  After a few days of testing on a local network just using the onboard ethernet port going to a router this is already a heck of a lot easier than the previous imaging solution that I banged my head against for a month. Bare metal is definitely the way to be and I greatly appreciate the insight. I would have torn what remains of my hair out trying to figure out making that work with Virtualbox. Going from here, trying to get the final set up the way I described in my original post, it sounds like I need to look into the DHCP configuration to move the imaging to the two additional ethernet ports and off eno1, is that correct? Right now I have eno1, enp2s0f0, and enp2s0f1. eno1 will be supplying internet and I presume the other two will be on different gateways reaching out to the switch where the target PC’s will be connected to. Would this be something I can achieve using the built in tools?

  Deploying BIOS Boot Order to multiple computers (booting to network 1st)

  @drumnj said in Deploying BIOS Boot Order to multiple computers (booting to network 1st): You said you return yours to “normal” boot (I take it hd 1st) What I was referring to here is with Dell and CCTK you can set a flag in the bios that basically says on the next reboot boot to the network. On reboot+1 boot what ever the default boot device is. So if you wanted to do an unattended imaging but your normal boot device was the hard drive you could push out a FOG snapin that called cctk on next boot-boot to the LAN, then schedule a fog deployment. If the fog client is installed it will reboot the target computer and then start imaging right away.

  @Qweeqweg the change from using an account named “fog” to an account named “fogproject” is recent. in spite of directions, people kept creating and using an account named “fog” as their user account when setting up the server.

  @Sebastian-Roth Alright, good to know for the future. Since I didn’t have a clear fix, I blew up the VM and am starting from scratch. There were only two images anyway.

  @george1421 Well, potentially that was a resize bug in the inits if you’re using an NVME drive. Could also be the mount failing for some reason? Just some ideas.

  Thank you @george1421 for giving me such a complete answer. My greatest concern was looking as if I had attempted something like a cold boot attack, but if something onboard such as IME is going to show logs then I really wouldn’t bother. It’s not worth finding out if they care to distinguish, so thanks for your advice. In regards to potentially angering people like yourself, I’m grateful you were still fair to me! I didn’t take any steps that were contrary to IT’s mandate, we are after all a team. Maybe they will approve the request. :) FOG was a means to satisfy a curiosity (NDI) but will prove to be much more useful and fun with my own half-broken Desktops. Have a good one!

  How to PXE boot to a Windows PE ISO

  @zaboxmaster Ah ok that is how G4D got into the picture. You didn’t use my steps exactly. That is ok you go there. The iPXE menu that you have will only work for BIOS systems and not uefi. There are additional parameters that are needed for UEFI. I thought I had the answers hidden in that thread, but I must have removed them. This will be from memory (I have it in a config file at home) In your line like initrd http://192.168.100.160/windows/10Pro-x64/Boot/bcd BCD you need to use the -n switch to make the line look similar to this for uefi. initrd -n BCD http://192.168.100.160/windows/10Pro-x64/Boot/bcd BCD Also you will need to change out the bootmgr.exe for the uefi equivalent. initrd -n bootmgr.efihttp://192.168.100.160/windows/10Pro-x64/bootmgr.efi bootmgr.efi Again this is posted from a rusty old memory, so it should be close but not exact. Edit1: While this isn’t where I started from look a the uefi section here ref: http://mistyrebootfiles.altervista.org/documents/TinyPXEServer/files/winpe_wimboot.htm

  @dongtuuyenblackpeony Sounds very strange because the iPXE menu/task execution simply is selected via the MAC address of the client machine. That should be no different whichever state the machine is in. For example, you could even wipe the whole disk or install Linux on the drive and it should still behave same on the PXE boot! Sorry, don’t want to sound rude but have you used FOG to capture/deploy images before? Just want to make sure you know the process.

  @pdit So it’s probably something that changed in the Linux kernel that is causing this issue. I’d like to track this down but I don’t think I’ll find the time to do so in the next months. You should be able to switch between different kernels to see which version first had the issue. Find all the different kernel versions in the FOG web UI or here: https://fogproject.org/kernels/

  Fog installation to fully functioning Atftpd, iPxe system.

  @CpServiceSPb I would second Sebastian’s recommendation about setting up fog on a disposable VM. Look at the configurations as well as the install logs to see what packages are loaded during the fog installation. Fog creates its own apache configuration files so it should not step on anything existing. There are some url rewriting rules that you will need to work around. As for the tftp server, FOG only “requires” one running to server out the pxe boot files. It doesn’t care (in the end) what tftp server is running. Fog also uses phpfpm with its 1.5.x release to respond to php requests. I’m not sure of you end goal here, are you attempting to hack fog into doing something other than imaging (which is OK since its opensource)? Or are you trying to install FOG along side these other apps. If its along side, then you might want to consider using a docker container to isolate fog from the other systems. I don’t know about docker but there were some tutorial on this forum on how to setup fog in a docker container.
