    I think you could, technically, teach a frog how to create an array, but I suppose you mean fog?

    Get iPXE Menus to Resemble Old Syslinux PXE Menus?

    Could anyone help me with just getting the colors as per my original post. I have been in the iPXE General Config | Menu colors, pairing, settings for hours and cant wrap my head around whats whats.

    Put simply, here is the color scheme I am aiming for:

    title text and selected text to be 0x0077c8 (selected text white background) background black unselected text white

    Right now both UEFI and BIOS are greyish title, white selected text with red background, red unselected text. Its really hard on the eyes.

    I have been mulling over:
    http://ipxe.org/cmd/cpair
    http://ipxe.org/cmd/colour

    and my boot.php and just cant wrap my head around what changes what. I have tried playing around with it and the results so far have been 100% not what I expected making it impossible to gain any traction on it. Some options I cahnge and expect to see a difference appear to do nothing, others I change and expect a certain element/color to change and something completely different changes.

    Thank you

    Securing NFS

    You also have to ask your self “What are the risks of having nfs on your fog server configured this way?” Is the data contained in your images a high value target? Do they conain PII or PCI or regulated data? How could the data contained in these multi-gigabyte images be used against your company or for financial gains of the hackers?

    Yes the fog server’s nfs shares are a bit open. You can restrict access with NFS v3 to a range or subnet of IP addresses. NFSv4 could be implemented but other than ticking off a check box what is the real value of the activity? What are you trying to protect?

    I can’t answer these questions for you, its based on what your company is trying to protect and the risks of doing something vs nothing.

    @sebastian-roth Not a bad thought.

    I enabled the API in FOG Configuration > Fog Settings > API Enabled > Update and copied the API key.
    I then created a new user and got their API key.
    I am trying this:

    curl -H 'fog-api-token: <server token>' -H 'fog-user-token: <user token>' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X GET http://fog.home/fog/system/info

    And I get a 404:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>404 Not Found</title> </head><body> <h1>Not Found</h1> <p>The requested URL /fog/system/info was not found on this server.</p> <hr> <address>Apache/2.4.33 (Ubuntu) Server at fog.home Port 80</address> </body></html>

    Something else I need to do to enable?

    EDIT:
    Switched to working branch as per this, no luck: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11764/api-broken-after-update-to-1-5-2
    Same issue when trying via IP instead of DNS name.

    Using FOG as Multi-Arch/Distro PXE Server?

    @fishfox While I find your post quite interesting I reckon it is just making it more complicated in this case here. I wouldn’t go down that road myself.

    @Zer0Cool As you already know most boot ISOs are a bit different and there is no simple solution for all of them. A lot do work using the memdisk but it’s causing trouble often enough.

    I guess you might find this quite helpful: https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Configuring-PXE-Boot-Servers-for-UEFI

    Has anyone tried to use the snap-in feature of Fog to send pop-up messages to users?

    @kermit1991 Sounds like a user context issue. I’m not sure on what the snap in engine runs as but I would assume SYSTEM. If this is the case your message would appear on SYSTEM’s desktop, which doesn’t exist.

    You can figure out who the snap in is running as by looking in Task Manager or testing e.g. ‘whoami > %temp%\snapinuser.txt’ – this will print the username running the script.

    I suggest using msg as well: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/msg

    Disappearing hosts from host list

    Guys, during the struggle to reproduce the issue somehow i found something strange. Let me describe it.

    Starting point: host has a valid mac, up to date. i want to change mac. It can cause 2 different output, and i think it can cause the result somehow (i will do more tests to see if it really happens, but the difference made me curious).

    mac update method1: host primary mac field is the only field, no additional field. i select the full field, then overwrite mac. result is a new mac on primary and an additional mac field appears with the previous mac address (which is wrong, as it has no another, but a new mac actually)

    mac update method2: same starting point, but i only use mouse click to the end of the field, without selection of any char i use backspace, for like 1 char, and type another char instead of the deleted one. here NO additional mac field comes to existence. why? if i change the mac any method i want to change it, not add a new one (i will make test with it, maybe this way it will disappear somehow)

    EDIT: sorry, somehow i did not notice what you wrote before me.

    @george1421 I was able to add a task with the Task Type Management plugin.

    With the below added to the kernel args I am able to boot to iso:

    && imgfree && initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/isoimg/LiteTouchPE_x64.iso && chain memdisk iso raw

    Is there a way I can chain a “Fast Wipe” task right before the boot?

    I am looking through the source for the Fast Wipe task definition but can’t seem to find it.

    Deploying provisioning package to windows 10 using PXE :: Is this possible?

    george1421G

    @bareimage Well I’m still not 100% clear on the provisioning process, TBH that is something new with windows 10 and many people are still stuck in the methods for deploy operating systems from the past. So they try to force windows 10 into something they know. We all will need to understand provisioning packages because that is the direction microsoft will go with all future operating systems.

    As I see it you could go about this in 2 ways.

    (non-fog) Use an application deployment tool like PDQ Deploy to drop the provisioning package in the proper location on the target computer and then force a reboot. This can be done remotely and all hands off. You are just placing the file in the right location and then letting windows find it on startup. What ever magic happens inside the provisioning package is done there. There is no need to pxe boot or even need fog in this situation.

    Use FOG to deploy (push) the (thick or thing) image to the target computer. Once the image is pushed to the computer, then FOG can drop the provisioning package in the proper location then reboot the computer. The target computer would then run through OOBE as it normally would. At the end of OOBE it assume it would see the provisioning package and then it would do its magic. FOG can load a 15GB thick image to a bare metal computer in about 4 minutes for a typical install. In my work infrastructure I can push that same 15GB image in just over one minute.

    Option 1 would take less internal resources since you are only dropping the provisioning package onto the target hardware. The issue you have is how will you get windows onto the bare metal to begin with? If you are using OEM versions of windows, then the target system should be loaded from the manufacturer. The risks are if the system hard drive fails you will have to manually reload widows from OEM media.

    Option 2 take more internal resources to setup, but you can then have a system to go from bare metal to fully provisioning system using the lite touch process of imaging.
