      Wondering if anyone has done this or if its possible currently.

      I’m wanting to create a task that tells the selected machine/s to boot to a set ISO, in this case a Windows 10 PE ISO, I know its possible to add it to the menu but I’m needing to do this to multiple machine’s at once.

      Thanks, JzJad.

        I’m thinking this is possible.

        There is a fog plugin called tasktypeedit. This allows you to create new task types. These tasks you can define a kernel and parameters to call. In this case you will create a new task called “BootWinPE” enter the proper parameters to boot your iso. Make that task visible to both hosts and groups “both”.

        Then create a new FOG group with all of your members. Once the task has been created you should now have a <group_name> -> Basic Tasks -> Advanced -> Advanced Actions (section). In theory you should be able to launch the “BootWinPE” custom task to that group of computers.

            @JzJad understand it’s still an idea but the process sounds possible.

                i did this once.
                here’s what i had to do for the kernel arguments of the custom task

                && imgfree && initrd http://${fog-ip}/<path>/Win7PE_x64.ISO && chain memdisk iso raw ||
                

                the default kernel name and arguments get passed by fog, then this says “when you’re done loading that kernel and init into memory, drop that kernel and init from memory, then load this ISO file into memory and boot from it”
