@robertkwild good news, its worked!

before i did “quick inventroy” it listed the vm in “hosts” and then i clicked on “capture” to the image i just created, i used the “windows 10” as the os drop down

i syspreped windows 11, it failed first time, due to some program stopping it, all i had to do was remove it in powershell

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.BingNews* | Remove-AppxPackage

then try again

sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown

it captured it fine, then i deleted that vm, created a new vm, disabled “secure boot”, network booted to my fog clicked on “deploy image” chose the windows 11 image

and the end result i get a nice windows 11 vm desktop

@AlexPDX @Sebastian-Roth it was something simple in the end

BIOS > advanced > system options

i turned off/unticked - configure storage controller for VMD

basically its there version of RAID, untick it and its AHCI

hi all,

got a good way installing windows 11 on esxi, bypassing tpm check, as thats where i got the error saying “your pc doesnt meet all the requirements”

ive also on the vm disabled/unticked “secure boot” so i can still network boot my fog server

heres the how to

https://www.virten.net/2021/10/windows-11-on-vmware-esxi-this-pc-cant-run-windows-11/

basically, when you come to the “enter your key screen” press shift+f10

REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassTPMCheck /t REG_DWORD /d 1

my end goal is to sysprep it and capture it to fog and then see if i can deploy it to new vm!

thanks,
rob

@george1421 result!!!

i bought a HP NIC as i have a HP laptop and it works

this one if anyone is inteerested

https://www.amazon.co.uk/HP-N7P47AA-Network-DesignJet-Adapters-Black/dp/B01618WGMY?th=1

as literally star tech, ugreen, tp link, realtek or asix chipsets didnt work

@george1421 the good thing is, you only need to do the reg hack and app removal on the GI, once you sysprep the GI and capture it, when you deploy it, you have to do nothing and you can deploy to multiple laptops, vms etc

the pic i shows you shows a laptop with TPM enabled, using the deployed image

@george1421 ahh ok thanks george, makes sense, so basically the usb nic needs to support the laptop, nothing to do with fog even tho ive updated the kernel via this to the latest 6.6.49

https://docs.fogproject.org/en/stable/reference/manual_kernel_upgrade.html

is there a way to update fog with the latest NIC drivers, so it knows about the usb ethernet adapter?

hi all,

now that the laptops that we get supplied by our vendor, dont come with a built in NIC so we have to get USB ethernet dongles, what ones please support fog

ive tried the ugreens here and they dont work

https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-Ethernet-Aluminum-Internet-Compatible-Sliver/dp/B07M91X2NW?crid=39DJT89SU3DNA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.flP7eut-xH1BMFFeV0vScpFyNPEOftHnqD7oKVXagQM_yJhn1pvyecWJmF3OxOvHXPh1PhfQeU5eo5tRApgJkLPAVxH0FPPH_eHSXHEQqKfZPa7-vR3RohqR1HF88epPn7lplvcIayGku-S9NnuTl2rXna0girUriR3z1Jz6X3nnFKusvwfFM6zVBMDOW6YM1jjhjSTtv3S9rJyy7I0HsC-2l9XZwFgFFwFFa27Akqk.3REpD4LvEoBE230Zu3bRnzs7Nd2ecrYgb4BfWFPCgyA&dib_tag=se&keywords=usb+ethernet+adapter&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1730973452&sprefix=usb+ether%2Caps%2C115&sr=8-5

but now im buying these and im hopefull

what makes it compatible with pxe boot, is it the chipset or is it on the fog server, it needs to support it?

thanks,
rob

Sorry taken ages to reply, just busy this week at work

It’s fog v1.5.10 and single disk resizable

As said I can deploy image fine on other machines, just not this dam hp z2 g9

Hi all,

So I’ve deployed a windows 10 image to a hp z2 g9 pc, it’s written the image to the disk, as I saw it doing the part clone process but when it succefully completed, it then rebooted and loaded up windows, once it rebooted to load windows, I have a blue screen of death with a stop code

inaccessible boot device

I have deployed the same image to a VM and a hp laptop with success, so maybe it’s something to do with this pc

Thanks,
Rob

case closed, all good in da hood

it took ages compiling the ipxe binarys but now its been succesfully updated

thanks @Tom-Elliott @Sebastian-Roth

@Sebastian-Roth @Tom-Elliott ok i re ran the installer multiple times and its got past that stage now, its getting stuck at this stage now
