        [quote=“MikeyMike, post: 1275, member: 493”]I dont see any issues with Windows 7 64 bit. I have been using it since Jan 2010 with Fog .30 and now .32. I work with over 300 Windows 7 64 bit computers and I have never used sysprep. I dont have any issues with kms either I just make sure my image doesnt join the domain until after deployment.[/quote]

        So I have to ask, if you’ve never used sysprep, how do you image the computers with a standard image (software/updates etc) without the image having the same name for everything?

            pluneau, have you tried upgrading the kernel on FOG to 3.2.4?

                1. 3.2.4 can be downloaded from here, [url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/Kernels/Kernel-3.2.4.core/Kernel-3.2.4.core/download[/url]

                2. Then you need to backup bzImage in /tftpboot/fog/kernel. so I renamed mine bzImage.backup (If this doesn’t work, either log into the computer under the FOG account, or chmod the folder)

                3. When you copy the 3.2.4 kernel to this location rename it to bzImage (note that the case is important) and you should be all set.

                      the 3.2.4 kernel should support the EXT4 filesystem. All the other changes for version .33 of FOG are listed in the first post of this thread.

                          Upgraded to 3.2.4 kernel and can in fact image my linux box with ext4 now, though because it is multiple partitions, it takes a long time to do it.

                          Looking fwd to .33 to work/play with!

                            Any updates to the release of 0.33? After evaluating 0.32 at my company and getting extremely favorable results, I’m waiting to take what I’ve learned from 0.32 and apply to 0.33 and invest in a major multisite system imagin rollout.

                            Will the “patch” for multisite storage nodes across WAN links be included with 0.33. That is a “MUST HAVE” feature. A colleague and I have worked the existing software to allow TFTP/PXE in multiple sites and leverage Windows DFS to replicate the images.

                            Keep up the outstanding work.

                              I have just changed jobs. In my old job I deployed 300 desktops using FOG. My new job has 600 desktops and the company uses Symantec Alitiris. Can I have FOG back please? FOG just needs a way to deploy individual packages via the fog service and it will be complete

                                Any news on a release on .33, I am looking to upgrade from .28 but I don’t want to clean install to .32 and then have to upgrade to .33. I would much rather just go straight to .33

                                        Sorry about the delayed reply. I do not join the domain on my image at any time until after deployment. That way it gets a new unique machine SID on joining. Ive not had any issues with group policy this way and hence havent bothered with sysprep.

                                          If you ever use a KMS server on those machines you will still have problems. I was doing it the same way, and found out the GUID is likely the same on all the machines so they will not authenticate to the KMS server.

                                          Sysprep is a MUST on windows 7 domain machines.

                                            Incorrect. I use KMS both for Windows 7 and Office 2010 and I do not have any problems with it. My network is over 250 machines from HP, Dell, Acer and Ipex. I have been using Fog and Windows 7 since January 2011 using 4 different types of base images and have not yet used sysprep. After connecting to domain I run a batch file that points the client to the kms server and authenticates and it works fine.

                                            Sysprep is definately not a must on windows 7 domain machines as long as you have never connected the image to the domain.
