    • RE: Windows 10 Deployment from existing machine as reference using sysprep

      Thanks for the replies @george1421

      You’re definitely on the right track. I ended up figuring it out finally. Since I had already followed the steps to make WinPE available to boot from Fog, I booted the failed target machine using WinPE and started looking more closely at the sysprep logs.

      I discovered that Lenovo uses the same sysprep tool to deploy their new machines and they left the majority of their sysprep stuff in the Panther directory, including an unattend.xml. Since I wasn’t giving it a fully qualified path, it obviously checks the Panther directory first where it grabbed theirs instead of mine. The did clean up some of their sysprep stuff, so the drivers and sources directories referenced by their xml config files weren’t there. Had they been there, their sysprep might have even worked for me.

      And, despite being somewhat light on required settings, once my unattend.xml was found and used, it worked fine.

      Thanks again!
