    • RE: FOG Client Service Not Starting Automatically

      I’ve just observed the same issue with client 0.11.2 on Windows 10 (no issues on Windows 7). The only difference is I don’t have the client installed on the image. Using the msi file and installing post deployment. Reason: cause we’re still on a old version and I don’t want to reupload the image when we update FOG.

      Anyway… From my SetupComplete.cmd file I launch a SetupComplete.ps1 file. After installing the client from here I just created a scheduled task to start the service (Start-Service -Name FOGService) at startup.

    • RE: Uninstall and install Citrix receiver.

      @msi Well, then that makes things easy. Just upload your exe and add the /silent argument.

    • RE: Windows boots as if new

      When you boot to Audit mode it puts you into the default Administrator account. Is this the user account you are talking about or did you create another account? Normally, whatever changes you make to this account during this time are what get copied over into new profiles after OOBE.

    • RE: Add new standard user on windows 10

      @abu.raju said in Add new standard user on windows 10:

      @x23piracy I am retentively new to FOG. I would appreciate if you guys show me how to do this using snapin. Thanks all of you!

      NOTE: This is not working for me. When I run the file locally, it creates the user account. When I attempt running from FOG it does not. I can get it to do other things, but not create the account.
      Ok, here is how I would do it.

      First, create a new PowerShell script. Open up PowerShell ISE and copy/paste the following. Replace with your information.

      $Name = "TestUser"
      $FullName = "Test User"
      $Password = "Password123" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
      $Description = "A standard user account."
      
      New-LocalUser -Name $Name -FullName $FullName -Password $Password -Description $Description
      

      Save it. Name it whatever you want.

      Open your browser. Go to your FOG server page. Click on the Snapins icon, then click Create New Snapin. Fill in the details. Before sure to select the PowerShell option from the Snapin Template. Click the Choose File button to pick your PowerShell script and upload it. Then click the Add button at the bottom (not in screenshot).
      alt text

      After that you’ll need to assign the snapin to your host(s) and when you image it will (by default) run the snapin after deployment.

      Why not just create the local user doing sysprep?

    • RE: Joining to Domain

      @tom-elliott said in Joining to Domain:

      First, disconnect the domain.
      Second, install FOG Client.
      Third, configure the host/s with the AD Joining Information in the GUI.

      Only needed if sysprepping.

      Fourth, disable the auto startup of the client.
      Fifth, sysprep the machine with shutdown

      Done sysprep.

      Sixth, create capture task.
      Seventh, restart/power on machine.

      If doing SysPrep, don’t forget to add something to your SetupComplete.cmd to turn the FOG client back on!

    • RE: Service Fog Client

      @zago123 said in Service Fog Client:

      @psycholiquid

      why? what would be the problem of letting him get started?

      The problem is when the client starts reaching out to the FOG server before Windows is completely done getting ready. The client can cause the host to reboot before Windows is finished setting up… which is a bad thing.

      I believe the latest SmartInstallers have the FOG Service start type set to manual by default.

    • RE: Trouble executing PowerShell script through Fog

      @Oasis So, just from experience, this probably isn’t going to work the way you want to.

      Get-AppxPackage will only return AppxPackages that the user running the command has (SYSTEM). It will also only be removing them from the SYSTEM profile… which won’t really do anything.

      You’ll want to add the AllUsers flag.

      Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Where-Object -Property Name -Match <packagename> | Remove-AppxPackage
      

      Or maybe this might work?

      Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Where-Object -Property Name -Match <packagename> | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers

    • RE: FOG - Single Snappin

      The screenshot in the 2nd or 3rd post very clearly indicated that the installer is a .exe. You do not want/need to use the msi template.

      Before uploading anything to fog you should be trying to install the application silently on a computer. Try opening a command prompt and typing the filename with /S after it. It’s an InstallShield installer, so if it supports silent installation that will be the switch for it.

      Spacing between “Open Source Computer Cloning Solution” and the icons needs increased. I actually like how in the current version that’s written in gray.

    • RE: Windows 10 - Start menu freezing after feature update

      Better fix:

      The following PowerShell snippet appears to fix the previously reported issues that appeared after the Feature Update to Build 1703.
      
      # Removes WebCache and INetCache folders from Default Profile.
      Remove-Item -Path C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache -Force -Recurse
      Remove-Item -Path C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache -Force -Recurse
      
      $Users = (Get-ChildItem -Path "$env:SystemDrive\Users").FullName
      
      # Deletes WebCache and INetCache on all non-hidden users.
      ForEach($User in $Users) {
          Remove-Item -Path $User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache -Force -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
          Remove-Item -Path $User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache -Force -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
      } 
      

      This fixes it for all new and existing user profiles.

    • RE: Change default storage image location.

      I think this might already be possible by creating a new Storage Node/Group or modifying the existing. I haven’t done it, but it might be worth looking into until someone that actually knows what they are talking about responds.

    • RE: FOG - Single Snappin

      @msaglioc99 Ok, then until you can find a way to install the application silently, uploading it to FOG is useless.

      Since it’s an InstallShield installer, you may be able to create a response file. Basically, this records the settings you choose during your installation and lets use that file to silent install the application.

      To try this, open a command prompt at the location of your file. Type TeamMate_R11.0.2_Desktop.exe /r

      The installer should appear to run normally. Install the application the way your normally would.

      Find the response file. Default location will be C:\Windows\setup.iss. The modified data on the file should match the time you ran the installer.

      More directions can be found here:

    • RE: Windows 10 - Start menu freezing after feature update

      I’ve seen the article where those additional files were listed; however, they were not present on our systems so they were not included in the fix.

      I deployed the solution posted above via SCCM to all Windows 10 systems and it’s solved our issues.

    • RE: Delete Image - Migrate Hosts

      Thankfully, I can type the image name into the Hosts search box and it lists all the hosts. Then I move them into a ‘TestGroup’, change the image, then delete them from that group. It works, but it’s annoying.

      Nvm. Fixed. Ran the following from the troubleshooting page.

      DELETE FROM `hosts` WHERE `hostID` = '0';
      DELETE FROM `hostMAC` WHERE hmID = '0' OR `hmHostID` = '0';
      DELETE FROM `groupMembers` WHERE `gmID` = '0' OR `gmHostID` = '0' OR `gmGroupID` = '0';
      DELETE FROM `snapinGroupAssoc` WHERE `sgaID` = '0' OR `sgaSnapinID` = '0' OR `sgaStorageGroupID` = '0';
      DELETE from `snapinAssoc` WHERE `saID` = '0' OR `saHostID` = '0' OR `saSnapinID` = '0';
      DELETE FROM `hosts` WHERE `hostID` NOT IN (SELECT `hmHostID` FROM `hostMAC` WHERE `hmPrimary` = '1');
      DELETE FROM `hosts` WHERE `hostID` NOT IN (SELECT `hmHostID` FROM `hostMAC`);
      DELETE FROM `hostMAC` WHERE `hmhostID` NOT IN (SELECT `hostID` FROM `hosts`);

    • RE: Snapin Powershell 32/64 bit issue?

      You may have better luck using a .cmd file and using something like:

      net user <username> <password> /ADD
      

      I’ve seen similar issues posted regarding trying to do this via PowerShell as a snapin.

    • RE: Surface Pro 4 registration issues

      Surface dongle model 1663 works, but I’ve also had this issue with the model 1821?-ish and the official docking station.

      It’ll boot to FOG, but cannot deploy image or do inventory registration. Normal unplug/plugin trick didn’t work.

      The 1663 model will work with latest ipxe without having to unplug.
