Samba Share Access and folder structure (4248254)

During the creation of a KACE Boot Environment (KBE), the SDA (Systems Deployment Appliance) looks in the \\ikbox\drivers directory for additional network and storage drivers that may be necessary for the target system. This directory must be populated with the required drivers if the default Windows PE (WinPE) driver set does not support the hardware in your environment.

Users may also need to set or change the password for accessing this share, especially after appliance upgrades or admin credential changes.

1. Add Required Drivers to the Directory

To ensure proper hardware detection during KBE creation:

• Add necessary Network and Storage drivers to \\[SDA_IP_or_Hostname]\drivers.
• Only perform this step if the default WinPE drivers do not support the target system and it fails to reach the KACE Capture/Deploy menu.

2. Set or Change the SDA Samba Share Password

1. Log into the SDA web interface.
2. Navigate to: Settings › Control Panel › General Settings › SDA Samba Share Password.
3. Enter the desired password and save the settings.

3. Accessing the Driver Share

You can map a network drive to the drivers share using the following information:

• Path: \\[SDA_IP_or_Hostname]\drivers
• Username: admin
• Password: The one configured in the previous step
