    Hi everyone,

    Has anybody ever tested deploying WS from FOG? I’m deploying a lot of servers these days and having FOG able to do that would be nice.

    If not, I may test today. I don’t want to have to move to MDT/WDS/DSC unless I have to for this.

    Thanks!

      Yep. No problemo.

      Server Standard 2016, Hyper-V Core 2016, Server Core 2016 captured as Windows 10.

      Sysprepped of course.

      I haven’t captured Server 2019 yet, but I wouldn’t expect any issue.

        Are you deploying servers to physical hardware or virtual? If its virtual what hypervisor?

        I use vSphere so I don’t use FOG at all. We use MDT to create a golden image in vSphere, then sysprep, and finally convert the VM to a template. From there when we need a new server we just create a new VM from template. With this method I can create a new VM in about 20 seconds and have it booting into WinSetup/OOBE. I might expect Hyper-V to have a create from template function too, I don’t know.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          I’ve deployed to physical, Hyper-V and Vmware without issue.

            @sudburr Nice, I’ll start working on images. Any snapins? Can feature installations be set with Snapins?

              @george1421 Virtual, Hyper-V. I’ll look into that more. I know there’s Desired State Config, but I need to read more.

              Thanks!

                @THEMCV said in Deploying Windows Server?:

                Can feature installations be set with Snapins?

                While I don’t use snapins, features can be added with powershell such as in:

                Import-Module ServerManager
                Add-WindowsFeature FS-NFS-Service

                  It should. OS isn’t really that relevant. Its the component software: webserver software, php, and mysql that you need to make sure is compatible.
