have you ever used sysprep before?

are you trying to image them as well or just sysprep?

where did you place your unattend.xml? please give Full Path

What command are you using to sysprep? please give Full Command

your upload rate isn’t too bad, you only upload a handful of times compared to how many times you deploy to PCs

how many clients at once getting this speed?
what hardware is your server on?
also, is it megabits or megabytes of speed your meaning?
also, is this the upload or download task?

Please provide as much information as possible to allow people to help you

iirc on my dhcp server I can set a different PXE server/file if I use a reservation.

check your DHCP server.

unless you upload a lot of times, your probably better off having compression

why would you need clonezilla?

you don’t have to sysprep. but a better issue might be why is running sysprep a ‘nightmare’?

Don’t forget BTSync

you can install from within the BTSYNC directory

I use a 10.x.x.x with 255.255.248.0 subnet mask, works fine for me.

I don’t think forcing everyone to be on the latest and get every bug is a good idea…

Tom is great at pushing out updates, but he’ll probably feel a great deal worse with
“grgrhdaslhasdfhlahf MY NETWORK IS DEAD auihwefiaewkjafds… FIX IT NOW, EVEN IF I HAVE NOT PAID FOR IT I DESERVE IT aiwlhflahflkhawfklhlawhflawdfl;ahflhaewfhflkaewhl”

going on all day if there is a code mistake.

The installer uses past responses which is ‘good enough’ for those wanting to be bleeding edge providing they have BTSYNC

it’s complaining it can’t get an IP address.

what is your DHCP server running on?

I’ve had this a small amount at my current place of work, but it is only laptops plugged in via their Ethernet ports…

each site has it’s own DHCP server, I have VPN setup between them.

I just don’t want everything to fall flat on it’s face just because the VPN goes down for a little bit.

you can use virtualbox, in fact I make my images there.

you need to change the boot order in virtualbox but it does work with a bridged adapter. you may need the extension pack.

So if I have VPN to my main site and it goes down… has anyone tested what happens to the PCs when booting?

Will it error out and boot to HDD if it can’t access the web parts or leave the PC on the error?

I hadn’t checked the web directory… interesting.

Will see if that works tomorrow

If I’ve got a storage node which is a TFTP server then how will this affect those? will it grab the picture from the main node?

In 0.32 you could change the background image behind the boot menu by simply replacing the files in one of the tftp subdirectories.

However, there are no longer files to replace…

How can I change the background image in 1.x.x

Thanks

have you had any trouble with some new laptops not liking 0.32?
would be nice to know that they finally like 1.x.x before Monday and I setup mine on XenServer.

I use Debian 7

updated to latest btsync, now deploys properly.

Just tried re-uploading and then downloading, also trying another VM. (both failed)

windows 7 is installed with a single 19gb partition on a 32gb disk.

no 100mb system partition on the exemplar.

Try debian, I’ve had good luck with it all the way during the beta of 0.33 (having a problem of my own with 1.0.1 at the moment)

Tom works very hard and has put a lot of time into this project.

I suggest we all stop moaning and try to be constructive so the problems can be solved where they exist.
