Fog not auto joining to the domain requires additional restart to join-Windows 10

[LJedi]

@Joe-Schmitt For my image, I just install the Fog client. I do not do anything special with it before sysprep.

And that’s why it’s not working. You need to follow the wiki instructions, they are here:

@Wayne-Workman Ah. Did not know I had to do that first. Thank you for your help.

@x23piracy while you can do that, it is risky and unadvised. You’re basically creating a race condition and just hoping it works out. I recommend following the written wiki article for how to configure the client and sysprep. We recommend setupcomplete.cmd as that is the proper and safest way to do so.

Hi,

well i know this but my SetupComplete.cmd never worked, i placed it in C:\Windows\Setup\scripts\ and i have the following in it:

del C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\unattend.xml
sc config FOGService start= auto
net start FOGService

I am using Windows 10 Pro, Source iso is from “Media Creation Tool”.
If someone could tell why this is not working i could walk away from the knife edge i am using.

For my luck the normal workstations work with my method but when i try to redeploy to the vm i am using to prepare the image again and again i get the error message joe was talking about.

Is SetupComplete.cmd only working for Enterprise Win 10? I cannot imagine why else it’s not working for me. hmm…

Does your setup complete contain a reboot command?

shutdown /r /f /t 0 

[x23piracy]

@Greg-Plamondon not it does not i pasted my complete SetupComplete.cmd in my post above, that is needed? What should this change? Lets say i place that reboot as last line, the unattend.xml should be deleted anyway, also the service auto should work but does not.

I don’t unterstand why a reboot line should let the 3 lines above work? confusing.
The Script is not triggered, if so u should not find the unattend.xml in sysprep folder anymore and the service should be set to auto but it’s still disabled, so the only reason could be that setupcomplete.cmd is not executed, the question is why?

Is anyone using SetupComplete.cmd with a Windows 10 Pro, while source is from Windows Media Creation Tool?

This damn company does not use Enterprise… grrr i have to stick with OEM. So i need to use my race condition method, damn it.

What should i do now?

You should add this information to the wiki so others user does not try making this work with oem for days:

@x23piracy I use oem at work and my setupcomplete.cmd does run.

[Tom Elliott]

Of course I’m not doing sysprep for Windows 10 yet.

[x23piracy]

@Tom-Elliott how could it run if you are not using sysprep?

[x23piracy]

Hi,

here is the evidence that SetupComplete.cmd does not run with OEM:

@x23piracy What I meant is my windows 10 image is not sysprepped, so the setupcomplete.cmd isn’t even a thought. My windows 7 worked, which I’m guessing is the same for you.

I suppose, one approach, to get the “setupcomplete.cmd” effects with OEM and Windows 10 would be to have the machine auto login one time. In the Audit mode layout, add a startup script that calls your setup complete script. Once the setupcomplete is done, have the startup script delete itself as well. Then when the system finishes setup, it should login to the administrator prompt, and perform the actions you have defined in the startup script.

This is theory, I don’t know how feasible such a setup would actually be though. The nicety that was setupcomplete.cmd is the explorer wasn’t started until after the setupcomplete completed its tasks, which shortly after would be rebooted due to the re-enabling of the FOG Client. Using the “startup script” method would mean the administrator login is fully accessible.

@Tom-Elliott i tried the method with firstlogon command and this seems to work but i need to enforce hostname change, can someone tell me how to force this?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------HostnameChanger-------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 22.07.2016 11:52 Client-Info Client Version: 0.11.4
 22.07.2016 11:52 Client-Info Client OS:      Windows
 22.07.2016 11:52 Client-Info Server Version: 1.3.0-RC-1
 22.07.2016 11:52 Middleware::Response Success
 22.07.2016 11:52 HostnameChanger Users still logged in and enforce is disabled, delaying any further actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need to force this, else i need to logoff manually.
My idea is also to use unattend.xml for 1 auto logon, but i need hostname change forced else i need to logoff manual.

@x23piracy In the GUI under Active Directory, there’s a checkbox under the password legacy field.

[x23piracy]

@Tom-Elliott that option was enabled but does not rename hostname while logged on:

is this maybe the problem?

Regards X23

[Tom Elliott]

@x23piracy update the host first. That checkbox is imperfect as it attempts to set itself based on the host. If he host isn’t set it looks at what the default value is. My guess the default value is on, but the host value is 0.

When i uncheck the option and update, it will be checked again. I think we had this in the past with some other option as a little bug.
Means, i uncheck, click update, popup tells option saved and then the checkbox is checked again while i unchecked it. hmmm funny…

I also tried to change this option for other hosts, it works no where, can you check for bug please?

How to find out if this option is set or not for a particular host when the webif always rechecks the checkbox?

Regards X23

[Tom Elliott]

@x23piracy It’s just how it is for now. Simple enough to fix, but not deeply impacting currently. Just understand, if you uncheck it and save it means you’ve unset that field, and the host will not perform those actions.

Hi,

i could finally fix my non working SetupComplete.cmd for Windows 10 OEM.
To get the SetupComplete.cmd being executed i use the unattend.xml section FirstLogonCommmands:

<SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
<Description>SetupComplete</Description>
<Order>1</Order>
<CommandLine>C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd</CommandLine>
<RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput>
</SynchronousCommand>

To get sure this is done automatically i allow autologon of a local admin once:

<AutoLogon>
<Password>
<Value>password</Value>
<PlainText>true</PlainText>
</Password>
<Enabled>true</Enabled>
<LogonCount>1</LogonCount>
<Username>username</Username>
</AutoLogon>

This will then execute the SetupComplete.xml while first login:

del C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\unattend.xml
sc config FOGService start= auto
net start FOGService
