Just chiming in. That subtle tiny change to the unattended.xml made no difference. I’m starting to suspect the target machines, at this point.

Today, I will try completely different target machines, and see if I still get the problem.

@george1421 said in FOG 1.5.6: Windows unattended.xml is intermittently failing to work:

@Cheetah2003 Ok what happens if you create your master image on a 70GB disk (smaller than anything currently in a productive environment) and make the last partition your drive. Then capture and deploy as single disk non-resizable. Maybe the FOG resize code is make things unstable for UEFI (not sure why your case is unique at the moment).

Before fog support single disk resizable I had code in my setup complete.cmd file that would instruct windows to expand the last partition to the size of the disk. I have to look to see if I can find that code again, but it basically automated diskpart to expand the partition.

Yeah, I considered using SetupComplete.cmd to automated that resize myself. I was studying all the fancy powershell commands to manipulate partitions. Automating the resize with powershell script should be mostly trivial.

I’ll do you one better, I’ve squeezed down my image to 50GB. When it’s ready, I will try both some raw disk captures/deploys and no-resize partition capture/deploy as well and report back. Should have more information on Monday.
