Hey everyone,

I installed a windows 11 with the free iso image download link from Microsoft and I do not have a license for it. I did not install anything except the google chrome and graphic driver.

I used the sysprep tool in order to create a template image. Then I captured this image and I deployed this image on other machines. I followed the instructions in order to create usernames for other machines. After this, I captured the image for every machine in a different image. Now I have some questions:

1- Why do I get a blue screen with this message when I boot my machine after deploying “Your PC ran into a problem and needs a restart.” What do I miss? what was wrong with the entire process?

2- I know windows images are dependent on SID. But Having a separate image for all machines is quite crazy. How can I have one image for all machines?

3- How can I create a template image so that I can maintain that image up to date easier? I do not like to install windows 11 from scratch every time I want to propose a new update.

4- I know how Sysprep works. What is your best recommendation for installing windows 11 every week on hundred machines? Could I have an engineering solution review in this post?

Thank you for your kind attention.

Thank you @george1421 .
It was really perfect.

Since I have some issues with Sysprep, I changed my way. So let’s forget the previous story for imaging.

What is my scenario?
My clients (coffeeshop) every day login to the systems. I need to reimage machines every time they log out from systems. So that they can get fresh installed windows after turning machine on.

So what I did do for machines?
I installed windows 11 on my workstation which is Dell 3420 Precision Tower. Then, I installed a few apps like chrome, pdf reader, vlc. Finally, I put this script to the windows task scheduler in order to execute it right after the computer boot up or shut down. this script helps me to keep network boot as the first boot order (Since windows manipulate the first option to itself while it should be pxe because of the next boot). This script will run on every boot and every shutdown(just making sure pxe is first order).

What is my issue?
I simply captured the image without anything else llike sysprep. I deployed this image on the original machine which I installed windows 11 from scratch. Now Windows 11 can not boot up. First, it goes to a blue screen and it says “BAD CONFIG SYSTEM INFO”, and then it goes to the automatic recovery page and SrtTrail.txt says: “Check for installed LCU Error code: 0x3f1”

It seems fog can not capture windows 11 images correctly or can not restore the same image on the same machine.

If fog is fine, what is my mistake? :))

Hey everyone,

When I send a group deployment while every machine has a different image, some of them starts deploying but some other are stuck at a black screen. And then finally, the machine restarts. However, those hosts that restart can do the deployment from the Host menu.

Is there anything that I missed?
