      Description

      Hi,
      i tried this syntax to ipxe menu :
      :wimboot
      kernel http://192.168.1.140/fog/images/wimboot/wimboot
      initrd http://192.168.1.140/fog/images/wimboot/BOOT/BCD
      initrd http://192.168.1.140/fog/images/wimboot/BOOT/BOOT.SDI
      initrd http://192.168.1.140/fog/images/wimboot/BOOTMGR
      initrd http://192.168.1.140/fog/images/wimboot/SOURCES/BOOT.WIM
      boot

      but wimboot return an error after load all files:
      1_1501506825919_Capture.JPG 0_1501506825918_Capture1.JPG

        @george1421 The instructions are for pxe booting the MDT wim file, but also applies to any generic wim file.

        When I say the alias I’m referring to these in the parameters section.

        cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x64 || set arch x86
        kernel http://${fog-ip}/wimboot
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/mdtboot/${arch}/ISO/boot/bcd BCD
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/mdtboot/${arch}/ISO/boot/boot.sdi boot.sdi
        initrd -n boot.wim http://${fog-ip}/mdtboot/LiteTouchPE_${arch}.wim boot.wim
        boot
        

        Specifically the line
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/mdtboot/${arch}/ISO/boot/bcd BCD

        Notice that after the file to load there is BCD in upper case characters. Those are the alias values I’m talking about.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          Look at Method #2 here: (scroll down a bit to find it)
          https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6284/booting-mdt-2013-litetouch-with-fog

          Different wimboot file but the same process. At first glance you are missing the alias names. Remember that case is important.

              Directly taken from that post:

              Method #2

              This second method involves taking the LiteTouchPE_x86.wim and LiteTouchPE_x64.wim created in the MDT environment and combining them with elements of the WAIK to create a directly bootable MDT litetouch image that can be launch via FOG’s ipxe menu.

              1. On your MDT server select your Deployment Share->Update Deployment Share. This will update your litetouch boot image files with the latest settings from your MDT configuration. When the update process completes change to the DeploymentShare\boot folder. There are 2 files we will use for this method of integration. These files are LiteTouchPE_x86.On your MDT server select your Deployment Share->Update Deployment Share. This will update your litetouch boot image files with the latest settings from your MDT configuration. When the update process completes change to the DeploymentShare\boot folder. There are 2 files we will use for this method of integration. These files are LiteTouchPE_x86.wim and LiteTouchPE_x64.wim.
              2. Download the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) for Windows 7 from the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5753
              3. Install WAIK on a development system (workstation). You will only need WAIK installed long enough to extract the boot images.
              4. Once WAIK is installed Follow this path Start menu->All Programs->Microsoft Windows AIK->Deployment Tools->Command Prompt. Selecting this menu should open a cmd shell. This next step we will create both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions of the WinPE boot environments. In the command shell key in the following:
                mkdir %temp%\fog\mdtboot
                copype x86 %temp%\fog\mdtboot\x86
                copype amd64 %temp%\fog\mdtboot\x64
              5. Download wimboot from this link: http://git.ipxe.org/releases/wimboot/wimboot-latest.zip
              6. Extract the wimboot file from the zip file and save the (wimboot) file only in the follow folder: %temp%\winpe\fog
              7. Copy LiteTouchPE_x86.wim and LiteTouchPE_x64.wim from the MDT deployment share to the %temp%\fog\mdtboot folder
              8. Using 7-zip or similar tool create a zip file of %temp%\fog*.* as mdtfog.zip
              9. Move the mdtfog.zip file to the FOG web server’s base directory (either /var/www/html or /var/www depending on the linux distrobution).
              10. On the FOG server navigate to the FOG web server’s base directory as indicated in step 7
              11. Use the linux unzip program to extract the mdtfog.zip archive to the web server’s base directory using this command: unzip mdtfog.zip (warning if unzip is not installed for your linux distrobution you will need to install it using the following command [rhel based] yum install unzip -y [deb based] sudo apt-get install unzip )
              12. From the FOG management GUI select the following Fog Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry
              13. Fill in the following details:
                Menu Item: winpe.BootMDT
                Description: Boot MDT LiteTouch
                Parameters:
                cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x64 || set arch x86
                kernel http://${fog-ip}/wimboot
                initrd http://${fog-ip}/mdtboot/${arch}/ISO/boot/bcd BCD
                initrd http://${fog-ip}/mdtboot/${arch}/ISO/boot/boot.sdi boot.sdi
                initrd -n boot.wim http://${fog-ip}/mdtboot/LiteTouchPE_${arch}.wim boot.wim
                boot
                Menu show with: All Hosts
              14. Your configuration should now be set to boot MDT via the wim images from within the FOG PXE menu.

                kernel ${macrium-url}/wimboot
                initrd ${macrium-url}/bootmgr bootmgr
                initrd ${macrium-url}/Boot/BCD BCD

                initrd ${macrium-url}/sources/boot.wim boot.wim
                

                as example.

                Wimboot requires you to indicate which file is which, capitalization is important for the alias.

                    @george1421 I feel I should point out the boot.wim line has the -n boot.wim portion as well. This tells it the name.

                    Does this work?

                    cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x64 || set arch x86
                    kernel http://${fog-ip}/wimboot
                    initrd -n BCD http://${fog-ip}/mdtboot/${arch}/ISO/boot/bcd BCD
                    initrd -n boot.sdi http://${fog-ip}/mdtboot/${arch}/ISO/boot/boot.sdi boot.sdi
                    initrd -n boot.wim http://${fog-ip}/mdtboot/LiteTouchPE_${arch}.wim boot.wim

                      @tom-elliott Let me confirm. I should have worked, or I wouldn’t have documented it in 2015 😉

                      It may take me a bit to setup that environment again.

                        @tom-elliott Confirmed the menu entry does work. You MUST PAY ATTENTION to the case of your path and file names (you can test with a browser to confirm you have it right). That tripped me up this time (yet again). There is the menu I used to pxe boot the WIN10 MDT LiteTouch install image.

                        cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x64 || set arch x86
                        kernel http://${fog-ip}/wimboot

                        initrd -n boot.wim http://${fog-ip}/mdtboot/LiteTouchPE_${arch}.wim boot.wim

                          @george1421 This method failed. By removing the alias name and using the -n instead. Wimboot threw an error and failed to boot.

                          cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x64 || set arch x86
                          kernel http://${fog-ip}/wimboot

                              into UEFI BIOS ?

                              i tried all the steps but the systems return can’t start,
                              wimboot load and patch all files but when finish display:

                              read BOOTX64.EFI
                              load BOOTX64.EFI
                              could not start BOOTX64.EFI
                              could not boot BOOTX64.EFI

                                  Hi,
                                  finally i start winpe 10 x64 iso image with wimboot into vmware machine and work fine with
                                  legacy bios.
                                  I have a problem with the vmware is set with UEFI Bios…
                                  the start process works fine but when the wimboot has loaded and patched all files, the vmware machine restarts…
                                  I tried the boot with a real pc and the boot end the start process corretly ( reboot the second time and starts winpe ).
                                  There are the difference with VM Machine ?

                                  I noted with winpe10 x64 after the boot process does not have the IP address correct ( 192.168.1.x 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 ) , but has a diffrent IP 256.218.111.x 255.255.0.0 )

                                    Well, VM is not hardware and vice versa and also hardware is not equal to all other hardware. We do see many issues related to slight differences in the UEFI firmware and such things. Causing a lot of trouble sometimes. There is no easy answer to your question. You’d need to get into debugging the problem on your VMware to see why it doesn’t work.

                                    Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)
