Chuck that is great that we don't have to unjoin before imaging and not use netdom.exe . . . very slick.
It would be nice to have the Fog user guide updated to indicate that netdom is no longer required for >= fog 0.29. It would eliminate some confusion. It appears that the first reference to it in the user guide is at: http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOGUserGuide#Active_Directory_Integration Keep up the great work, FOG is a really nice addition to the tools available for schools, especially schools with limited budgets.
