@scott-boucher what is and version? If it’s Ubuntu 16.04 I would suggest upgrading to a more recent version and trying again. Ubuntu 16.04 is out of support and likely is stuck using repo that is no longer supported on it.

@Scott-Boucher This issue is definitely not fog related. I have seen this on multiple occasions and usually comes down to a UEFI machine with a SSD. either try disabling sleep is the advanced power settings, try disabling hibernation, Disable fast boot in bios, or theres a “turn off hard disk after” setting that you may want to see if thats disabled. I have linked this issue to usually the computers bios misidentifying the SSD as a HDD making windows use the wrong things to sleep/hibernate.

If you are using a HDD then try to see if there is a bios update for your machine and/or driver updates from the manufacturers website. Good Luck, this problem is proprietary to your type of device. Do some research in that and also look at disabling the settings.

I have also learned that 5400 rpm 2.5" HDD are absolutely horrible. If that is what you have within those machines, try to put in a SSD for a test and see if you get the same results.

If anyone is interested this worked for me. I found this in a MS thread. I placed this in my Windows\Setup\Script\SetupComplete file just above the fog service enabled command.

del /F /Q C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCacheLock.dat
del /F /Q C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache*.*
del /F /Q C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache*.*

@Scott-Boucher Thoughts? Yes… switch back to win7.

The only way I know to make this work is to customize a start menu design to your liking. Then export it to its xml file format. Then copy that xml file to your golden image. The final bit is to create a GPO policy to force the computers to load its start menu from the exported file you created before.

You may be able to do this with the microsoft provisioning package, but I haven’t done that before.

A quick google search on “win10 customize start menu” should point you into a direction.

There are 2 ways that I go about this.

Put the commands you need to execute in the setupcomplete.cmd batch file (like creating accounts and such). Just make sure you delete this batch file after it runs to ensure you don’t have any password leakage.

We use the first run section of the unattend.xml file for actions that need to happen inside a windows profile. We setup the unattended login function with a count of 1. The second to last step of the first run section changes the login screen to our standard company branding (so we know the imaging process is complete) by updating a few registry settings, and the very last step of the first run section is to issue a shutdown.exe -r -t 15 -c "This system will reboot in 15 seconds" command. This forces the computer to reboot after all of the other actions are done.

Well after a bunch of research and testing, this little tool works pretty well.

Defprof

A little utility that you setup one profile exactly how you want it and then this will copy all those profile settings to the newly added users. Works for domain users as well.

@Scott-Boucher 2 logins is for other processes that we run. You should be able to change that number without issue.

The known good systems were extremely slow as well just like the new one using 3.12
