    I want to close the loop on this in case other folks run into this. Although the Wyse 5060 thin client supports UEFI mode, it looks like it’s buggy enough that none of the pxe files included with Fog will boot it. Legacy mode works however, so that’s what I’m going with. I actually did a test on each file in /tftpboot and here are the results:

    c68fa3c6-af25-4320-aa01-daf8263a7fc7-image.png

    So I’m going with undionly.kpxe.

    The other issue I’ve had is that once I did a Win 10 IoT install on a legacy-booted 5060, the fog capture process would fail, saying I needed to run fixparts. In the ‘capture - debug’ shell, the fixparts command wasn’t available, and I ended up accidentally nuking my Win10 boot partition. Oh well.

    I’m retrying this again. I have a flash drive that’s MBR (not GPT) formatted with the Win10 IOT installer. I made sure the 5060 is in legacy mode, and when I started the install I hit Shift-F10 to drop to a cmd prompt and used these commands to ensure there were no linger gpt partitions on this disk:

    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk 0
    clean
    convert mbr
    exit

    and I went ahead with the install. When windows updates finish, I’m going to attempt to capture the image and see if it works.

    @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!

    @rdr I see what you mean now. I thought FOG server saves the last IP address to its database and use it to determine if the powered off host is on the same subnet. If it is using live ARP lookups via agents to determine the subnets/agents matching then I can not customize or hardcode it.

    @scottrayr I’m not able to replicate the issue you’re seeing.
