Windows PE timout

[Ron]

Using Microsoft Deployment 2008...

I often get "path not found" or "invalid path" (can't remember), when I
enter my network credentials and hit "OK". Knowing the settings are correct
(proper server name, proper credentials), I click OK a few or a lot more
times and without any other change, it lets me into the task sequence menu
and proceeds just fine. I suspect PE gives up connecting due to network
latency before it can talk to the server. Knowing the network isn't going
to change, is there a way to make the process of hitting OK wait a bit
longer and retries before it comes back with "path not found"?
Thanks

Common issue, and easy workaround...

Network Timeout bug in Windows PE 2.1 causes MDT 2008 Lite Touch to
fail
