Defined NIC boot first in BIOS, then it wont boot automatically thru pxe menu to HDD

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I think you dont undestand. I’m able to boot on PXE, it works, the FOG menu is displayed, i cant perform an inventory of the computer or anything else.

But my computer boot first on it, and it should automatically boot from the hard drive after 3 seconds spent on “boot from hard disk” highlighted in this menu… but it doesn’t.

What exit to hard drive type do you use? (under iPXE Boot Menu on WebGUI)

yup, I misunderstood. Quazz is on the right path though.

@Quazz

“SanBoot style” is defined on “Exit to Hard Drive Type” option, is it good?

@Wayne-Workman
No problem, i’m french and i think that i don’t write english very well so … i understand why you dont understand me

@arnaudrigole Well then, try different exit styles and see if this works for your machines.

@arnaudrigole dells especially seem to hate sanboot exit. Please try grub or exit style. I think it will help.

Optiplex 7010 in Legacy mode - sanboot
Optiplex 9020 in Legacy mode - grub
Optiplex 9020 in UEFI mode - rEFInd
Optiplex 380 - sanboot
Optiplex gx745 - sanboot

Soon I’ll have info on the Optiplex 7040.

Ok thanks, i’ll try with another exit style. But its not very practical to define this parameter to the 500 hosts 1 by 1 ^^’ … we will see.

Have a good day.

That’s what groups are for.

@arnaudrigole there’s groups to individually set, and global if all systems are showing the same issues.
