@Tom-Elliott This happens during sysprep when the computer is imaging…how do I get it to update the bios and also sysprep at the same time?

@george1421 Alright I can put the drivers on the sysprep image through vsphere. I’m pretty new at the whole creating sysprep images and what not. Do you have an email that you can send me and I can add you to the google doc that we use? Maybe you could take a look at the document and see if I’m doing the correct process, if so that would be great!

To answer the last question yes we use FOG to push the sysprep image to the target computer so we can install the drivers for that computer…then we upload the completed image back into fog under each computer name…so Lenovoe550 is one…lenovoe440 is another.

Thanks for all your help

@george1421 Yep it images like normal, but after the first restart(it usually does 3) it stops working after it says windows is updating registry settings…the computer is still on, but the screen is black.

@george1421 ahhh I get what your saying now. We are just uploading it into fog once the drivers are installed…we do not sysprep a second time. Sysprep and the other computers are working…it’s just the lenovoe550 that doesn’t work. Maybe install the lenovoe550 GPU driver onto our sysprep image then try to deploy it to the computer?

@george1421 When we have the sysprep image looking the way we want it through vsphere we go to basic task in FOG and click upload image. We store sysprep in fog so we can deploy it to each machine. We use the command sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /restart to upload the image into fog.

@george1421 Yeah we have 1 image per hardware model…so we have a sysprep image for 32 bit machines and a sysprep image for 64 bit machines…then we load those onto each model of computer we have and install drivers…then we upload the finished image back into fog so we can deploy it to all of the same model computers. So your saying I should just upload the drivers for the computers on our sysprep image? Then deploy that image to each individual model of laptop?

@kyle.heath So maybe add the Lenovoe550 driver to the sysprep image ahead of time?

@Quazz So how would I go about fixing this? Install the GPU driver for the lenovoe550 on the sysprep image?

Hey everyone so I have a weird issue that’s happening to one of our models. I’ve created the sysprep 64 bit image through vmsphere and I upload it onto each computer model we have, then I download the drivers for that model and upload it into FOG. I’ve done this process for a couple of years and it’s always worked…until now. I recently tried to upload the sysprep image onto a LenovoE550 and it makes it through the imaging process and restarts the first time, but when it starts to load the computer it says Windows is updating the registry settings…then the screen goes black. Nothing I try gets it to come back on and the only thing that works is restarting the computer, but the same thing happens again. Sysprep works on every other model we have Lenovos, Hp, Dell but it’s this one particular model that’s giving me issues. Sysprep loaded onto this model fine last year, but for some reason it’s not working now. I tried to update the sysprep image and that didn’t work…anyone come across this issue before or have suggestions???

Thanks!!!
