Wouldn’t say it was large but have 600+ PC/laptop network, as always questions are welcome. What may be a good start is if you said more about your network/setup and plans

Fog can hold all the inventory as well. Makes thing very easy down the road.

If you know the MAC’s and Hostnames, you could create a CSV that contains the MAC and Hostname. I forget all the bit’s and bobs, generated from your current inventory to make importing them that much easier.

It doesn’t cost anything, I just have to figure out where the bug is and squash it.

Thanks! I’ll start working on that, and I’ll let you know if it works or if I run into any other problems.

Thanks again!

The VOIP phones do run on the same subnet as the network. I just made it an isolated network.

Thanks!

This sounds like a job for the Location Patch created by Lee Rowlett, Maybe he can chime in here!

Awesome !, Thanks Kevin !!, i will give this a go. I am also trying out Capone, but it was running in to a timeout for tftp, so I restarted tftpd-tba but now it will just going in to pxe and not load the image.

I use Virtual Machines… I have pfsense controlling DHCP and FOG on Ubuntu within ESXi

Thank you chad.

If you do not have an existing PXE server and cannot modify your existing DHCP server, you can install proxyDHCP so FOG answers all DHCP client requests for PXE boot information with the information necessary to boot to FOG. Using proxyDHCP, your existing DHCP server handles all the IP address leases, but FOG also answers requests from PXEClient with additional information to allow them to boot.

There are some patches to FOG created by the community that allow you to select which HD/partition to image. Search the forums because I don’t remember right now.

Hi, my colleague found this regarding 10 Mbit mode: h ttps://communities.intel.com/thread/11355?start=15&tstart=0

If you have a way of getting the raw images access from the client, after imaging, via NFS or SMB share, then you should be able to mount the images with OSFMount in Windows.
Not tested yet.

Glad you got it. I told you I had no idea! lol.

Sorry for the outages, there was a nasty little misconfiguration that caused random database segfaults. I believe it has been resolved and things should be smoother from here.

Syed,

I would also look into this utility, [url]http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/1952.dell-client-configuration-toolkit-cctk.aspx[/url]. We run the full Latitude lineup where I work, this is what I use when I need to make changes “enterprise” wide to machines. I package BIOS settings with this utility and push them out through our deployment software. (Unfortunately, it’s not FOG).

Mike,

As FOG is being installed, it uses the apt-get methods from Ubuntu, which I’d imagine to be the same as on Debian. Tomorrow, while I’m at work, I’ll boot my Debian System(s) up and attempt an install. The first install will be with the version I’ve been working with, and the second with be with 0.32 which I would recommend for your particular setup at this point in time. I hope to give you some insight and wish the best.

Thank Tom !
worked as expected 🙂
