@RLane you should not use delayed-auto if so there is a race condition for breaking the image when deploying, for some machines you could have luck and for some maybe you will get an error.

In short when using OEM you can’t use SetupComplete.cmd without calling it by unattend.xml section firstlogoncommands.
If you are not using OEM you can use SetupComplete.cmd as normal but stay away from delayed auto.

@Tom-Elliott @Joe-Schmitt Could someone add this information to the wiki?
If OEM call setupcomplete.cmd via unattend.xml section firstlogoncommands
if no OEM use Setupcomplete.cmd as normal

Hi,

here is one example of my printers:

Alias: KM C258 (AT)
Printer INF File: \\it4005\Treiber\Drucker\KM\C258\KOAYCJ__.INF
Printer IP: 172.19.100.242
Printer Port: IP_172.19.100.242 (It's only the displayname for the port)
Printer Model: KONICA MINOLTA C368SeriesPCL (this is important and have to match the inf file printername)
Printer Config File: \\it4005\Treiber\Drucker\KM\C258\settings.dat (there are vbs scripts that import/export windows printer settings)

the share \it4005\Treiber… is public readable.
If your target systems are win10 try to use drivers from a share the ones embedded for hp are s***

@avaryan said in Windows 10 - Start menu freezing after feature update:

In case anyone else experience this issue, we seem to have a solution. Something corrupted the default user profile during the Feature Update from Build 1607 to Build 1703.

The following PowerShell commands took care of the issue:

Remove-Item -Path C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache -Force -Recurse
Remove-Item -Path C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache -Force -Recurse 

This solves the issues for any new profiles, but profiles created after the Feature Update will need to be deleted.

This can be marked as solved now.

Hi,

this only happens with Windows 10 1703 when you use “copyprofile” in unattend.xml, if so and if you want to stick with copyprofile (like me) you have to delete the mentioned folders but you miss a file that has also been deleted, let me have a look for it…

Found it back, look at this thread, what you found was mentioned before (read the complete thread!):
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10210/windows-10-1703-image-with-strange-issue/18

rd /S /Q "C:\Users\Default\AppData\LocalLow"
rd /S /Q "C:\users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache"
rd /S /Q "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache"
del /F "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCacheLock.dat"

I trigger that delete lines with setupcomplete.cmd

Microsoft changed the copyprofile behaviour, you need to know how to handle it if you still use it.

@george1421 i think the reason is (for me it is) my master has little storage only 50GB and the Storage Node has 4TB. When i put both in a group i have very quick a full master storage.

6. Can you create an image on FOG using an SSD? -OCSD A.

7. Our HP desktops can boot via PXE, but our dell vostro 260’s are no longer working. I was abte to create the image, but now they are no longer working. Any ideas? -Paul K.

8. Does fog allow offline imaging via usb key? -jorlando d.

9. How does FOG and PDQ handle windows updates? -Ryan M.

10. I haven’t worked with Snapins much but after I Image with Fog is there a way ti set the OOBE answers (i.e. user that will be using this computer, etc), using the snapin feature for when I image Windows 10? -C P.

11. Are there any network card driver issues using FOG imaging? -Rod C.

Hi,

@bob-henderson @PDQ guys how do you realize with your lovely pdq deploy to run a process as logged on user?
Is it possible to show me the magic?

I have the following problem, printserver with pdfcreator 1.7.3 running as service, when someone prints a pdf it will directly placed on a client computers share, after this i like to run acrobat reader under the users context with the current created pdf file.

Therefore i need to run the process under the current logged on user context, how can i realize this?

@Wayne-Workman no it was never planned bigger than this, for more storage i have the 4TB storage node. it’s Ubuntu 14.04.4 on VMWare Esx 5.5, the storage node is a physical server.

Regards X23

@Wayne-Workman ok we can do this later

i did the following and it helped.
to installfog.sh at last line i added a call to restart_services.sh
additionally i added (as root) to cron (crontab -e) a call to restart_services.sh, use @reboot in front if the crontab line.

Hi,

do we talk about the same VL Key or unique OEMs?
You can simply use slmgr to inject a key (/ipk) and activate with (/ato) while having this two liner in a batch triggered as snapin

slmgr /ipk key
slmgr /ato

Is it for already deployed hosts that use a key thats out of amount or would you like to use it for machines deployed in the future?

@Joe-Schmitt said in Fog not auto joining to the domain requires additional restart to join-Windows 10:

@x23piracy while you can do that, it is risky and unadvised. You’re basically creating a race condition and just hoping it works out. I recommend following the written wiki article for how to configure the client and sysprep. We recommend setupcomplete.cmd as that is the proper and safest way to do so.

Hi,

well i know this but my SetupComplete.cmd never worked, i placed it in C:\Windows\Setup\scripts\ and i have the following in it:

del C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\unattend.xml
sc config FOGService start= auto
net start FOGService

I am using Windows 10 Pro, Source iso is from “Media Creation Tool”.
If someone could tell why this is not working i could walk away from the knife edge i am using.

For my luck the normal workstations work with my method but when i try to redeploy to the vm i am using to prepare the image again and again i get the error message joe was talking about.

Is SetupComplete.cmd only working for Enterprise Win 10? I cannot imagine why else it’s not working for me. hmm…

Regards X23

@RLane Hi, are you using OEM? If so you can’t use SetupComplete.cmd but you can use firstlogoncommands in unattend.xml to call SetupComplete.cmd to get done automated i also create a local user and allow 1 autologon via unattend.xml.
