Dell Latitude 5590 issues after imaging

@lschnider said in Dell Latitude 5590 issues after imaging:

Also you stated the thing about doing sysprep, is there any big benefit to doing sysprep before capturing the image?

Yes there is. Sysprep prepares the system for cloning and gets it ready for OOBE on the next boot (to be used once the golden image has been deployed to the final target computer). You should use the sysprep command line option to power off the windows computer to ensure its power off correctly. In windows 8 and later the start menu shutdown doesn’t actually power off the computer, but puts it into a deep sleep leaving files open and the disk marked as dirty. FOG will not backup a disk with the dirty bit set. If you don’t let sysprep power off the computer, then use shutdown -f -s -t 0 to power off the computer.

@lschnider if you are doing a golden image (one image for multiple models), then I strongly suggest doing sysprep for Windows 10. I sysprep mine from “audit mode”, which became necessary when trying to remove windows store apps from being created when a new user gets created. There are other reasons we had to go that route as well, but my memory is a bit hazy as to what we had to do. I will get to build the golden image from scratch again once the next spring update comes out.

If you aren’t doing much customizing, you may not need audit mode, but I think you need sysprep for the driver injection to work correctly (assuming you are going for a zero-touch installation).
