For the record,

If it wasn’t for the developmental versions, FOG wouldn’t work in my environment at all.

And, from what I’ve seen, it’s really stable.

Tom primarily focuses on the imaging features in FOG (who would have guessed??) and makes sure that it works for all sorts of hardware. This is understandable, because he is only one man, and fog has a lot of razzle dazzle plugins and other features that aren’t specific to Imaging -> Naming -> Joining to domain

And, of course, all I do with fog is: Image -> Name -> Join to domain… and FOG is really good at that.

yes merge the information. then do a page insertion on the old page. This way both pages will have updated info

Edit:

See this page for what I mean…[url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Multicast[/url]

[quote=“PaganLinuxGeek, post: 42774, member: 2226”]Already considered that. It’s not an option on this device. 😕 I have a raspberry PI running on the home lan that could handle dhcp as it’s always on.[/quote]

Install FOG with DHCP anyways, then disconnect from that modem/router thing. Use a cross over cable to connect directly to the target machine.

Thank you very much for your job, Liam!

Now I am working in my Final Project of Technical Computer Science Career.

This document will help me much more reading a lot of documents 🙂

If I have any questions, can I use this same thread to ask? Thanks in advance,

T. Capablo.

yes, the server is dhcp. i tried another switch , same resaults , i will test some more options, and update in the coming days.
thanks

FOG and Windows 8/8.1 can work with the UEFI default of 4 partitions (Partition 1 usually being the Protective MBR, Partition 2 being the Recovery, Partition 3 being whatever it is microsoft decided it to be, and Partition 4 being the main data partition) This is what is typical of a default Windows 8/8.1 install with UEFI enabled. Yes, the file system is also structured in GPT which also should work fine. Under the Default Windows 8/8.1 setup, with UEFI enabled, the only requirement before an imaging task occurs is to disable Secure boot, and re-enable it once the imaging task is complete.

Maybe you could try the latest and greatest in SVN to see if it may help you with the default partitioning scheme done by the Lenovo installation disks? I’ve try to make as dynamic as possible and rely purely on the disk layout scheme over specifically telling the HDD where and what partitions to place.

After some playing around I got the error to go away but now the only thing that comes up on the screen is a hyperlink to tightvnc.com. I have no clue on what to look at next to get this to work.

I can tell you from personal experience that FOG and Kace can coexist. Look into the ITNinja forums for setting the 244 option for DHCP for the K2000 and leave DHCP option 66 for FOG. Then look into PXE chaining to the IP address of the K2000 if you still want to use it for imaging. The K1000 and K2000 are completely separate so you shouldn’t have to worry about the ticketing/inventory system at all.

Our FOG installation works similarly to the K2000 Dell drivers feed where it uses DPInst to install hardware-specific drivers after sysprep based on Dell model number. (You may also need to rebuild your KBE ISO to tell it to use option 244.)

Added some commands, cleaned up others; tweaked remarks; functionally identical.

Updated to a single line copy/pasted post-install configuration and SVN2651.

Jesus. Great job! As one, I know that took a lot of work. Thanks.

Tweeked some more.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 38577, member: 7271”]While you are using your router, are you specifying the next-server/option 66 and filename/option 67 options?

It seems to me the reason your systems aren’t getting ipxe/pxe menu is simply because they don’t know where to get it.[/quote]

Yes it is (i’ve seen your replys to everyone else so i made this was correct)

We’ve been running fog on centos since .20 and haven’t really had any issues. i prefer this since it’s pretty much the closest free redhat.

The simplest tutorial EVER…

Copy the images you need to the location you need: E.G.
From the machine you want to be the new location
[code]scp -r fogserverOldContainer:/images /
touch /images/.mntcheck
touch /images/dev/.mntcheck
chmod -R 777 /images[/code]

Make all the associations and make sure the paths for the new images is setup according to your, now, existing image files E.G.

If you have Win7Sysprepped, XPImage14, Image3, iMage4

Create the images in the GUI by going to the Image Management page.

You can name them whatever you like. Just ensure the path to the image matches that of the images contained:

So under this knowledge you can make them whatever name you want, but the Image Path’s would need to be:
Win7Sysprepped
XPImage14
Image3
iMage4
respectively according to the parameters.

You’ll also need to specify the Image OS (Windows 7, Linux, Windows XP, etc…) And if you’re running on SVN (maybe 1.2.0?) The imgPartitionType.

Most of your images will have an imgPartitionType of all.

iirc you could setup a NAS as a storage node without fog installed on it.

I would like to see a plugin for FreeNAS…

that’s great, thank you

Somewhat old thread, but you can disable the ping on the host lists by going to FOG Configuration->FOG Settings->General Settings->FOG_HOST_LOOKUP and clearing the checkbox. Easier than disabling the javascript file. There’s a possibility this was introduced in the time between your post and my find, but if not, it’s here for others.

I think you’d be able to follow the same guide, though not all things are the same, I believe the Pro/Enterprise/Ultimate versions of Vista have more or less the same thing. The only major change, besides boot info, that I’m aware of between Vista and 7 is the GUI.
