  Hi , I used the USB image creator script ( with my FOG IP) create-usb-image.sh but face some systematic error when trying to image MacBookPro 2015 with USB ethernet adapter

  No problem to get an IP and access the FOG server Registration works great When trying to image I get a /tmp/hinfo.txt not found and then a lot of errors I guess linked to the missing hardware info

  So I tried to verify :

  wget -q -O hinfo.txt “http://192.168.2.254/fog/service/hostinfo.php?mac=002432ae6bb2”
  And I just get " cannot view from browser"

  Other PXE bootable computers works perfectly

  Any idea on what could cause this ? Many thanks

  Hello,

  We are preparing a lab with 44 MacBooks (Apple M4, 16 GB RAM).

  Currently, we have not implemented any imaging solution yet. At the moment, we only use our Samba Active Directory domain for user authentication (LDAP/Kerberos) on the Macs.

  All machines have the exact same hardware configuration, and we need a way to create a standardized macOS image and replicate it across all devices. This deployment process is performed once every semester, so we are looking for a reliable and repeatable solution.

  We are evaluating the FOG Project as a possible solution, but we are unsure whether it supports cloning and deploying macOS images on Apple Silicon devices (M4).

  We would like to ask:

  Is FOG suitable for capturing and deploying macOS images on Apple Silicon Macs?
  How does the cloning process for macOS work in this scenario?
  If FOG is not recommended, what tools or best practices would you suggest for mass macOS deployment and domain integration with Samba AD?

  Thank you for your guidance.

  @Tom-Elliott Thanks for the clarification! I’ll try upgrading to the latest stable version, I was planning on doing this anyway.

  I’ll look into the Persistent Groups plugin and see how it works!
