Hi I have built a maas vm and everything is setup properly except when I run the copyimage script nothing happens and I get not errors, im able to access the samba share from windows and I have ran the copy-item command on a test file and it copies the file I can see it on windows but from the Linux vm im not able to, any ideas?
Using windows 8.1
Lets get some more info on the situation first.
Please add the output of the following commands:
On the windows machine you ran the script on:
net use
If the MaaS samba share is not there, lets try to add it and copy over some files again:
# The samba share on the MaaS server should be named reminst
New-SmbMapping -RemotePath \\<MAAS IP>\reminst -LocalPath X:
you should now be able to see a new drive letter called X. Lets try to write something there:
echo testing > X:\test.txt
NOTE: it is not necessary to add a SMB mapping for this to work. UNC path names should be enough. We do this for debug purposes only.
On your MaaS VM:
Lets see if the file is on the MaaS node:
ls /var/lib/maas/samba
You should see a test.txt. If the file is there, you should be able to copy over the WinPE files using:
CopyImageToMaaS.ps1 -TargetPath X:\
Please take note, that MaaS expects one of the following folder names to be present in /var/lib/maas/samba:
win2012
win2012r2
win2012hv
win2012hvr2
Also, if you have not already done so, please read the guide at: http://wiki.cloudbase.it/maas
The results of the net use command were New connections will be remembered There are no entries on the list The test file worked There was no win2012hvr2 folder in /var/lib/maas/samba so I created it and I can see both that and the test file on windows and the maas vm but the copyimagetomaas is still not doing anything no errors either As a test I copied the .wim file into the samba folder with no problems, I can see it on both sides, When I ran the create image script the file it outputted for the wim was Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 SERVERHYPERCORE.wim I believe its correct, from taking a look at the copy image script it does not seem to be creating any of the new folders either, any ideas?

Just to clear things up. The samba share is mounted on windows and you can see it when doing a: net use You can copy over a file form windows, but it does not appear to be on the target.Is this correct? If so, lets make sure that copying files over is possible. You may need to set up a samba user.
