      @Sully yes that would make sense. So I can re-use this unattend.xml over and over gain and just copy it to \System32\SysPrep folder. Thanks

        Hello

        i’m trying to make the install but i’m having a lot of troble with the tftp, if i’m in the fog server i can test the transference successful with this command:
        tftp -v ds.feb.br -c get undionly.kpxe

        but when i try to do the same from a host i get a time out i already tried two tftp clients for windows and get time out from both, i can connect to the fog and ping it but not use tftp.

        I already tried to disable ufw and i get the same error.

        I’m using Ubuntu server 10.04.4

            Excellent job on documenting all of this - I know it took time. Much appreciated!

              Is there a tutorial on how to add images to the PXE menu?

                  Great tutorial. I was trying to follow some of the hyperlinks in the guide, but they’re not working?
                  " So what we want to do is look at the DriverPacks repository - here"
                  “20. First download the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) for Windows 7 – Here”
                  “vi. You can also configure Taskbar and Start Menu settings to apply to all users. Technet Article”

                  Question about the driver packs. Does it search for the best driver out of that /inf/ folder or the first one it comes to? I’m planning on dumping the extracted driver cab files from Dell’s website for each model.

                      I would also mention a part in the guide to check the box in [B]Host Menu > Join Domain after image task.[/B]

                        Why do you use undionly.kpxe instead of pxelinux.0 for the bootimage? When I used the value you gave, the PXE boot could never find the file. Is this a file that got generated someplace else?

                        Thanks!

                          Starting with 0.33B(?) FOG moved to iPXE from PXE. iPXE is using undionly.kpxe whereas PXE uses pxelinux.0 from /tftpboot. Assuming you’re running 0.33B or later, your DHCP option 67 should be undionly.kpxe, not pxelinux.0 as FOG used to use - option 66 should still be the FOG server IP. Sounds like your DHCP server isn’t set to the correct bootfile (undionly.kpxe)

                              I would like to say a big thank you to Liam for the detailed description, and I’ve one question, may be it was already answered but: It is possible to upload a Windows 7 image to fog without sysprep it? I have one image, with all the drivers and apps I need, ready for a Dell desktop which we have in our company. All the desktops are the same specs: RAM, CPU, HDD. The only thing it microsoft key, they have their own key for activation. It is possible to make a exact clone/copy as Macrium Reflect doing? Can someone answer my question please? Thanks P.S.: I’m new to linux.

                                sysprep is not required, fog has a built in mechanism for license key changing per host, and tutorial threads are NOT the place to ask questions about general fog usage methods

                                  Sorry Junkhacker, just everywhere in the forums where I was searching for help, it was said to sysprep the windows, that’s why i asked here about that. Thanks for the answer: short and good.
                                  By the way, may be you know, after uploading the image to fog, my reference pc keeps restarting, do you know what could be? Appreciating your help and answers. I saw you helping lot of people on the forums, and I followed your help files to finish my fog install. I’ve installed fog on RedHat 6 and it works very good.
                                  Thanks.

                                    with only those details to work with, no.
                                    but, again, this is not the right place to ask that kind of question. if you post this question in the right section, i’ll try to help you.
                                    it is for the benefit of all that tutorial threads are kept free of unrelated clutter.

                                      Sorry about the links, I’ve fixed all these in the tutorial now. Only took me 4 months to get round to it lol 🙂

                                        Hi Liam. First of all, congrats for your post! Just in case, would be posible share with us a snapshot of your standard VM?
                                        Thank you!

                                          Hi Liam. Regarding the Virtualbox, is there a way to share with me your snapshot file? If you agree, I can provide you my onedrive so you can upload it.
                                          Thanks so much. It could safe us a good time 🙂

                                            Hello Liam,

                                            I do appreciate the time you spent creating this document. I wanted to get clarification on one of the steps to make sure im not missing anything.

                                            The step near the end of the setup, where it says:
                                            • Set MYSQL_PASSWORD to the password you configured in the FOG
                                            • Confirm MYSQL_USERNAME is set to root account

                                            I defined a MySQL password during the install of FOG. Do i need to go in and set it again in the location you referenced? Root is not enabled in Ubuntu by default. I am not sure if this is saying i need to enable root and set that as the username for MySQL?

                                            i am able to open <fog server>/fog/management
