Windows 10 Image
-
@vbelous I would HIGHLY suggest upgrading, and while I understand hesitation, I’d recommend more to install fresh.
I don’t know what OS your FOG Server is running on, but seeing as most ran 0.32 on Ubuntu 10.04, I’m going to guess the same. Even Ubuntu 12.04 is very old now.
I’d recommend, installing a much more modern version of FOG that has much better support for many of the changes since Windows XP and 7.
Again, this is totally up to you, and all I can do is give recommendations.
On the side, however, seeing as you ARE running 0.32, you will need to ensure the Windows 10 install is done using MBR, not GPT. This entails you disable UEFI/EFI on the system that is running, and completely reformat the disk before install. You will need to make it a Single or double partition layout, don’t try to setup as a Default layout as, depending on the image type (Resizable, or non-resizable) it may cause major issues.
From there, you create your image definition in FOG. Make sure to give it a suitable name. I’d recommend (if you followed the paragraph above) making it a resizable image which will require you to sysprep the system first.
The host OS will need to be assigned as Windows 7.
Then perform the upload.
Again this is all from the top of my head. This by no means is a fool proof method.

@Tom-Elliott Thanks for that information as per your recommendation i think i’m going to install a fresh new copy of Ubuntu and FOG before continuing
-
@Tom-Elliott is there a version of Ubuntu that you recommend ?
-
-
@Wayne-Workman Have the Tftp issues been resolved ?
-
@vbelous What do you mean? What tftp issues?
-
-
@vbelous is recommend you to install the trunk/dev versions of fog which, to my knowledge, do not have these same issues.

@Wayne-Workman https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ubuntu_14.04
That article needs updated. It looks like those instructions apply to fog 0.32.
I added a note at the top suggesting to use fog 1.3.0.
-
@Tom-Elliott any documents on this. Sorry i’m a noob when it come to linux and fogserver
-
-
Okay, so i will use these instructions from https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ubuntu_14.04 then update using https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_trunk
is this the correct process ? -
@vbelous I just asked the senior dev. He says you can just go straight to the latest trunk version.
-
Since you’re very new to FOG server I feel the need to ask if you’ve been able to make images for windows 7 or 8?
Are you just new to FOG or are you new to imaging entirely?Depending on what customizations you want to make, making an image for any version of windows isn’t all that different really.
What is your end goal here?
-
@Arrowhead-IT i’m taking it over from a previous user, and yes we have both 7 and 8 images

I’m not sure what you mean by that
And since you have 7 and 8 images, are you running into some sort of trouble with uploading a windows 10 image or are you just worried that there’s no option to say an image is windows 10 in the older versions of fog. Setting it to windows 7 or 8 doesn’t change anything in the imaging process that I am aware of, it’s more for inventory and organization of the database as I understand it. Granted Windows 10 is an option in the latest trunks, so it doesn’t really matter.
Have you tried uploading a windows 10 image to your working image configurations for 7 and 8 and run into trouble?
Just trying to help you better here. -
@Arrowhead-IT No i haven’t, i never created a image before. The ones we have in placed right were created by a former employee.
I’m basically starting from scratch when it comes to image creation. If my current version supports windows 10 is there a major reason to upgrade ? -
@vbelous Yes, there are a million reasons to upgrade.
-
@Arrowhead-IT If you put it that way then i’m going to create new Ubuntu server in our VM host and then install newest trunk

That’s exactly what I did when I took over where I work too. Never regretted it and learned more than I would have if I just tried to carry on with someone elses setup.
