Windows 10 Black Screen

Can you please update?
The init’s had a bit where the osid wasn’t being passed and this has since been fixed, as well as a few other issues.

@Tom-Elliott Tom, I would be happy to, but I just got it from SVN this morning. Is there a newer version already?
How can I check quickly?

@Vanlue-IT-Guy Sorry,
SVN is updated all the time man.
The way to update what you have, cd to the trunk location.
If you put your install in /opt/svn/trunk you’d do these steps:
cd /opt/svn/trunk svn up cd bin ./installfog.sh -y
You must always do the up from the root of the trunk folder (not within bin or packages as it only updates up the tree, not down).

Tom,I updated fog and found out while I was using two identical laptops, the BIOS versions were different. Once I updated to the same BIOS version, everything works! Now I’m on to activating Windows and Office. Do you have any suggestions or easy steps for this?

The new client activates windows just fine. It’ll even use the product key you assign to an individual host via web management.

@Wayne-Workman Wayne,
Thanks for the quick reply. I think I have Windows activating ok. My “problem” is Office. It retains the key, but still needs manually activated on the target computer.

You can do it with a startup script via group policy, or a login script.
I suppose it’d be possible to do it with a snapin, too.

@Wayne-Workman @Vanlue-IT-Guy KMS would be easiest for both Windows and Office. Then everything will activate on its own and you don’t have to worry about it through FOG or any other method. Office 2016 is very good about quickly and silently using KMS (Office 2013 sometimes took a considerable amount of time to do it in the background, often times alerting the user a few times along the way).

If you have a KMS server setup for MS Office, and if you have the KMS version of Office installed on your image.
We use a Windows KMS here for MS Office.
