      Hello evryone excuse me for my english i m not very good,

      can’t connect the fog server i choice PXE booting in first before hard disk and disable fast boot and secure boot but when they start they boot on PXE and after a few seconds
      they just running windows.

      so my dhcp conf :(server ubuntu with FOG 192.168.1.15) and the dhcp conf work when i boot the computer normaly i receive ip addresse, dns and everything i put in the conf.

      option domain-name “ubuntu-fr.lan”;
      option ntp-servers 192.168.1.254;

      subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
      range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.100;
      range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.200;
      }

      next-server 192.168.1.15;
      filename “undionly.kpxe”;

        This version of FOG is very old and Ubuntu 16.04 is not brand new either. Why did you choose those versions in the first place?

        but aftert a few seconde still booting on windows

        You need to change BIOS settings to network/PXE booting.

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          I choice this version cause the tutorial i found was on this ubuntu version and on this fog version, it can be a problem ?

          for the the bios i already setup network pxe ipv4 in first place

          Maybe i should try to reinstall newer versionn of fog on newer version of ubuntu ? if so do u have good tutorial ? with dhcp install ?

            Not a problem per se but there have been a lot of bugs fixed since FOG 1.4.4 and we don’t really support those old versions. Which tutorial did you use?

            for the the bios i already setup network pxe ipv4 in first place

            Do you see the FOG PXE menu (white background, selection menu items) when booting the machine? If not then I would expect your machine is set to UEFI. Instead of filename "undionly.kpxe"; you should use filename "ipxe.efi";

            Maybe i should try to reinstall newer versionn of fog on newer version of ubuntu ? if so do u have good tutorial ? with dhcp install ?

            While things might look a bit different in the newer versions you should be able to get the same setup with current versions (FOG 1.5.9 and Ubuntu 20.04). While that doesn’t solve the problem you see right now I would still say you should use newer versions right from the start.

            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

              I fully agree with Sebastian to upgrade your kit to get support.

              As for your dhcp server settings, if you review the following link you will see what FOG would install if you selected FOG to be your dhcp server. Look at the tests for the specific hardware to see that this configuration will dynamically switch between uefi and bios systems: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence#Example_1

              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!

                ok thank i actually install newer version of ubuntu not 20.04 but 19.10 cause i already have this iso,

                i install again and i change the dhcp conf with filename “ipxe.efi” and i give you new later.
