Windows 7 Deployment FOG- SAD2 Driver tool

Random Hero · Mar 13, 2013, 2:41 PM

I am having some issues with SAD working. I downloaded the OP’s DP_Install_Tool.txt and pasted all of that into the file on the C drive, and I get the issues in the photos I’ve attached.

I hit OK to the prompt in the 1st photo, and it proceeds to extract the files as shown in the 2nd photo, but after it extracts them all, it gives me the error you see in the 3rd photo. I’ve also attached a .txt file that contains the DP_Install_Tool that I am using.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If you downloaded a new version of the SAD2 tool, you really should use the version included there, the modifications neede to make it fit this project is minimal, and there are a lot of other changes in the script now. If you want to use the DP_Install_Tool.txt included in this guide, then make sure your also using the same SAD2 version else you will get errors.

v111118 brings me to mediafire and says “Invalid or deleted file”. Is it available anywhere else, of can somebody upload it?

It seems as though only the most current version is available. I tried everything between 111118 and the latest, and only the latest works.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see up a couple posts somebody uploaded it. I tried it and it works perfect! Thanks so much!

Negative, but the original thread posts have been updated.

I suggest reading the whole thread first though. But the instructions are still good.

First off thanks for a greate guide
I just wantede to let you know that this guide works without issues on latest version of SAD2 (v120520)

wizard210 it sounds like you have been messing around with eighter the bin folder inside drivers or you made changes to the script so it is now unable to find the bin folder.

I want to use the newest script too, which is in my case 121126, but it is “completely” rewritten.

Does somebody still have version 120520 (because it is down)?
Or has somebody an idea where to insert the code in 121126?

If this could be solved, others would be helped who whant to use an updatet version.

For now i use the original version, which can still be downloaded here: [url]http://dropcanvas.com/k9iq0[/url]

Nice work. Thanks.

hi Andyroo54

when i boot a vm , the Fog Computer Cloning Solution ( to peform Registration and Inventory) just appears and booting will be directed to HDD. i test on a physical machine booting nic on FOG and it was fine.

Note that my Fog Server is also a VM (from Vsphere).

I created also vmware_user with no password but still the same.

What could be the solution?

hi as this is not a question regarding this tutorial, can you start a new thread in the help section to keep this thread on track.

thanks

this was a very good tutorial… thanks for the Author…

My only concern now is that even if i change the hostname, restarted the machine and after logging in back it returns to the original hostname… what to do?

you need to change hostname via FOG web gui or disable fog renaming via FOG web ui

mllinang · Mar 26, 2013, 12:50 PM

i see… so this windows i just deployed cannot be renamed at all?

and will redploy an image after disabling fog renaming…

falko · Mar 26, 2013, 2:20 PM

windows should be picking up the name from its hostname as defined in FOG. (if you have the feature enabled)

if you want to change the name, change it in FOG and the pc will auto change its name.

or you can disable this auto-naming feature, and login to the pc and change it that way. without it reverting back to what it is named in FOG

I found a copy of SAD2-120520 on my computer. It can be downloaded from here - [url]https://www.box.com/s/kto1xfr0ktyr0s4l334z[/url]

hi,

i took 10-15minutes to got away from this prompt (see attached file) what could be the reason?

fogserver is a virtual machine from vpshere connected to 1gb switch port
fog client is a phyiscal machine connected to 1gb switch port

Though my imaging is sucessful, everything is fine except that i am being stucked on that mtftp connection…

Thanks

Do you have a second TFTP server on your network? I’ve never seen an MTFTP before.

mllinang · Apr 4, 2013, 3:33 PM

no i dnt have secondt TFTP… what could be the problem?

mllinang · Apr 4, 2013, 3:38 PM

Found this solution (which is relative to what we have in office)… i will try and let you know.

mllinang · Apr 8, 2013, 4:40 PM

this solution worked for me!

Have anyone of you included Gparted for FOG server? Thanks

RoidHead · May 9, 2013, 1:29 PM

I am planning on attempting this. I have never did anything like this. Do I need a dedicated server for Fog? or can I put it on our corporate server?

If your corporate server runs Ubuntu, you could install it there, but depending on what services that server provides, FOG may reduce performance of the machine during imaging operations, since the HD and NIC become so busy moving huge amounts of data.
