    @Sebastian-Roth while poking round in the BIOS on some new Dell machines I did find an option called “Force PXE on next Boot” - https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-uk/dell-cmnd-config-v3.0/dell_command_configure_cli-v3/-forcepxeonnextboot?guid=guid-85c17652-4a18-4538-8665-e6b3e777d649&lang=en-us

    You have to have the dell tools installed, but this would be a possible option.

    I know with my current machines when a BIOS update happens it keeps overwriting the boot order so my PXE boot doesn’t happen. Quite annoying!

    I don’t know how I’d go about making the FOG Client execute this command before a task reboot though.

    @Tom-Elliott I really appreciate that you are putting effort into providing more frequent releases, which makes it easier for everyone to deploy new security fixes in time. Keep up the good work!

    HI,

    So we installed Fog over 10 years ago and have just continued to update. Works awesome.

    So going through some security things and we have a user for Fog Server that was set up with Domain AD. So this user seems to help process of joining AD and the naming…So couple things I was looking into.

    Not wanting this user to have full Domain AD so wanted to fix that. I also tried to login with account on a regular computer to check password. Password is not working so 1. I am afraid to change anything because Fog is working amazing.

    Want to know if I can fix now that all is setup and working well without causing issues. I see there is AD Default domain name on Fog server and also AD Default Password.

    My readings and research seems to say don’t need as much access as maybe back 10 years ago but before I change anything would like to know if you have any recommendations or anyone have a similar situation?

    Recommendations without messing up my Fog Server and process. I have user Disabled unless I am doing install/image. Thanks and look forward to hear from others.

    @Tom-Elliott ah, that would work! Sorry, the documentation is such a mish-mash that it’s hard to find answers for some of this stuff!
