@lerne-nie-aus said in Deployment without Register and credentials:

Or where i can find some batch file or unattendend.xml to check for zero touch deploying?

This is a MS Windows thing and not really anything that FOG cares about. The unattend.xml and sysprep there are many examples of how to do that part on the internet. How I do this is I use MDT to build the golden image then sysprep and power off the golden image VM. Then reboot the golden image VM and capture with FOG. So FOG only moves the disk image from local hard drive to and from the FOG server. Once the image is copied over to the target computer and the target computer is rebooted then FOG does not touch it any more.

My Question was, if i dont need to select this image and if i can set it up somewhere else as default.

Just so I’m clear here, You want to PXE boot into iPXE and then have a single image deployed to a computer without anyone touching it? Like PXE boot then image is deployed? If you think about its like a deep freeze system restore? I’m just trying to understand your use case. Can it be done with FOG? yes. Should you do this? I can’t answer that.

Thank you both for your help! George and I were messaging back and forth and my DHCP policies and scopes were pretty messed up. Looking back I have no idea how it worked before. After completely changing them the machines are booting into FOG again just fine. Appreciate the quick responses!

@sebastian-roth Thanks!! We will double your pay! I love the FOG project and I really appreciate the FOG community! thanks again!

@lerne-nie-aus Well you have 1 big issue and a few small issues.

The big issue is that the OS that clone’s the disks is linux based so it can’t directly interact with the target windows OS.

With that said, the proxy settings for Windows are typically deployed via Windows GPO policy.

The proxy settings are user specific, so the values are stored in HKCU (current user) and not in a system location (HKLM).

@jaceituno Do you still see all the images listed? What about groups, maybe snapins, printers and older tasks? What is still there and what is missing? Any obvious error messages in the FOG web UI?

@blueberry By default the iPXE binaries go into /tftpboot/ in your FOG server.

@sebastian-roth Thanks, i did it with rename.

I am not expert so i wanted give the options by instalation. Thats why i just renamed the .fogsettings file.

@sebastian-roth Perfect. The original install was through a Group Policy .msi push, so I added the newer agent to replace the old one. Appreciate the quick info!

@doc Having backups would have saved you some pain, but you can rebuild it.

Understand this memory is vague, but I seem to recall if the fog client is installed on your target computers, when the fog client checks in, the registration will be created, but in a pending state, where you need to authorize the client in the FOG Web ui. If it still works that way, this may be a way to rebuild the registrations without much pain. The other options may be to add the hosts via a csv file into the host table, there may be a web ui option to import hosts too. You will at least need hostname and mac address.

@poizzon Same here. I tried replacing in S: partition to the latest rEFInd but still getting stuck at “initializing”.

Finally got a chance to run the upgrade again and figured out my issue.

For some reason safari wasn’t happy with the upgrade. I can open fog fine from a private window or if I cleared history. It doesn’t open in Chrome, which was my other test because chrome doesn’t trust the ssl cert and no longer gives an option to bypass by default.

@george1421 That’s probably why its not working, I have my root account username is fog. Thank you, I will change it

@Pinki This sounds like a layer 7 firewall is in between FOG server and the client/host. Sometimes alles the transfer of init.xz but more often blocks it.

The later error is due to the firewall not allowing connections on random network ports which are used by NFS.

Either way you need to talk to your network/security team and see if they can help.

@john-l-clark Up til this point we didn’t change anything. If you were able to make the database server change then we could do the next step that will solve the speed issue. SO with that said, its probably running fine now but the slowness will be back.

When you are to the point where you want to continue let me know. We can work through the rest of the changes.

@mesaman0182 Simply use the command mysql -u fogmaster -p (don’t add the password to the command line but wait for the command to ask you for the password)

@sebastian-roth

[17-Oct-2021 14:55:07 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Error multiple hosts returned for list of mac addresses in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/hostmanager.class.php:209

Could it be that?

Absolutely! Search the forums for this error and you will find help.

@george1421 HI George,

I’ve started again replcing all config files and checking /boot has no refind.conf files.

i’m now at a point where I have both choices in fog:

The orginal refind.conf option works AND i can change default boot choice.

The new refindx2.conf option is ignored, i can even delete refindx2.conf and it still boots into a refind menu. I’ve also checked the refindx2 option and it’s not reading the original refind.conf.

here’s me remade settings:

bootmenu.class.php

public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); $grubChain = 'chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/grub.exe ' . '--config-file="%s"'; $sanboot = 'sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80'; $refind = sprintf( 'imgfetch ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refind.conf%s' . 'chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refind_x64.efi', "\n" ); $refindx2 = sprintf( 'imgfetch ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refindx2.conf%s' . 'chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refind_x64.efi', "\n" ); if (stripos($_REQUEST['arch'], 'i386') !== false) { //user i386 boot loaders instead $refind = sprintf( 'imgfetch ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refind.conf%s' . 'chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/refind_ia32.efi', "\n" ); }

and further down the same file

self::$_exitTypes = array( 'sanboot' => $sanboot, 'grub' => $grub['basic'], 'grub_first_hdd' => $grub['basic'], 'grub_first_cdrom' => $grub['1cd'], 'grub_first_found_windows' => $grub['1fw'], 'refind_efi' => $refind, 'refind_efix2' => $refindx2, 'exit' => 'exit', );

service.class.php

if (empty($name)) { $name = $this->get('name'); } $types = array( 'sanboot', 'grub', 'grub_first_hdd', 'grub_first_cdrom', 'grub_first_found_windows', 'refind_efi', 'refind_efix2', 'exit', );

@crustyjeff Search the forums for “mac passthrough” and I am sure you can figure out what this is about.
