time and some times it is working fine.
this issue causes failing of some steps in TS. that mean once the OS deployment finished we find missing application and that happen randomly.

Could ypu please advise in this?

    Two thoughts:

    • Post your bootstrap.ini file
    • Hit F8 to get a command prompt. Try net use to manually map the drive. You might get a more helpful error message

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    1,The ramdom issue is really strange. Is there any difference between the working and non-working machines? How about disable the firewall?

    2,Please check the bootstrap.ini and customsettings.ini to see if there is anything unusual.

    A similar thread for your reference: MDT Troubleshooting - "Unable to map a network drive to" or "Network Path Not Found"

    Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

    Best regards,
    Simon
