Image Prep Script

JJ Fullmer

Once upon a time @Wayne-Workman asked me to share my script for prepping images with or without using sysprep.
At the time it was still being developed and not quite stable enough to share. It still needs a bit more work to be truly universal and I will likely put it in a public git when it’s closer to that level. But hey, I figure it might help somebody out. There are some pre-reqs for it like having devcon.exe from the windows wdk (freely available) in your C:\Windows\System32 folder, or elsewhere in the path, if you want to not use sysprep. So read through the comments, ask questions, and hopefully this helps someone. I designed it around windows 10 and vm’s for images.

@ECHO off
	rem This script prepares a customized computer to be imaged.
	rem It will stop the fog service and prompt you to queue the upload
	rem It then will take care of cleaning up the windows\installer folder
	rem Then it will make sure hibernate is off
	rem Then it will run a system file check and windows update component cleanup as well as run chkdsk
	rem Then it will run CCleaner
	rem then it will empty all recycle bins 
	rem Then it will delete the weird volume registry keys
	rem Then it will delete all ze drivers and restart for the image to start uploading
	rem Before all that it copies itself to C:\ so that it can still run after uninstalling the network drivers.

@Greg-Plamondon said in Image Prep Script:

what is this used for?
set secretKeyPath=\\path\to\secure\keys
what keys are you referring to?

That would be relating to the mntShare.bat and ps1 script/commands. It’s a method of mounting shares in scripts without plain text credentials that I just discovered. I put my secure keys in the fog program files folder so I can run scripts with it manually on any computer or with fog. You could also put them in every snapin pack and then only have them on a host when they’re in use. But that would be a bit of extra work for each snapin you create. Granted that could probably be scripted.

mntShare.bat (Alternative to plain text credentials with net use, Requires creating powershell compatible aes key and password files, instructions on that in ps1 script after this one)

@JJ-Fullmer said in Image Prep Script:

pnputil

Can you tell us more about that? I’m thinking I’m going to have to build a universal image now.

What @jayrob86 posted was some good stuff.

My basic explanation would be.

pnputil can add, install, or add and install drivers to a host.
If you use pnputil -a driver.inf you will add a driver to the plug n play store but not install it. This makes it so you can add drivers to your image without losing hardware independence.
If you use pnputil -i -a driver.inf it will install that driver for you and add it to the driverstore. Which is what I would use for a driver installer script.
You can also do recursive searches with for loops.
like this one that would go through the first level of folders in a folder and install all inf files in each folder (to do all subfolders would take more loops or something)… (disclaimer: untested, just doing it off the top of my head right quick, syntax may be wrong, but I’ve done it before, should really make this a sharedFunction script)
run from path you’re searching
use %%F (or i, or whatever variable floats your boat) in a script but just 1 % in command line)
%F= each line of output of dir /b which is just a folder name list (/b takes out the full path, makes it like ls) Then the loop just takes the foldername*.inf to install all inf files in that folder.
FOR /F %F in ('dir /b') do pnputil -i -a %F\*.inf

For drivers in a universal image I use that loop on downloaded drivers with just -a for any model that has drivers that are missing from windows 10 by default. A word of caution though, be careful with things like intel rapid storage technology drivers, and other hard drive/raid/sata controller type drivers. Sometimes having multiple in the store ends up having the wrong one install and then there are problems. So I try to limit it to simpler drivers, like network drivers, graphics drivers can work too, however trying to preinstall all nvidia drivers from a single nvidia driver download will take up a good chunk of GB of your image. So I stopped trying to do that one. But other than those 2 caveats of graphics drivers taking up space and IRST drivers having occasional conflicts, it’s a pretty great practice for universalizing images. Another important note, that I may have mentioned earlier, some inf files reference sys files and cab files in subdirs or the same dir. So you can’t always just copy the inf file to a share or something like that, so it’s good to install it from the original location that you find it in so it can copy those required files to the driver store as needed.

So some more examples would be the sol and heci drivers for a HP 8000 elite, or the latest intel network driver IL29 or something like that. Chipset drivers, monitor drivers, touchscreen drivers, printer drivers etc. And from what I understand, and I’m not 100% on this, but basically it puts drivers in 2 places on adding and installing. I think that when it’s installed it creates a C:\Windows\inf\oem#.inf file and when it adds it, it puts it in the driver store at C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository but I may have that backwards. But those are the 2 locations that drivers will go.

The other advantage to this method, that I think I mentioned before, is that it skips over having to install any extra software from the manufacturer. You can usually use 7zip to extract any driver installer exes and find the inf files you need.

Hopefully that answers your question enough to utilize it.

I intend to eventually make a public git with universalized versions of all this and keep it updated with my stable versions.
But that will take some work, because I’m me and I would want to automate the process of making them universal and without my share names and such. Have to make a script to take out personal information from all the scripts. Which means putting any and all variable information in a standardized form and location too. So that idea might take a while. But when that does happen, it’ll be pretty cool. I update these scripts almost daily, kinda like how often the fog dev/trunk branch is updated. When I do that, I would put my instructions on branching from it and using sublime text and sublime text package manager to use sublime add ons like git and fileheader to do all the file header versioning stuff and committing and such straight from the text editor.

@jayrob86 said in Image Prep Script:

@JJ-Fullmer would you mind sharing howith you are able to have a firstlogin and Setup Complete without sysprep. I am thinking of using the pnputil to install driver cabs after PC is imaged.

That would be these functions in the image prep script…

:setupFirstLogon
	rem Function to enable autologon for Administrator
	echo... apply General Profile on base images...
	if %hn%==baseImageVM (
		start %afterScripts%\Apply-Default-Profile-args.bat General
	) else if %hn%==BASEIMG-32 (
		start %afterScripts%\Apply-Default-Profile-args.bat General-32
	) else (
		echo. do not apply anything here...
	)
	echo. wait for profile to apply...
	timeout /t 60

	echo. loop through and import all keys...
	REG IMPORT %afterScripts%\autologon-keys\admin-autologon.reg
	REG IMPORT "%afterScripts%\autologon-keys\admin-autologon.reg" /reg:32
	REG IMPORT "%afterScripts%\autologon-keys\admin-autologon.reg" /reg:64
	
	echo. Create the script to run the logon script via echos...and create in both possible spots...

	call :createScript AdlAdmin
	call :createScript Administrator

	EXIT /B

:createScript
	rem Function to create the script to start the logon script, takes user Parameters...
	call :funcHead "Creating startup script for %~1"
	set firstLoginBatPath=AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\firstLogin.bat
	echo @ECHO OFF > "C:\Users\%~1\%firstLoginBatPath%"
	echo net use %scriptShare% /USER:%domain%\%user% %passwd% >> "C:\Users\%~1\%firstLoginBatPath%"
	echo start %afterScripts%\firstLogonCommands.bat >> "C:\Users\%~1\%firstLoginBatPath%"

	EXIT /B

And this is the registry key .reg file it imports

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultDomainName"=""
"DefaultUserName"="Administrator"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"DefaultPassword"="plainTextPassword"

And here is the key to disable it

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultDomainName"=""
"DefaultUserName"=""
"AutoAdminLogon"="0"
"DefaultPassword"=""

Fun fact, this is what sysprep does to do it too if you don’t use the encrypted password option, that I never figured out how to use anyway. I am trying to find a way.

But wait, there’s more!
Here is my firstLogonCommands.bat (some call it setupcomplete, to each their own.) Followed by a few of the shared functions it calls.

pnputil

Can you tell us more about that? I’m thinking I’m going to have to build a universal image now.

PNP Utility can install drivers that match the hardware for the device.
Here is an article that I found that discusses using PNPutil and Forfiles.

Wayne Workman

@JJ-Fullmer Well, those were some refreshing things you just said. I’ll have to try this when I find some time.

JJ Fullmer

@Wayne-Workman I should add that it doesn’t remove driver files that are ready for plug n play.
It just uninstalls all devices to make it hardware independent, just like sysprep does. So if you use sysprep you would use the sysprep function instead of the hardware independence function.

Something else I do is when I do find a driver that is missing from windows 10 I get the inf file for it and add it to my image’s plug n play store with the command pnputil -a path/to/driver.inf I try to limit doing this to only network drivers because once you get that far windows update in windows 10 usually takes care of the rest.

JJ Fullmer

@Wayne-Workman Well before windows 10 I would make a batch script that I would deploy as a snapin that did silent installs of all the drivers for a specific model.
Granted if I made that same script now I would just get the infs and their associated linked files and use pnputil -i -a *.inf to install all the drivers from a organized driver network share. Rather than silent installs of their setup.exe’s that install random little services with the drivers.

But windows 10 has like 99% of the drivers built in or available in windows update, so I just don’t even worry about it anymore.

Granted, removing all the drivers with this method does break Remote Desktop. So in my firstlogin script I have the following lines to add remote desktop back. The driver files needed stay in the store. These exact ones only work for windows 10 64 and 32 bit respectively. It’s similar for windows 7 and 8, you just have to find the exact name of the folder. Maybe using wildcards would work, not sure, just thought of that.

@JJ-Fullmer since the script deletes drivers, would you be interested in sharing how you deploy drivers?

Bob Henderson

Ah ok, that makes sense.

The way I was reading it was that this would make it so you didn’t need to sysprep , almost as a replacement, which is why i got confused. Even more so with the fun of SIDS and such.

JJ Fullmer

@Bob-Henderson Well just sysprep is one method. I just add in a lot of extra stuff. Like cleaning up windows update, making sure chkdsk isn’t going to need to run when you upload. Cleaning up various temporary files, creating a imageversion log, making sure the time is synced properly to prevent possible domain join issues, rearming windows activation, defragging the hard drive, removing all drivers manually. Sometimes sysprep doesn’t work, or sometimes it removes more than you want. I’ve done both with an without sysprep. I have found without sysprep and utilizing the methods in this script to make my image hardware independent to be much faster and smoother.
But to each their own I just thought some other people might find something useful in it because It’s full of little snippets that answer questions and problems I had for years.

Quazz

@Bob-Henderson The way I understand it it’s used to prep images regardless of whether or not you use sysprep. As such, it’s not a replacement for your current method, just a way to help you prepare for it.

I have something similar to this, although much more simple and extremely specific to my environment.

Bob Henderson

Forgive me for ignorance, but why wouldn’t I just sysprep? I mean, it works, has worked for years, so…

JJ Fullmer

Oh how to use the thing,
Copy paste into your favorite text editor (sublime text, notepad++, scite, or what have you) and save as ImagePrep.bat (or whatever you want as long as it’s .bat) I reccomend having it on a file share so you can run it from there and always have the most up to date version ready to run on a computer you want to upload a hardware independent image.

I have many other scripts I’ve implemented into my FOG imaging workflow that I am happy to share if people want to see them.
Like a firstLogon or a one time automatic admin login so you can have a firstLogon/setupcomplete script without sysprep.
Backup and restore scripts for user files and settings when migrating a user’s local files to a new image
And so many more. I’m still working to make them more universal and I really really want to find a way to not have plain text passwords in them for mounting shares with net use. (Virtual Smart Cards maybe, but they currently look complicated)
