    @Mr_K
    Thanks for the help Tom. You got me pointed in the right direction. Everything is working now.

    I did a complete Ubnutu and fog fresh install to make sure I wasn’t missing anything and noticed during the installation it was grabbing my WAN IP as the fog server IP and then somehow changing the fog server IP to my LAN IP. So when I clicked on the link from the terminal after it had finished it was 192.168.1.148 however everything was setup “certs, storage Ipxe” ect as my WAN IP 20.21.X.X.

    All I had to do was just change the fog settings so the IP’s matched re ran the installer to grab the new files and everything is running perfect now.

    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!
