  Managed to get it to work however got stuck on another issue. After deployment I am encountering another issue after joining the computer to domain windows update is coming up blank and when clicking on start button and start typing nothing comes up (using the built in administrator everything works fine) On the legacy image I managed to fix it by using the setupcomplete.cmd (%WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd) however this being a Dell laptop with OEM license it seems that this does not work REM "C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd is executed as final step of coming out of Sysprep under SYSTEM account" REM "Clean up problems caused by using COPYPROFILE=TRUE" rd /s /q "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache" rd /s /q "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache" del /f /q /a:sh "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCacheLock.dat" rd /s /q "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache" rd /s /q "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache" del /f /q /a:sh "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCacheLock.dat" sc config FOGService start= auto shutdown -t 0 -r```

  After testing with the FOG client on my reference/golden image I found my issue which may help. I would task my client PC to be added to AD when the Auto Delayed service starts. Well, when a computer is being restored with the Windows 10 image it will start the services. Since it is starting the services it is trying to join the domain while the system is being sysprepped. This caused Windows to come up with an error to install or boot and various other errors. After the service was stopped in the reference/golden image then restoring had no issues. I manually have to enable the service and start it as well. The big issue turned into a okay fix.

  @Sebastian-Roth Yeah, I did think it odd that you didn’t put it somewhere on github along with the rest of the code. Anyway, I’ll use that for now. Thanks!

  @Daryl-Lee Do you see the “Unable to parse data” error over and over or is it working properly sometimes? I ask because the character it complains about, <, is the start of a HTML tag. I suppose the webserver answers with a HTTP error page instead of returning proper JSON data… Take a look at the apache logs (see my signature) and try to match client requests with logging on the client and your server. Does the web UI still work properly?

  @adukes40 said in UEFI boot Instead of Bios boot: @george1421 you doing that for every single uefi machine, or just the problem child’s? We do it for every machine that won’t init using iPXE in uefi mode. Which is only the o7010 so far. We also don’t pxe boot through fog to the hard drive. This is to avoid accidental reimaging systems. We always require a tech to sit in front of the system they are imaging and use the F12 boot menu to select pxe boot. Once a tech accidentally remotely deployed an image to the controllers laptop, that was enough motivation to change our workflow.

  @exus69 While George is pretty much right with what he said I might add that you could create individual image definitions for those partitions you want to deploy and push those out in three deploy tasks. I know this doesn’t sound nice but I’d say it’s one route to go. Beside that we don’t have a plan to add this feature as of now. While I think we had one or the other request about this it doesn’t seem to be used by very many people and as the dev team is very short at the moment I can’t see us adding this any time soon. But that doesn’t mean if won’t happen. If you are keen and willing to join in we might consider pushing this forward. FOG is open source and it needs people to work on it. We are more than happy to help and guide people. So it’s not, here is the code, do it all on your own.

  Hi all, I’ve not been able to secure a time block to test and provide results/follow up, however I’m confident the sysprep issue was fully related to the fact that I wasn’t using a proper image source. This issue can be marked resolved. I’ll test this when time allows, I expect I’ll need to work on the unattend script as well - all in due time. Can’t thank you all enough for providing guidance, it’s truly appreciated. Thanks again, Brian

  Sorry I forgot to respond to this thread, thanks for your responses @Sebastian-Roth. I ended up solving this particular issue by simply integrating credentials that PDQ recognizes into the powershell script, it works smoothly every time and shouldn’t present much of a security concern because the creds are only allowed to kick of a PDQ deployment and nothing else.

  @butch2861 said in Windows 1809 Ent. Error after Upload to FOG: @Sebastian-Roth After you run sysprep on a pc and upload the Image to the Fog Server the next thing that happens is the pc reboots and then the Fog Server loads the image just uploaded BACK to the pc you uploaded it from; almost like testing the uploaded image to the pc it came from as a test that it works. Hi there :) I was wondering, does the pc with the “golden” image restart and install correctly if you dont capture and deploy it? Cause if it doesn’t that might mean that FOG is not involved in the problem at all - the error message I have had as well at some points, not sure what caused them then.

  I"m going to guess these aren’t brand spanking new systems, but instead are refurbs. Same specs eh? What about firmware/BIOS and their configuration? Considering their age I wouldn’t rule out HW failure. Memory check? I haven’t had it happen in awhile but I would zero the drives for good measure.

  @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.
