Client won't upload image
-
Is it Windows 7? Did you run sysprep prior to imaging? Which sysprep options did you use?

Do I run sysprep on the machine I am uploading the image from? I’ve been looking for a good guide on how to do it, and I found this…

Do I need to foollow all of these steps prior to upload?

You can get really fancy and use the Unattend.xml file, but we prefer the simple approach. There are many ways to do this, here is what works for us:
- Load Windows, applications, patches, drivers, etc. on master
- Run sysprep /oobe /generalize (Computer will shut off at the end). You’ll find sysprep in C:\windows\system32\sysprep fiolder.
- Create an upload task in Fog for this computer
- PXE boot the computer to upload the image
After you deploy this image to a host and reboot, the computer starts by running the mini setup. It ends asking for a computer name, etc. Just like it is new from HP or Dell.

Awesome, that did it. I think that’s all I need and I’ll be off and imaging, thanks. Now onto snap-ins…

Great to hear. Let me know if I can provide additional help.
