Windows 11 problems when deploying

[infotech_22]

Hello guys,

I’m new here, started testing the FOG Project last week.
I have issues with Windows 11 image.

I prepare a VM with windows 11 image, install all needed softwares that we are using in our company, sysprep it with audit mode in order to skip all the OOBE, also I did it without an unattened.xml, since I think i don’t need it?

Now after I deploy it to test notebook, everything is okay, but in few hours it has a problem when it wants to boot up, “windows could not complete the installation”

I read trough some comments about FOGService, It’s on default behaviour “Automatic(delayed start)”

Any toughts?

@infotech_22 Generally speaking, if you do setupcomplete.com, you should completely disable the FOGService as re-enable it as the final step of the setupcomplete.com script.

The reason:

FOGService will attempt to start up and perform its actions alongside anything else that’s occurring. Generally, when the system is setup and running just fine, things are okay because there’s no interactions, but when you pair it with the OOBE configuration stuff, where it could be changing ini’s and Registry thigns, then the FOG Client is saying “Hey restart to change the name and join the domain” or “Hey restart because I completed installing this Snapin” or whatever else may be going on, it can leave your machine in an unknown and cause issues.

This isn’t something we’re able to fix in a codified manner unfortunately and we have given instructions many times to allow FOG Client while in OOBE state.

I don’t know if this is in the more modern Documentation, but it is in the original documentation as well.
