  @andrewhancock91 Asking the internet for “runas password” brings up a huge amount of questions and answers on this. Maybe just use psexec… Or even using a text file as password input. But that’s just my point of view trying to tackle this as low cost as possible.

  @sudburr I believe that solved it! On my first attempt I inserted a 5 second delay after every command in my SetupComplete.cmd; that did not help. Then I added an additional 60 second delay at the start of the SetupComplete.cmd and my first test after was successful.

  @george1421 yes it was. I also had to create the Scripts folder, it was not there by default. After adding that folder and the setupcomplete.cmd, I ran sysprep again with the unattend.xml file after adding the firstlogoncommand section to the file, deployed to my other test machine and everything worked according to plan.

  @maouu Here is how we deploy with PDQ Deploy (sorry I don’t use snapins but the install function is similar: @Echo Off start /wait dfmirage-setup-2.0.301.exe /verysilent /norestart REM Hack to determine arch of this system IF EXIST C:\Windows\SysWOW64\diskpart.exe GOTO :x64 :x86 msiexec /i tightvnc-2.7.10-setup-32bit.msi /qn /norestart ADDLOCAL="Server" SERVER_REGISTER_AS_SERVICE=1 SERVER_ADD_FIREWALL_EXCEPTION=1 SERVER_ALLOW_SAS=1 SET_USEVNCAUTHENTICATION=1 VALUE_OF_USEVNCAUTHENTICATION=1 SET_PASSWORD=1 VALUE_OF_PASSWORD=<SetMe!!> SET_USECONTROLAUTHENTICATION=1 VALUE_OF_USECONTROLAUTHENTICATION=1 SET_CONTROLPASSWORD=1 VALUE_OF_CONTROLPASSWORD=<SetMe2!!> SET_IPACCESSCONTROL=1 VALUE_OF_IPACCESSCONTROL="192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255:2,0.0.0.0-192.167.255.255:1,192.169.0.0-255.255.255.255:1" SET_REMOVEWALLPAPER=1 VALUE_OF_REMOVEWALLPAPER=1 :x64 msiexec /i tightvnc-2.7.10-setup-64bit.msi /qn /norestart ADDLOCAL="Server" SERVER_REGISTER_AS_SERVICE=1 SERVER_ADD_FIREWALL_EXCEPTION=1 SERVER_ALLOW_SAS=1 SET_USEVNCAUTHENTICATION=1 VALUE_OF_USEVNCAUTHENTICATION=1 SET_PASSWORD=1 VALUE_OF_PASSWORD=<SetMe!!> SET_USECONTROLAUTHENTICATION=1 VALUE_OF_USECONTROLAUTHENTICATION=1 SET_CONTROLPASSWORD=1 VALUE_OF_CONTROLPASSWORD=<SetMe2!!> SET_IPACCESSCONTROL=1 VALUE_OF_IPACCESSCONTROL="192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255:2,0.0.0.0-192.167.255.255:1,192.169.0.0-255.255.255.255:1" SET_REMOVEWALLPAPER=1 VALUE_OF_REMOVEWALLPAPER=1 :Exit REM Install done, errors generated by msi will be reported to installer net stop "TightVNC Server" net start "TightVNC Server" rmdir /s /q "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\TightVNC\" I’m pretty sure if you reinstall with the new parameters they will overwrite what is in the registry. I know this ISN’T what you are looking for, but it works for us.

  Hi I’m assuming it’s not an english version of windows? In my case i had to rename the german “System-Reserviert” partition to “System Reserved” to get my images without sysprep bootable on different sizes of disks. Hope this helps Regards

  @easp said in Quick Registration makes windows not genuine: I am new to using FOG, and I’ve recently installed 1.4.4. Which tutorial did you follow that made you install FOG 1.4.4? This version is years old and we don’t recommend using older versions. As you get used to work with FOG I highly recommend you upgrade your FOG server to the latest version (1.5.5 as of now) before you got it all perfectly setup…

  I appreciate the help. Luckily just trying the non re-sizable option worked 90% of the time. However, the issue with what appears to be a successful capture and deploy, but complete failure to boot after the deploy is still happening. I’m going to keep playing with that but I think the other issue might be unrelated. I think I’ll repost with more details and let this close out. Thanks for the help.

  @george1421 Yeah it looks like by adding this to the xml file cscript /B C:\windows\system32_slmgr.vbs /ato resolved it on my machines. Thanks for the help.

  @george1421 Thanks for the info. I will look into some more settings on machine but think you are right on older hardware. I will keep you informed on newer machine I do next week. Thanks

  @whity said in Hostname while joining to the domain: I am planning to have FOG client installed in the golden image. Is it mandatory to have the Sysprep done before capturing the image? Sysprep is a standard/typical step needed to make the reference image ready to install on multiple hardware. There are too schools of thought there. If you are using the idea that you will create one golden image per hardware model then you technically don’t “need” to run sysprep. But if you want to have one golden image for all hardware platform then you need to use sysprep to neutralize the golden image so that it can install on multiple hardware configurations. I can say I always run sysprep with my golden images. The decision to run sysprep or not is not related to FOG. FOG doesn’t care if the image has been syspreped or not. Also, my understanding is that the FOG client is needed in the golden image to aid the domain joining while deploying the image? Is that right? The fog client is needed if you want FOG to connect the target computer to AD, name the computer as defined in FOG, as well as if you want to run snapins or other fog managed services. In my case I don’t use FOG to connect the target computer to AD because I have a complex domain structure. I do use FOG’s post install scripts to calculate the proper AD location for the computer at deployment time and then update the unattend.xml file with the proper AD location and calculated computer name, then when Windows OOBE runs it looks at the unattend.xml file and connects the target computer to AD in the proper OU location. This is having windows setup connect the computer to AD and not FOG.

  I think I hunted down the culprit. I installed each piece of software one at a time and it looks like it is the new cloud version of Sophos that is giving me the error. Removed it from the image and everything seems to have went through without an issue.

  @Sebastian-Roth Where is the setting to set hostname even if a user is logged in? I was looking for it and stumbled upon my AD settings which is what I ended up fixing instead that fixed the issue.

  @Quazz said in Can't deploy latest win10x64uefi with 1.5.5: Wow, you’re so fast with answers! I really appreciate that! As I’ve said in the firs post, I’m using Hyper-v second generation VM based on UEFI. AAAAND! It seems that I’ve got some progress(really hope so). What i’ve done: Downloaded latest binary zip of rEFInd: https://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/0.11.4/refind-bin-0.11.4.zip/download extracted /refind/refind_x64.efi ; drivers_x64 from this folder Renamed refind_x64.efi to refind.efi, renamed drivers_x64/ntfs_x64.efi to drivers/ntfs.efi, renamed /drivers_x64 to /drivers. Chmod 644 chown fog:www-data to this files|folders, moved them to /var/www/fog/service/ipxe, removed comment symbol from this line: #scan_driver_dirs EFI/tools/drivers,drivers in /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/refind.conf. And I’ve just deployed my image with only one error at the end: “failed initialization of the interactive login process” or something like this, it’s translated from Russian.

  i’d split this up - use GPO or at minimum registry to achieve this then snapin to push out relevant xml start menu layout Registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer] - 64bit location “LockedStartLayout”=dword:00000001 “StartLayoutFile”="C:\PATH\TO\START\MENU\LAYOUT\.xml you can partially lockdown start menu aswell so you give users a standard put they can pin their own stuff too (not allowed to edit what you’ve set) the snapin could just handle which start menu they get i.e. Admin-> this startmenu.xml IT-> this startmenu.xml just when they reach the location set in registry name it the same so like: IT-Startmenu.xml copies locally to startmenu.xml Admin-Startmenu.xml copies locally to startmenu.xml Hope this makes sense

  @cristianvalente said in ADK provisioning package settings won't apply after an PXE Boot: Is somebody familiar with ADK and PXE? Yes and they are not related. Provisioning packages are deployed from inside the OS. FOG doesn’t now or care about windows applications. Are you trying to deploy a provisioning package as a fog snapin?
