Couldn’t you just store them in another folder and create soft links to them from the tftpboot folder? I haven’t tried it, but I suspect it would work. Just need to make sure the perms are the same.

[quote=“emacwizguy, post: 3473, member: 1130”]Hey, what did you use to create your winpe? I just tried Bartpe compiler and I get a chkdsk /r bsod at startup.[/quote]

I didn’t use BartPE. I used the basic guide here, [url]http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709665(v=ws.10).aspx[/url] skipping steps 3 and 4 because I was interested in just a vanilla flavor of WinPE. I’ve heard that there are lots of issues trying to get BartPE to PXE boot using FOG.

What I do for programs is store portable apps/utility programs (like the kind that UBCD would offer) on a shared network drive on one of my servers, then just run “net use” to the share once WinPE is finished loading.

In my opinion, this does two things: 1. It keeps the size of the ISO down so that it’s faster loading time 2. this allows me to add more programs without having to remake the iso.

I’ve been able to run Scans with portable AV apps, run defrags, high quality chkdsk programs, bios updates, regedits, and am now working on integrating Windows Installers (for those times when an FOG image isn’t available) into this process.

Issue solved.

It was a driver issue. The standard ubuntu driver was not working the way it should.

The driver is located here:

For the Broadcom card listed above you want the bnx2 and it is a simple make install to get it working. Hope this helps someone else.

Put me on the right track for checking the driver.

Yusuf,

We have the master server on our main site which has a single IP address, which we only use for mysql,web,pxe,tftp,wol(no images stored here). We have 5 FOG storage nodes 1 at each remote site and 1 at the main site, each storage node host images for that site to keep imaging traffic local. Each site has mutiple VLANS staff, students etc.

We have 2 Windows DHCP servers with split scopes at our main site serving over 50 VLANS for all sites.

Is TFTP working? What happens when you PXE boot the clients? Do you get to the FOG menu?

I think it is possible.

Try to follow my logic:
You make an image of a hard drive and it creates files for each partition. (That’s easy)
Once done, you have a directory and files like this.
/images/IMAGENAME/HOSTNAME/d1.mbr – Master boot record
/images/IMAGENAME/HOSTNAME/d1p1.img – C:\ Drive
/images/IMAGENAME/HOSTNAME/d1p2.img – D:\ Drive

As the above file structure shows you [B]Disk 1 Partition 1[/B] and [B]Disk 1 Partition 2.[/B]

So, if you only wish to restore the C:\ drive and not the d:\ drive, simply remove or rename the file for that partition, in this case it would be [B]d1p2.img[/B].

Now, this does not solve your issue 100% (because it will still upload/backup all partitions) ; BUT will
allow you some flexibility when downloading/restoring images.

[B]This is only theory and has not been tested/ proven by me.[/B] (but I think others have.)

I can test this theory when I find time… it could prove useful.

When you type in the username credentials in FOG type domainname\username instead of just username. This only applies to windows 7 images though.

Dear Friend,
If you have problem related reasons just like server crashing, system software malfunction, hardware failure and virus infection can easily cause corruption in SQL Server database. When SQL database corrupts, vital data get lost and important business work stops. To handle such situation, database needs to be recovered by some special methods as manual recovery is not possible in severe database corruption issues. There are several third party SQL recovery tools available that can easily repair SQL database and retrieve the data.
one tool may be [B]Kernel SQL Sever Recovery Software[/B]

You can use MySQL Workbench and cancel the task under “scheduledTasks.”

I submitted a bug sometime at the end of last year. It will be fixed in version 0.33.

I think I need help with the permissions issue with regards to fog trying to mount my Windows NFS share, can anyone assist?

Also, the upload goes to /images/dev/[mac addr] until the image is completely uploaded and moved to it’s final home at the end of the imaging processes. The chances of the upload process leaving you imageless is small, but the chance your new image is worthless due to some configuration issue, is medium.

If you have a large number of devices, you can create a new image definition and upload it just to make sure it works, then run a simple SQL statement to point all devices that used the old image ID to the new image ID.
