@theopenem_admin

Thank you very much for your help,

Deployment now works fine with SMB. The manual is also very clear and easy to follow.

Thanks again for the support we can continue deploying our computers.

Sincerely,

Melvin

@theopenem_admin I admit, I'm new to this side of the world. I'm good with desktop stuff, but getting into the server world is new. I'm a PLC programmer.

When you say "enable the is driver box", is that something that comes up when I load the file into the driver wizard? I have added a file copy module already, as I saw something saying I should have it for the golden image at least.

EDIT: I see the "is driver" now.

@dangbird I tried this, and it helped, but it isn't the fix for the problem. Especially if the process is bugged, and doesn't complete properly. (IE I did this today, and my setup wasn't correct, so the process died, leaving me stuck with this, as it's handled by some deep level process I can't figure out.)

My machine isn't on a group policy/org policy, as I'm setting up Toem for some machines that leave our org as temp servers on client sites.

@theopenem_admin I'm thinking it has something to do with the ISO I'm using to install. Going back to the drawing board on that. I'll update when/if I figure it out.

@theopenem_admin Easy for you to say. I can't take the server off the domain just to install a piece of software.

@palehbt Fixed it. Turn off "console Tasks require login" in Admin -> security

The front end and application logs are the best place to start.

@theopenem_admin Thanks, problem solved, went back over the config and i forgot to enable the default com server cluster option

@theopenem_admin - Don't chase this further - I believe this is a remnant from my failed attempt at upgrading MariaDB - https://forum.theopenem.com/topic/466/unable-to-to-login-system-invalidcastexception-object-cannot-be-cast-from-dbnull-to-other-types .
Back then I had to downgrade and because of all the database enconding and collation changes I had to manually edit my MariaDB 10.11 backup so I can have it restored under 10.5. I belive this is now causing my database schema, although working to be out of sync with the model/schema in your coude - hense 'The model backing the context has changed since the database was created.'. What I did was go back to a pre-MariaDB upgrade backup, had that restored, it properly updated to 1.5.5. and now I can login fine. Thanks for your help anyway!

You cannot, the existing partition table is always destroyed and recreated.

I don't see why it wouldn't.

You only want to open the com server, not the ui or application. You can review the security and topology section from the docs.

There is no permanent deploy, model match could work for you if the same model always gets the same image.

@theopenem_admin
fyi i managed to solve this by creating another admin account which seems to work fine - if anyone else ever has this issue

@lwilliamson
No, you're a bit off here... you can basically launch it anywhere you want, you just have to have ADK for creating the WinPE installed on that PC. For me the most optimal is TOMES server itself, because you need to copy the output files into the TOEMS folder in Program Files.
The drivers are only files, that you download from the Lenovo PC's website and that you put inside the Optional folder of the wie_builder.
Your target here is to create a standalone Windows PE, which has the necessary drivers to be able to utilize the devices on client PCs, which drivers are not present in standard WinPE by default.

TL;DR: your guide is here: https://docs.theopenem.com/imaging/build-wie.html
