Golden image problem

baovipboy156

Dear all,

I using fog 1.5.10 on Ubuntu 22.04, I created a golden image followed these step:

install a fresh window 10 using MDT/WDS
update window, update all application,…etc
sysprep using unattend file
capture image using fog

summary the problem:

The first boot up after deployment, it take over 30mins to get to welcome screen.
after joined domain, the bootup and shutdown process take time sightly slower a PC deployed with MDT/WDS
- MDT/WDS ~30 second for it boot up to welcome screen
- fog deployed PC take ~1 for boot up to welcome screen
The disk usage 100 (check by open task manager):
- MDT/WDS take ~2 mins from 100% disk to 0%
- fog take ~5 mins from 100% disk to 0%
  I ran all the method of disk defrag, optimize, disk clean up, check file system, dism… , disable unnessary startup service, ran window update, updated all hardware driver
  here is my unattend.xml

@baovipboy156 said in Golden image problem:

This is the process we’ve used for years. I think we were at about 12 minutes from bare metal to first login. So it shouldn’t take 30 that’s abnormal.

Here is a copy of my sanitized unattend.xml file: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11920/windows-10-1803-sysprep-problem/6

Just glancing through yours it looks complete but I didn’t go over every line,

@george1421
My golden image include these software:
chrome, firefox, egde, acrobat reader, skype, thunder bird, trellix endpoint security, osquery.

I don’t know if i doing something wrong.

Thank for your unattend file, i will try sysprep again with your, hope it work
