OK, so I ended up bypassing the HNC and EHNC all together. Being we need a reboot to occur before joining the domain, I created a powershell script to run on that first auto logon to take care of the name change. So the unattend names it with the * variable, then PS runs and pulls the current computer name, the asset from the bios, and serial from the bios and mashes them together and is working perfectly. Here is the script if it helps someone else gets started with their PS script:

#Rename the Workstation
$CurrerntComputerName = (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem -Property Name).Name
$SerialNumber = (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_BIOS | Select-Object SerialNumber).SerialNumber
$AssetTag = (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_SystemEnclosure | Select-Object SMBiosAssetTag).SMBiosAssetTag

$OSDComputerName = “$($AssetTag)-$($SerialNumber)”

Rename-Computer -ComputerName $CurrerntComputerName -NewName $OSDComputerName

@Wayne-Workman I think a moderator could do it. 😄

Version of FOG, boot file being used, OS being captured, model of problematic host, Kernel version being used with fog, HDD type, and any other details would greatly help us help you.

@Tom-Elliott yes problem solved after deleting all caches.

@Wayne-Workman As the old newsman’s adage goes: ‘I don’t make the news. I just report it.’ If you accept the the MS EULA when Windows is installed, you are bound by all of the nonsense that follows.

since the /tmp/mydrivers link is created make sure you can list the contents of ls /ntfs/Drivers If both checkout then just issue the copy command manually cp -R /tmp/mydrivers/* /ntfs/Drivers That should copy the files to the windows 😄 drive.

@cojohnson What do you mean?

Logs would be VERY useful.

a pull request via git.

So, make a github account, fork the fog project, download your fork to your local work space, Make your changes. Commit your changes, push your changes. Then do a pull request with the main repo. The devs will look it over and either merge or not, often with comments when they don’t.

@fry_p They do run as the SYSTEM user. One thing to do is redirect output to a log file for every line. Then you will be able to see where it fails.

@Wayne-Workman you can put me down again. As of right now I am free, but only time will tell.

@Tom-Elliott thanks for suggestions.
Yesterday I mess up with $LANG variable. Back to en_US.UTF-8 resolve issue.
Thanks again.

Thanks this worked.

Personally, I install smart notebook on every image. Then I leave a copy of the installer on the C:\ drive for actual smartboards. We just run the installer and choose “Smartboard Drivers” so it works with the smartboard.

@george1421 said in Client reboot screen:

I could see value in an option for a snapin to install now vs a delayed install/reboot.

If the snapin is script-based, one could easily include a sleep command in the script.

Woot woot!

@Jbob Thank you! I’ve been building some EXEs with SFX maker, and this will simplify things greatly for me. Just gotta upload my office 2016 pro exe I complied and test it.

Also, @Sebastian-Roth when things are hash tagged wiki, after I add them I edit the hash tag and remove the hash symbol. Just an FYI so you can do the same if you wanted.

This might help:
