First Impressions / Introduction
-
Updating to the latest of trunk this morning resolved the issues I was having. I was able to upload an image of an Optiplex 780 running Windows Vista x64. The deployment of said image seemed to go off without a hitch. After the imaging process was complete, I was unable to boot to my HD. No error message regarding corrupted MBR was displayed, it would just follow to PXE, manually selecting HD would cause the boot order menu to freeze. Boot order was set to HD first and PXE second. Once PXE load screen was brought up it would list the PXE version then a blinking cursor in the top left, no indication of it attempting to reach out to the network. I put a Windows Vista cd to run start up repair, it is able to detect my image installation but startup repair didn’t help either. It could very likely be a bad disk, guy here before me seemed to have a problem separating bad parts.
I’m close gentlemen I can feel it. Thank for continuing to point me in the right direction.

@mtmulch Play around with your Exit Style. It should now be a global setting in FOG Configuration and a host setting too. The host portion of it is very new, so it may or may not be a bug.

Well gentlemen it works! I cranked out 15 images in about 5 hours this afternoon with my lab. To say the least my team was impressed with FOG, considering I had nothing but problems up until today. I would like to thank everyone for their help with the initial setup. Now its time to convince the suits to let us put it on the production network

@mtmulch I help run FOG Trunk at 6 (soon to be 21) public schools. Respect the Trunk - it is a great thing to have it virtualized with snapshots before each major change or upgrade. Backup your DB often, keep your old DB backups. And don’t upgrade on a whim. Upgrade when you have a need to do so.
And of course, if you have any issues; the fog community is always willing to lend assistance.
