Hello Fog 1.5.6 for different hardware

[dangquan091]

Tom,
I have Ubuntu 16.04 and Fog 1.5.6. It is working great. We have about 20 Dell all in one 7760 PC. I was able to register and re-image 2 PC for the testing purpose. Fog is working great. Can I deploy image I created with 7760 All in One PC to another Optiplex 9020 64 bits PC?

Thank you,

@dangquan091 This is not really a FOG question. In general FOG does not care much about the destination machine you deploy to unless it finds disks large enough to deploy to.

The problem you will run into is most probably that the image captured on the 7760 All in One PC might not contain the right drivers to properly run on the Optiplex 9020. For that you need to read about Windows sysprep… Nothing we can do for you from the FOG side.

Sysprep your windows before capturing.

*Open CMD (As Administrator)
*Enter command: cd C:\Windows\System32\drivers
*Enter command: sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown

System will shutdown. DO NOT BOOT INTO WINDOWS! capture image!
