@george1421 Yes. This fixed issue. Had to do a few other updates you pointed out but worked when I tried a full registration. No pause anymore. Thank you!

Hi, This is what I get and take a look at buidling code after I do all the steps and nothing changed. I ran Run the following command to ensure your iPXE files have a current date on them. ls -la /tftpboot/*.efi and looks like some of them changed to todays date and others did not. Not sure. Seems to be only this model of computer? Thanks

HI,

We have one model that we are having trouble with loading. HP ProBook 440 14 inch G10 Notebook PC We have been using Fog for years and have used recently with other models and HP Probook 440 G8 and G7. I can still image them. So it will load to Fog stops at init.xz…and different % each time. I updated to 1.5.10.34 and still no go. We were using 1.5.9 and thought updating might help. I see other problems like this but not really understanding how it can be fixed. Is it a fog problem or is something blocking somewhere else. I feel if was somewhere else fog wouldn’t work at all. Appreciate any guidance you may have. We have used ipxe.pxe, ipxe.efi and undionly.kpxe for boot and that usually works. Thanks

@george1421 So I can ping from Windows computer but not our fog server. I can look into that but if you have ideas on how to fix that would be great. As far as Fog changing settings for UEFI may I ask how that could happen? Some type of setting or just could happen? I have had success with a couple computers and renaming but had a few and just wanted to see if secure boot had anything to do with. Also, if we are using secure boot any easy way other to having to disable to image or that only way. We are fine because seems to be security but just asking. THanks

Hi,

Just wondering if we are going to have trouble with renaming a computer in fog/Active Directory with Secure boot enabled? I know we need to have secure boot off to image but wondering on renaming? Attached is what I see as a computer? The red ! was a question I had because says No such device or address. I did have success on one with secure boot enabled but just wondering because of having trouble with others. We are on 1.5.5 so would be better if we updated to 1.5.9? Thanks.

@george1421 If I delete a device that is still in production on the network. It will not remove from domain or lose connection? Also, if I have a machine named ittech20 and remove that from database when I restart in pxe will the computer still be named ittech20. So if I delete all of them since the machine still has service running on will it talk back to server and sync to database? Just trying to decide if I want to dump all of them? I get it has not affect much but want to make sure before I delete hosts. thanks

Hi,

Just wanted to know best practices on deleting hosts. We have some old hosts in our database and want to get rid of most of them but not all. Recommendations? If I delete a computer that is registered to fog what a the downfalls? I look at this as imaging and after is communicating but my concern is user logging in and causing issues with our setup/production/network. I don’t want to cause big issues but I have heard of users deleting hosts after every summer. We are a school of about 1500. We are on version 1.5.5 Thanks for any info you may have or reccomendations you have. Thanks

@george1421 Thanks for the info. I will look into some more settings on machine but think you are right on older hardware. I will keep you informed on newer machine I do next week. Thanks

@george1421 One is a lenovo 11E laptop and other one is HP4300 Small form factor desktop but I don’t have any of those policies in place yet. I just wanted to make sure the policies don’t affect anything else on server/network before we implemented. These are old computers and we will test on a brand new computer next week. I didn’t have access to the newer computer until next week so figured I would test and see what happened on what I had. Don’t you think I need these policies in place for it to work properly for UEFI? I mean ipxe.efi wouldn’t work without those policies in place would they?

If we continue to use BIOS for a while on other devices is it just a switch on 067 when I want to do a boot up? Don’t want to make too complicated just wondering if can work at same time? If you don’t recommend that is fine.
