I tried to install Windows 8.1 Pro RTM german with the Windows Deployment Service under Windows Server 2012 R2.
Unfortunately the setupprocess can't access the UNC-share on the server where the additional drivers are located.
The specified path and the credentials are correct. Also tried many different combination (ip-address or servername, different user...)
The cbs_unattend.log contains the following:

All pathes and credentials listed in the log are working from a different computer which is not joined.
I assume, that there is a problem with the network driver. I have integrated the NIC-drivers in the startup image, which can connect and install the Windows 8.1 Pro setup. When the installed Windows 8.1 starts, it has the NIC-driver installed and the connection
to the domain is working correctly.
I have no more clues, where the problem could be located.
