Hello, I am hoping someone here might be able to steer me in the right direction with my problem.
I am having problems with clients getting installed. It seems to me, by reading WN_LOGON log file, that on some clients the smsboot1.ini file isn't being created. So when Boot32wn.exe calls this file for the needed input for the client install, its not there. The clients that are having this problem have enough hard-disk space, so I don't see that being the issue. The majority of the clients that aren't getting installed are requesting from the same logon server(MEXN32). Where most, not all, of the clients that are O.K are also initiated from the same logon server(MEXN31), a different server from the clients that are having the problem. I have attached two WN_LOGON.log files. One is from a client that installed and one is from one that did not. I also noticed on the bad one, it seems to take a few extra trys to get the "szClientPath" by using the GetPathFromEnvironmentString. Don't know if that is related or not. Thanks in advance for advice and/or help with this issue.
