Hi Sebastian,

With all of the other posts I had up, this was related to my unattend script and completely unrelated to FOG. This is resolved!

Thank you for the help.

Yeah that one is a pain to solve. There are logs in c:\windows\panther that should explain what it is having issues with.

I can say from past experiences that

1. Having the wrong product key in the unattend.xml causes problems. I’ve removed that stanza from my unattend.xml and activate windows post setup with a first run command.
2. Having the unattend.xml in the wrong place or where windows setup can’t find it will cause a problem. ALWAYS, put the unattend.xml file in c:\windows\panther that is the first place that windows setup will look. If you notice in my previous link I also call out the exact location of the unattend.xml file when I run sysprep.
3. Having 2 unattend.xml files will cause unexplained issues.
4. Having a bad driver that causes the winsetup to spontaneously reboot causes an issue. I haven’t seen this much of a problem in Win10 over Win7.
5. Having the fog client enabled when the system is sysprepped will cause a similar issue. The fog client (if used) should be installed in your golden image but configured as a disabled service, then in your setupcomplete.cmd file reenabled and started. This is to prevent the fog client from changing the system name and rebooting before winsetup and oobe have finished. ref: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOG_Client#FOG_Client_with_Sysprep

Hi George,

I took some time to manually re-create my unattend.xml following your advice above and managed to fix all of the issues. Convientely, I also no longer need to have separate unattend scripts for Windows 7 and Windows 10 MBR and Windows 10 GPT.

The new script lacks all of the manual partitioning and only contains the amd64 edits (I didn’t think I needed the x86).

After a few days of testing, everything seems to be working perfect!

Thank you for the assistance, this is resolved.

Are you sure this image deployed without an issue before? I am not exactly sure but this sounds like some kind of sysprep issue to me.

Hey Sebastian,

Sorry for the late response. You are right, as before I did have an issue with nvme drives not expanding, other issues were unrelated and were an issue with my unattend.xml. I spent some time on Thursday and Friday and manually re-created it, and re-created the image and so far I have had no issues with expanding or errors.

Those inits definitely fixed the nvme drives not expanding correctly.

This is resolved, thank you for all of the assistance!

@jemerson93 I’ve found a bug in the resize scripts just two days ago. It only effects machines with NVMe drives…

Download the latest init files here: https://dev.fogproject.org/blue/organizations/jenkins/fos/detail/master/88/artifacts/ (init.xz and init_32.xz)

Put those in /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ - rename the original ones to have a backup copy of those. As well go to the FOG web UI -> FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> FTP Server and increase KERNEL RAMDISK SIZE from 127000 to 275000.

Hi Sebastian,

I copied over the latest init files and I’m receiving an error upon deployment now.

windows could not finish configuring the system. to attempt to resume configuration, restart the computer

Any idea?

@george1421 said in Assistance with unattend script:

@jemerson93 I’d have to load it into waik to be sure, but everything looks good. I would take a few exceptions.

1. The auto login, do you need to define a count. Typically you would set it to 1 or more depending on how many time you needed the system to auto login.
2. Your first run commands update hkcu. Those settings will only change the user that is auto logging on not every user. You will need to account to have something run the first time every user logs in if you don’t have a default profile set (I know win10 doesn’t have such a thing but there are ways to get the same results, google is your friend).
3. I have seen at the end of the synchronous commands the last steps is a shutdown -r to restart the system. That way the IT tech knows the install is done when its sitting at a login prompt.

Thanks for the input. I’m going to continue working on this.

Getting this error, windows could not finish configuring the system. to attempt to resume configuration, restart the computer so I still need to figure out where this is going wrong. Whether it is my unattend script or something more.

@george1421 said in Assistance with unattend script:

Yes, I would first get rid of the partitioning settings. They are not needed/wanted if you are using FOG to push out the image. If you were building from bare metal then yes you would need them.

Here is an example unattend.xml, it maybe from Win7, but we are using the same unattend.xml file today with Win10 1809 with very few changes: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11920/windows-10-1803-sysprep-problem/7 I have no clue with 1903 since getting 1809 to work was enough pain for us for another 6 months (not related to FOG).

Would I be able to just remove the entire component and down for both partitioning parts? Do I need to add anything to expand?

I’m looking at this now…

Hey all,

I’m having various issues after sysprep with Windows booting. I’m starting to think something has changed in 1903 that is affecting my unattend.xml file. Can anyone give this a look over and let me know what can be removed? More specifically, I think it is the partitioning that is giving issues.

Hi Sebastian,

I am going to work on getting the information you requested. I’m still running into this issue (same for legacy systems (MBR)).

@Sebastian-Roth

Hi Sebastian,

I just wanted to add something. Before your post I was attempting to sysprep and capture with a different unattend file. Please see my information below.

I have 2 different unattend scripts that are mostly similar. For UEFI images (gpt partition, it creates 4 partitions (4 being set to extend) and the legacy creates 2 partitions.

I have issue with it capturing the entire drive with the UEFI script. I tested with the MBR script (Legacy) and it captured it fine again and only 11.2GB.

@Sebastian-Roth said in Error after sysprep and capture (FOG related):

@jemerson93 Usually when the “update database” fails you get an error in the apache and/or PHP-FPM logs. See my signature on where to find the logs and post here.

when it does expanding drive dev/vda4, it states fixed size.

Quite possibly yes! Can you please post the contents of the following files you find in the image directory on your FOG server: d1.partitions, d1.minimum.partitions and d1.fixed_size_partitions

Hi Sebastian,

I’ll be able to get you this information in the morning. I still haven’t downloaded and replaced the Kernel’s you mentioned to fix my other issue either (with the unallocated space with nvme drives). Trying to work through all issues Thanks for the help.

Also, when it does expanding drive dev/vda4, it states fixed size. I wonder if this would have a correlation to it taking the entire drive.

@jemerson93 said in Error after sysprep and capture (FOG related):

The only other difference I was testing on this was using a writeback cache on Proxmox instead of no cache. Would that cause it by any chance to capture the entire size of the drive?

Probably not. Have you made sure BitLocker is disabled? Did it say NTFS or RAW in the blue partclone window when capturing?

Okay, the syncing finished.

New error…

No bitlocker and file system is NTFS. It is also currently stuck on syncing… after re-deploying a test to a VM

@jemerson93 Read the sysprep section here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client#FOG_Client_with_Sysprep

So I finally got it to capture but a new weird issue. It captured the entire drive instead of the usual 12GB - 13GB. The only other difference I was testing on this was using a writeback cache on Proxmox instead of no cache. Would that cause it by any chance to capture the entire size of the drive?

Hi Wayne,

I have FOG Service disabled in the golden image and all of the individual images afterwards. I have the service set to start on first login on a custom script we have run to do various tasks (delete sysprep folder, change power settings, start fog, etc)

The issue is that my unattend script and capture works fine on Windows 10 1809. It’s specifically 1903 that is causing this issue and I can’t seem to pinpoint why. It has something to do with FOG capturing the image (as I mentioned if I sysprep and then boot, it’s fine)

It isn’t the service starting to early though.

Any other ideas?

@Sebastian-Roth said in Small local disk and the rest unallocated:

@jemerson93 Thanks for bumping this topic. Must have gone unseen in the last busy week, sorry.

Is it one particular image that you see this “random” issue with? Please post the contents of the text files p1.partitions, p1.minimum.partitions and p1.fixed_size_partitions of that image here in the forums.

Hi Sebastian,

It is not a particular image but I think I’ve found it only to happen with desktops (laptops are not affected).

I’ll get the information for you and update this post.

Hi all,

Getting the following error after capturing an image. Tested sysprep and boot (without FOG capturing) and it booted fine. If I sysprep, then capture and then boot, I get this… “Windows could not finish configuring the system. To attempt to resume configuration, restart the computer”.

Any insight on what is causing it? Current version of Windows 10 I am testing for this is 1903. Unattend script is the same I’ve used for 17s and 18s.

FOG Version: 1.5.6
Kernel Version: 4.19.36 for bzImage and bzImage32

Just wanted to bump this and see if anyone had any insight. Still running into this issue.

Hi all,

Finding a new issue and unsure where to even start. This issue is random with which workstation it affects. The issue is once I deploy an image, the local disk will be 12GB-13GB and the rest of the drive will be unallocated. Other times when deploying that same image to a different workstation, everything is fine. Issue seems to be apparent since I have upgraded to 1.5.6 as I never had this issue under 1.5.4.

FOG Version: 1.5.6
bzImage Version: 4.19.36
bzImage32 Version: 4.19.36
