Changing the MySQL root password is contained in the command:
mysql_secure_installation
I’m still trying to figure out how to escape the replacement strings, since it contains both single quotes ( ’ ) and double quotes ( " ).
DATABASE_PASSWORD', "<oldnewpassword>"
sed -i.bak 's|DATABASE_PASSWORD', "<oldpassword>"|DATABASE_PASSWORD', "<newpassword>")|g' /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php
This is the result of a combination of things. With each successive iteration, 1507, 1511, 1607, 1703, 1709, 1803 things have changed subtly. A fun sleuthing experience each time.
Answer this. Are you doing a copyprofile=true? Google from there.
I recommend building your Win10 image in a VM and include the following.
Disconnect the NIC before installing (to prevent Windows Store updates which WILL otherwise cause problems)
When you reach the Sysprep Tool at the desktop, always only CANCEL. Selecting Enter Audit Mode will generate an extra (invisible) File Explorer.exe shortcut in “C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\”
DISABLE Store AutoUpdates policy while building
Computer \ Administrative Templates \ Windows Components \ Store
Reboot
Connect your NIC
While building your image, to prevent Windows 10 (ie: Edge) from resetting file associations apply this v1803.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; Description Prevents Windows 10 from resetting the file associations
; ... by adding NoOpenWith & NoStaticDefaultVerb values for all the modern apps.

To Master your image for capturing is where a lot of voodoo happens depending on your environment and what you want to happen. I incorporate unattend.xml, Scripts (ErrorHandler.cmd + SetupComplete.cmd) and custom scripts for auto-logon and more.

Among the crazier things, Windows 10 likes to revert certain elements of the results of Copy Profile AFTER coming out of sysprep, which makes timing of some of the steps above rather critical. They cannot happen before they are intended or your effort is wasted.
Now there is a LOT I left out that I use to optimize our images even more but these will get you around the current crop of v1803 gotchas.
I would strongly vote against renaming and joining the domain in a single reboot. This can lead to Active Directory issues. Namely you end up with two objects on the AD, one with the original name and another with the new name, or it may retain the old name anyways.
My vote is to mandatory restart after renaming, then mandatory restart after joining the domain. This is the MS method as well.
Attempting to do both in a single restart is doubly troublesome for us. We have automated scripts that sort the computers into new OUs and Security Groups depending on the naming structure of the computer. If it isn’t named properly before joining the domain, before the DC scripts automatically fire, then the machine isn’t sorted correctly and never will be until the object is manually removed from the domain and rejoined.
Thank you for the great info!
@Junkhacker The majority of my images are ~55 GiB compressed, 85-115 GiB deployed. And yah, Autodesk and Adobe products suck it up real good.
@Tom-Elliott But that’s two steps; I’m aiming for a single step, direct solution.
And I have it now

This is a curious request I had to stop and think about. ReFS is not bootable, so it would never contain an OS, which defeats the primary purpose of using FOG.
I’m not a fan of multi-partition imaging, so I can’t say just how important this would be to FOG users in general.
The entire process is the initial post. It’s been edited and indicated.
I’ve deployed to physical, Hyper-V and Vmware without issue.
I’ll let ya know shortly. I’m reproducing and documenting the entire process, including for Debian 8.0.0.
Did you create your image on the source computer while it was in UEFI or Legacy mode?
Did you setup the destination computer’s BIOS to boot to match the mode the OS was created in?
I recommend against using Ubuntu. CentOS 7.x is my friend for FOGing.
Basically,
Also tested:
de-registration
quick registration
Task deploy (download)
It exports the definitions (the pointers) as a image_export.csv (Comma Separated Value) text file.
This file can be edited!
If after exporting your complete list of images from one server, you want to then import just one of those images to another server you edit the original exported .csv . I use Microsoft Excel.
Delete the lines for the images you are not interested in, then save that new .csv .
On the destination server you then import the updated .csv. The contents of which are then merged into that server’s database.
One of the nicer bits about the exported .csv is that the creation date and image size are saved and imported along with all the other pertinent fields. Do not worry about the image ID #, that is not saved or imported.
Of course you will still need to copy the actual image files referenced by the image definition onto the destination server.
Sounds familiar. Are you using copyprofile=true in your sysprep?
I use the following in a vb script that runs from an auto-logged-on Administrator as it comes out of sysprep.
Sub sProfileFixes()
' Clean up problems caused by using COPYPROFILE=TRUE
Dim retry : retry = 0
Do Until retry = 10

Call objShell.Run( "cmd /c rmdir /s /q C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache", 0, True )
Err.Clear
retry = retry + 1

End If

FOG now has everything it needs to setup your server, but please
understand that this script will overwrite any setting you may
have setup for services like DHCP, apache, pxe, tftp, and NFS.
It is not recommended that you install this on a production system
as this script modifies many of your system settings.
This script should be run by the root user on Redhat or with sudo on Ubuntu.
** Notice ** Redhat users will need to disable SELinux and iptables in
order to use FOG
Please see our wiki for more information at http://www.fogproject.org/wiki
Here are the settings FOG will use:
Base Linux: Debian
Detected Linux Distribution: Ubuntu
Installation Type: Normal Server

DHCP router Address:
DHCP DNS Address:
Interface: eth0
Using FOG DHCP: 0
Internationalization: 0

DHCP will NOT be setup but you must setup your
current DHCP server to use FOG for PXE services.
On a Linux DHCP server you must set:
next-server
On a Windows DHCP server you must set:
option 066 & 067
Option 066 is the IP of the FOG Server: (e.g. 172.19.244.22)
Option 067 is the undionly.kpxe file: (e.g. undionly.kpxe)

GONG!
@george1421 M72e is a desktop, M72z is an All-in-One.

And I agree with @ITSolutions , it’s probably a very bad idea to try to use NTFS. I’d recommend Ext4 as he did.
Poking my nose into this little 'ism. The NTFS formatted image drives, physical and virtual, that I’ve been using for over a year disagree. 
Missed the GONG eh? My age is showing.
Well, I’ve decided to go Debian for any future development/deployment, so Ubuntu is so Windows XP to me now.
@sebastian-roth That did the trick! That server can now update its kernel.
It’s interesting to see how two different causes have similar results.
