Posted December 30, 201112 yr I have 50 Optiplex 780's that I'm about to deploy. I have installed Windows 7 Enterprise on one of the machines to create an image that I would use for the rest of the machines. I customized it with all of our software and settings. I sysprep'd the machine using this answer file and this command c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown /uattend:unattend.xml en-us en-us en-us en-us QgBpAHQAJQBMAG8AYwBhAGwAUABhAHMAcwB3AG8AcgBkAA== false true 1 Administrator RABDAE4AUgB1AHMAZQByACMAMQBQAGEAcwBzAHcAbwByAGQA false Helpdesk Helpdesk Eastern Standard Time false true Work 1 no http://intradcnr true * Eastern Standard Time false true false The machine shutdown. I captured the image using Ghost 2003. *I know that best practice is using imagex. I just went with what im familiar with due to being short on time.* After starting the pc back up everything works perfect. I can logoff and logon pretty quick. Once I join the pc to the domain and reboot I can logon just fine. I can logoff fine. I reboot the pc. It comes back up to logon. I logon, now when i logoff it hangs.. I shut the machine off from the power button and bring it back up.. Still hangs when logging off/shutting down/or restarting. I found that the first time that you logon to a profile (when domain connected) it works fine. After a restart it will hang. After leaving it sit for 8 minutes it will log off.. If I log back on it will log back off quickly but once it is restarted it takes forever again to logoff/shutdown or restart.. I tried disjoining it from the domain. It works as it should. I already have 8 machines I built as fresh installs in the same AD Container and those work fine. So I don't think it has anything to do with group policy. One thing that I ran into when I was sysprep'ing the machine was it would always error out on the copy profile. I would have to start over again from scratch.. Thats when I found out that there was an issue where if there was a registry entry in HKLM\software\Microsoft\current version\windowsnt\profilelist that was not a valid user account it would have issues.. so i removed the entry for the user that was created when I first started to load the machine. It seemed fine. I also tried going into msconfig>services>Hide all MS services> Then disable all of the services except for the AV. Still an issue. We do not use roaming profiles or logoff scripts either Any ideas?? Continue reading...
