trying to sysprep windows 10 to upload to fog. PLEASE HELP

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Joe-Schmitt
does it matter where I place the commands in the file?

[Joe Schmitt]

@ryan.mckenzie The lines for setupcomplete should be placed at the end (since once the restart command is issued, the script can’t do anything else).

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Joe-Schmitt Thank you again! I am going to try it as soon as I can get my base image configured.

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Joe-Schmitt ok I believe I have everything correct… Now I am getting a restart loop after the image is captured… Any thoughts on this?

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Joe-Schmitt can upload my unattend file if you would like me too

[Joe Schmitt]

@ryan-mckenzie how many times does it restart? Because it should normally restart 3 or so times (so the client can undo the generalization done by sysprep)

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Joe-Schmitt infinite

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Joe-Schmitt i apologize for being such a pain but I have never had this much trouble with fog before

[Joe Schmitt]

@ryan.mckenzie at this point it’s an issue with how the image is being made (either your unattend file or setupcomplete) before capturing. Could you post both?

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Joe-Schmitt Will do! give me a few minutes please

@Joe-Schmitt 2_1485876493462_unattend.xml 1_1485876493462_SetupComplete.cmd 0_1485876493461_reseal.cmd

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Joe-Schmitt here is after running sysprpep (no capture)

@Joe-Schmitt

[ryan.mckenzie]

@ryan.mckenzie once i changed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\ChildCompletion from 1 to 3 it loaded… Have you had anyone else with this problem? it seems to have saved the image and is loading at the moment.
I need to redeploy to make sure it loads correctly that way or if it gives me the same error.

[ryan.mckenzie]

@ryan.mckenzie Failed. gave me the same error message and the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\ChildCompletion is set back to 1…

[Joe Schmitt]

@ryan.mckenzie so this is definitely an issue with your unattend.xml then. Mind posting the file and maybe one of the @Moderators or @Testers, who are familiar with sysprep can take a look?

[george1421]

@Joe-Schmitt At least the Microsoft-Windows-ShellSetup section. I’ve seen (caused) this error before, but I can’t recall how or why. The section of the unattend.xml file may jog a few brain cells loose.

[JJ Fullmer]

Along with your unattend.xml (ps be sure to take out any passwords you may have in there for auto login before posting) could you give a general goal of the answer file?
i.e. make the image hardware independent
inject drivers for just this one model? Also what method are using for injecting drivers?
