      @Lee-Rowlett Seems like I’m very close. The image task completes and I get the following just before the machine restarts. Unfortunately no drivers are copied so the image fails to bootup since there’s no drivers in it:

      /images/postdownloadscripts/fog.postdownload: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token '$' in\r''
      
      'images/postdownloadscripts/fog.postdownload: line 2: 'case $osid in

              @Lee-Rowlett Success!! Evidently my fog.postdownload and fog.drivers files got corrupted by editing in Notepad. Thank you for sending me a clean version! Working like a champ. Also for purpose of posterity or future users, the name of the folder for each individual hardware type needs to exactly match the spelling and case of the “System Product” field in the “Inventory” for that machine (or type of machine):

                I gotten this to make the edits to the unattend.xml but it still doesnt join the domain. Do you have a Windows10 Unattend.xml that i can compare where I went wrong?

                    @Lee-Rowlett I remoted in and took a look. Cleaned up the scripts a lot, with Gregs help (-- @Greg-Plamondon I grabbed some credit but it still mostly goes to you --). I asked Greg to post the finished scripts after generalizing them so his environment is safe. Hopefully you will like them, and others as well.

                      @Lee-Rowlett The unattend.xml is in the C:\Windows\Panther directory. I removed the option from my setupcomplete.cmd that deletes the unattend.xml, so after it boots I can take a look at it and the edits were made to it. Should I be editing the C:\Windows\Sytstems32\Sysprep\unattend.xml instead of the Windows\Panther ?

                        @Greg-Plamondon it should be in one or the other place. Panther is checked first. When you sysprep’d where did you tell sysprep to look for the file?

                          @Lee-Rowlett Thanks for the base scripts and ideas behind them.
                          @Tom-Elliott Thanks for helping me adjusting them for my needs.
                          @Junkhacker Thanks for the fog log script, you dont know how many time I have forgotten to delete the damn fog.log
                          Here are the scripts that @Tom-Elliott helped me with.

                            @Greg-Plamondon it should be in one or the other place. Panther is checked first. When you sysprep’d where did you tell sysprep to look for the file?

                            i didnt i just ran sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /reboot

                              @Greg-Plamondon Then you must ensure that unattend.xml must be in panther or sysprep folder. Typically its good practice to specifically call out the direct path to unattend.xml file.

                              BTW, great scripts!! thanks for posting them.

                                Hi,

                                there is no need for having unattend.xml in a Special Directory, use /unattend:[FQPath] to Point Panther to the file.

                                Regards X23

                                  @x23piracy I think most of us are aware of that. Even if we’re not it does ultimately make things simpler to just know where to find the “default” locations.

                                    @Greg-Plamondon I’ve had issues in the past when I had unattend.xml in the sysprep folder that it would use that file regardless of whether or not I specified it. I’m guessing that’s your issue as well.

                                      The beauty of the postdownloadscripts are that you can do whatever it is you need to do.

                                      If we’re unsure of where to find the unattend.xml (or whatever you wanted to name it) you can use basic linux utilities to locate them.

                                      For example, instead of:

                                      #!/bin/bash
                                      hostadpwd="ADPASSWDHERRE"; #only downside to this method- this is the plain ad password
                                      unattend="/ntfs/Windows/Panther/unattend.xml";
                                      [[ ! -f $unattend ]] && return
                                      dots "Preparing Sysprep File"
                                      rm -f /ntfs/Windows/System32/sysprep/unattend.xml >/dev/null 2>&1
                                      if [[ ! $? -eq 0 ]]; then
                                          echo "Failed"
                                          debugPause

                                              debugPause
                                              handleError "Failed to update user, pass, ou, and domain setter"

                                      done
                                      

                                      This will enable you to make the same edits to ANY unattend file found. I think this way is a bit more dynamic, and we’re not having to delete any files. You can also add a nested loop system to scan ANY partition for this to make the edits.

                                      The intent of the postdownloadscripts are to allow people to do whatever it is they may need to do without having to continuously update their own scripts (of course are more than welcome if you feel you need to). So think of the postdownload scripts as a way to enable a kind of mechanism to enable the admins to make their edits however they deem necessary.

                                        One point that I found if you use the /Windows/System32/sysprep folder, that name changes under Win10 to /Windows/System32/Sysprep this caused me a little pain (case change on the sysprep folder), until Tom gave me the hint to use find function. It does slow down the install a bit while find does its magic. You can cut down some of the time by specifying a path a bit closer like /ntfs/Windows since the unattend.xml file should be in there.

                                          Two additional comments.

                                          This is the search command I had to use on Centos 7 to find the unattend file in the sysprep folder. It was a bit of a cheat (not looping through the found entries, but this way I knew only one file would be returned).

                                           unattendfile=`find /ntfs/Windows -type f -iname "unattend.xml"|grep ystem32`
                                          

                                          We since moved the only unattend file to the Panther folder since that is where Win10 searches first (we do specify the full path anyway when the system is sysprep’d). We did this to simplify the script since the case doesn’t change on Panther.

                                          The second thing we do is use this sed search to replace the computer name (just in case there is something for the computer name that isn’t a star ( * ). Its a little be more complex of a regex expression but it works in all cases.

                                          sed -i -e "s#<ComputerName>\([^<][^<]*\)</ComputerName>#<ComputerName>$hostname</ComputerName>#gi" $unattendfile

                                            I have been using the vendor/hardware ID to supply drivers to machines (this works well for the random bits we get from time to time that need re-imaging)

                                            However would ideally like to be able to utilise the scripts in this document to download the drivers based on vendor and machine type, while still retaining the functionality of pulling the drivers if the machine type does not exist (if for instance we didn’t have Windows 10 drivers for a Dell Optiplex 3020 then it would pull drivers based on vendor and hardware ID).

                                            Is anyone else doing anything like this or is it just not possible?

                                            Thanks
