@LiamRetrams I recently published a function related to this in my FogApi Powershell module (see my signature)

I posted an example of using it in a snapin to change a host’s boot order to pxe boot as the first boot option

as @george1421 stated this is a windows issue, part of the oobe process involves changing the boot order. But you can utilize bcdedit to fix it. I’ve made an attempt at creating a universal option with my Set-WinToBootToPxe function, It works for me on some Asus motherboard based systems, I’d be very interested to hear if it works on custom Gigabyte builds as well.

Thanks @george1421 , the reason I wasn’t using sysprep oobe generalize was because it was causing my system to lock up at “Please Wait”. I found that un-joining and re-joining it to the domain “generalizes” the system enough so that everything works for us.

Anyway - I re-built the image and integrated the FOG Client (agent) into it. Now it appears the domain joining is working. Bad news is I’ll need to do another round of manual deployment, but that is the last time - after that I will have a full hands off deployment system.

Thanks for your help so far!
