@robertkwild good news, its worked!

before i did “quick inventroy” it listed the vm in “hosts” and then i clicked on “capture” to the image i just created, i used the “windows 10” as the os drop down

i syspreped windows 11, it failed first time, due to some program stopping it, all i had to do was remove it in powershell

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.BingNews* | Remove-AppxPackage

then try again

sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown

it captured it fine, then i deleted that vm, created a new vm, disabled “secure boot”, network booted to my fog clicked on “deploy image” chose the windows 11 image

and the end result i get a nice windows 11 vm desktop

@AlexPDX @Sebastian-Roth it was something simple in the end

BIOS > advanced > system options

i turned off/unticked - configure storage controller for VMD

basically its there version of RAID, untick it and its AHCI

hi all,

got a good way installing windows 11 on esxi, bypassing tpm check, as thats where i got the error saying “your pc doesnt meet all the requirements”

ive also on the vm disabled/unticked “secure boot” so i can still network boot my fog server

heres the how to

https://www.virten.net/2021/10/windows-11-on-vmware-esxi-this-pc-cant-run-windows-11/

basically, when you come to the “enter your key screen” press shift+f10

REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassTPMCheck /t REG_DWORD /d 1

my end goal is to sysprep it and capture it to fog and then see if i can deploy it to new vm!

thanks,
rob

@george1421 result!!!

i bought a HP NIC as i have a HP laptop and it works

this one if anyone is inteerested

https://www.amazon.co.uk/HP-N7P47AA-Network-DesignJet-Adapters-Black/dp/B01618WGMY?th=1

as literally star tech, ugreen, tp link, realtek or asix chipsets didnt work

@george1421 the good thing is, you only need to do the reg hack and app removal on the GI, once you sysprep the GI and capture it, when you deploy it, you have to do nothing and you can deploy to multiple laptops, vms etc

the pic i shows you shows a laptop with TPM enabled, using the deployed image

@Tom-Elliott sorry took my time in replying back tom my bad

in the end i updated my stable to the latest 1.5.10.1650 and now when i capture the image it saves it as a folder not a file

@tcthorne i thought i resolved it by updating fog to 1.5.10.1650 ie the latest at the time but guess what the error has come back and i have no idea why its come back, the last resort is to update to working branch ie 1.6

@rodluz

ok scrap the local GPO done this and it works

reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v firstlogon /t REG_SZ /d powershell -noexit -ep bypass c:\users\admin\sysprep\firstlogon.ps1 /f

@rodluz

solved…

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/dn789190(v=ws.11)

i used a computer startup script

script name:
C:\Users\admin\sysprep\firstlogon.ps1

script parameters:
powershell -ep Bypass

and heres the script (just made a rough one to test and every command ran as when i logged in after the pc syspreped all commands worked)

start-process 'C:\Users\admin\sysprep\Firefox Setup 138.0.exe' /S -wait

Remove-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\AdventNet\DesktopCentral\DCAgent\" -Name "ImagedComputer" -Force

Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\AdventNet\DesktopCentral\DCAgent\SystemDetails" -Force

Set-LocalUser -Name "user01" -PasswordNeverExpires $true
Set-LocalUser -Name "it" -PasswordNeverExpires $true

remove-item -path C:\Users\admin\sysprep -recurse -force

@rodluz thanks but doesnt this need a VL key to run those scripts?

ok ive done this and it works

<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

                </RunSynchronousCommand>
            </RunSynchronous>
        </component>

and my bat is just this

@echo off

C:\Users\admin\sysprep\SophosSetup.exe --quiet

rmdir /Q /S C:\Users\admin\sysprep

this works but when i try to run a powershell command that needs admin it cant do it ie

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File path-to-ps1

in there i just have this

Set-LocalUser -Name “user” -PasswordNeverExpires $true

but everytime after the sysprep and it loads into windows it hasnt done it as it hasnt got admin privs

so how come cmd had admin but ps1 doesnt?

any idea please

thanks,
rob

hi all,

turned off “secure boot” obviously to use fog to deploy a image to a pc after windows is installed turned back on “secure boot” but now windows cant boot and going into automatic repair mode and cant boot windows

is there anyway to turn on secure boot after windows and windows still works?

thanks,
rob

@Tom-Elliott is there a way to find out where its failing

i have the PCAP file if interested?

@Tom-Elliott thanks, now i know the “autoexec.ipxe…not found” is fine its just a warning and it ignores it and continues

but why then does this laptop fail to boot into fog and a vm does boot into fog?

is it because the laptop uses a usb/ethernet adapter

@Tom-Elliott

that didnt work, changed to “snponly.efi” but still same error about autoexec.ipxe

but when i do a ls on /tftpboot i cant see “autoexec.ipxe” is this why

ls -lah /tftpboot

is it because i havnt got a dns entry for fog since i changed to using https?

what is interesting is that fog works on a vm ie it says “autoexec.ipxe” not found and it continues to load the fog menu where i can deploy my image

so its only happening on new uefi firmware looks like it

hi all,

when i installed fog for the first time on a new OS alma 9.5 (old fog was on centos 7) i turned on https but now my clients cant connect to fog, they get this

i think this is happening because i enabled https, is there anyway to turn it off or am i stuck with it on

thanks,
rob

hi all,

I copied my image from old fog server to new fog server via rsync -a, I also created a new image on the web portal and i can successfully deploy it to a new pc but on the web portal it doesnt specify the size

anyway i can do this please as in terminal when i do a du on the image i get the size 15G

thanks,
rob
