Ok, thanks for the explaination George, appreciate your help.

@george1421

George, ok, thanks for explaining that to me. Now I understand why I saw _x86_64 and I changed the
folder in the osn back to x64. I guess where I’m lost is for example, I installed the Lenovo sccm drivers for a T570 laptop, right? then in each folder, I took any inf’s I can find and put it in the x64 folder. The structure I followed on your other pages and in the file is /images/Drivers/ThinkPad T570 W10DG/Windows 7/x64.

I did Windows 7 because when I ran the fog debug, it came out osname=Windows 7. Now my question is in the fog.drivers script for example, do I change osn to osname=Windows 7? I know I tried that yesterday and it didn’t work.
When I changed the folder back to x64, during driver deployment, it goes quickly and says done instead of failed, which is good, but the drivers never make it to the T570…

Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

@george1421 @Quazz

Thank you both. George, I know you said you’re still working on the driver injection-2017, but I’m testing it out right now as I’m trying to understand more about Linux commands to put under my belt, you know. Quazz/George,
in the fog.copydrivers, I put in where it says && arch= and arch= I put x64 and removed where it had 86.

I did a command in the Fog OS called uname -m which gave me the architecture of x86_64. Now I thought
under the architecture on the fog server, I’d call the folder _x86_64 instead of x64. Is that not correct? I was fighting with this yesterday, but working at it now, will post once I have an update. Please tell me if I have this correct, attached the pic.

Hey George, hope all is good. So I’ve taken a break from this as I got busy with my job, so I’m almost there with this.
I copied and pasted the fog driver script and also ran a debug to confirm on the Lenovo laptop, it’s dmidecode -s system-version. Now my question is that for example, the version name for the machine is Lenovo T570 W10DG ( a zero by the way, not an o) how am I supposed to load the drivers? I have the structure as /images/Drivers/$machine/$osn/$arch, so /images/Drivers/Lenovo T570 W10DG/win7/x64 and I downloaded the drivers for sccm for example and let them in their folder structure, ex; network, display, etc… with all the files in it.

My assumption was that fog will look throughout the subfolders under x64 for the correct drivers, or am I wrong? I then decided to take all of the inf drivers from the subfolder an past them in the x64 folder, but I still couldn’t get the drivers to install. Please look at the fog.driver file:

#!/bin/bash
ceol=tput el;
manu=dmidecode -s system-manufacturer;
case $manu in
[Ll][Ee][Nn][Oo][Vv][Oo])
machine=$(dmidecode -s system-version)
;;
[Dd][Ee][Ll][Ll])
machine=$(dmidecode -s system-product-name) #pruduct is typo, just realized sorry :(
;;
)
machine=$(dmidecode -s system-product-name) # Technically, we can remove the dell one as it’s the “default”
;;
esac
[[ -z $machine ]] && return #assuming you want it to break if it is not lenovo or dell?
machine="${machine%"${machine##[![:space:]]}"}" #Removes Trailing Spaces

Quick hack to find out if the installed OS image is a x86 or x64

system64="/ntfs/Windows/SysWOW64/regedit.exe" # sloppy detect if 64bit or not
[[ ! -f $system64 ]] && arch=“x86” || arch=“x64”

#this section has been updated to bring the osn names in line

with how the Dell CABs are defined

case $osid in
5) osn=“win7” ;;
6) osn=“win8” ;;
7) osn=“win8.1” ;;
9) osn=“win10” ;;

dots “Preparing Drivers”

below creates local folder on imaged pc

this can be anywhere you want just remember

to make sure it matches throughout! (case IS important here)

clientdriverpath="/ntfs/Windows/DRV"
remotedriverpath="/images/Drivers/$machine/$osn/$arch"

if [ -d $remotedriverpath ]; then

[[ ! -d $clientdriverpath ]] && mkdir -p “$clientdriverpath” >/dev/null 2>&1
echo -n “In Progress”

#there’s 3 ways you could handle this,
#driver cab file, extracted driver files or both
#so on the server put extracted driver files to match below folder tree
#i.e. Model Latitude E5410, Windows 7 x86 image would be:
#/fog/Drivers/Latitude E5410/win7/x86

rsync -aqz “$remotedriverpath” “$clientdriverpath” >/dev/null 2>&1
[[ ! $? -eq 0 ]] && handleError “Failed to download driver information for [$machine/$osn/$arch]”

#this next bit adds driver location on pc to devicepath in registry (so sysprep uses it to reference)

remember to make devicepath= match the path you’ve used locally

#also do not remove %SystemRoot%\inf
#and to add more locations just use ; in between each location

regfile="/ntfs/Windows/System32/config/SOFTWARE"
key="\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DevicePath"
devpath="%SystemRoot%\DRV;%SystemRoot%\inf;";
reged -e “$regfile” &>/dev/null <<EOFREG
ed $key

echo -e “\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b${ceol}Done”; # this just removes “In Progress and replaces it with done :-)”

@george1421 George, 2 more questions as I’m starting to get the hang of MDT 2013 and fog. How do I put in the task to change the registry to put c:\drivers for where Fog will drop the drivers for the Lenovo machines? And the other thing that’s giving me an issue, where else in the fog.drivers script do I edit c:\drivers?

Other than that, I’m feeling confident I’ll be able to deploy our fleet.

@Jamaal said in FOG Post install script for Win Driver injection:

@george1421 George, I think I got the name correct for the Lenovo, getting further than before. I remember I had the name structure as ThinkPad T560 under the drivers folder, but getting stuck at Preparing Drivers… in progress. In the task menu on the web, it only shows like 1% and not moving. Any idea on why that’s happening?

I think I see what is the issue. Just that the screen moves too fast and said no such file or directory and it reboots.

@george1421 Ok, I’ll try that tomorrow when I go back to work. Thanks for the info, but can you tell me about the joining of the domain? or maybe it’s best if I use a script to just join it?

Hello, George,

1st off, thanks for all of your documentation on this. I’m getting further than before in my deployment.
I’m however stuck on a few things, so I’ll provide as much info as you need.
Fog server running on Ubuntu 16.04 server
Fog server version: 1.3.0-RC-10.

So here are the machines and other things we have in our environment:
laptops: Lenovo ThinkPad T540p, ThinkPad T560, Lenovo ThinkPad T530, and other lower models.
Desktops: Lenovo ThinkCentre M800

I used MDT 2013 Update 2 as you were saying about MDT and I took an image on our VMware and deployed the image on a ThinkPad T560 from the fog server I have on our VMware. On my fog server, there is already an image folder, so I created under there drivers/ThinkPad T560/win7/x64. 0_1482360759122_Lenovo.docx

Now do I need to create another subfolder under the root like images 2 or something like that? Sorry, I’m a Windows guy and still getting used to Linux. I also replaced the fog.postdownload with what you have in this forum and ran that chmod command and looked like it took it.

When I deploy the image to the T560, it 1st gave me an error with the fog.driver script from in the forum that failed to load the driver, had it just Thinkpad T560, had to do ThinkPad T560, then it would get stuck on in process during the driver loading and when it was preparing it for the first time, I would get errors during syspre that it had errors, forgot the exact error, so I would restart it and get an error windows rebooted and reinstalling Windows during the sysprep.

Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? also I’m unable to join the machine to my test domain. I did the hostnamechanger and did the encrypt, but still won’t join my test domain, the account is not a domain admin, but I gave it delegate to the test OU I created. Does it need the hostnamechanger for 1.3.0? I verified the options in AD on the console are checked off.

Look at the Word attachment I’ve attached.
