Windows 10: Windows PE - System Error 67 | The Network Name Cannot Be Found

Windows Version On Host Machine - 2004

VMWare Network Acronyms

Main Router VM (Bridged & Host-Only Virtual LANs) - PFSense

Domain Controller VM (DC1) [Host-Only LAN] - Windows Server 2016

Windows 10 Imageing Machine (Host-Only LAN) - Win10 VM



Hey everyone! A couple of months ago, as a personal project of mine, I managed to create a Windows Deployment Server virtual machine that could deploy Windows (with Adobe Reader & Notepad++ already installed) on any of my virtual machines that were connected to my virtual network.

Since I really enjoyed that project and the idea of Windows Imaging, a couple of days ago I decided to do another Windows Imaging project, but instead of using WDS, I wanted to try sysprepping an image and than deploying it using ImageX and Windows PE. I managed to sysprep the Windows image and capture the install.wim file on a separate virtual HDD that was on my Windows 10 VM. I than took that same virtual HDD from my W10 VM and attached to my main Domain Controller VM and copied the install.wim file onto a shared folder I have on my DC.

With the .wim file copied to the shared folder, I than booted into WinPE on my WIN10 VM with the intent to map the shared folder and than deploy the install.wim file using ImageX. When I got into WinPE's main screen, I made sure I had a working Internet connection by pinging Google, my virtual router, and my DC by IP Address, which I could do on all three.

I than went to map the shared folder in WinPE by using net use Z: \\dc1"Shared Folder" but I keep getting System Error 67 Has Occurred The Network Name Cannot Be Found. I made sure that the folder was actually shared, which it was. Another weird thing I came across was when I tried pinging my DC by name (ping dc1), I get all four replies, but they're IPv6 replies and not IPv4 replies.

The main issue I'm having is trying to map the network drive to deploy the .wim file

I'm thinking the cause of this issue is a DNS issue, but I'm not exactly sure. If anyone has any advice/tips, that would be fantastic!

How do I change the network adapter name? (Windows 10)

Press Windows Key + R, type secpol.msc and press Enter to run it. In Local Security Policy window, go to the Network List Manager Policies in the left pane. Now in the right pane double click on the network name that you want to change. In the Properties windows under the Name section make sure that Name is selected. Now in the input field enter the name that you wish to use for your connection. Click Apply then OK to save the changes. And you might have to log in again or to restart your computer before the changes are applied.

 

Windows 10; Network Name

Hi,

The Registry steps follower that resolved the issue.

But could you tell us why it appears to select a network status name based on your past Wi-Fi network connections, and then applies it to your wired Ethernet connection?

Thanks.
