Strange that every other path to imaging seems to work fine for me. Oh well it’s not a huge issue since I don’t image hundreds of machines at a time. But in IT a minute saved is a minute I can use to catch-up on my mountain of tasks! 
For now I’ll stick to register host -> assign image -> assign task as that’s worked fine for several dozens of machines so far.
I’ll post the d1 info as soon as I can. Thanks everyone!
Problem is I overwrote my other image when I created the new one. I’ll look into creating another image and see if I can repeat the process. Thing is it doesn’t sound like the issue impacted anyone else and was pretty unique to me. I’m comfortable with closing it as fixed.
Thanks again to everyone for all your help! Very pleased with the friendliness and speed of replies on this board!
Well if they don’t match that may be part of the issue. The layout is from two identical Optiplex 7060 with 500GB drives. Top was one that imaged successfully, bottom is what I see when it doesn’t. All should match my golden image which is also an Optiplex 7060 with a 500 GB drive. I’m not sure where the disconnect would be from fogs settings, the image, and what ends up on the machine.
Again I’ve more or less gotten around this by modifying my image. So I figure if this issue is unique to me it’s probably safe to let it go. If it does start poking up from others at least my info would be a good starting point.
