Unsolved imaging using a macbook pro
-
Has anyone ever imaged using a macbook uploading the image to the fog server? I already have a fog server up in running but my images are windows desktops.

Unetbootin:
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ - download it for whichever OS you’re currently using.
iPXE iso:
OR as an alternative, you can use the Clonezilla live CD iso and choose the network boot option (which chains iPXE) – that’s located below:

@RLane is there a file that I need to download , do you have the link to it?
-
@fredlwal I’d suggest doing that as that’s a known workaround which takes about 5 minutes to set up.
-
@RLane no i haven’t used it.

@fredlwal Have you tried to download the iPXE ISO and use “UNetbootin” to put it on a flash drive like suggested? I tried on an older MacBook Pro using svn 3551 and it worked fine (booting anyway, didn’t have a Mac image).
-
i’m not having any luck on getting this to work, any more suggestions?
-
Do you guys have a better document to set this up on my existing fog server?

yes I do it all the time! The trick will be getting the devices to boot into fog. You can download an ipxe iso and boot off a usb cd, or use unetbootin to put the iso on to a usb drive and boot from there. I am in the midst of finalizing the FOG Service for MAC. it installs a efi and windows partition that boots off the network. I have been imaging 1500+ macs a year with fog. It works very well.
Where have you been all of my life?
