K2000 KBE giving unable to mount KBOX share at \\└¿˾Y\peinst
Very odd issue, we have a perfectly working k2000 KBE that will image fine when inside of our firewall, in one of our regional offices we have been unable to do this so far, we have muddle through to the stage where its getting an IP address and then attempting to launch the KBE, but when getting ot the ***Mounting the KBOX install shares we get:
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name was not found
ERROR: Unable to mKBOX share at \\â””¿Ë¾Y\peinst
(and yes its with those odd characters)
on our firewall we see nothing hitting it to indicate a port being blocked. and after it fails i can get an IP address and can ping the IP and hostname of our K2000.
None of this happens from inside our main office, so the system seems to be working perfectly, i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on this - we are doing this on a CISCO 1841
DHCP config on this is as follows to get us this far:
ip dhcp pool Test-WAN
network 172.30.10.0 255.255.255.0
bootfile kbox2000.0
next-server 192.168.28.89
domain-name ourdomain.com
default-router 172.30.10.1
dns-server 192.168.21.10 192.168.21.11
option 66 ip 192.168.28.89 (our k2000 ip)
any thoughts would be really appriciated.

Hi Trentderby,
Can you manually mount the PEINST share?
When it fails, type this command: net use \\%K2000_IP%\peinst Y:
If it mounts, try browsing to Y: and see if it you can access the contents.
Also what version if your K2000 running?

Also , if you're on 3.4 , make sure your driver share password does not include any special characters. eg. ?/#@ .
If thats the case, you'll have to change the driver share password in the K2000 , build a new KBE with the new password in it, and replicate this KBE over to the RSA. - ruanben 11 years ago -

seems to still be occuring, i have changed the driver share password to not have ! in it and no other odd characters. when trying to run the command net use \\%K2000_IP%\peinst Y: im getting Error 53 - network path was not found. im going to try a reboot and see what occurs.
which i have just done and the same issue occurs. - trentderby 11 years ago -
just tested and the issue still happens to be outside of our network, when your in our network it all works fine. - trentderby 11 years ago

After changing the password, did you create a new KBE?
In order for the password to be updated, a new KBE needs to be created.
If its still happening with a new KBE, i'd suggest to contact your local kace support. - ruanben 11 years ago -
to answer yes i did create a new KBE after changing the password, this is the response i got from kace support:
Hi Terence,
if I correctly understand the issue the most effective way would be a K2 RSA which is installed in the branch office.
The RSA can be downloaded from the main K2.
As far as I understood:
You try to install in the branch office from the main K2.
This fails.
If you try to install in the main office all is correct.
For branch offices we have the RSA (remote site appliance)
so i need to setup remove site appliances for each of our regional office? i must say i am a bit surprised that that seems to be the fix for this issue. - trentderby 11 years ago-
Yes, see my response to your next question... - nheyne 11 years ago

well i have been given a fantastic gem from support:
Hi Terence,
correct, it is a firewall issue.
Our best practices are RSA.
Please contact the vendor of your firewall.
Kind regards
----------------------------
so helpful.
not even, please contact the vendor of your firewall, we normally recommend you have ports x and x unblocked, and in our general experience there is issues with x firewalls, you might want to ask them if x is enabled.
just a "contact the vendor of your firewall" - trentderby 11 years ago-
Here is the list of ports from KACE: http://www.kace.com/support/resources/kb/article/Network-ports-needed-for-K2000-appliance-operation
Their answer may seem frustrating (and seems par for the course in my experience), but it makes sense. They can't be expected to know all of the different firewall configurations that are out there, but they do have the port list above available for you to use. Also, setting up RSA's is very easy and will cut down on the traffic across your WAN significantly. So it really is the best thing to do in your situation, in my opinion. - nheyne 11 years ago

Fair enough, but the information you have provided is more than i got from support, normally you would expect the support to be more helpfull than the forums considering they may deal with these types of issues all the time. anyway, ill try those ports and see how i get on, thanks. - trentderby 11 years ago

ok, we are now at the stage where its mounting when we run your commands:
net use \\%K2000_IP%\peinst Y:
i checked the logs on the server and we get:

the bit i find interesting is the
": tftp: client does not accept options"
part. could this be something do do with the router? - trentderby 11 years ago -
sorry as a side, its still not working with the same errors. - trentderby 11 years ago

i have a support call tomorrow morning hopefully ill have some answers then. - trentderby 11 years ago

OK, an extremely helpful support representative resolved this for me. the issue was with DHCP Option 66 on the Cisco kit, when running this it saw the share as: \\ââ€â€Â¿Ã‹Â¾Y\peinst
the solution was to bypass this by using a tool called the KBE manipulator, with this we created a new KBE with the IP address hard coded instead of using the DHCP options for the router.
this allowed us to boot directly into the KBE with no issues.
if anyone else encounters this issue it will require a support call but you can refer to this ticket number:
