@ITCC Someone much more cleverer than me (from ANME) has worked out how to fix it and it is due to sysprep sealed images rather than Fog persay as Tom suggested. the Fix is to add the following to your sysprep SetupComplete.cmd file

for /f "tokens=2 delims={}" %%a in ('bcdedit /enum {bootmgr} /v ^| find "identifier"') do set prep-bcdid={%%a} bcdedit -set {current} device partition=c: bcdedit -set {current} osdevice partition=c: bcdedit -set {memdiag} device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume1 bcdedit -set %prep-bcdid% device partition=c:

@ReinierG said in W10 Error when capturing image (ACPI Bios Error):

Hey,

I’m trying to capture an image on a Surface Go 2. The process starts off well, but when it reaches 6.79%, the speed drops significantly, and I encounter the following error message:

ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [\Tz.TZ00], ZE_NOT_FOUND (20230628/psargs-332) ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PC10.LPCB.ECO._Q14 due to previous error (AE_NOT_FOUND) (20230628/psargs-529)

What can I try to fix this issue? The machine hasn’t been sysprepped, but I also haven’t fully installed the OS yet, so that shouldn’t be necessary. The current installation is at the keyboard/language selection screen. Also stopping and resending the task did not fix this issue.

Thanks in advance!

I tried capturing the image on an HP ProBook G7, and it worked fine. Online, I found some information suggesting that this error might be related to a firmware issue. Could that be the case?

Pxe Menu Timeout

Hey @Tom-Elliott ,

No, the issue is not that we don’t see a menu. When we start netboot and the main FOG menu opens (where we can deploy an image and access other options), it automatically exits after 3-5 seconds and proceeds to rEFInd, which is not correct.

I allready see the setting, can i just set the timeout as high as i want without issue’s?

Hey @Tom-Elliott
I tried the powercfg command and that fixed the issue, i think the device was not shutdown fully, we got it working again.
Thanks!

I was unable to resolve this issue with pnputil using a cmd.exe script.

I noticed that the problem was also present on another FOG installation managed by other system administrators.

I assume (perhaps wrongly) that the problem is linked to an ANSI/UTF encoding issue. If someone using another language manages to run pnputil.exe in a cmd.exe script, report it here.

I was finally able to resolve this driver deployment issue using powershell. I’m leaving a sample code (install of a driver named usbblstr.inf) in case it helps someone.

New-Item -Path "c:\" -Name "drivers" -ItemType "directory" -Force Copy-Item -Path "usb-blaster" -Destination "C:\drivers" -Recurse Start-Process -FilePath "pnputil.exe" -ArgumentList "/add-driver C:\drivers\usb-blaster\usbblstr.inf /subdirs /install" -RedirectStandardOutput "$env:tmp\usb-blaster-install.txt" -RedirectStandardError "$env:tmp\usb-blaster-err.txt"

Sincerely,

Julien

@azm9s
In general, it didn’t work.
it doesn’t add it to the domain, that’s all.
Either I did something wrong.
or I have configured something wrong in the settings.

@jfernandz No, it’s not being implemented at all currently. If you want to take a stab at it, please feel free. I don’t know what it would entail and I am fairly confident no one else within the FOG Dev team is currently trying to implement such a feature.

joining pc to domain and logging into the domain account seems to have brought the settings.

When I configured the snapin with my example script that installs the FogApi Module and runs the universal command with the snapin setup with “powershell x64” like this

The snapin worked as expected and the host boots to pxe. I only tested this snapin method on a VM so far but I imagine it will work beyond that.

@Eliseu
this ip 192.168.0.17 is from the virtual machine that is trying to boot into the pxe, the ip 192.168.0.16 is the fog server

@JJ-Fullmer Thank you for the suggestion! I’m still new to creating GPO’s so I’ll have to figure out how to do that one. Doesn’t seem like it should be too hard. Thank you!

@mentaluproar sadly, due to the windows updates previously mentioned, which are actually fully enforced in the 2024-08 updates, a domain admin account is pretty much required to join the domain in an automated fashion. Microsoft gives some guidance on creating policies to allow a least privileged account but I haven’t been able to get that to work with fog. Granted, as long as your aren’t granting access to the fog gui to non privileged users, saving those creds in fog is safe and secured.
