Guys, I used FOG server along with SAD2 scripts and the driver pack, but then I realized that some of the drivers from driverpack causes issued on some of our computers.
then started to look for a better solution to make it possible only use the manufacture’s drivers. and lot more.
The solution I found was the MDT2012 ( microsoft Deployment toolkit ) which is a free product that can be run on a windows 7 machine with tones of capblity includin injecting drivers during image deployemnt, post install apps and more…

thanks

I’d like to add for updating the drivers in SAD2 for the drivers that won’t install, you can use MDT along with WAIK which both are free from microsoft and build your out of box drivers, then go to your deployment share then open out of box folder and use 7zip to add those extracted drivers to your NT6 folder in SAD2.

here is what I did, I used nlite and integrated the sata drivers and also all the drivers into the xp installation disk, then made an ISO file,
using that ISO I installed windows xp on Sun Virtual Box, then I made a ghost image and tried it on 3 different machines with success, but still waiting on your link fix to sysprep.zip download to try that too.
thanks

Hello

How do you insert the SATA driver into the image. this process will work if AHCI is disabled in the BIOS but what if it is enabled?

Thanks for the info, I’ll try and let you know.

this is what I did;
I created a RunOnce registry input which will call the DP_install the first time that windows boots.
Example: DrvIns.reg
C:\Drivers\SAD2-111118\DP_Install_Tool.i have uploaded the file, please remember to rename it to drvins.reg
thx

I didn’t know about the mobile site.
I should say users can logon to mobile site with no problem.
Thanks

where do I setup the master password?
I use the fog default password to logon to FOG

Hello

That’s funny that you made the fog user into a moblie and I can’t log in with any mobile user that I create.
fog is keep going back to login screen when I use the mobile user to login with.
may I ask which version of FOG are you using and if you ever experienced the issue that I have with mobile users?

Thanks

We have like 13 Technicians who also are responsible for imaging workstions for our users if they need to.
I want them to be able to use the FOG server for this purpose with no right of being able to delete the image or do any other damage.
I noticed the FOG has the mobile user which I have not been able to use yet because when I creat a mobile user, that user is not able to login and I guess this is another problem that FOG has.

I was wondering if there is anyone out there in same situation like I am and if has found a good working solution for that?
Thanks

Hi Mark
I have exactly the same problem and know for fact that it’s not the FOG service.
I finaly fix it by putting the password for account in registry under HKLM\software\microsoft\windows NT\current version\winlogon
I setup the key called DfaultUserPassword.

there is a program called windowsautologin.exe that does all that for you.
I also noticed that the password will be removed from registry after the number of autologon is over.

I appreciate if you tell mw what solution you found.
thanks

I was right, the mac address of that machine was in the following folder:
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg , which I was able to delete by using the command: sudo rm { Mac Address}

Here is what I did:
Since I could not get ubunto to see my USB drive that was attached to ESX host, I downloaded the Kernel from your link and then used the sudo cp command to copy it over to existing kernel.
I tested 4 of our Dell machines, Dell E6410, E6420, Dell 760 and Dell 780, with success.
I should say I did system compatiblity test in system information from PXEBott Menu and they all passed.

the only problem I have is the with Dell 780 which is stuck in uploading the image eventhough I removed it from hosts list on Fog server , it still upload the image to Fog no matter what.
I need to figure out where it’s Mac address has got stuck I think.
Thanks for the working Kernel you sent, you are awesome.
Thanks again

Here is the Fog.log file
thanks

something that I just did.
I logged into ubunto, my fog server, and tried to read the permission on the tftpboot folder.
it shows that Fog is the owner and doesn’t let me do anything

Eric

Winscp can’t edit permission on tftpboot folder, It gets permission denied
Looks like my only luck is updating kernel through kernel update in Fog which is limited to only existing Kernels.
Thanks

Raff
could you be more specefic, what do you mean by Host Kernel?
I don’t see any Host kernek under Fog settings if that’s where I should look
Thanks

Amazing, I have been working on this thing for a month now and everyday I have to figure out something new.
I’m about to give up.

Thanks anyway.
