You’ll see how to identify the location by it IP address of where the FOS image is running.
myip=`ip route get 8.8.8.8 | awk 'NR==1 {print $NF}' | cut -d "." -f1-2`;
case "${myip}" in

If you couple that with this post:
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7740/the-magical-mystical-fog-post-download-script/7 you can see how I use sed to modify the unattend.xml script
# Unattend.xml path (note the case specifics in the file name and path)
unattendfile="/ntfs/Windows/Panther/unattend.xml";
sed -i -e "s#<MachineObjectOU>\([^<][^<]*\)</MachineObjectOU>#<MachineObjectOU>${oupath}</MachineObjectOU>#gi" $unattendfile
If someone wanted to merge all of the bits together from that tutorial into a script it might look like this.
#!/bin/bash
. /usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.sh
# windows 7
osdiskpart="/dev/sda2";
# create a directory to hang the Windows C: drive partition on in FOS
# the 2>/dev/null below just redirects any errors from the mkdir command to null. i.e.
# if the directory already exists, I don't want to know about it, just hide the error. Understand
# that I could have tested if the directory already existed, but that takes more programming steps
# I'm just going to try to create it and ignore the error if it already exists.
mkdir /ntfs 2>/dev/null
# This next command connects the hard drive partition to the directory we just created. You will see the
# 2>/tmp/mntfail at the end of the mount command. In this case if the connection fails we want to write
# the output to a text file we can review and test to see if it exists. If the file exists then something went
# wrong with the connection to the hard disk partition.
mount.ntfs-3g "${osdiskpart}" /ntfs 2>/tmp/mntfail
# this last bit of magic checks to see if the mntfail file exists and if it does then it means the mount
# failed so there is no need to continue on with the script.
mntRet="$?";
if [ ! "$mntRet" = "0" ]; then
echo "Failed to mount C:";
# display what happened
cat /tmp/mntfail;
# give the reader a chance to see what the error was
sleep 12;
# terminate the post install script
exit 1;
fi
# Unattend.xml path (note the case specifics in the file name and path)
unattendfile="/ntfs/Windows/Panther/unattend.xml";
chassis=`dmidecode -s chassis-type`;
chassis="${chassis%"${chassis##*[![:space:]]}"}"; #Remove training space
chassis="${chassis,,}"; # Convert string to lower
if [ "$chassis" = "laptop" ]; then
chtype="Portable";
elif [ "$chassis" = "tablet" ]; then
chtype="Tablet";
else
# We'll default every other chassis type to desktop
chtype="Desktop";
fi
# you may need to replace the host 8.8.8.8 with a valid target address if you have a closed network
myip=`ip route get 8.8.8.8 | awk 'NR==1 {print $NF}' | cut -d "." -f1-2`;

Understand these are just snippets of code that are stuck together in some kind of logical order. The above hasn’t been tested. There are also some assumptions in this script as to the partition layout for win7. There are other scripts in other of my tutorials that does a better job of actually finding the ‘C:’ drive on the target computer. In the snippet above the fog client isn’t used to name the computer or connect it to the domain. The unattend.xml file is use for that. So you need to have the other bits in the unattend.xml file so the target is capable of doing what it needs. Like having a user account defined that is allowed to add computers to the domain and such.
