@Wayne-Workman This fixed my original issue as well. Thanks for the help!

[Wayne Workman]

TO clarify, are you guys putting this in setupcomplete.cmd or setupcomplete.bat ?

I’ve not done this myself yet, so I’m just going off of what you all say.

[zpoling]

@Wayne-Workman I had to look up where to put the script in the first place, and was instructed to use SetupComplete.cmd; that is what worked for me.

@zpoling Care to provide a screen shot or some steps?

[michael_f]

@Wayne-Workman setupcomlete.cmd has to be placed under C:\Windows\Setup\scripts in the master system.
As the name indicates, the script is called by windows just after setup has finished.

Btw. l set the Fog service to delayed start, ie I put
sc config FOGService start= delayed-auto
into the script.
I don’t know, if this is really necessary with the new fogclient, but it doesn’t harm.
Reason for this is i’ve got some computers which require delayed start with the legacy client (afair network doesn’t come up fast enough)

[Wayne Workman]

@michael_f I’ve not heard of the issue with the delayed start for the new client.

And I’m well aware of the timing issues the Legacy Client had - I had to delay it here at my work too.

I’ll get the things you’ve stated into the wiki.

@Wayne-Workman Good to know that the new client works smoother.
I just upgraded to trunk a few days ago and didn’t have the time to test yet.
