Error 6118 when attempting to save image file to network location

Hi All,

I am attempting to save an image file from my reference machine to a specified network location. Unfortunately, I keep receiving:

It would appear, after doing some research, that the Net Use command queries a network for systems with the same workgroup name. Therefore, when attempting to use the Code:

command, it's imperative that both the reference system and the server system are on the same workgroup (or domain if you have domain server I assume). I don't have a domain server and my organization is quite small, so we just use workgroups to organize our systems.

winPE appears to use the default workgroup name of workgroup. My server system has a different, custom-set workgroup name. I have confirmed that changing my server system back to the name workgroup allows my batch script to run and complete properly.

My question is whether or not there is a way to change the workgroup name in winPE so that I don't have to change the name of my server system every time I want to image some computers? Or perhaps some sort of other work around?

Thank you ahead of time for any and all help.

 

Replaced router and all mapped drives are okay but all networked computers are missing

Hi Dan,

Thanks, yup on both computers connected by Ethernet:

System error 6118 has occurred.

The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available

This is not clear:

Then go to Settings -> Network and Internet -> Ethernet (or select Wi-Fi, if you are connected to a local network through a wireless connection). Click the network icon and verify that the
Make this PC discoverable option is enabled.

What "click on the network icon"?

Steve
