Windows 10 + FOG 1.2 + vMware vSphere 6

[aruhuno]

Hello,

I’m trying to use FOG for upload my Windows 10 syspreped system’s and I’ve problem. When upload start, FOG block at this step : http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1440597021.png

All works with Windows 7 and for Windows 10 image, I’m using “Windows 7” in “Operating System” field.

My VM hardware is :

• OS client : Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
• CPU : 1 CPU 1 core
• RAM : 2GB
• Network : VMXNET3
• HD : LSI Logic SAS

FOG server specifications :

• Debian Wheezy
• FOG 1.2.0 (with kernel 3.10.1)

Thanks for your help.

HOw was the image setup? Is it setup for WIndows 7?

HOw did you install Windows 10 on the VM?

Because of it hanging, I’m guessing it came “pre-installed” then was converted from a GPT structure to use MBR.

You’re going to have to delete the current tasking. Create a new tasking as "Upload -Debug ( Goto basic tasks on the host, click on Advanced Tasks, then scroll a bit until you see Upload - Debug. Submit the tasking as you normally would).

The system that you’re using as the “golden” system needs to be rebooted. It will startup like normal, but at the end it will not automatically start trying to upload anything.

It will give you a command prompt.

Run the command:

fixparts /dev/sda

Confirm and write the information.

Then run the command:

fog

You will have to press enter a bunch of times as this is debug, so it’s waiting for your input so you can step through different parts to find issues.

@Tom-Elliott Thanks a lot, it’s OK now !
I’m going to create a new master because I can’t use “Resizable” with windows reserved part. I will use a direct partition table to MBR.

Thanks again !

FOG does not resize partitions that are too small to resize, like the 100MB windows reserved partition. Just an FYI.

I’m solving this thread as the fix parts solution seemed to have worked.

I will caution those of you who may try to setup “Windows 10” as the VM environment on ESXi, and I suppose “Windows 8/8.1” will be the same as well.

The “default” settings of Windows 8/8.1/10 will screw up what the kernel can handle and cause your VM’s to go into a kernel panic. Please do not report an issue as I am informing you all about the issue right here. The only thing I will ask for is if somebody figures out the configuration for the kernel that would be needed to fix this issue to please post that as it will be a huge help.

Windows 7 should be the choice even if you’re planning to install Windows 8/8.1/10.

I don’t understand, but it’s OK without reserved partition =]

@Tom-Elliott : It works with 3.10.1 kernel ^^

@aruhuno why can’t you use “Resizable” with windows reserved part?

@Junkhacker : FOG report an error with message about more than one partition

Can you get us a screenshot?

[aruhuno]

@Wayne-Workman I can’t because I’ve already create master without reserved partition, sorry!

Not sure that remove the reserved partition is the good solution.
