      Yes I am sysprepping. If I deploy the same image to a PC that was in my FOG db before, it works. The new PCs are also identical hardware to the ones we already had (Dell Optiplex 990 USFF). If I deploy to one of the new PCs, it doesn’t join the domain. One some of them (about 10%, at random) the hostname changes, but it never joins the domain.

      I’ve been running around, joining them manually today because it was urgent… 🙂

      I don’t know what “early hostname changer” is.

        @dolf If you are sysprepping is the client disabled on startup and then re-enabled in setup complete?

          In addition to what Joe said,

          You have to disable the fog service before capture, and create a setupcomplete.cmd file that re-enables it and turns it on, and then capture your image.

          Early Hostname Changer must also be off for this to work right.

            Ooh… Didn’t know that. My setupcomplete.cmd only deletes the unattend.xml file. I have nothing that touches the FOG Client in any way. Looks like I’ll have to change the image, then? I just installed the FOG Client without any further configuration, and it works for all PCs which were added to the FOG db last year.

              @dolf if you can, after you update your image could you try deployments with early hostname changer both on and off? If I’m right the issues that early hostname changer had with sysprep should have been fixed.

                @Joe-Schmitt Will do!

                Any idea why it would work for the old PCs but not the new ones? It find it strange.

                  It’s a race condition. You were playing with fire and got lucky until now.

                      v0.11.5 of the client prevents premature startups of the service. You will still need to disable the client before syprepping and restart the computer when sysprep is complete though (as described in the updated FOG Client wiki article).

                        In @Joe-Schmitt’s second last message, the plan was to require no modification to setupcomplete.cmd. But the wiki still says I have to modify it. Which instructions should I follow?

                          @dolf The one marked as the answer. We keep the FOG Client article updated, because it’s important.
