    Not alot of systems…I am looking at 150 systems at the most. MDT is a good idea, I am looking at it now.

      @bogle If you take the lite touch approach its real easy to build reference images and when new releases of Windows 10 come out its pretty easy to copy over your task sequences to the new installation media.

      Another great source of windows imaging knowledge is the Deployment Research site https://deploymentresearch.com/ I used it quite frequently as I was setting up Windows baseline images.

        Is there a problem somewhere if I can’t delete a host on the fog project server, but I can get on a host pc and delete itself from the pxe menu?

          @bogle I’ve never heard of that issue where you can’t delete it from the web ui but can via the iPXE menu. That is very strange indeed.

            Can you explain a bit more? What happens when you remove a host from the web UI? Error message?!

            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)

              Well it would just not do anything when after clicking the delete button. I could do a network boot on the client and remove it from there.

              It have have something to do with the computers, they are HP ProOne 600s and HP EliteOne 800s running HP SureRecovery… I had to enable legacy pxe boot and disable secure boot for them to see the Fog Server.

              From the web UI I can’t power down or do a WOL to the HP ProOne 600. Web UI reports it successfully updated the host. Where are the troubleshooting logs at?

                The power down command comes from the fog client. So that needs to be installed on the target computer so the power off command is seen by the client. Your client check in interval will dictate when the client actually sees the power off command.

                The WOL is a bit tricky now days. Windows 8 and 10, when the computer is “shutdown” and fast start is enabled, shutdown is not really powered off, but in an enhanced sleep state so wol does not apply. You can test this by shutting down the computer via the shutdown button and then send the WOL command. Then pull the power from the computer, wait 10 seconds and then plug it it. Now send the WOL command. The computer should wake up. This is because a power up - off the computer is really powered off and not in a sleep state.

                  There should be a window in the browser coming up asking for the login credentials to confirm the delete. I suppose you do not get this. Possibly you have JavaScript disabled? Other than that we need more information. Please check the apache webserver and PHP-FPM logs (see my signature).

                  I can’t see why the “cannot delete from the web UI” should have something to do with the computer model?!

                    I reverted back to a previous snapshot and managed to upload a image!

                    However an error has been detected.

                    I created the image from Win10General, then fully registered a new host to boot to the image.

                      @bogle Your issue sounds a lot like the one we were tracking here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13484/lenovo-yoga-12-issues/6 The OP of that thread didn’t follow through with the testing so we don’t know if the slow connection idea was the root or not.

                      If you are willing to help us out and test this then we might be able to resolve this “random issue” for good.

                      Look through my post and then Sebastian’s post to see where we were heading with the testing.

                          @bogle Take all the time you need, my FOG server is running just fine. 😉

                          No worries, deal with what is important first.

                              @bogle If something happens during the upload process the web site file size will not reflect what is on the disk. There is also an agent that runs once a day to resync the file size on disk with the file size reported via the web ui. Yes it is strange its not set correctly in the web ui after upload, but its not something to stop image deployment.

                              Edit after looking at the pictures again, I see the fog didn’t complete the process because directory with a mac name is still in dev. It didn’t get moved to /images/<image name> like it should have

                              Edit 2 this thread seems to be wandering about from issue to issue. We may need to create a new thread for new issues or we will really confuse someone reading this thread in the future.

                                  @bogle Then keep an eye on the screen when the blue partclone windows are done. There might be an error at the end when the client reports back to your FOG server.
