Issue with the "Deploy Image" option

george1421

@Chris-Whiteley Lets see what your fog ipxe menu looks like. Key in the following url (update the ip add appropriate). http://ipaddress/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php&mac=00:00:00:00:00:00 Call that url with a web browser, anatomize where necessary and post the results here in a code block.

I have seen this error before where an IT admin had a custom menu item that wasn’t formatted correctly.

@george1421 This redirects to http://ipaddress/fog/management/index.php?

george1421

@Chris-Whiteley Well that’s a problem.

Looking at my url I gave it its wrong. I have the ampersand and question mark confused. Try this one: http://ipaddress/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=00:00:00:00:00:00

@george1421 Here is the code:

@Chris-Whiteley OK that menu looks good. Now in your OP it says you were deploying an image and that error is thrown? If so schedule a deploy image task and record the mac address of the host you are going to deploy to. Take that mac address and replace the 00:00:00:00:00:00 mac address in the url with the mac address of the target system you were deploying to. Lets look at that ipxe menu.

Chris Whiteley

@george1421 I will clarify…This only happens from the fog menu if I choose “Deploy Image”. It won’t do it if I kick a task off from the web, or choose the image now option from the “Full Host Reg”. Does that change where you want to go with this?

george1421

@Chris-Whiteley Ah I missed the Deploy Image from the iPXE menu.

Here is a different url to call: http://<ipaddress>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac0=00:00:00:00:00:00&arch=x86_64&username=fog&password=password&qihost=1

Update the ipaddress and the username and password that is appropriate for your installation.

@Chris-Whiteley That one is saying the user id and password in the url I provided are incorrect. You need to update those with the user ID and Password that works for imaging on your FOG server. I entered the FOG defaults of fog and password.

@Chris-Whiteley said in Issue with the "Deploy Image" option:

item Windows101809b - Windows 10 1809 (208)
item -Windows101809-Office2013 - Windows 10 1809 - Office 2013 (209)

I suspect these. Remove the dashes from the image names and see what happens.

More precisely its probably this image name :-Windows101809-Office2013

Chris Whiteley

@george1421 You are the man! That was it! I made the changes and the menu came up. It was the - before the Windows 10 1809 - Office 2013 image
