Update: It works. The file ending was the problem.

There was indeed a typo in the snapin and it turns out changing it solved the problem. I don’t consider the case closed tho as I had to many flukes today. I will try the other snapins, the update the thread again.

SnapinClient returns Code -196608 when starting snapin.

I have a very simple powershell script to install VS Code utilizing Chocolatey on a Client machine. The script I use:

choco install vscode -y

When I start the snapin, the log says SnapinClient Return Code: -196608.
The entire command run is:

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoProfile -File vscode_snapin1.bs1 

I have read that the problem can hail from the ExecutionPolicy argument. The command works when started locally in a administrative Powershell.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to get a more detailed log of what happens?

I implemented the fix in my setup. It works HOWEVER just copying refind.conf and renaming it WILL NOT WORK!
rEFInd seems to hardcoded look for refind.conf and WILL NOT ACCEPT a file named differently. I worked around this by naming both files refind.conf and putting them in different folders.

Thanks again for your help!

Here you see an array of the entries which will be available for selection in the web UI. So you can just add your custom entry here:

I will try using this workaround. It should do exactly what I’m trying to accomplish.

What version of FOG are you using?

1.5.7

Thank you for your help everybody!

I am currently setting up a network consisting of different types of hosts to image. One of those different types are HP Z2 workstations which suffer from a bug in rEFInd described here. While I was able to work around this by setting a manual boot entry in refind.conf, this effectively creates even more problems with other systems then HP which do not necessarily label their EFI partition SYSTEM.

Is it possible to set different refind.conf files for different hosts? Would there be a different solution to only effect the HP hosts with this solution? And if both answers are no, would it be possible to implement such a feature in FOG?

Kind regards and thanks for the help.
