GUI Server Deployment Problem

[Former Member]

Dear all expert,

Thanks for your kindly read and reply first, I have installed GUI Server on a member server, but question is, how can I deploy the GUI on non-Domain joined PCs?

I have tried to make a deploy_GUI.bat file then want to share on workgroup environment, but it doest work. Other workgroup PC cannot be accessed,

So I want to ask how can I share that file on workgroup enviroment?

Should I adjust some settings on user group or guest group?

Please help provide some detailed steps.

Well,

In domain you always must deliver user and password. So in this case group Everyone means only authenticated users from domain and trausted domains.

- for workgroups it does not work.

What I suggest is :

Create local user on source server with read only rights to the folder and share with installation source.

Than in script

first map installation share with command NET USE x:
Servername\ShareName /USER:Servername\LocalUserName pswword

than start setup directly or copy files to local disk and than run setup from local disk.

You can also use command NET USE ipc$:
Servername\ShareName /USER:Servername\LocalUserName pswword and then start setup with UNC path
\Servername\ShareName\SetupFoolder\setupexe....
