@george1421 thanks managed to get it working. Issue I am encountering now is when the image is ready how fog will deploy images through pdq using snippets

I took a vm snapshot just before I sysprep, I am still trying to enter all the answerfile in order to have an automatic installation as I also would like to just keep the built in admin user enabled with a password and no other user configured on the system.

in order to had it captured I selected the capture icon, forced the task to begin, waited 5 mins and as soon as I started the VM it went straight to imaging.

thanks all, I installed windows 10 on a virtual machine on my server, did the changes in audit mode and sysprepped it using the unattended file (followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeZj1jTn2Jg ) my question is my virtual os is switched off and I need to take an image. How can I do that as when I booted to network I only have deploy image and not backup image or something like that.

I tried from fog server and going to capture image however most probably it will not work if my pc is on the network boot fog page or switched off am I right? How can I capture image after sysprepping it.

thanks for your reply @george1421 one step at a time after capturing image will fiddle on how to deploy the apps

I would like to set the image clean with just windows updates and removing the stupid games and extra stuff that comes with windows 10 and then after its deployed it automatically pulls the software that are placed inside a particular folder on the file server and installs them (so that the software setup placed is always the latest version).

How can I achieve that I know that I can setup GPO however they might take time to deploy, I would like to setup some sort of script(ideally also placed on the file server so that it can be amended when needed) so that on the first boot after being imaged it reads the script that is on the file server and the apps that specify the scrip are installed

@george1421 cool thanks, managed to get it up and running and tested across different network all seems ok, tested with undionly.kpxe and managed to boot from network

now trying to follow some guides on how to create an image with an unattended setup.

Yes all os will be windows 10, thanks, am currently installing Fog server and got stuck in the below:

• bootfile name (what should I write in the DC option 067)
• Will it work if I have a Fog server(192.168.0.xxx), DHCP (192.168.0.xxx) on a different network subnet to the client (192.168.10.xxx) - both networks can communicate with each other.

I work in a company that have approx 70pcs however they are all unbranded so I cannot just download the model drivers of all motherboards.

I am thinking of start using Fog for my deployment as it seems fairly straight forward to configure.

If I create a golden image on a virtual machine, when I boot from the pcs to pull image will they still work and then if I have missing drivers I can install manually after the image is deployed.
