    Hello,

    i am using a Fog Server (1.5.10.1719, Ubuntu VM) since 2 years, everything works fine. I am admin of a small german university part.
    We are a part of a firm IT-Policy, in our debt we do not have any access to the dhcp server settings.
    Because of that, we use a boot via USB on every computer. It is just a ipxe boot were we have to give the IP Adress of the tftp server and then the FOG ist booting. (/EFI/BOOT/Bootx64.efi)

    Now we got new computer were we have the possibility to boot via HTTP. My thougt was, i can put the bootx64.efi file onto my fog server (/var/www/fog/bootx64.efi), set the URL in the BIOS and we can boot without the USB. But i does not work, i do not understand the failure because it is the same file.

    Maybe i got a understanding problem why does it not work. The best way would be if i could give the IP Adress also in die bootx64.efi that it would be booting without any typing.

    Maybe you have some ideas to help me with this.

    Thank you.

    Sven

    @youzersef Ok, see how long it takes me to get back on a project…lol

    I did some more looking, and found yes, the GUI will re-write the dhcp config file. However I did some more reading and I guess services.inc determines what is written by the GUI.

    Sorry, not a CLI guy, and I love the quick and easy edits, viewing issues that the GUI provides. Like Fog ! However my servers are headless…lol

    Anyway, looking that route now, and will update if I find how Negate wants services edited so when it reboots, DHCP will remain.

    Determined 🙂

    Any thank you everyone here . This place has always been great for information !
