    Thx you for tour answer. Well, at first and to this stape, we don t want any options for joining domain. That s why our unattend file is voluntary light.
    I will try a fog client installation on my golden image before sysprep then New capture and deploy to see if it changes something or not with the hostname.
    Moreover I will try to migrate on 1.5.10 like you suggest.
    I will tell you the results.

      @jeje3346 Oh yes the other thing I forgot in my previous reply is that you need to have the FOG client installed on the computer so that the name change can happen.

      If you are wanting to install the FOG client on your golden image, make sure that you disable the FOGService in the windows services. You can use this link for reference of how to do this correctly with sysprep. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOG_Client#FOG_Client_with_Sysprep

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        Hello rodluz,
        Well i follow what you suggest and it works with Fog client into the machine the Setup complete and auto reboot.

        I would have prefered a solution without the Fog client on machine but it seems impossible with sysprep stape.

        Thx a lot for your help!!

          I found this post
          https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7740/the-magical-mystical-fog-post-download-script/15

          moderator @george1421 put an important information about possibility to update unattend file. So it would be possible to use Fog variable into the file.
          If it works like he says so it means that i don t need Fog client install on my golden image and the Setup complete cmd.

          If i understand, first in put in a post download script (/images/postdownloadscripts/myfogscript.sh)

          This :

          Unattend.xml path (note the case specifics in the file name and path)

          unattendfile=“/ntfs/Windows/Panther/unattend.xml”;

          And this :

          sed -i -e “s#<ComputerName>([^<][^<]*)</ComputerName>#<ComputerName>$hostname</ComputerName>#gi” $unatendfile

          So it means that it could may be possible to change hostname without fog client on machine right?

            @jeje3346 Technically speaking, anything is possible.

            These postdownload scripts are customizable to your hearts content, so yes it’s possible, technically, but as far as getting support for your own scripts, we’ll try, but it’s still all best case.

            The FOG Client will do so in a well standardized method but if you don’t want to use that, that’s perfectly fine as well.

            We will still attempt to assist as required.

            Thank you,

              i think the postdownload possibility is just amazing cause you can personalize like you want.

              in /images/postdownloadscripts/ :

              fog.postdownload (default file)
              fog.custominstall

              1. in fog.postdownload (i call the created file)

              . ${postdownpath}/fog.custominstall

              1. in fog.custominstall (unattend declaration & sed command)

              unattendfile=“/ntfs/Windows/Panther/unattend.xml”;

              sed -i -e “s#<ComputerName>([^<][^<]*)</ComputerName>#<ComputerName>$hostname</ComputerName>#gi” $unatendfile

              Should be right ?

                @jeje3346 it looks correct, yes.

                You could test it by creating a simple example of the file and running the sed statement itself. Ultimately, though, it should work properly.

                  script is working but something is wrong

                  postd2.JPG

                  it seems that fog cannot find or access to the unattend file (autounattend.xml)

                  i have read in a @george1421 post a special bloc like :
                  ####################

                  windows 10/11

                  osdiskpart=“/dev/sda2”;

                  mkdir /ntfs 2>/dev/null

                  mount.ntfs-3g “${osdiskpart}” /ntfs 2>/tmp/mntfail

                  mntRet=“$?”;
                  if [ ! “$mntRet” = “0” ]; then
                  echo “Failed to mount C:”;
                  cat /tmp/mntfail;
                  sleep 12;
                  exit 1;
                  fi
                  ####################

                  Should i put this in my fog.postdownload juste before my sed command or am wrong and another way exists ?

                    You would have a postdownload script of something like:

                    osdiskpart=“/dev/sda2”;
                    
                    mkdir /ntfs 2>/dev/null
                    
                    mount.ntfs-3g “${osdiskpart}” /ntfs 2>/tmp/mntfail
                    
                    mntRet=“$?”;
                    if [ ! “$mntRet” = “0” ]; then
                    echo “Failed to mount C:”;
                    cat /tmp/mntfail;
                    sleep 12;
                    exit 1;
                    fi
                    
                    unattendfile=“/ntfs/Windows/Panther/unattend.xml”;
                    sed -i -e “s#<ComputerName>([^<][^<]*)</ComputerName>#<ComputerName>$hostname</ComputerName>#gi” $unattendfile
                    

                    Of course this assumes that /dev/sda2 is the windows main partition.
