Boot Order
-
And through FOG, it is possible to change the Boot Order? During deployment, the Boot Order switches to Windows/Debian/Ubuntu. But suppose I want to change it again automatically when creating an OS Task, so that the machine boots via iPXE again and installs the OS I need. If this is possible, please clarify how to do it.

@chevengur I have not had to do this before, but I can tell you in concept how to go about it.
You will need to create a post install script, that script gets executed just after the image is pushed to the computer and before its rebooted. This script is a bash shell script (remember the FOS engine is linux based).
Since it is linux based you will need to use linux command line tools to reset the boot image. The tool named is efibootmgr. This command is built into FOS linux engine.
So on its simplest form, you will create a FOG post install script and that script will call the efibootmgr to set the boot image. Understand that MS Windows will change this order without notice and at random times during its life.
Its not hard to do, but it will take a little effort on you to work out what is needed.
I can’t give you a step by step on how to do this but I can give you a general direction to look in if you want to go down this path.
