How do I remove the c$ to fix this? I am having this same issue. If I go to command prompt and run "net use * \\computername\SmartDeploy" it says Z drive is now connected. It will image unattended with no problem after that but how do I fix that in the answer file so I don't have to use the net use command every time? Below is the xml from my USB boot media.
