fog.drivers script always needs drivers

Server

• FOG Version: 1.4.3
• OS: Ubuntu 16.04

Client

• Service Version: 0.11.12
• OS: Windows 10

Description

I’m trying to set up a new Windows 10 image and inject drivers with the fog.drivers script I got from this forum. Any PC without drivers seems to fail to image if there isn’t a drivers folder on the fogserver. Is there a way to bypass the drivers copy and just image the machine, if the folder is missing on fog? The files I use are below.

            mkdir -p /ntfs >/dev/null 2>&1
            [[ ! $? -eq 0 ]] && echo " * Failed to Mount Device"
        fi
        for part in $parts; do
            umount /ntfs >/dev/null 2>&1
            ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile,rw $part /ntfs >/dev/null 2>&1
            [[ ! $? -eq 0 ]] && continue
        done
        . ${postdownpath}fog.drivers
        umount /fog /ntfs /images >/dev/null 2>&1

@chief In your fog.drivers update the bottom section with a if conditional to test to see if the directory exists.

clientdriverpath="/ntfs/Windows/DRV"
remotedriverpath="/images/drivers/$machine/$osn/$arch"

if [ -d $remotedriverpath ]; then

    [[ ! -d $clientdriverpath ]] && mkdir -p "$clientdriverpath" >/dev/null 2>&1
    echo -n "In Progress"

    #there's 3 ways you could handle this,
    #driver cab file, extracted driver files or both

    #i.e. Model Latitude E5410, Windows 7 x86 image would be:
    #/fog/Drivers/Latitude E5410/win7/x86

    rsync -aqz "$remotedriverpath" "$clientdriverpath" >/dev/null 2>&1
    [[ ! $? -eq 0 ]] && handleError "Failed to download driver information for [$machine/$osn/$arch]"


    regfile="/ntfs/Windows/System32/config/SOFTWARE"
    key="\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DevicePath"
    devpath="%SystemRoot%\DRV;%SystemRoot%\inf;";
    reged -e "$regfile" &>/dev/null <<EOFREG
ed $key
$devpath
q
y
EOFREG
    echo -e "\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b${ceol}Done"; # this just removes "In Progress and replaces it with done :-)"
fi

While it looks like a type-o the text between the EOFREG need to be on the first character of the line. In the code above I added if [ -d remotedriverpath ]; then in to test if the source directory exists.

On a side note understand the registry patch at the end will not work with Win10. You need to add a section to your unattend.xml file to tell OOBE where to look for the drivers.

@george1421 Thanks. That seems to have solved it.

[chief]

@george1421 Actually. I have tested on another machine and it’s not copying the drivers across now if they are on the server. Is there any other way around it?

[george1421]

@chief Ok I made a sad rookie mistake.

The test for the directory was posted as

if [ -d remotedriverpath ]; then

I missed the variable identifier, that line should read.

if [ -d $remotedriverpath ]; then

Note the missing ( $ ) character.

[chief]

I’ve tested and it still doesn’t copy the drivers when they are there?
