Trouble imaging Windows 7 with Vmware version of FOG - Newbie
-
Good day.
I hope this hasn’t been asked a million times. So last week I deployed the virtual FOG Appliance (version 0.27). I successfully Uploaded then Deployed a Windows XP image. Worked great. I then loaded a clean version of Windows 7 on the same machines, uploaded and deployed but got a Windows Boot Manager error… inaccessible device. Searching the forums / user guide I discovered I needed to run FOGPrep… which I did but the error was still there. I also read that in later versions of FOG Server, this glitch has been resolved and requires no user action. So this creates two questions…
-
I have NO IDEA how to update the FOG appliance to 0.32…
-
I’m wondering why after running FOGPrep I’m still getting the Windows Boot Manager error.
Thanks for any help!
Regards,

Ok… I’m losing my mind but have made SOME progress.
I was able to update the server to .32. Restarted, everything looks fine.
Im still unable to do two things:
-
I’m running Fogprep… I’m confirming that it’s removing the HKLM/System/MountedDevice registry entries. I then shut down and upload. When I deploy to another computer it hangs at the Windows Boot Manager - The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. I can boot off the windows 7 cd and repair windows… it finds the problems and reboots and all is fine. But what’s causing this? I understood .32 didn’t even require FOGprep?
-
The newly imaged computer will rename but won’t join domain. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I’ve used FogCrypt to encrypt password… using domain\username and username (which puts two backslashes between domain \ username. I’ve seen something about logs that help determine what is happening… anyone know where they are?
please help! I’ve been working on this for a week.

Did you do a disk wipe before you did your install of windows 7?
I am a little confused about this part of your post, " I’m running Fogprep… I’m confirming that it’s removing the HKLM/System/MountedDevice registry entries. I then shut down and upload." After preping should you be restarting the OS?

The logs are on the local PC that was imaged(c:\foglog [or something]), they don’t usally help though (for me). Ensure you’re using the correct syntax for the AD integration. Are you doing it per group?
