Solved FOG + Sysprep + Windows 10 1803

@george1421
Thanks, i will do new test with this next week.

Actually i use this sed to modify xml :

sed -i "s/UCXXXX/$hostname/" /mnt/win/Windows/System32/Sysprep/sysprep.xml
sed -i "s/ouxx/$hostadou/" /mnt/win/Windows/Panther/unattend.xml

@florent Well I have found that you will have better success with Win10 to place the unattend.xml script in the Panther’s directory than in the older Sysprep directory. Also make sure that you only have one unattend.xml in your computer. Windows 10 looks in panther first.

Look at the fog.ad script here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8889/fog-post-install-script-for-win-driver-injection/3

I do have other scripts that perform other actions, but in this script you see how to update the unattend.xml file in a post install script.

Hi,
Yes same problem today even with your sysprep
I take everything from scratch

Only difference is i do this command :

c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\sysprep.xml

And in my post deploy script i copy and sed to this

C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\sysprep.xml

and

C:\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml

I go to try same command like you (in your command and FOG script it’s unattend.xml or Unattend.xml ?).

After doing your sysprep command and shutdown, you upload your image on FOG ?
In your post deploy script you use only sed or you use other tricks related to your image ? (cleanup files or folder or other)

Thanks

@florent Yes works with 1803

Here is my sysprep command
c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:C:\Windows\Panther\Unattend.xml

Ah I now see you are a back working on the same problem again:
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11920/windows-10-1803-sysprep-problem/6

What I do in fog post install script is to call sed to run on the unattend.xml script as referenced above to search for “<ComputerName>W10CBB</ComputerName>” and replace it with “<ComputerName>${hostname}</ComputerName>” where ${hostname} is supplied by FOG.

Thanks for your response.
Your method works on Windows 10 1803 ?
Have you an example of your template of unattend.xml ?

Fogprep, NOT to use anymore.

In my company’s case we don’t use the FOG Client to connect the computer to AD. We use the unattend.xml file. When we sysprep before capture we run the sysprep command and point to our custom unattend.xml file. We also use the unattend.xml file to name the computer.

I give examples of using a FOG Postinstall script to “change” the unattend.xml file settings after FOG puts the image onto the target computer’s hard drive and before windows starts for the first time.

There are additional examples of post install scripts here.
