  When and Image is captured multiple times, does it overwrite the previous capture? Or is there a way to access captures from different dates?

  @yeet said in When and Image is captured multiple times, does it overwrite the previous capture? Or is there a way to access captures from different dates?:

  Would I just need to back up the /images folder, or are there other components that would need backing up as well?

  Backing up /images is enough for what you want to achieve. BUT keep in mind that you keep track of image setting changes as well. So if you need to go back to an older image you can switch back to an older image setting as well. Those settings are not changed often and so backing those up alongside is probably too much (useless) effort.

  I tried this solution with Windows 21H1 the image capture and deploy works without any problems from a 1 TB NVMe SSD to the 500 GB SATA SSD.

  @yeet @george1421 @Sebastian-Roth

  Need to test it again, there are a lot of time that I test it, but the uefi firmware takes de capabilty to add trusted files, so, i you add the efi files to that database you can boot the pc from that file and continue using fog

  the most of the problem is to update the .efi files

  take this as example, when i can i try it again to certify it

  @brakcounty I don’t have access to my production fog server at the moment, but I’m wondering if the history table keeps track of “deploy image” imaging…

  This bit probably won’t help you retrospectively, but in my environment we don’t register the target computers with FOG, we use the “Deploy image” route. We do use MDT to build our golden image though. In MDT we have a task sequence that creates a registry key with the build date the golden image is created because we typically rebuild our golden image once a quarter. With a PS query we can query AD and the target computers to find out the unique build date of all of the deployed images. In a way we could back into the number you are seeking.

  So the question for you is… is there something unique that would identify the target computer as being deployed by FOG? Some unique software or registry setting that would say this image was built by our golden image deployment environment?

  From a FOG perspective, once you deploy an image via the “Deploy image” iPXE menu FOG forgets the target computer ever existed. The question in my mind is of the history table keeps any lingering memories of the target computer’s mac address or such.

  @yeet Good you have found FOG’s cron scheduled taskings. That’s the way to go for what you are asked to do.

  @brakcounty That is defined in the web ui. That is the default user account you login as the admin. If you create another user account on your fog server you can use that for the iPXE menu instead of fog

  @junkhacker I built an ipxe image using the fog’s kernels and files and made them into a vISO then mounted it to my vm. Boot from it, then normally it would load ipxe and eventually the fog menu. since I updated vbox it stopped working. yeah I’ll have to play with it.

  Wait nevermind I figured it out. I enabled the “Hide Menu” option under Fog Configuration>iPXE General Configuration>Menu Hide/No Menu settings. Pressing ESC after entering the FOG tftp server IP shows the login menu. Perfect!

  @astrugatch said in Script to detect and repair AD Biding:

  Is that separate from the cert that is used for HTTPS? Do I need to generate a new cert or does that come from the install as long as it is recent?

  It’s separate from the cert used for HTTPS. Nothing you need to mess with. It’s a code siging certificate and it’s bundled into the fog-client. So if you use a recent one you are good to go.

  @nick the client communicates entirely with web based services on the fog server. in fact, if you know what to put in the url bar you can do most (maybe all, i can’t remember) of the call/response in a browser to see what gets returned when the client makes requests. which is something we do when troubleshooting.

  Well it loads ALOT faster, but still does the same thing.

  @OmegaXis While I have not tried it myself I would think it’s not a big deal. Start reading up on bash scripting and start with simple scripts like this one:

  #!/bin/bash # my installer script APT_GET_PATH=$(command -v apt-get) [[ -z $APT_GET_PATH && -x /usr/bin/apt-get ]] && APT_GET_PATH=/usr/bin/apt-get $APT_GET_PATH -y update $APT_GET_PATH -y install -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold name-of-new-package

  Instead of name-of-new-package use the package you want to install.
