      windows should be picking up the name from its hostname as defined in FOG. (if you have the feature enabled)

      if you want to change the name, change it in FOG and the pc will auto change its name.

      1. or you can disable this auto-naming feature, and login to the pc and change it that way. without it reverting back to what it is named in FOG

        I found a copy of SAD2-120520 on my computer. It can be downloaded from here - [url]https://www.box.com/s/kto1xfr0ktyr0s4l334z[/url]

          hi,

          i took 10-15minutes to got away from this prompt (see attached file) what could be the reason?

          1. fogserver is a virtual machine from vpshere connected to 1gb switch port
          2. fog client is a phyiscal machine connected to 1gb switch port

          Though my imaging is sucessful, everything is fine except that i am being stucked on that mtftp connection…

          Thanks

            Do you have a second TFTP server on your network? I’ve never seen an MTFTP before.

                  this solution worked for me!

                  Have anyone of you included Gparted for FOG server? Thanks

                    I am planning on attempting this. I have never did anything like this. Do I need a dedicated server for Fog? or can I put it on our corporate server?

                      If your corporate server runs Ubuntu, you could install it there, but depending on what services that server provides, FOG may reduce performance of the machine during imaging operations, since the HD and NIC become so busy moving huge amounts of data.

                        Also, realistically, you could just install Ubuntu on an older desktop PC and use that as your FOG server. You don’t necessarily need server grade hardware.

                          Hello,

                          you have a nice tutorial here…thx for that. Few things…you recommending use of fogprep, but after that you use generalize on sysprep which should by the same thing base on fog wiki([url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/What_do_I_have_to_do_to_an_image_before_uploading%3F[/url]).
                          Second, I was deployed image with SAD rutine and everithing finish, but strange thing occur, after windows start, fogsystray hangs a and for example when I call itel graphic setting tool it crash. Same with windows media center for example. In image this problems not happens. Any ideas? anybody?

                            I believe there is a way within the DPinstall script to create the necessary RemoveD.cmd for the cleanup.

                            I will try including these lines just before the final shutdown (where FOG service is restarted):

                            [CODE]ECHO @ECHO OFF > %SystemDrive%\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd
                            ECHO rd /s/q %SystemDrive%\D >> %SystemDrive%\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd
                            ECHO DEL /F /S /Q /A “%SystemDrive%\Drivers\SAD2-111118” >> %SystemDrive%\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd
                            ECHO rd /s/q %SystemDrive%\Drivers\SAD2-111118 >> %SystemDrive%\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd
                            ECHO EXIT >> %SystemDrive%\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd[/CODE]

                            I changed 😄 to [FONT=Consolas]%SystemDrive% to make it more compatible with different boot configurations. [/FONT]

                              After a few trial runs, here is what I did:

                              Modify the sysprep.inf file (with setupmgr.exe) so that:
                              1 - Completely Unattended = NO
                              2 - Additional commands = startup.cmd (Add this command, this will create a CMDLINES.TXT file under \sysprep\i386$oem$

                              include in [I][B]\sysprep\i386$oem$[/B][/I] as [I][B]startup.cmd[/B][/I]:
                              [B]cd %SystemDrive%\Drivers\SAD[/B]
                              [B]call DP_Install_Tool.cmd[/B]

                              in [I][B]\Drivers\SAD[/B][/I], edit [B][I]DP_Install_Tool.CMD[/I][/B]:

                              just after these lines:
                              [B]popd[/B]
                              [B]endlocal[/B]

                              include:
                              [CODE]ECHO @ECHO OFF > %SystemDrive%\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd
                              ECHO reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v CMD0 /t REG_SZ /d “rd /s /q %SystemDrive%\Drivers” >> %SystemDrive%\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd
                              ECHO rd /s/q %SystemDrive%\D >> %SystemDrive%\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd
                              ECHO DEL /F /S /Q /A “%SystemDrive%\Drivers\SAD” >> %SystemDrive%\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd
                              ECHO rd /s/q %SystemDrive%\Drivers\SAD >> %SystemDrive%\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd
                              ECHO EXIT >> %SystemDrive%\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd

                              shutdown -r -c “Drivers Installed! Machine will now restart…”
                              call C:\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd
                              NET START “Fog Service”

                              [/CODE]

                              The RunOnce key added will delete the \Drivers\SAD directory on next reboot, since RemoveD.cmd can’t do it after erasing itself. But since the FOG service is restarted just after RemoveD.cmd, the FOG service will restart the computer (to rename it).

                              Tried many times and works like a charm!

                              Hope it helps!

                                small correction:

                                on:

                                [FONT=Consolas][CODE]ECHO reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v CMD0 /t REG_SZ /d “rd /s /q %SystemDrive%\Drivers” >> %SystemDrive%\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd[/CODE][/FONT]
                                [FONT=Consolas]should be: [/FONT]
                                [FONT=Consolas][CODE]ECHO reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v CMD0 /t REG_SZ /d “cmd /c rd /s /q %SystemDrive%\Drivers” >> %SystemDrive%\Drivers\RemoveD.cmd[/CODE][/FONT]

                                  After some more testing, I found out the REG line, after /d instead of:

                                  [FONT=Consolas]“cmd /c rd /s /q %SystemDrive%\Drivers”[/FONT]

                                  SHOULD be:

                                  [FONT=Consolas]“cmd /c “”“rd /s /q %SystemDrive%\Drivers””"[/FONT]

                                  [FONT=Consolas](Yes 3 quotes to escape a single quote). That works magic! [/FONT][FONT=Consolas] [/FONT]

                                    Are you able to add your own drivers to the list as well and do they have to be compressed?

                                        [quote=“andyroo54, post: 10394, member: 267”]Sorry I thought I replied to this.

                                        The problem appears to be with your unattend file. In particular something you have specified possibly in shell setup module. If you could upload the file we can have a look, you may need to zip the file first.[/quote]

                                        The image above is not showing, but the error message is:
                                        Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize] blah blah
                                        Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup

                                        The the VM says “fine, im gunna reboot and fix it.” but it just loops reboot with same errors.
                                        Im having this issue too.
                                        Ive read that it can be:

                                          ok the “fix” is to delete the entire key: Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup

                                          pretty crap fix. I hope to find the reason why this didnt work on a vanilla Windows 7 Pro SP1 OEM install on an ESXi VM machine.
                                          But if anyone can… it will be superman. or steve.
