  Thank you for this information. I will have to come back to this at a later date though. I really do want to continue with this but our school district is in the middle of preparing machines and we’re relying on FOG heavily right now. I am not a Linux user so everything is new to me right now, so if we lose FOG, it will set us back a bit. Once projects are done I will come back to this. Thanks again.

  @Jamaal From the error message I would imagine that this last call is failing because an earlier query also failed and variables are not being set correctly because of the earlier error. So you need to post the full error you see! I am not a PowerShell wiz but from what I know the read-host stuff you added should work.

  @iamyogo I’d be keen to hear if any of these did not show the error.

  @lebrun78 said in https, with home certificates and boot.php… No such file or directory (http://ipxe.org/2d0c613b): ./installfog.sh -C -K I really hope you don’t use the fog-client software as re-generating the internal CA will break all communication to the fog-clients. I modified /etc/httpd/conf.d/fog.conf with… This will be overwritten as soon as you re-run the FOG installer. I know this part of FOG needs some more attention but I can’t find the time to get into all of this. So I lost track of the SSL stuff a few weeks ago. Will need to work on the wiki article about this again: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=HTTPS (this is not ready-set-go yet) I tried to generate a new ipxe configuration cd /opt/fogproject-1.5.9-RC2/utils/FOGiPXE/ ./buildipxe.sh You will need to specify your CA cert on the command line when building and manually copy the binaries over after that, e.g.: cd /opt/fogproject-1.5.9-RC2/utils/FOGiPXE/ ./buildipxe.sh /etc/httpd/cert/DigiCertCA.crt cd ../../packages/tftp/ find -type f -exec cp -Rfv {} /tftpboot/{} \;

  @mhx Ok then lets extend a bit on what Sebastian suggested. Right now the main issue is PXE booting into FOG, and your firmware’s absence of a uefi network stack. So what we are going to attempt is to supplement your firmware by booting the iPXE boot loader directly from a uefi bootable memory stick using this process: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6350/usb-boot-uefi-client-into-fog-menu-easy-way typically the PXE rom in your network adapter reaches out via bootp and downloads the iPXE boot loader from the network, in this case we are going to load it directly from the USB flash drive. That flash drive can be tiny in todays standards. The iPXE boot loader can easily fit on a 512MB flash device. There is no need for anything bigger since it will be just a waste of empty space.

  FOG Image Size on Client Issue

  @Derek-Newbold As a very first step I may ask you to post a picture of the error that you see on screen when an image does not properly deploy “due to image size being set to 0”. While I can’t be absolutely sure (there have been many changes and fixes since FOG 1.5.4) I am not aware of the image size playing any role when deploying an image to a host! It’s true that in FOG 1.5.4 the image size on client field is being updated and set to 0 if it fails deploying and that is something strange we fixed lately. It will only ever do this on captures now. Nevertheless I don’t think the image size should influence the deployment process in any way. Please provide error messages.

  @ITHand Have you read through this topic start to end? May I ask you to do the database queries mentioned below and see if you can find out if one of the MAC addresses is already in the DB and which one it is. Take a very close look at all the network interfaces you have in your network manager on Windows - also tunnel interfaces and such.

  @DennisRentAll Let’s take one step back here. Is this a fresh clean install of FOG showing this issue or has this worked before and the problem turned up just now? What Linux OS is this running on? Firewall disabled? SELinux disabled?

  @UWPVIOLATOR said in Error trying to restore GPT partition tables. Exit returned code 4: I uploaded it again and I didn’t do anything different and it worked. It’s very strange you don’t seem to get consistent results with this. I have seen converted MBR/GPT partition layouts that caused such an issue but those didn’t fix themselves! Could it be something with FOG running into issues capturing? Do you see any errors when capturing? May I ask you to rename the /images/000-1909UEFI/ folder to /images/000-1909UEFI_bak1/ and re-capture again. See if it deploys properly or fails. Try go get two image directories, one that is causing the deploy error and one that doesn’t. Then grab all the files from both image directories except the large d1pX.img files, ZIP them up, upload to a fileshare and post a link here! I will take a look. I saw in update notes that there has been some error checking added. Is that possibly the issue? Can you be more precise on what you saw and where? There have been hundreds of changes since FOG 1.5.6 and I am not sure what you mean.

  @scosta It’s good you ask in the forums before taking this step. Better to consider this thoroughly than heading into it blindly. A few things come to my mind: FOG 1.5.9 is on the doorstep and I suggest you wait for that! Between 1.5.4 and 1.5.5 (and later!) where was a major change in the way FOG replicates images and snapins. See the important notice in the official release statement. So I would say updating main server and all storage nodes in mandatory in this case - at least for all the nodes that get the images replicated. Have you used ClusterSSH before? In my last job I updated our servers by the lot - like 12 or so in one go. If you have a screen huge enough you could do even more I suppose. We don’t support offline updating as of now. But if you are keen you could hack the installer script to skip the steps that need a connection to the internet.

  @sbenson But the other location was fast at one time. Or the root of the issue is the location IS the difference that causes speed issues??

  @zyzhang Yes you can delete an image through the web UI and it will delete it on disk as well. But you have to make sure you use the delete button in the image settings view - not the multi delete from the list view!
