Preparatory steps for accessing server data on winpe
- Make sure your computer is connected to the same network as the server.
- Get the IP address or Hostname of your data server (eg ipconfig /all command on Command Prompt)
- Get user information authorized to share data (username and password).
- Check the shared folder on the server to see if it has enough access permissions and enabled sharing.
- This article creates the Test_Share_PE folder on the server (shared machine) and shares full rights for User TestPE.
Boot into Anhdv Boot’s WinPE, can be used via USB or directly from Windows. Note: use Win10PE or Win11PE to do this. See features of Anhdv Boot Premium.
Run the PENetwork software in the Taskbar or in the right-click menu.
After starting the software, continue as follows:
Select Network Drives. Set up Drive letter, Path, username, password one by one and then click Connect. As shown in the image above, I used the data sharing server IP in the Path section (enter the entire shared folder). You can choose any drive letter from the list, you don’t have to choose last like me.
If successful, you will receive a notification as shown above. Click Ok to exit the window. The picture below is the additional server connection according to Host name in the Path section.
You can open This PC to check whether the shared server data has appeared or not (whether there is drive Z:\ and Y:\ or not)
As you can see, you have successfully connected and mapped the server data to 2 network drives, Y:\ and Z:. Now you can ghost lan, backup or restore data as you like.
