Windows 10 1803 - sysprep problem

Florent · May 18, 2018, 4:19 AM

Hi,
I have problem to set computer name with sysprep with Windows 10 1803 (before with Windows 10 1709 it worked).
Windows generate random name WIN-xxxx insteasd of my name what i set in my sysprep response file XML

<ComputerName>UCXXXX</ComputerName>

I don’t understand because domain joined works

With the log of sysprep i juste see this but no info to resolve this :

2018-05-17 17:27:56, Info       [0x060258] IBS    GenerateName: Failed to read the Key UserData\FullName\Value from Blackboard defaulting to WIN

Have you succeeded to sysprep new Windows 10 1803 with personnalize computer name ?
If yes how you do this ?

Regards.

Resolve with this :

Web FOG Settings :
-FOG Client - Hostname Changer was enabled : Now DISABLED
-General Settings / Change Hostname early was enabled : Now DISABLED

After disable this two settings it’s ok …

Problem solved.

I haven’t started developing our 1803 image yet. But I am very interested in this problem since we use the unattend.xml file to set the computer name and not the fog service.

If I have time I’ll load the 1803 iso into MDT and spin up a new (test) image to see if I can duplicate your findings.

Florent · May 18, 2018, 1:15 PM

Ok.
In my case we do not use MDT.
Just personnalize Windows 10 image , sysprep, and upload on FOG.
In our FOG post install script this modify the unattend.xml to set computer name in reference with FOG before windows 10 boot.

Until now for Windows 7, Windows 10 1709 this work fine.

george1421 · May 18, 2018, 1:15 PM

@florent I understand about you can’t use MDT. What I was suggesting is that I can create a deployable Win10 1803 image quickly.

I have the golden image (FAT Win Image) built already and the name is correct as set by MDT. Now I need to capture and deploy with fog to see if the host is named correctly after FOG imaging.

george1421 · May 18, 2018, 3:44 PM

The Win10 1803 image deployed correctly and the name was named correctly without the FOG service being installed on the target system.

I can not duplicate your error. You might want to confirm that your unattend.xml file is

Installed in the correct location
Your script that renames the system is functioning as expected

Florent · May 18, 2018, 7:28 PM

@george1421
Thanks for your test.

1- My xml is ok in C:\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml and C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.xml

2- This is not script that rename the computer. This is sysprep.
After doing modificiations on my windows image i launch sysprep like this :

sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.xml

And after cloning the computer i set correct name in the xml (with sed function of linux)

See my sysprep.xml after cloning (computer have name WIN-XXXX instead of UC0001):

@florent OK the first issue is that you have 2 unattend.xml file. Only put it in C:\Windows\Panther. That is the first place OOBE looks for the unattend file.

Your sed script should update the one in c:\windows\panther too.

and just for reference this is what my sysprep command looks like:

c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:C:\Windows\Panther\Unattend.xml

For clarity this is my unattend.xml file. It really hasn’t changed much since the Win7 deployments.

@george1421 Thanks.
Next week i go try with same command line and xml of you.
I’m just going to delete rubric that don’t need and adapt my sed

Florent · May 23, 2018, 2:45 PM

@george1421 Thanks it’s work with your sysprep.
Maybe options what i use are depreciate with W10 1803.

I go to create new sysprep from ADK 1803

george1421 · May 23, 2018, 2:58 PM

@florent Best of luck on creating a new unattend.xml file.

Florent · Jul 18, 2018, 3:59 PM

Resolve with this :

Web FOG Settings :
-FOG Client - Hostname Changer was enabled : Now DISABLED
-General Settings / Change Hostname early was enabled : Now DISABLED

After disable this two settings it’s ok …

Problem solved.
