I cant delete it like I said. anyway SORRY… please close thread. Thanks

I make unattend file to automate my Windows install.

It goes well, but my concern is the default ADMINISTRATOR account, yes it auto log on and fully functional and I can create a new user.

So I created a new user with admin rights but I cant delete the default administrator account.

How can I delete that default administrator account? so when I log off, only the user I created will show up…

Is it possible to create a new user with admin rights before uploading it to FOG, so that when deployed, that user profile will be the one to be loaded in first log on? How ?

Thanks

additional question, The PRO and PRO SP1 of Windows 7 use the same key as listed ?** FJ82H-XT6CR-J8D7P-XQJJ2-GPDD4**

KMS key depends on Windows version not release version.

Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Professional N have not the same key.

Okay. Thanks a lot. I’ll try to use the key in Win7 PRO sp1. Thansk again

So I cant use the Ultimate version for this kind of setup?

I got the error seen on the picture. I google and some say that it is about the license key.

I install Win7 Ultimate and enter a dummy license key(got it somewhere) …

The tutorial I followed here is using Win7 PRO , but I just have WIn7 Ultimate .

The list of licenses dont have Ultimate on it

Can anyone give me a working KEY for Win7 Ultimate x64 ? Please…

Or can I leave the license key part BLANK?

Thanks a lot…

i dont use unattended sir

I just sysprep, then on target pc I setup a username account…

do i really need to have unattended setup?

it all works as just I need without unattended setup… the only problem is the profile

I created a source image via VirtualBox. deployed. The problem is, When I set up the profile for the destination pc, my programs are gone.

source image PC = install programs and games like dota2 steam and garena

on destination PC = games are gone and the ADMIN account profile I use on the source before I deploy it were gone.

Why? How could I retain the profile account when I deploy the image?

Thanks for your help

so I just run Sysprep after I install all the programs needed?

I will use this XP image on multiple different OLD hardware

Thanks

How to prepare Windows XP for FOG imaging?

in Win8 and Win7 we enter AUDIT mode, then Sysprep…

How about in XP? Thanks

the upside being that [COLOR=#ff0000][B]the machine can be in use while the applications silently instal[/B]l. [/COLOR]

what FOG tools is this?

[quote=“Jaymes Driver, post: 36925, member: 3582”]FOG doesn’t have any financial backing form big corporations so we don’t really have hardware specifications or recommendations

I can tell you my network is a Novell Netware 6.5 network, I don’t recommend Novell to ANYONE!!! And it’s not that the product is crappy, or the servers suck, its that when you fall behind you get left behind. It’s very hard to find anyone that services Novell in our area, let alone an out dated version. Now when we have problems and we contact any dealer, they look at our OS and they say “You’re OS is out of date, I’m sure that the latest update has fixed this issue for you, please update your server OS for further assistance”. Novell also has a really bad habit of selling off the management tools that they provide you with and this causes problems later, or stops supporting tools all together… I.e. ConsoleOne, iManager just to name a few.

I would, however, recommend some good switch gear. We use Cisco managed switches and Dlink managed switches. When it comes to labs most of the switches are Asus unmanaged gear, and for classrooms it is the same.

I would recommend at least gig speed equipment, if you have anything 10/100 base this could cause a bottle neck and has even crashed network gear.

As far as a server goes, FOG is linux based, that means the most mundane of machines can run this awesome technology. I would recommend using something at least Duo Core or higher, and of course lots of ram (2 or 4 gigs is more than enough).

I know this is really general, but FOG wasn’t built to ONLY run on AMD equipment, or ONLY intel equipment. It’s meant to be versatile so that even aged server equipment can suffice. I have in the past used our out going technology, but I quickly switched to some newer grade equipment (nothing spectacular, it would work as an AutoCad machine if I loaded windows on it, Duo Core Processor and 2 gigs of ram) and for my small imaging projects this server is quite the work horse! :)[/quote]

thank you…

I think my PC hardware is enough to run FOG server

I will try convince my boss to have our classroom lab a Gigabit network gears…

I cant tell if my test fog server now is slow or fast, since I didnt use any imaging server but FOG…

so why I ask how to make it faster? it is because I just want to maximize the power and usefulness of this awesome project…

Thanks FOG team

ok I understand. Thank you

what will be the recommended hardware specs to have an overall better performance?

I’m more concern on fast deployment…

what I have now is just :::

i3 processor
16G ram
500G HDD
Dlink DIR-300 router

Server2008 as DNS and DHCP on VirtualBOX
Ubuntu server 12.04.5 LTS on VirtualBox also where I installed FOG 1.2.0
Windows Image on VirtualBox also

What do you recommend ? do I need to change hardware specs? network gear?

I just have one computer to use, so I’m building the server via VM.

DOWNLOAD or UPLOAD or DEPLOYING an image…

How to make the process faster?

what factors should I check?

Disk speed?
network speed?
hardware specs?

So I created a GROUP (testgroup)

on my TESTGROUP groupMenu I open MEMBERSHIP

then I see the list of my Hosts >> I add host1 and host2 to the group

then linked to my sourceImage >> and update

at this stage… I have a testgroup with host1 and host2 as member with the sourceImage linked on each

still under GROUP MENU I click basic task >> then click MULTICAST and submit

I go to TaskManagement and I can see it there as active…

I boot my host1 and host2 …

its 15mins now I think, it stock on PARTCLONE – starting to restore image (-) to device (/dev/sda1) _[/quote]

I have a follow up question on this…

does MULTICAST requires a number of host to proceed?? as i mentioned above, i just have 2 test host… and Multicast doesnt happen and stock to partclone…

but now I tried to DEPLOY… then reboot my host1 and host 2… imaging process started…

so if I have 1 - 10 host to image I will just use DEPLOY ?

if i have 10 - 30 or more host to image, I’ll use MULTICAST and it will have no problem?

Am I correct?

Thank you

so the better way is… put the drivers on the folder, then clone/image it… then on run the SADtool on the cloned/destination host?

is that correct ?

how to deploy/download image to multiple host?

sorry but I cant find a tutorial here… Thank you

How to MULTICAST?
