@Wayne-Workman Good to know that the new client works smoother.
I just upgraded to trunk a few days ago and didn’t have the time to test yet.

Hi there Goempie!

i’m on my last day in my internship.
And i must say… i get a superduper good tutorial what i followed.
Its only for W7 (can work for w10 – i don’t know).

Implementing the FOG Cloning Solution with
Universal Windows 7 Images

Good luck!

Ow ya
I tried a couple of things for injecting the drivers.
One is putting them in the windows/inf – that works great after sysprep.
Or you can use Stand Alone Driver Utility (SAD3) !

@Jbob Luckily (not best practice) 95% of our PC’s use the legacy client as part of our old images (recently moved to trunk). We have a handful of test machines that the new client is on for building new images. We also tested that if you don’t uncheck the option to put fog.log at the root of the 😄 drive, everything is ok. Thanks for your help!

I use snappy driver installer and I drop chipset + ethernet drivers in a driverpack folder inside of windows/inf and it works fine. After setup it launches SDI over network and installs the rest of the drivers.

There’s other reasons why sysprep could fail, such as Windows Media Player service (or whatever it’s called) running or your windows grace period expiring.

Got it thanks. Trying to trouble shoot AD not working. We never had a AD before, we were eDir. The machines manually join or will join with power shell. Thanks. so now I know when it renames it should join. Will help with my trouble shooting.

Thank you so much for all your assistance!!!
FOG is fully functional again.

You guys are the best!!!

Did you ever try [SHIFT] + [SHUTDOWN] ?

@Tom-Elliott Just tested it and its working fine again now. Thanks!

@cojohnson You have a very unique troubleshooting style.

@Tom-Elliott @ChrisRaff That usually depends on the contents of the unattend file (assuming one is being used). Using the Fog client for domain joins would probably resolve this issue, assuming there is a group policy in place to disable the firewall or modify settings so that your remote management software would be able to connect.

Thanks Tom,

I don’t find any product key staying in my unattend.xml file (the one in c:\windows\system32\sysprep)

Do you think the product key used for activating the Windows image can be the problem?

@Wayne-Workman Upgrade worked perfectly. Thanks again for your help. You can mark as solved.

Chris

@Tom-Elliott alright, cool.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I seem to remember Snapins before needing to be wrapped with SFXMaker and such for all things. Is that still the case, or can I now just upload a script and be done with it?

UPDATE

Never mind, uploaded a bat file and it ran flawlessly. Thanks for the help, now my thin imaging with PDQ to throw apps on afterwards is working fantastically across all sites!

I also wouldn’t call a RAW image a success. It’s more of a stalemate.

Thank you for the help, glad its not a FOG Issue. Will look into getting the dead hard drive replaced.

@Junkhacker
Well this was the interesting bit, it was all physical, the MACs imaged up were those of the physical adapters, but Hyper-v was “moving” the physical MACs to it’s internal network cards, and then of course imaging the software MACs up. Interesting, a pain but quite interesting.

As I said everything works great! Thank you again for great support!

@Tom-Elliott Version 7007

If i save the username as test\test it works on the first pass. I am not sure if this changes anything but i was setting the user/password at the global level. and the group level I never set it at the host level. I would also get it to work once then image the system and after the image it would begin failing.
