I guess I wouldn’t worry about looking at this since it is solved.

I imaged a computer that was activated and on the domain. After applying that imaged to another computer it says that is on the domain when I log in locally, however there is no trust relationship. Once I remove the PC from the domain, and reboot, it is added back to the domain and I’m able to log into the domain. It only does this if I remove it, not if I just reboot.

Once I log into the domain, I see that Windows is no longer activated, and it will not active with the same VLK that is in the computer I made the image from. I’m not sure what is going on, but I loaded an image from the Default Lenovo Windows 7 that we updated to Windows 10, and it activated with no issues. Not sure why it is a problem on the VLK. We are just going to use the other image and see what happens.

Is this normal, or just an issue with Windows 10? I used FOG with Windows 7 for years with no issues ever. Now it seems as though I can’t get anything to work together. Thanks for taking a look at this.

Another odd thing that I just found out, is that I can’t remove it from the domain either. I was just going to remove it from the domain, and add it back to see if it would establish the connection, and once I remove it and reboot, it comes right back on the domain. Is that a function of the FOG Client?

I know that this is marked as solved, but I wanted to see if I could follow up on this.

I have been adding a few computers for one department as a test so I can get my process down and I have ran into an issue. I have the computers added to the domain via FOG, however I was always logging in local to set things up before the user got the computer. Now that I was ready I logged into the domain for the first time and every computer has a domain trust relationship. When I go into AD and search the entire directory for those computers they aren’t there. I left all the Organization Unit information blank so that they would default to the Computers OU.

@Tom-Elliott Thank you. I didn’t look in the advanced tasks. I will try that now.

I’ve been imaging the new computers for our location, and have found that I need to install a BIOS update on some of them. I ran a Inventory Report from FOG and is shows the BIOS version in that report which is very helpful. The thing is, that it only shows the BIOS version at the time it was Inventoried. Is there a way to refresh/update that data other than removing the host and performing another Inventory?

I would like to go through and update all the necessary computers. I can handle going through and doing all the ones that I’ve already imaged, but is there a way to update the report for future reference? Thanks.

I think I found the issue. I had the settings in the Default FOG Settings, and had the “Join Domain after image task” checked in the Group, but there was no information in the settings. I unchecked it, and checked it again, and it populated with the data from the FOG Settings. It is now working like it should. Using Ottawacc.local. Thanks for the help.

@Wayne-Workman I will try it again now, with just Ottawacc. Is there one setting that overrides the other? If I am going to use this for every computer, would it be best to put it in the FOG Settings, or the Group Settings?

@Wayne-Workman I’m using the FQDN, Ottawacc.local I have tried it both ways, and in all three locations. . . Settings, Group, and Host settings.

@Tom-Elliott I wasn’t sure if that had something to do with the settings or something else. Once the PC boots after the image is deployed, and I log in, I can add it to the domain manually with the same credentials/information I entered into FOG.

@Joe-Schmitt This is the log file from a PC that I just tried to deploy to. Windows 10 works fine, but not on the domain like in the past with Windows 7. I’m sure I have something wrong. I see the following in the log, but from that same PC right now I can reach the DC. Not sure what I have wrong.

@Tom-Elliott OK, I think I understand. Once I updated to Trunk, I went to “Service Configuration” and under “Client Management” and installed the new client from there before I made a new image. Looking at both the PC I made captured the image from, and the PC I deployed it to, they are both running FOG Service v 0.11.3

Is that the Client that you are talking about?

@Joe-Schmitt I did update to trunk. The version that I’m running right now has the option for a Windows 10 image. I’m able to capture and deploy a Windows 10 image using those settings. I just can’t get it to join the domain.

@Joe-Schmitt so the version that I’m using at this time does not support Windows 10 domain joining?

I updated from 1.2.0 this week. I’m not currently using the following.

Running Version 8537
SVN Revision: 5892

I have been looking for an answer to this, and I can’t seem to figure out what my issue is. I recently updated from FOG 1.2.0 to Trunk to get the imaging working on our new Computers. Now that the imaging is working I’m trying to figure out why I can’t get our new images to add themselves to the domain.

I have put the settings in the FOG Settings, Group Settings, and Host Settings with no change no matter where I put the information. I have both the normal password, as well as the Legacy password with FOGCrypt. The FOG Service is running on the image and I have the Hostname Changer enabled.

I don’t know if I’m missing something, or if there is another log I can check for this. This is a Windows 10 Pro image that I’m trying to deploy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

@Tom-Elliott, thanks. I believe we can close this thread. Things are working now as far as a Capture/Deploy aspect goes. I’m having issues with my images not joining the domain. I have done some reading here and all of my settings appear to be correct. If I can’t get it working, I can start another thread.

Thanks for all of the help. There is no way that I would have got this working without you guys. Thanks.

Things appear to be working now for all three instances. Default Windows 7 install, upgrade to Windows 10 install, as well as the drive that was loaded from the Windows 10 disk. I’m going to do a few more tests to make sure things continue to work as they should, but it look promising.

I do have one question, and I’m not sure if this is due to the upgrade or not. When I do a full inventory on a new host, it asks at the end would you like to deploy this image now. In the past, it would just deploy the image right away, but for me to get it to work now, I have to reboot. Is that normal, or am I just mistaken and it would always reboot?

@Quazz, I followed your recommendation and turned off Fast Startup and ran a chkdsk. FOG was able to capture and image, however it was very slow. Had a few moments where I thought it was going to fail since it sort of stopped doing anything. It did complete, and rebooted when done though.

I’m in the process of trying to deploy that image to another PC right now to make sure that it is working as it should.

@Wayne-Workman, thank you. I changed that password, and re-installed Trunk. Oddly I wasn’t locked out of this time like I had been in the past. I also wasn’t prompted to update the DB like before. Something that was cleared by restarting the SQL DB.

I was able to Register my Windows 7 machine, and capture an image from the PC.
I was also able to deploy that image to another PC that I had registered, and it worked as it should.

The issue that I’m still having is associated with the Windows 10 PC that I performed a custom install on, wiping all partitions on the drive during the installation.

When I try and capture and image, I fails with the following message. I’m assuming it has something to do with the drive? When I ran the compatibility test earlier though, it didn’t detect any issues.
Failed to complete capture (savePartition)
Args passed: /dev/sda2 1 /images/002324b78577 all

I’m starting to wonder if at this point it may be best to just remove FOG and re-install it again. I have nothing in there at this time that I can’t afford to lose.
