batch file should have:

shutdown /r

This will notify all users logged on that in 1 minute the computer will reboot … snapin executes with exit 0 🙂

You could always write a script to uninstall the client service once you’re finished with it and push it out via Group Policy.

“Organizational Unit” now appears to be a drop-down menu (inside Hosts > Active Directory). But putting in the domain admin credentials doesn’t populate the drop-down, and I can’t enter anything in it. Is there a trick?

@deadturtle,

With this methodology, do your systems still talk to boot.php? I thought this was the method I was using for the grub exit system though?

i better answer my question myself. have a look at the wiki

[url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Advanced_Boot_Menu_Configuration_options[/url]
[url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Include_SystemRescueCD[/url]

That’s excellent news then!

(Was referring to this in 0.32: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Multiple_TFTP_servers[/url])

In that case you could try ipxe.kpxe

Sounds great! Thanks. That’s what I planned to do until I went to go download and saw the FOG VM… that caused me to pause and question.

Thanks for all the replies! Good information to have. I guess what I should probably be more concerned about is the fog server serving up the tftp boot file to every client as they reboot. I imagine at the start of the school year a lot of machines will be booting up at the same time, but only time will tell.

[quote=“Jaymes Driver, post: 30645, member: 3582”]I hit 6 GB/min on 0.32… I have never seen anything image faster than that, but it could be my equipment.[/quote]

on this particular computer, it started at 7MB/min (probably caching and not actual transfer speed being represented here) and it never dropped below 6MB/min for the duration of the imaging process.

you can update right to 1.1.1
make sure you have backups before you try

Hi again Tom,
I’ve updated to 1.1.1 and the behaviour is the same. Launching a mullticast deploy the associated snap-ins are not launched.
By the way, what is the deployment button that appears in host list for? It seems to launch a deploy of one host using multicast, but that doesn’t have much sense.
Regards.

Frank

Not to hijack the thread or anything 😉 but I think this is a related question:

Running Fog 0.32 - Do I need to upgrade to 1.0.0 first, or can I upgrade directly to 1.1.1 following the same upgrade steps in the wiki?

The NFS that works is on a Windows server, and the one I haven’t gotten working yet is on the FOG server. And I do have it in the exports file, but come to think of it I should take another look at the settings it has.

1827, technically now.

No… so I am not familiar with what a FAI server does. Does it behave like FOG where it will replace its standard menu with a chainload if you give a task for a workstation that is registered to it? Or does it only supply a menu during its PXE boot every time no matter what?

change the arch to amd64 and see if you get the same errors
