problems Loading Windows iso in advanced menu.
-
@Rayco If One model is broken, does all of the same model also fail? (Or multiples of the same model more accurately.)
-
If one model fail, all of this models fails too. But if burned in to bootable cd, work fine.
Thank you a lot.

@Rayco I don’t know how you created the menu, but maybe this can help:

@Rayco Can you share the PXE boot commands you have?

initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/iso/asus/TOOL_NB64_W10GPT_V1.3.3.iso chain memdisk iso raw || goto MENUThis is a config menu.
@Tom-Elliott
If some computers work well, I must think that those that do not work is by the configuration of ipxe?I will check it, in few hours I answer you.

Not specifically related to your issue, but I wouldn’t place your files in the FOG package path if you want your files to survive an update. I would recommend you move the iso director to a root level directory on your fog server. i.e. http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/iso -> http://${fog-ip}/iso

@Rayco I would try the wimboot way that’s listed on iPXE website if I were you. I find it this is far more successful to boot WinPE than trying to boot the ISO

Just hacking your file name here. So all of these systems you are pxe booting are in uefi mode? If so we have seen some pretty flaky uefi firmware especially on Lenovo systems. I’m not saying this is your issue, just we have seen the issue. It is the handoff between either PXE rom and iPXE or between iPXE and FOS.
There is also another way to pxe boot instead of an iso image (I understand that is desirable for portability). In the link I previously posted, there is an second method for pxe booting into WinPE: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6284/booting-mdt-2013-litetouch-with-fog/6 I’m not suggesting this will fix your issue, but its something you could try.

Thanks you guys, I appreciate your advice, I will change the path of the iso folder, adopt wimboot system, and will check it tonight.
THX a lot !!!

Hello guys.
Finally, with wimboot systems work fine in all computer.
This was the code:
#!ipxe cpuid --ext 29 && set arch amd64 || set arch x86 kernel http://${fog-ip}/iso/asus/133/wimboot initrd http://${fog-ip}/iso/asus/133/BOOT/BCD BCD initrd http://${fog-ip}/iso/asus/133/BOOT/BOOT.SDI boot.sdi initrd -n boot.wim http://${fog-ip}/iso/asus/133/SOURCES/BOOT.WIM boot.wim bootThank all, a lot.
