    Step one is needed for your own needs to update your FOGCrypt information and to gain some more capabilities. It’s not really necessary to do that step.

    Step two is really only needed on older versions of FOG, from 0.29 I believe. FOGPrep is not really needed on any system anymore. That said, It’s already telling you that you would need to use it on Windows 7, so if you’re not using Windows 7, I think it kind of explains itself.

    The relevant parts for you needs, if you’re already aware of how to sysprep your system, is really getting the driverpacks loaded and the SAD2 tools itself.

    Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

        You do not need to do step 2.

              I downloaded the sad tool from this post [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/windows-7-deployment-fog-sad2-driver-tool.380/[/url]

              then I follow the instructions…

              I now have Drivers folder on C:\

              I put my DriverPacks

              my question is…

              Do i have to RUN [B]DP_Install_Tool? [/B]or I just simply put my driverpacks on the corresponding folder (x86/x64) ?

              Thanks again

                  Do i have to RUN [B]DP_Install_Tool before imaging, or RUN IT AFTER imaging on the destination/imaged PC/Host? [/B]

                    Be careful with pre-installing drivers. You can bloat the registry and break the image if you pre-install too many.

                      so the better way is… put the drivers on the folder, then clone/image it… then on run the SADtool on the cloned/destination host?

                      is that correct ?

                        A simple method is to create a folder in “c:\windows\inf” . I use “c:\windows\inf\xinf”.

                        Because Windows 7 recursively searches folders for drivers, and since Windows 7 searches “c:\windows\inf” by default, there is no configuration required other than to drop each extracted driver into its own folder inside “c:\windows\inf\xinf”.

                        Be aware, that some drivers are coded for both x86 and x64. Some will load x64 when x86 is required or vice versa, causing a failure of varying degree.

                        Some drivers for some versions of hardware will load the wrong version and brick the system. I’m looking at you Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller (series 7 vs series 8).

                        I’ve dropped x86 and x64 drivers that play nice together into my xinf folder. I then use a vb script called from sysprep that detects specific needs for specific make/models that we have in service, that then performs installations and configurations, all the while using auto-logon.

                        Importantly, I disable and set to manual, the FOG Service before I close an image with sysprep. Reactivating the FOG service is the last thing my script does because the FOG Service will ungracefully interrupt any running scripts and force a restart when an image is deployed with naming and domain-joining enabled.
