Reboot made by wmiprvse.exe during first boot after sysprep

[Wayne Workman]

@jmeyer said:

shutdown -r -t 30

that part causes a reboot… just clarifying… didn’t know if you knew or not.

[jmeyer]

Reboot appears during

timeout /t 60 /nobreak 

[Wayne Workman]

Can you remove the shutdown -r -t 30 and just see what happens?

[jmeyer]

I did but the script never reach this line as it’s forced to stop for the reboot during the 60 seconds of the timeout command.

I know you’ll look for basic reason but I have tested so many things that I’m out of idea.

[Wayne Workman]

Are there alternatives for wmiprvse.exe ?

[jmeyer]

What do you mean ?

[Wayne Workman]

@jmeyer said:

During the script process, i have a reboot requested by wmiprvse.exe (WMI Provider Host).
This happen during the 60s, or during driver installation when i remove the 60s delay.

You said you think this is what’s causing your reboot. I was wondering if there were any alternatives that may give you less trouble.

[jmeyer]

Since I don’t know what trigger this reboot, I don’t even know where to start to dodge this reboot.
I don’t know if there is other way to run a script after a sysprep.
I only know with the setupcomplete.cmd or adding call of commands in the unattend.xml.

[jmeyer]

Is the fog client use this exe to reboot the computer ?

Thomas use kinda the same script without problem but disable the fog service and that the only thing that I see that could explain a reboot.
Yet, i don’t see what a simple “pause” can change from a “timeout” to avoid this reboot.

I’ll test again with fog service disabled or the client remove to find if it comes from the fog client.
I can also try with a fresh OS install in case Windows Update did something.

[Wayne Workman]

@jmeyer What were your findings?

[jmeyer]

I have called for help from a old fellow worker.
He as said to try to replace the “timeout” command by a “ping 127.0.0.1”.
But, I think i have find a way to avoid this reboot during the script process.
I call my script in the unattend.xml like this “cmd /c start /wait Myscript.cmd”.
I wasn’t on site and I wanted to test it in the same condition (with the same fog server) in case it’s the fog client that makes this unwanted reboot (it’s Tom Elliott only idea to my problem).
I run few last test today and i keep you update.

[jmeyer]

My script launch edition didn’t solved the problem.
I try again with fog service disabled.

I realize this is a few months old thread, jmeyer did you ever get it to work?

I am presently trying pretty much the same.

Did you ever succeed?

[jmeyer]

@FlowLive
It was fog client that was calling the reboot.
I just disable it before sysprep and enable it in script.

I set most of it in a script in a smb share called by SetupComplete.cmd to not have to edit my image but be able to enhance it.
It works great and I use this script to do the most of task needed after deploy : drivers, windows activation and few basic software installation.
I even tested and validated it under Windows 10 few days ago.

Days of work that finally pay back.

Hi @jmeyer,

I have a question, I am trying this script now, the problem I have is your AfterDeploy.cmd you have set a start /wait SDI_auto.bat but since that closes after it successfully called the .exe the script goes on without having a chance to finish SDI install of drivers…

Are you sure this is how you have it?

I am also getting a prompt for firewall access to let SDI through on launch of the .exe, have you had that happen?

I am also running those script from \fogserver\share…

I see you had a previous version that called the .exe directly which from my understanding would have actually /wait succesfully until completion, or did you alter the SDI_auto.bat somehow to have another /wait in there is at all possible?

I see that my service is FOGService and not FOG Service, had to change that…

Thanks! Love your script!

[jmeyer]

@FlowLive
I think you are right about the start /wait of the cmd.
But I have this on the .bat of SDI :

 start /wait "Snappy Driver Installer" /d"%~dp0" "%~dp0%SDIEXE%" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

The web access of SDI is to check driver packages update.
Fog service name depend of the version you use on the OS of the image you are going to make.

Thanks jmeyer this works great!
