Windows Image Hangs on Boot
-
@flipwalker Are you using sysprep generalized and shutdown when you capture?
-
@george1421 Well I’ll be a son of a… Oh well. Ok. I went ahead and tried it anyway. Most of it seems to be ok, however my stepupcomplete.cmd doesn’t seem to want to run on its own. Is this because of the AD problem on the reference image? Or did I screw something else up? It worked previously on another test I did.
-
@imagingmaster21 That’s what I’m working on now. Previously I wasn’t syspreping because I was scared of unattend. But others have convinced me I need to stop being a wuss and try to learn myself real good. I’m almost there. In fact as we speak I just sysprepped a reference image machine and I’m about to capture and test deploy it.
-
@george1421 SetupComplete still isn’t executing. I can manually execute and it seems to work, but it doesn’t automatically. Any ideas?
-
@flipwalker What version of windows?
(Not just 10, but education, pro, etc…?)
-
@tom-elliott Pro, I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to tell you the version number, I don’t have a machine at home tonight.
-
@flipwalker As long as its not Win10 OEM then setupcomplete.cmd should execute as long as if its in the right location and you sysprep’d the image.
-
@george1421 It was an ISO for Pro that I pulled off the Microsoft site. The SetupComplete is at this exact path:
c:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd
Contents of it is:
sc config FOGService start= auto
netsh wlan add profile filename=“c:\Image\Wi-Fi-RTI-25B.xml”
shutdown -t 0 -rDo you see anything obvious?
-
If you’re referring to the retail version of Windows 10 that’s created by using the Microsoft Windows 10 Installation Media Creation Tool, it’s not quite the same as the GVLK (Generic Volume License Key) version, but I don’t think there would be anything that would prevent the running of the setupcomplete.cmd.
-
Just a status report for those interested. I did get a functional image going, and it seems to have resolved the issues. However I was never able to get the Setupcomplete to run, however I added a first logon addition to the unattend calling that script specifically and now it works.
Next on my to do list is getting a driver package put together for the laptops so they have the most up to date drivers installed on boot.
Thanks for all your help, and we can probably mark this as ‘solved’, but I don’t know how to do that…

@flipwalker If you have dell systems (sorry I don’t remember) you can get the cab files from here: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/w/wiki/2065.dell-command-deploy-driver-packs-for-enterprise-client-os-deployment (Hint: They are all in one place.) Just extract the drivers using 7zip and build the required directory structure.
