Fog menu setup for chain to WDS

Re: Integrate FOG with WDS/MDT?

Not sure if this will help anyone, but I was able to get chain loading to a WDS server working. The below config worked for me to actually boot into WDS after first pxe booting into fog.

Menu Item

Description
Windows Deployment Server

Parameters
set next-server 0.0.0.0 # Replace with WDS server IP address

iseq ${platform} efi && goto is_wds_efi || goto is_wds_bios

:is_wds_efi
set wds-bootfile \boot\x64\wdsmgfw.efi
goto wds_boot

:is_wds_bios
set wds-bootfile \boot\x64\wdsnbp.com

:wds_boot
set filename ${wds-bootfile}
set netX.dhcp/filename ${wds-bootfile}
set netX.dhcp/next-server 0.0.0.0 # Replace with WDS server IP address
set netX .dhcp/vendor-class PXEClient
chain --autofree --replace tftp://${next-server}/${wds-bootfile} || goto Menu

On the WDS server under server properties -> DHCP tab, make sure “Do not listen on DHCP ports” is checked.

I hope this helps anyone else stuck on getting Fog to chain to WDS.
