I just want to see what’s easier to maintain, ex fog client vs using sed command. Where it says computer name, do I replace it with a computer name I want to start? Ex NY-WB- is what I would like to start as a prefix

@george1421

George, I’m 90% good with deployment. I was able to get a working script to deploy the Lenovo drivers. I saw how to use deploy bug to see where it was failing.I ended up using an older script you put. So here’s my issues.

• I used the fog client and joined the domain successfully, this is windows 10 build 1709. I saw last min where you said to add the pinstall command in the setup complete.exe to install the drivers. How do I use the sed command to copy another setupcomplete.cmd from the fog server instead of reimagining? I looked at some examples, wanted to test using the sed command to copy the updated unattend.xml and setupcomplete.exe, but not sure where to put it in for example, fog.ad file. I get syntax errors.

@george1421 ok, now I understand. I just made that change. I had it set on no because I was following deployment research website. I’m going to try that approach. I’ll post up some updates when I get everything accomplished. Thanks again for guiding me through this.

@george1421 I’m a little confused, sorry. Should I remove the task from MDT to not sysprep the machine and run a custom script to sysprep & use a custom unattend.xml? I have these in the bottom of my rules page, not sure where to see the closing status message.

SkipAdminPassword=YES
SkipProductKey=YES
SkipComputerName=YES
SkipDomainMembership=YES
SkipUserData=YES
SkipLocaleSelection=YES
SkipTaskSequence=NO
SkipTimeZone=YES
SkipApplications=YES
SkipBitLocker=YES
SkipSummary=YES
SkipRoles=YES
SkipCapture=NO
SkipFinalSummary=YES

@george1421 or should I let the VM boot after MDT deployment, create a cmd script to sysprep again and also point the setupcomplete.cmd and unattended.xml to their correct spots?

@george1421 George, I started playing around with the copy script and worked good copying to the Windows 10 client, but I didn’t do fog as yet. I just booted the VM after MDT to test it out and got through setupcomplete.cmd to copy over, but looks like the unattend.xml didn’t make the changes. Any ideas? I didn’t see the c:\drivers folder create even though I used WSIM to add the line? Do I need to call the command to create the folder drivers as well?

@george1421 hey George, so I see what the problem was with WSUS. I thought the content folder can be put anywhere since it said remote path. I tried my NAS both network path and iscsi, but still locks up the downloads. I did research and said it’s not supported in a network share, so I put it back on the local.

Now for the Office 2013 updates, I found this online to extract the service pack 1 and I was able to get the updates faster compared to WSUS.

I’m working on the unattend file and will work on copying files this weekend. The offline script I was following sucked and didn’t work no matter what I tried. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for leading me in the right direction.

@george1421 and when I get to this process on copying files, where should I tell Fog to copy the unattend.xml? Into c:\windows\system32\sysprep? Or the panther folder?

@george1421 ok, I’m gonna try that route for the updates. Just curious, what classifications do you use in WSUS for Windows 10? I selected Windows 10 and windows 10 updates and latest build I think, don’t remember.

@george1421 said in Help with Win10 Driver injection:

.\DeploymentShare\Scripts\client\DeploymentShare\Scripts\client\update.bat

yea it’s driving me nuts here, lol. The reason I was gonna go this route was because for some reason, the WSUS is taking forever to download the updates. I let it run for a few hours and I also noticed some errors in WSUS it was trying to download Office 2013 Service pack 1. Would you know on how to speed that process? I have Server 2012 R2 and tried things like increasing the Application Pool that I saw online on IIS. I’ll play around with the offline again shortly as well.

@george1421

George,

Not sure if you’ve done this with MDT, but I’m having issues using WSUS Offline updates for Windows 10 Ver 1709. I got a reference from IT Bros, but still errors out when updating with updates. https://theitbros.com/integrate-wsus-updater-with-mdt-2013-to-deploy-windows-10/

I even tried looking at the YouTube link, but still fails, won’t run Windows Offline install, but will mount the drive with no issues. Do you know another way?

@george1421 lol, yea sometimes I slip a few more questions last minute ok, I heard of them and I’ll start working on things. I’ll reply back in a few days or so letting you know how I made out. Thanks again for your help.

@george1421 Ok, I’ll work on getting them automated. One more question. So the file you’re referring to called sysprepper.cmd is what you built to copy the files? Or can I look it up online to create that file? Where in the task sequence do I put it in to copy those files? Can you send a screen shot for example? I’m assuming copying the custom unattended.xml file replaces the one MDT uses during deployment?

@george1421

I think they’re mostly coming from the ini files. I would need to check.
If worse comes to worse, I can boot the vm, add in the third party apps and when I’m done with everything, just run light touch to sysprep it, correct? Also if I go that route, where should I configure the unattended file? From the unattended tab in MDT? Or directly on the vm like c:\windows\panther for example? I think the unattended file I got confused with last year on where to edit and think that’s another reason why my drivers didn’t transfer over.

@george1421 Ok, my bad, I meant reference WIMs. But for example, how do you handle in house apps to install and configure automatically? We have a few apps that’s in house and we need to configure the settings after install, 1 app we need to configure to point to the G drive to a server for example and our old way we used the USB and bring down the image with Acronis, which I don’t want to do anymore, know what I mean?

@george1421 ok, I get it now. I’ll play around with it this weekend. And thanks to you, I have a better grasp with MDT 2013 update 2. Do you do what most do like have 2 WIMS? Example, one will be a reference image with like antivirus, office 2013, VNC with up to date windows updates and the other WIM will be a little fatter with other company in house apps that are a little harder to auto install?

@MotD Hey there Motd. So I took a break off of this for a while due to being busy with work projects.
So when you added your drivers onto the fog server for Lenovo, the product name worked compared to for example Lenovo ThinkPad T570?

Hello, all,

I’ve been a member for about 2 years now I think and can’t thank you all enough with tutorials I’ve seen
on the site. Ok, so here’s my dilemma. I took a break from all of this because I got swapped with my current position (like desktop support for example). I understand how MDT 2013 works now and all, but has anyone come across after finishing a Windows 10 reference image the administrator account doesn’t have rights to the windows store?

Is there a script to allow the account not do so? I was trying to see maybe I can create another account during the MDT to log in after deployment? haven’t found anything on line as yet to add to the MDT task.

Also has anyone used Fog to deploy to different Lenovo ThinkPad models? example, X1 Carbons, T560, T570 & T580? I know there were codes written up for specifically Dell, but just need more steps on preparing for Lenovo laptops. I want to go with the MDT route instead of using audit mode, feel like MDT is the way to go with the unattend.xml, etc…

thank you again.

@george1421

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.
