UEFI is not booting with Windows DHCP
-
I recently installed Fog server with Windows 2022 DHCP. I can boot with BIOS after changing the boot file to undionly.kpxe but I am unable to boot from UEFI with secure boot disabled after changing the boot file to snponly.efi.
I tried this settings also. [https://docs.fogproject.org/en/latest/kb/how-tos/bios-and-uefi-co-existence/#using-proxydhcp-dnsmasq](link url)
Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue.

@cjiwonder what type of NIC is in the pc you’re trying to boot in to fog with? I always use either ipxe.efi or intel.efi. Ipxe.efi being my first choice. My organization uses all HP pcs so in some of the newer models G10 laptops I have to use intel.efi. Try the ipxe.efi though and see if that works for you. It should.

@cjiwonder Your issue is secure boot. The FOG Project doesn’t have signed ipxe boot loaders or FOS imaging engine. Secure boot is blocking both of them from running. Turn secure boot off for imaging and it will work for you. Once imaging is done you can reenable secure boot.

@JamiesonCA092 My NIC is intel, tried both ipxe.efi and intel.efi but no luck.

@george1421 Already secure boot is disabled.

@cjiwonder said in UEFI is not booting with Windows DHCP:
Already secure boot is disabled.
sorry I missed that in your first post.
What error do you see? Is iPXE even trying to boot?
The difference between ipxe.efi and snp*.efi is in the network adapter. If iPXE boots but can’t find the network interface then you are not selecting the correct version of iPXE. But if iPXE never boots (what I suspect) then there is something wrong with the mechanics of getting the uefi boot file to the target computer. What error does the computer screen say? Something about “NBF”?
