    @robertkwild “better” is a relative term. I suggest following the command because we know it will do what it needs to do properly.

    @d2freak82 said in Error on first PXE boot:

    later popped an error that the drive was unclean on 2 different laptops

    This is expected if you did not shutdown the computer properly before image capture. The shutdown command from the start menu is not sufficient.

    You have the following options to properly power off the computer for image capture.

    Run the following command from a command prompt shutdown -s -t 0 Use sysprep to power off the computer using the proper command line switch. Turn off fast startup in windows.

    The kernel version I’m referencing is for FOS Linux (what get downloaded to the target computer), not the host OS kernel version. You can see the kernel version using the web ui FOG Configuration->Kernel update.

    i have resolved this issue. I am not sure but when i was looking into ubuntu it did not update the images correctly. I moved them again and this time it was working correctly

    i used FTP software , filezilla , to see the files where not on the ubuntu server but the gui was saying it was there .

    @mmoore5553 Good to hear you were able to make it work. Just a few comments on what you said:

    I ran the setup again in the vm and finally go the error setting up and starting dhcp server - no router address found - no dns address found.

    The router and DNS addresses are only used by the FOG installer to set those in the DHCP configuration to be sent to clients requesting IP (and router/DNS information) from the DHCP server.

    if i want a VM to connect I have to change my VM to Nat and not bridged.

    Hmm, I would think you can set all VMs to bridged and should be able to PXE boot VMs and physical machines then.

    @mmoore5553 said in drive not expanding fog 1.5.9:

    @scott-b yes it is . Windows 20h2 . I finally got it resolved by the moderator. I had to go into my image and delete the recovery drive. Then it acted correctly.

    Just wanted to put that out there if someone else had the same issue

    Thank you for letting me know. I’m having the same issue so I’ll give that a shot.

    @jonathanho92 Upgrade your FOS kernel version to 5.6.X or later. I would go to 5.10.12 or later to get the latest hardware support.

    Yes it is OK. FOG don’t care or will ever see it.

    @robertkwild Yes, it’s perfectly safe for you to manually deleted the image directory/files. You are the administrator.

    @sebastian-roth

    Update…
    It appears updating the init.xy file AND adjusting the KERNEL RAMDISK SIZE setting was the key to get it working. Only have tested with 1 of the images created on the new 1.5.9 server, deploying on the 1.5.5 server. Looks like we can limp along doing this until we can get the other sites updated, which is in motion now.

    I owe you guys a beer! Thank you again!

    @robertkwild said in syspreping a vanilla windows golden image:

    i found this, you can sysprep win10 up to 1001 times

    Just to be a bit snarky, if you have to sysprep your image 1000 times, I think you might be doing something wrong or IT should not be your field of work.

    But on the less snarky side its good to know the number and hopefully I’ll never personally need it. As I said we use MDT to build the golden image so I get a fresh from DVD image (with current windows updates) each time the golden image is recreated.

    @quazz Too add on a bit,

    If you find something that doesn’t work, let us know. We will most likely request some more technical information so that we can do the research to find out if there’s a way to add it, or a patch we can use to incorporate, or we will find there is nothing we can do currently.

    The point here is, you’re absolutely correct: We don’t know what will or will not work. We have some good google fu and only a few developers and testers working to get information so we can be as hardware agnostic as possible. But we aren’t all knowing. We know a new version was released and do our best (granted I’ve been slacking lately I suppose) to keep the kernels updated and including anything that maybe missing that we can add.

    If it works, YAY, if it doesn’t, and we say try this kernel, if it works YAY, if it doesn’t let us know. We’ll ask for information and probably even walk through what we need and how to get it. Then we’ll try to find out information and give back whether or not we can do anything, and if we were able to do it, to test out the new thing. If it works, YAY, if it doesn’t rinse and repeat.

    @echophi The FOG installer will take care of package installs for you and it will error out if it’s unable to install the correct packages. Please run dpkg -l | grep php to see what you have still left installed.

    I would suggest you just re-run the FOG installer and let us know to what point it runs.

    Just wanted to follow up on this for anyone else in same situation. Essentially the VtoV works just fine. As we had changed hostname and IP we only ended up having to reinstall the FOG client on the desktops for them to become in sync with the new FOG Master server. All other things just worked.

    Cheers Tom

    @jonathanho92 said in no configuration method succeed dhcp fail please help:

    this happen only when multicast we have no problem with unicast

    I don’t think this is the case. The bootup for both multicast and unicast are exactly the same at this early stage.

    I guess you are using different devices when multicasting?! Use the exact same physical for unicast and I’d be very sure you see the same error.

    @dudenamedben What hardware are you booting on?

    For your INFO
    snponly.efi is to undionly.kpxe
    as
    ipxe.efi is to ipxe.kpxe

    In the only boot loaders, snp and undi use the built in nic firmware drivers to talk to the nic card. Where ipxe. has all of the network card drivers built into the ipxe boot loader. In the early days of uefi the snp drivers were terrible, that is where the FOG developers recommend to use ipxe.efi. The problem is with very new hardware, the iPXE developers might not have included the drivers in the ipxe build just yet, where the snp nic driver will work.
