      @Jonathan-Cool There is two ways to have the target computers to connect to domain.

      1. Have unattend.xml do this. You must provide the domain connection information in your unattend.xml. I do it this way because we have a complicated OU structure and we I have some scripts in the post install that decide where (physical location) the target computer is being installed and type of computer (desktop, laptop) to calculates the OU where the computer will exist. Once the target OU is calculated the unattend.xml file is updated using a sed expression. Then during OOBE, windows setup connects the computer to the domain.
      2. Have the fog client connect the computer to the domain. To do this, you must install the fog client into your reference image but disable the service. You must disable the service to keep the fog client from starting too early in OOBE in the windows setup process. Then use the setupcomplete.cmd batch file to re-enable the fog client service. This is the script you posted below. You must also have the fog client options enabled in the FOG web gui.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

        Hi,
        I used the 2nd method but, in the fog.log on the client, error 1355 …
        It’s strange because, with an other image without any SetupComand.cmd and a classic install of FOG Client into the image reference, it’s works.

        I used the Global settings to set ID of my domain. It’s not a typo …

        With the image using the SetupComplete.cmd, domain jonction feature fail …

        I think Windows correctly reads the SetupComands.cmd because the first problem seem solved (Drivers Injection). But, after the reboot, in services, i seen “FOGService : Disabled”.

        My SetupComplete.cmd :

        rem Injection des pilotes avant le premier Login Screen
        dism /Online /add-driver /driver:C:\Windows\DRV /Recurse
        
        rem Demarrage du service FOG avant le premier Login Screen
        sc config FOGService start= auto
        shutdown -t 5 -r
        

        My stuff :
        Server :
        FOG Version : Running Version 1.5.9
        OS : Debian GNU/Linux 10
        FOG Client Version : 0.12
        Specifications :
        > All images are on a Synology NAS storage : mounted with NAS_ip:/images
        > French user :)

          @Jonathan-Cool So your current problem is that the fog service is not turning back on in the setupcomplete.cmd?

          What happens if you change the order in the setupcomplete.cmd file. Make the sc command come first maybe dism is doing something right, but causing the sc command to fail. The sc command looks right and should work.

          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

            2 side problems with SetupComplete.cmd :

            • the fog service is not turning back on
            • IF i turn the service at “start” manuelly, the domain jonction feature fail with error 1355

            I have not theses problems without SetupComplete.cmd.

            I tried to put the dism command-line in second and the sc config in first … same result.
            Strange 😞

            Now, i ask my self if the SetupComplete is really executed …

            Edit : i will try this script :

            mkdir C:\TestSetupComplete
            sc config FOGService start= auto
            dism /Online /add-driver /driver:C:\Windows\DRV /Recurse /ForceUnsigned
            shutdown -t 5 -r

              @Jonathan-Cool I would also test from cmd prompt that sc config FOGService start= auto works as expected with your OS.

                  And now, the feedback … :

                  • “mkdir C:\TestSetupComplete” : no folder was created …
                  • sc config FOGService start= auto : FOG is always disabled
                  • dism : maybe it’s good because i have no drivers problems

                    @Jonathan-Cool Your source media used to create your reference image, is that oem or vlk?

                    If its OEM I can understand why it not work.

                    First of all from the legal side M$ EULA for OEM media doesn’t allow for system reimaging if you alter the media at all. You can reimage using oem media as long as its from the original OEM dvd unaltered. This is a Microsoft requirement and not anything to do with fog. For imaging you must use the VLK media and VLK license.

                    Since OEM media license does not allow imaging you should stop now and get the properly licensed media.

                    I have heard of people using OEM media (against the MS EULA) for imaging. I think they called the setupcomplete.cmd file from the unattend.xml file using the first run section. But again that is only what I heard and never tried.

                    Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                      @george1421 I read the OEM / VLK things.

                      After a “slmgr -dli”, i think i have a VLK license :
                      In “Description”, i can see “VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel”.
                      And, the product number not start by “OEM” …

                        Hm, maybe i did a misktake.
                        The FOG documentation said : “f you plan to use Sysprep before image capture and are also planning to use the FOG Client” … but, i never use the “Sysprep.exe”.
                        On my Vbox, i just

                        • create the SetupComplete.cmd with the script*lines
                        • disable FOG
                        • upload the image on FOG

                        On client, i just donwload the image …

                          Well I guess that explains it right there. Without sysprep your drivers will not import and setupcomplete.cmd will not run. Shame on you for not following the rules…

                            Oh … i’m really sorry for this mistake.
                            In fact, i realized some tests with Sysprep before to know the SetupComplete.cmd.
                            On Win10, I created an unattend file for the registry hack but … after deploy, i alway seen the OOBE screen. At this time, i said “What the hell with this screen ?” and … went back to Windows 7 for tests. Before THIS mistake, i didn’t understand the link with Sysprep and the SetupComplete.cmd but now … i think I understand 🙂
                            Today, i will try some tests with Sysprep.
                            But, just to understand, why the domain jonction feature is broken if i have a SetupComplete.cmd in the Windows\Scripts\ folder ?
                            You say “SetupComplete will not run” … Maybe it’s totally another problem … ?

                              Hello.
                              After some new researches, i found informations about sysprep.
                              And I discovered new issues : the unsigned drivers.
                              In my first attempt, I had many error during Sysprep causing by unsigned drivers. Same error on 820G3, Optiplex7010 & HP8000.
                              Well. I found the solution : in my reference image and before the Sysprep op, i installed two importants updates : KB2685811 & KB2685813.
                              After a reboot, i sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown the image (I took a snapshot before).
                              And i retry with theses computers : no error during the sysprep 🙂
                              And i can confirm, the SetupComplete ran : after the deploy, i can confirm :

                              • the FOGService is started
                              • drivers are OK (excepted ACPI for DELL but i will fix that later)
                                BUT the domain jonction fail … for all computers … error 1355.

                              I didn’t use any unattend file … after the deploy, I answer at the questions.
                              There is a link about the unattend file and the FOG Domain jonction feature ?
