Could it be that was a RAW image deployment error vs a multiple partition image deployment? Yes, imaging is going well.
We had to downgrade the TPM from 2.0 to 1.2, since we are not doing UEFI.

Are there any BIOS updates/was it working on an older BIOS version? Have you tried any other kernels?

Working:
Dell Precision 3510 with USB C
-8157 (trunk) May work with 1.2 as I had a dirty partition giving me trouble.
-Default Kernel
-Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable)

Image looks to be working now. Read up on the new Fog Client before I recorded my sysprep. I really appreciate all the help!

I’ve ran into dirty partition issues before. I should’ve known I should go over the initial Dell partitions with badger blood and napalm before I build my image.

3510nosysprep is the image name.

Ran the debug and did a fixpart. It said it found remnants from a prior partition, I removed that, and then selected A for MBR option. It seems to have not wrecked data on the drive and booted back into the Audit Mode for Windows 10.

Recorded image using Multiple Partition - Single Disk No resize. Since there was no errors with that, I then put that image on another machine. It also booted up into Audit mode. I’ll run my sysprep file then record the image again and see how it works. Thank you for the help so far.

@george1421 I have several for testing, until I get the image built.

Recorded RAW image and then tried putting it on another laptop of exact specs.

Going to do a debug capture next.

Got the following message:

@Tom-Elliott Haha, I didn’t say what it wasn’t doing. So it gets to the point in the screenshot and doesn’t get past that part (left overnight). Below is the screenshot when setting it to Single Disk - Resizable. I’ve also tried Multiple Partition Image - All Disks.

@george1421 Secure Boot is disabled. I have it disabled to do Legacy boot and PXE Boot.

I’m having trouble capturing an image of Dell Precision 3510 with USB-C. These have nvme SSDs. We have Dell 3510’s without USB-C that I got working in FOG 1.2 with the newest kernel downloadable through the menu. The image type was Multiple Partition - Single Disk.

The newer 3510s have USB-C and the BIOS cannot be downgraded to match the prior 3510s we have.

I decided to upgrade to the trunk version of FOG (Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS) and as I’ve read it works better with nvme disks. When trying to capture an image I get the following screen. Changing the image type doesn’t seem to help.

I would also mention a part in the guide to check the box in [B]Host Menu > Join Domain after image task.[/B]

Great tutorial. I was trying to follow some of the hyperlinks in the guide, but they’re not working?
" So what we want to do is look at the DriverPacks repository - here"
“20. First download the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) for Windows 7 – Here”
“vi. You can also configure Taskbar and Start Menu settings to apply to all users. Technet Article”

Question about the driver packs. Does it search for the best driver out of that /inf/ folder or the first one it comes to? I’m planning on dumping the extracted driver cab files from Dell’s website for each model.
