Replaced fogservice.zip from a backup prior to my last update. Domain joins are working again.

Haven’t tried this but Tom posted this in the development thread for reverting to earlier version.

I’m having an issue with AD joins that might be related. My host names are not changing with service starts but do change after image downloads. I’m going to try recompiling hostnamechanger today. I’ll update my thread in the Windows forum as I go.

Ok some progress.

Checkboxes: Appears to be an issue with my Chrome browser. Checkboxes work normally in IE.

Log: Not showing activity related to AD because of Windows Firewall settings.

AD Joins failing: Now see a “padding is invalid message”.

Do I need to recompile the hostnamechanger module and encrypt the AD password again after updating to svn 2868 from svn 1858?

Current SVN 2868. This was working in previous versions.

Join Domain after image checkbox does not stay checked after updating hosts. None of the previously AD registered hosts have checkbox checked any more.

The fog log on the clients does not show any AD activity but that is to be expected based on the checkbox status.

For now I will do some housekeeping. Some of the images can be deleted and some of them can be stored offline.

Thanks!

Searches are relatively responsive but “list all images” takes about 5 minutes and hangs the browser tab until it is done. This isn’t critical but it would be desirable for this to work.

Current: svn 2868 on CentOS 6.6

First noticed this after I updated from svn 1858 to what I think was svn 2759 (or right around).

I bring the following up in case there is a helpful clue:

-No errors found in logs

-FOG_MEMORY_LIMIT=1024 made no detectable difference

-Storage nodes work but dashboard disk info fails to connect to them. Not trying to solve this unless it is a symptom of a more significant issue. Credentials stored work to connect to database through SSH. I did have to change the default image directory to /home/fog. This issue predates image list issue

-I have 43 images taking up just under 1TB.

VMWare is working again for me. There was one important step that I was missing. It was expressed clearly by the OP. There was even a screenshot. I have even done it hundreds of times correctly in the past.

It simply turned out that I have been forgetting to tick the “Generalize” box! Sysprep wasn’t processing anything from the Specialize phase of my unattend.

I have only had luck using Visual Studio 2008. None of the Express versions have worked for me. None of the newer standard versions seem to work either.

[quote=“jmeyer, post: 32641, member: 6537”]Have you reboot your VM before and after sysprep to see if this happen ?[/quote]

VM reboot after sysprep completes normally.

Update: Gave up on VMWare for this. I switched to VirtualBox and the process is working perfectly except that I get prompts for a hostname when windows starts up after deploying to a physical machine. Actually it initially prompted for the hostname and timezone. My unattend (which works correctly with my old VMWare snapshots as well as with MDT deployments) originally declared the Timezone and ComputerName in the specialize pass. Adding a Timezone value in the OOBE pass fixed the prompt for time zone but adding the ComputerName tag there doesn’t make a difference. I have tried leaving the ComputerName tag out of both sections and not surprisingly the hostname prompt still appears when the physical machine boots after deployment.

Admittedly my unattend file is somewhat complex as it does a few things such as configure RDP, enable Administrator, disable WER. Tomorrow I will try a very basic unattend file but thought I would see if any ideas came up that would save me the troubleshooting time.

Thanks

This is working pretty well for me. Much credit to others on this forum who came up with most of this…
