      potentially this means for rename, ad, snapins you wouldn’t need to use fog client… although fog client would be there as a backup if anything failed and i would always recommend still utilizing the FOG Client especially the new one when it comes out, you’d be silly not to!!!

        Hi Lee,
        Can I add in this way the unattend.xml file to the postscripts? If yes, how?
        Thanks

          You can use these postscripts to alter your unattend file directly.

          What you need to do is know what line needs to be changed to what and make the post scripts mount the partition containing the unattend file and make the adjustments as needed.

            I thought i would share my own Postdownloadscript. i have a tendency to forget to remove the fog.log file from an image before i upload it, so i made a script to delete it.
            [CODE]#!/bin/bash
            #deletes fog.log for Windows 7, 8, or 8.1
            #Greg Grammon (Junkhacker)

            #funcs.sh allows us to use the functions that are used in the rest of
            #fog i.e. “dots” and use the vars already in place i.e. “$part” and “$osid”
            . /usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.sh;
            if [ “$osid” == “5” ] || [ “$osid” == “6” ] || [ “$osid” == “7” ]; then
            mkdir /ntfs 2>/dev/null
            dots “Mounting Windows File System”;
            mount.ntfs-3g $part /ntfs 2>/tmp/mntfail
            mntRet=“$?”;
            if [ ! “$mntRet” = “0” ]; then
            echo “Failed”;
            echo “”;
            echo -n " * ";
            cat /tmp/mntfail
            echo “”;
            sleep 2;
            else
            echo “Done.”;
            rm /ntfs/fog.log 2>/dev/null
            echo “”;
            echo “fog.log deleted”;
            umount /ntfs
            sleep 5;
            fi
            fi[/CODE]

              This is extremely interesting! Can you explain where in the download process the fog.postdownload script is triggered?
              I have created those three scripts but I cannot notice anything happening when i run a normal download to a pc but the download process keep looping! it only stops when I remove the script files from the folder…

                fog.postdownload is triggered/executed by fog.download after the pc has pulled down the image

                  your fog.postdownload is missing: #!/bin/sh

                  also you’ve changed path in fog.drivers to /images (sensible option using existing fileshare!)

                  but your fog.postdownload is still trying to mount /fog so you can hash out/remove that, i can’t remember without checking but /images is still mounted so don’t even need “remount” it.

                      remove/hash these lines:

                      mkdir /fog &>/dev/null
                      mount -o nolock,proto=tcp $storageip:/fog/ /fog
                      dots “Mounting Device”;

                        yeah, I was using the already mounted images folder for my drivers. I see now that those other lines are not in use either, thanks

                          I’m attempting to use this in our image deployment to push drivers and am having some trouble that is hopefully not difficult to overcome, I’m just not real script savvy. 😞 I have placed my drivers in the /images/Drivers folder and my fog.postdownload is as follows:

                          
                          #!/bin/sh
                          if [ $osid == "5" -o $osid == "6" -o $osid == "7" ]; then #only handling Win7/8/8.1
                              clearScreen;
                              mkdir /ntfs &>/dev/null
                              ntfs-3g -o force,rw $part /ntfs
                              # mkdir /fog &>/dev/null
                              # mount -o nolock,proto=tcp $storageip:/fog/ /fog 
                              # dots "Mounting Device";
                              if [ "$?" = "0" ]; then
                                  echo "Done";
                                  . ${postdownpath}fog.drivers 
                                # . ${postdownpath}fog.ad 
                                # . ${postdownpath}fog.snapins
                                  umount /ntfs; # unmount when all is done :-)
                              else
                                  echo "Failed To Mount Device";
                                  sleep 30;
                              fi
                          fi
                          

                          The computer responds with :

                          ntfs-3g: No mountpoint is specified

                          gives lots of usage instructions and options then

                          Failed to mount device

                          then restarts after about 30 seconds.

                          My fog.drivers file is as follows:

                          #!/bin/sh

                            Hi Gregg,

                            What version of fog are you using?

                                @gwhitfield as you’re using /images as your driver location you do not need to mount a share as it’s already mounted, so /fog mount is irrelevant to you. as you’re only doing one arch or having both drivers on the image, i’m assuming as you commented it out, make sure your folder layout for drivers matches this for example a Windows 7 build OptiPlex 7010 would be:
                                “/images/Drivers/Win7/OptiPlex 7010” and all your drivers for the 7010 would be within that folder

                                Try these and let me know how you get on 🙂

                                  @Lee-Rowlett Seems like I’m very close. The image task completes and I get the following just before the machine restarts. Unfortunately no drivers are copied so the image fails to bootup since there’s no drivers in it:

                                          @Lee-Rowlett Success!! Evidently my fog.postdownload and fog.drivers files got corrupted by editing in Notepad. Thank you for sending me a clean version! Working like a champ. Also for purpose of posterity or future users, the name of the folder for each individual hardware type needs to exactly match the spelling and case of the “System Product” field in the “Inventory” for that machine (or type of machine):

                                            I gotten this to make the edits to the unattend.xml but it still doesnt join the domain. Do you have a Windows10 Unattend.xml that i can compare where I went wrong?
