Hi,

I’m using FOG 1.2 to image some Dell machines. Until now we used Acronis True Image for creating our images. We have a lot of computers with exactly same hardware so we didn’t need to use sysprep or something else until now.

My first experiment with fog was successful: I took an image of a Dell Optiplex 3010 and deployed it to all other computers in the same building using multicast. After about 20 minutes all computers were up and running (renaming and joining the domain also worked). Another room with 33 computers also worked the same way - really great! For these images i didn’t prepare anything special (like sysprep or similiar) except from leaving the domain before imaging.

For another 66 computers (Dell Optiplex 390) I prepared the image the same way: Installing a new Windows 7 x64, updates, software, leaving the domain. Deploying worked really fast but on the computers I got only a blue screen at boot time. This also happened when I was trying to restore the image on the original machine where I took it from. I tried to use Sysprep but it also wasn’t successful. Do you have any hints?

Thanks a lot for your help!
Stefan
