    • RE: FOG Server and IP Phone TFTP server

      Just a quick update, I will post a more complete one once I have properly documented my progress.
      Since it seems too painful to work out how to get it working in windows server SBE 2011 domain controller (which I THINK seems to be similar to server 2008?) I have managed to convince the IT guy to use one of our other 3 running server 2012 instances to run the DHCP server.
      I have created a windows 2012 server VMWare VM and set the DHCP server up as per @Wayne-Workman’s excellent article https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence
      I added a Vendor class for the IP phones and the PC types listed here https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence#Example_1
      I then added the scope polices as described in the example. It is this ability to add scope policies that Windows Server 2008 is lacking.
      I find it incredible that the DHCP service cannot just be upgraded/replaced to have this functionality.

      FOG is installed on a CentOS VMWare VM that @Wayne-Workman generously helped my set up. I had installed it all but for some reason the installer did not complete (probably my fault) as /opt/fog/.fogsettings did not exist.

      I have since captured and redeployed and XP and a Win7 image for testing purposes. The next step I assume is to try and build a universal HAL image.

    • RE: Windows 10 unattend.xml (sysprep answer file) challenge

      @Wayne-Workman This is still the best guide I have found so far. Details on setting up the unattend.xml are very limited but hopefully its basically the same as for windows 7. I’m just doing some trials at the moment.

    • RE: Windows 10 Audit mode - no start menu or search

      @george1421 Thanks! FYI Strangely this Win10 install has now deleted its own Administrator account so now it won’t get past the login screen! If I find out anything more of interest should I keep posting it here ?

    • RE: Windows 10 Audit mode - no start menu or search

      @Tom-Elliott I never implied FOG did anything, just asking for help. Since people here are quite likely to use audit mode in windows 10 for purposes of installing FOG etc, I figured it was an appropriate question. Sorry I didn’t realize that “Windows Problems” not caused by FOG were not welcome.

      @george1421 Yes correct, maybe its just this instance or something, but not being able to run updates from CMD seems strange.

    • Windows 10 Audit mode - no start menu or search

      This issue seems similiar to https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6431/cortana-windows-search-breaks-in-default-profile

      Installed into VMWare Workstation
      I enter audit mode during installation and in windows the start menu and search doesn’t work.
      Tried installing VMWare tools which was successful but didn’t help
      I tried running windows update from CMD and nothing happened.
      Any clue ?

    • Unattend - Set domain user as local administrator

      Adding local accounts and domain accounts to the unattend file is straight forward. However I am having trouble giving a domain account local administrator rights.
      I can add domain username as a local user account in Administrators group, but its not quite right, the Domain needs to be set to the Domain, not the local computer name
      Doing it manually to each computer is obviously not desirable

      <UserAccounts>
                      <AdministratorPassword>
