trying to sysprep windows 10 to upload to fog. PLEASE HELP

[Joe Schmitt]

@ryan-mckenzie how many times does it restart? Because it should normally restart 3 or so times (so the client can undo the generalization done by sysprep)

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Joe-Schmitt infinite

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Joe-Schmitt i apologize for being such a pain but I have never had this much trouble with fog before

[Joe Schmitt]

@ryan.mckenzie at this point it’s an issue with how the image is being made (either your unattend file or setupcomplete) before capturing. Could you post both?

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Joe-Schmitt Will do! give me a few minutes please

@Joe-Schmitt 2_1485876493462_unattend.xml 1_1485876493462_SetupComplete.cmd 0_1485876493461_reseal.cmd

@Joe-Schmitt here is after running sysprpep (no capture)

@ryan.mckenzie once i changed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\ChildCompletion from 1 to 3 it loaded… Have you had anyone else with this problem? it seems to have saved the image and is loading at the moment.
I need to redeploy to make sure it loads correctly that way or if it gives me the same error.

[ryan.mckenzie]

@ryan.mckenzie Failed. gave me the same error message and the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\ChildCompletion is set back to 1…

[Joe Schmitt]

@ryan.mckenzie so this is definitely an issue with your unattend.xml then. Mind posting the file and maybe one of the @Moderators or @Testers, who are familiar with sysprep can take a look?

[george1421]

@Joe-Schmitt At least the Microsoft-Windows-ShellSetup section. I’ve seen (caused) this error before, but I can’t recall how or why. The section of the unattend.xml file may jog a few brain cells loose.

[JJ Fullmer]

Along with your unattend.xml (ps be sure to take out any passwords you may have in there for auto login before posting) could you give a general goal of the answer file?
i.e. make the image hardware independent
inject drivers for just this one model? Also what method are using for injecting drivers?

Also, this may be helpful https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7902/image-prep-script

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Joe-Schmitt Sure will! 0_1485973693021_unattend.xml

[ryan.mckenzie]

@JJ-Fullmer I am injecting dell family optiplex 7 cab drivers for various models I will try the 5040 drivers only

[ryan.mckenzie]

@JJ-Fullmer using a WinPE for windows 10 disc

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Joe-Schmitt Here is the reseal.cmd and the SetupComplete.cmd files too.1_1485975329176_SetupComplete.cmd 0_1485975329175_reseal.cmd

[george1421]

@ryan.mckenzie Well I feel you need a bit more details in your specialize:Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup section. I don’t think you can have some of the fields blank you do.

ref:

I might try something more like this
