0.11.4 RC4 AD Question

RLane

So, I think I’m going crazy. I was using the release shortly before RC1 came out, had my master image with 0.11.2 and the host rename/join to AD worked flawless on Windows 10.

My SetupComplete has the required service configuration changes in it.

After upgrading to RC4 - using the same master image, same scripts, except 0.11.4 as the client version. Now, after I sysprep it (same method as before) – the service is set to automatic start up, but service status is stopped.

It is renaming the host but it is not joining to the domain because the service has not started.

How can I correct this in the master image? I disabled the service prior to sysprepping and also stopped it.

Tom Elliott

Either the service is first disabled or the service is set for automatic start in the image. Which is it? It cannot be both which is what it seems I’m reading.

That said does restarting the host start making things work again as they should?

RLane

@Tom-Elliott Pre sysprep: Service is disabled and then set to not automatically to run in start up.

Post sysprep: script is used in SetupComplete.cmd to start service.

Yes, in order to get it to work, I have to go back into services on the newly imaged device and manually start the service. It is set to automatically start but is not starting as it should. Once I manually start the service and reboot, it joins the domain and communicates with the servers – no issues.

@RLane this is not an issue with AD joining. Instead of starting the service in setup complete try restarting the machine after enabling the service on startup.

@RLane Hi, are you using OEM? If so you can’t use SetupComplete.cmd but you can use firstlogoncommands in unattend.xml to call SetupComplete.cmd to get done automated i also create a local user and allow 1 autologon via unattend.xml.

@Joe-Schmitt is correct.

I had the exact same problem here:
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8187/fog-client-0-11-2-not-starting-right

The solution is to have setupcomplete.cmd enable the service, and then restart the machine. I’m putting it into the wiki here momentarily.

Also - it renaming the host would indicate that you have Early Hostname Changer enabled. This is going to cause you problems in the long run if you’re sys-prepping and using the new client. you should disable that. It’s in fog settings.

Manually restarting it will resolve the issue however that is not exactly possible in most cases. You’re suggesting I had like “shutdown /r /t 60” to the end of my setupcomplete.cmd?

Wayne Workman

@RLane It’s already in the wiki.

@Wayne-Workman Hmm… still no dice.

@x23piracy Look at the wiki bud, it’s in there line for line.

https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client#FOG_Client_with_Sysprep

sc config FOGService start= auto
shutdown -t 0 -r

you basically put that in your setupcomplete.cmd and boom, done.

I don’t use that reboot command, my setupcomplete.cmd looks like that:

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

Domain join and hostname change by fog will do any reboots needed
Maybe it’s the combination i use:

early hostname change off
1 time autologon with local user
setupcomplete execution via unattend.xml firstlogoncommand
fog used for changing hostname and domain join

Everything works fully automated.

This is fine.
Of course, everyone is free to customize as much as they like.
The change to the recommended setup was requested by Senior Developer @Joe-Schmitt , who develops the new FOG Client - and other things. This change will guarantee the service is ran at the right moment, and timing will no longer be an issue on slow machines.
