Word - temp environmental variable

@John-Johnson But if you fix it after the image has been deployed then its ok?
If you fix it after its deployed does it fix it for everyone or only the user you fixed on?
-
@george1421 It appeared to be fixed. I checked it under my login and it worked. I took it off the domain, sysprepped it and pushed it back up. After it finished I logged in again and got the same error so the fix did not really work.
-
@John-Johnson Again, I want to restate this is not a FOG issue.
You are sysprepping it so that is fine/good.
- Are you using an unattend.xml file? If so, that is good.
- If you are using the unattend.xml file does it contain this line:
<CopyProfile>true</CopyProfile>?? - And when you fixed the reference image, were you logged in as the
Administrator?
If you answered no to any of the questions above, I understand how/why the fix is gone. Because when you sysprep the image all profiles are reset except the administrator’s account. When you have the copyprofile set to true then when you sysprep the image the
Administrator’s account is copied to the default profile. And the default profile is the basis for all new users after imaging is complete. -
@george1421 I am using an unattend.xml file and the fix was done under administrator. Yes the line is in the sysprep file. Our file is called unattend64.xml to keep it separate from the 32 bit machines.
-
@Tom-Elliott I’m not blaming it on fog. I know it has something to do with the way this machine is handling Office but I can’t figure out what is different than any other machine I image.

No problem, just trying to make it clear to future readers of this thread where the problem is not.

Understood, we use a similar structure for the unattend.xml file. That is disappointing that this setting did not remain after sysprep. At this point I’m not sure what to look at next.
-
@george1421 I am thinking that maybe this is a result of upgrading to the Anniversary update after installing Office. It has a way of changing things. So I am going to rebuild, do the Anniversary update and then install Office.
-
@John-Johnson While I can’t speak for your process, we just completed the 1607 refresh of our golden image. We use MDT to go from DVD to our golden image (and not go the upgrade route). The image works properly in the test lab and we are about ready to release it for use.
I can tell you for Win10 CBB v1607 you MUST install the Sep 20 accumulative update or your systems will not get updated from WSUS (ever). There are documented bugs in 1607 (big time).
-
I was able to make an image successfully. Windows 10 is a different animal and you have to do things just right or it will fail.
-
@John-Johnson What is it that you did? I’m asking for future readers.

I kept it offline until I could get Administrator activated. Once logged into Administrator my user account was safe from Microsoft’s unwanted pushed apps.
