@Jbob Thank you! I’ve been building some EXEs with SFX maker, and this will simplify things greatly for me. Just gotta upload my office 2016 pro exe I complied and test it.

Also, @Sebastian-Roth when things are hash tagged wiki, after I add them I edit the hash tag and remove the hash symbol. Just an FYI so you can do the same if you wanted.

This might help:

@maafty Thank you for the feedback info.

It works 🙂 thank you.

@Wayne-Workman

It does not boot. Just goes to the bios screen.

Anything beyond 800x600 is not guaranteed to (and often doesn’t) work on a lot of monitors. We also found 800x600 scales best to different aspect ratios.

@Wayne-Workman said in Storage Node with Multiple HDD's (no Raid) possible?:

I’d also recommend sticking the OS on RAID 1, in addition to the RAID 10 for images.

I would recommend that but the OP mentioned he was having issues with RAID setting up RAID to boot from. So I was addressing the possible solutions to avoid RAID. Otherwise getting a hardware RAID card would solve the issue all together.

@ITSolutions this is true, but is the storage combined?

No the storage shows as 2 different nodes, when you create an image definition you tell it what group, either backup or default.

I’ve just released dnsmasq 2.76.

Download from http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/dnsmasq-2.76.tar.gz

It’s more than nine months since the last release, so get the new code
quick, there’s lots to go at.

Cheers,

Simon.

@ITSolutions Thanks! Got it working and shredding!

Fixed in latest.

One word: WebUI, Does Clonezilla have that? Nope, Does Windows Have that? Nope. Does FOG have it? Yep
Also i was turned away from clonezilla because it is not very professional with all the foreign writing on it, and WDS is not opensourse and only support Windows.
And my last point FOG is easy to setup, easier than samba in most cases, unlike clonezilla which is not extremely automated

@GoodGuyQ While this issue has been fixed back then I think it never really got tested by the users (who are a hell lot better at finding the odd bits and pieces that we developers just don’t think about)!! Would be awesome if you can give it a try and let us know. Be aware that things might go wrong. So always keep a full image at hand.

That said you could also do things like skipping only one partition out of three (and still do the MBR) by renaming the image files on your FOG server. Try renaming /image/<image-name>/d1p2.img for example to skip_d1p2.img and it should be skipped while deploying. At least it worked in older revisions. Let’s hope I didn’t break that when working out the single partition cloning stuff.

Looking forward to hear if it is working for you!

@elliot said in Change Fog Background iPXE boot:

var/www/fog.prev/service/ipxe

That’s your web directory backup. It’s incase things go wrong, you can just copy the previous one back to the web root.

@Vanlue-IT-Guy There were activation issues in that version. Update and it should work.

@Wayne-Workman I didn’t get a chance to test this snapin as I needed to have it done the following Monday. What I ended up doing was installing office 2013 and just not open it at all as the timer for office will not start until you open any of the applications.

@atarone I believe the answers you seek lay ahead… https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Windows_Dirty_Bit

@reub_rester Depends on what is acting as a DNS server.

I doubt your fog server is acting as a DNS server, because if it was you would know about it.

You need to create an A record on whatever is doing DNS for your environment.

Don’t forget that the machine account in AD has a password, this gets changed on a regular basis, this happens invisibly, it is a function of the way AD words.
From memory it gets changed every 30 days, and as I say is completely invisible to users and admins, the last changed date can be read from AD via LDAP, although it needs a bit of work to translate it into human readable format.
If you image a PC without sysprep, when you deploy that image it will not join the domain if the machine account password has changed.
This will need the PC to be deleted and re-added to AD to resolve.

This actually makes me wonder about the possibility of something similar to a task for imaging groups of hosts, but using multicast instead of singlecast.

Multicast session name could be the group name + incrementing number or something.
