@Wayne-Workman sure! Thanks for your help!

@mimi1255 If your current issues are not related to the original problem in this thread, please start a new thread - and we will gladly help you there.

@tlehrian It would be really great if you could test this fairly soon so we have a little bit of time in case it needs further work. The earlier we know the better! We can’t guarantee a quick fix some time in January when you really need it.

@george1421 I was able to edit the Grub.cfg and add our Fog server IP in and then boot with USB and register and capture and deploy. Thank you again for all the help.

@Pascal-Gazaille Does this mean all the symptoms of not being able to deploy to the new disks disappeared?? Scratching my head… Will mark this solved for now anyway.

@Uncle-Frank You’re amazing! What you posted is very similar to what I came up with in a thread, but I haven’t gotten around to testing it. If you get dnsmasq to work with co-existence then you’re like… everyone’s hero… for real. Because if we can get a rock-solid dnsmasq config for all types of booting - then for 95% of fog setups out there, we’ve eliminated the need to change DHCP. Fog can then come with dnsmasq setup by default and it JUST WORK without further setup. In my opinion, Linux DHCP is far superior to Windows DHCP… but dnsmasq would be the ultimate solution if we could just get it to work.

The known good systems were extremely slow as well just like the new one using 3.12

Any other scripts I an run or ideas to get some usable info towards troubleshooting?

Well Congratz lol!

@sebastian-roth Hi sorry, I couldn’t answer any sooner. “Nevertheless we ought to try out using the SNP binary (debug enabled - DEBUG=snp:3,nii:3 to start with). So find 01_snp.efi here. Just give it a try and post pictures or video. Make sure when you take those to place the camera or phone on a stack of books in front of the screen so we have a good picture.” Here you go, not much to say from my side but here goes: video Thanks!

Thanks, Wayne!

@Sebastian-Roth Sadly I am out of surface go’s to test at this time. Gotta get the ones we have in production.

@marted Just want to keep this topic up as it might be very helpful for others. Not sure if you have time and access to systems right now though.

That did work!! Hallelujah! Thanks vinyard and Tom!! I ran the following commands and now its uploading that first image: systemctl status nfs-server systemctl enable nfs-server systemctl start nfs-server Thanks guys, success at last!

@lebrun78 Just be aware there is no way back to the 1.5.x version of FOG if you switched to working-1.6 now other than very messy manual manipulations in the database. We are working towards 1.6 and hope to have most users upgrade at some point. So I am not saying you shouldn’t. Just want to make sure you understand the consequences.

@hugothebas This article applies to 1.2.0 and below: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Advanced_Boot_Menu_Configuration_options

No idea ?

@george1421 A Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you guys.

@Tune389 said: @ch3i okay thanks for the info. I try now to downgrade my fog version back to 1.2 … That’s not supported nor advised… To “downgrade” requires either restoring a previous snapshot (via a virtual machine) or rebuilding your FOG server from scratch…

Perhaps I should expand. This is what I did up to v1607. My sysprep answer file sets autologon of Administrator for 99 times. It enables the Administrator account and has the password included (hashed by sysprep). It also includes a FirstLogonCommands to run a cleanup script. That cleanup script performs the first part to remove security, rewrites the RunOnce registry value, then restarts the computer. Because the RunOnce registry value was recreated, the auto logon of Administrator launches that script again to perform further functions. After 3 more restarts the script turns off autologon, does not rewrite the RunOnce, re-enables security, then shuts the system down. With v1709 I changed how I harvest driver files and have been able to install all drivers without the need to dumb down the security. I now install all general drivers from setupcomplete.cmd .
