    Here is a clearer forum version:

    What I meant is this:

    If a group is created but no hosts are added to that group, opening/clicking that empty group in the FOG dashboard throws an error in the browser.

    I tested this on two separate FOG instances and got the same result on both.

    Example: If the group sysprep-test-5002 is clicked in the screenshot below.

    The browser shows this SQL error:

    You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 8

    Expected result:

    FOG should open the empty group normally and show that it has no members, instead of generating a SQL syntax error.

    @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!

    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.

    @heix75 No.

    Not because it’s not a QOL improvement (it is) but because what you see in 1.5.x.x is NOT what is the end goal.

    If you want to see what the UX is moving toward install the version of FOG on working-1.6.

    You’ll understand (I hope), then, why I’m saying this.
