    Nice Guide!
    It is possible to use netdom to join domain in win7 also, so any other good reason to install the fog service, than the join domain functionality? To use netdom you have to install the windows 7 admin tool, but it is pretty simple to install.

    Best Regards

      Fog service also pushes out software packages you can customize and build yourself. Can auto-shut down / log off / modify clients remotely (big help).

      If you don’t want to use Active Directory for all your software pushing and updates it’s a great work-around solution.

        As SSX says, For me one of the best features of FOG is to deploy programs automatically. It’s one thing to save two hours installing windows 7, but it’s another game all together installing programs automatically after imagine. Saves time like you wouldn’t believe.

                Nice feature In other words, how does the actual deploy method work?

                Policy ? or does the package dploy with pxe boot?
                I am whery curious about the agent, and the resources it uses on our clients.
                The main reason that i have not considered the agent is that we have bad experience with this sort of agents, we where running Novel Zenworks before fog, and the agent from novel kille about 50% of our computers esepessially those with 1 gb ram or less.

                Best Regards

                  Here you go, I haven’t changed much, (Just to Stop/start FOG service, and clean a few things up) you can compare the differences yourself (if you use it, just remember to change it back to a .cmd file, it won’t let me upload .cmd files):

                      Andyroo54 would you be kind enough to go back to the original post in the thread and add the DP_Install_Tool.txt to the first entry? This will keep the thread uniform and simple to manage.

                      Also… if you could please upload an example of your .xml answer file for the community. Just a thought 😃

                      p.s. i’m working on a tutorial for XP as well for all those legacy users holding out

                          Hi Darren,

                          I’d suggest testing the DPinstall tool on a PC that’s just been loaded with win 7 fresh, and running it manually. Get the version I specify in the guide I think it’s 1.111118, and run it. I’ve never had the problem where the drivers won’t install, so perhaps its a policy setting you’ve changed or something else, hence why you should try it on a totally fresh install of win 7.

                                  Make sure you set your virtual machines’s HDD to IDE and not SCSI, for some reason FOG won’t pick up SCSI. Other than that, you might have more luck starting a thread in the help section.

                                    Is it possible to use VMPlayer instead of workstation for this? Thanks in advance!

                                      I don’t believe so. Player only plays existing VM’s, you need to build one from scratch.

                                      Look into Virtual Box as a free alternative - [url]https://www.virtualbox.org/[/url]

                                        this is what I did;
                                        I created a RunOnce registry input which will call the DP_install the first time that windows boots.
                                        Example: DrvIns.reg
                                        C:\Drivers\SAD2-111118\DP_Install_Tool.i have uploaded the file, please remember to rename it to drvins.reg
                                        thx
