Network bootdisk for a windows network

[verbal]

I want to make a DOS network bootdisk for my Windows 2003 domain at home. The main reason is to access my network drives in DOS for PC images. It's a pain to copy them to the PC when I want to put a fresh image on a PC.

I know how to setup the drivers and they work perfectly. I just don't know how to get a login screen in DOS so I can login to the domain. Anybody know? Thanks!

If your drives are NTFS, you'll need to spend money for the NTFS drivers.

As far as getting a login screen for the domain, the DOS client should do that when it's invoked. I guess I don't understand what the problem is.

You do not normally "log in" to a windows network with a dos network book disk. What you do is map a network drive with a "net use" command to a share that contains the images. You can pass the user account with the "net use" command, and then get prompted for a password. Once the drive is mapped successfully, you can access the image and download it.

Uhh... say what? You need the name/password to connect, as you point out.
