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

[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

@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

@JJ-Fullmer using a WinPE for windows 10 disc

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

@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:

<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS">

  <RegisteredOrganization/>
  <RegisteredOwner/>
  <TimeZone/>
  <CopyProfile>true</CopyProfile>
</component></settings>

I might try something more like this

<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

@george1421 ok next question. Some of these questions are in the pass 7 settings. Isn’t it redundant to have these answers in Pass 4 and 7?
That’s why I left blank in pass 4

I can’t honestly answer that. I can say that your error (from screen shot) is in the section I quoted, and the example I provided is very similar to what I deploy today, but that code was copied from the internet. So the decision is yours… I’m only looking for footprints in the snow.

[ryan.mckenzie]

@george1421 ok thank you! I will try it out

[ryan.mckenzie]

@george1421 Failed with the same error after changing answer file to look like yours

I have attached a copy of my unattend.xml that I use with Windows 10 (edited to take out our private info). I can image Windows 10 without issues.0_1485985103092_unattend.xml

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Scott-Adams ok thank you I will take a gander at it

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Scott-Adams CopyProfile is set to false is this correct?

[george1421]

@ryan.mckenzie You probably want that set to true to copy the profile from the admin user to the default user.

[ryan.mckenzie]

@george1421 ok just making sure thank you. One more question do you set up in audit mode or not?

[george1421]

@ryan.mckenzie Me personally, no. We use MDT to build our reference image using the lite touch method (i.e. unattended setup once MDT starts).

We use MDT so we get a consistent reference image each time we rebuild the reference image (once a quarter). All of the common software is installed by MDT. When the system is ready for sysprep, we run sysprep and then capture and deploy with fog. Also by using MDT to build the reference image each time from the start we don’t have to worry about the rearm count or having to reset it each time we make a change.

@george1421 ok thank you. i appreciate it
