@JJ-Fullmer Thanks for your great work!

@Wayne-Workman Thanks for the response. I ended up renumbering the image name to include 01. through 14 and that did sort them. I appreciate the quick thinking and that fixes my issue!

@wayne-workman This fixed it! Thank you!

@george1421 Thanks for the response. I think I might’ve actually figured it out. If you Legacy PXE boot, it errors out on a UEFI based machine. However, if you use the Network Stack PXE boot (UEFI), it will correctly boot. The DVD does work for both UEFI and Legacy. I don’t know why I didn’t think to try that first.

Thanks for the help!

@george1421 You are the man! That was it! I made the changes and the menu came up. It was the - before the Windows 10 1809 - Office 2013 image

Through the API, I am looking to be able to add a snapin task to a host and then run the task and then delete the snapin from the host all via powershell. Is there a way to do this? Here is what I have so far:

#######################################################################################################################
# Configure the variables below for the Fog Server
#######################################################################################################################
    #FogServer
        $fogApiToken = 'ABCDE'
        $fogUserToken = 'FGHIJ'
        $fogServer = "192.168.1.100"
        $headers = @{};
        $headers.Add('fog-api-token', $fogApiToken);
        $headers.Add('fog-user-token', $fogUserToken);
        $baseUri = "http://$fogServer/fog"
       
       #Shows the Deploy Task ID

         $TasktypesURL = $baseUri + "/tasktype"
         $TasktypesResult = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $TaskTypesURL -Method GET -Headers $headers -ContentType "application/json"
         $TasktypeID = ($TasktypesResult.tasktypes | Select-object name,id | Where-object {$_.name -eq "Single Snapin"}).id


       #Get Snapin List From Fog Server

        $SnapinURL = $baseUri+"/snapin/"
        $SnapinResult = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $SnapinURL -Method GET -Headers $headers -ContentType "application/json"
        $Snapin = $SnapinResult.snapins | Select-object id,name | Where-object {$_.name -eq "Remote Settings"}

       #GetHost List from fog Server

        $HostURL = $baseUri +"/host/"
        $HostResult = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $HostURL -Method GET -Headers $headers -ContentType "application/json"

       #Get Specific Host from FOG Server
        $HostURL = $baseUri +"/host/"
        $Results = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $HostURL -Method GET -Headers $headers -ContentType "application/json" 
        $Hosts = $Results.hosts
        $SpecificHost = $Hosts | where name -match "Computer Name"


        #Start an Image
        $SnapinID = $Snapin.id
        $HostID = $specifichost.id  

        $TaskURL = $baseUri + "/host/" + $HostID + "/task"
        $TaskdataSet = @{
            "taskTypeID" = $TasktypeID
            "deploySnapins" = $Snapin
            }
        $taskdataToSend = ConvertTo-JSON($TaskdataSet)
        $TaskResult = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri $TaskURL -Headers $headers -Body $taskdataToSend -ContentType "application/json"

All it does is start an image. At this point, I am just trying to get it to deploy the single snapin. From everything I read, it is supposed to be tasktypeID 13. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@Tom-Elliott Thank you so much for your verification. I was a little panicked haha. Have a good day!

I was backing up mysql per the instructions, and I noticed that one of the tables is named “virus”. Is this by design? Or is this something I need to be concerned about?

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks!

I am getting the following error below in the Apache2 logs after doing an update to dev-branch (1.5.9.243) and PHP8.2.3 update on Debain 11

[proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 1134] [client 10.XX.XXX.XX:54908] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: preg_grep(): Argument #2 ($array) must be of type array, null given in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/storagenode.class.php:230\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/storagenode.class.php(230): preg_grep()\n#1 /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/storagenode.class.php(243): StorageNode->_getData()\n#2 /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/storagenode.class.php(129): StorageNode->getSnapinfiles()\n#3 /var/www/html/fog/lib/pages/snapinmanagementpage.class.php(466): StorageNode->get()\n#4 /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogpagemanager.class.php(220): SnapinManagementPage->add()\n#5 /var/www/html/fog/management/index.php(58): FOGPageManager->render()\n#6 {main}\n  thrown in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/storagenode.class.php on line 230', referer: http://fog/fog/management/index.php?node=snapin

I am curious what I need to do to fix that.

Thanks!

@JJ-Fullmer Thanks for your great work!

@jj-fullmer

I will check it out! Late is better than never! Appreciate your work on this.

@george1421 The USB drive piece didn’t work, but the Enabling of VMD did work to get the speed. The only gotcha is that you have to turn it off right after the image is done or you will get a BSOD with “Inaccessible Boot Device”.

I updated the iPXE to the latest version and that fixed some of the initial issue with weirdness, but still, when I go to “Deploy Image” and put in the username and pw, I have to go through that and hit enter 6 times until it exits that menu. Then I get the following screen on the laptop

It looks like some sort of debug screen?

@george1421 On the post you put, I just tried to image with the VMD enabled and that worked. The biggest thing is that I had to disable it after the image came down.

@george1421 I did end up XX-ing out the IP address. I guess I really didn’t need to and it was on the correct subnet.

I checked the /var/log directory and all it had was a “messages”, not a “syslog”, so I have put that below.

#grep -i firmware /var/log/messages
Dec 23 08:20:58 fogclient user.notice kernel: ACPI: [Firmware Bug]: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored

The NIC that is being booted from the is the internal NIC

@george1421 Thanks george for the help!

Here is what got returned:

#lspci -nn | grep -i net
00:14.3 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:a0f0] (rev 20)
00:1f.6 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:15fc] (rev 20)

The other command didn’t work, either with /var/syslog or /var/messages. When I did a “ls” for that /var/ directory it came up with: cache, empty, lib, lock, log, run, spool, tmp, www. I tried doing “log”, but it returned nothing.

Here is the output for ip a s
