Multicasting
-
[QUOTE=Wayne Workman]I remember another thread about making tasks have a TTL sort of feature… Has that been implemented? If the default TTL is maybe 24 hours, then this guy wouldn’t have had the multicast issues the next day… it’d just resolve itself because the old tasks would get deleted.[/QUOTE]
I like this idea. Usually when I’m imaging, I start the task and go PXE boot the machine(s) within a few minutes - maybe an hour or 2 at most. Maybe there could be a custom TTL for users who would want a longer timeframe?

why not let the fog server wake them up with wake on lan?

Ha. I’d love to. Long explanation there though, totally unrelated to fog. We have teachers who use netop vision to wake up their computer labs in the morning. They complained about the extra time the pxe boot added to startup. I know, all of 15 seconds at most, but that’s a battle I wasn’t willing to fight. So 90% of our labs are set to boot right to the hard disk when they get the magic packet.

You can turn off the FOG menu… that’ll cut down on the time.

Hmm, that’s a possibility. I’ll keep that in mind for the summer when we go touch every station.

we have snapins that we can run to change the boot order for most of our dells

Can you elaborate on this? I’m interested in it.
I’ve yet to even use snapins, going to have to sit down and mess with it eventually.
