@george1421 Yes, I can ping the 192.168.54.X network. The DHCP server is on the fog server, which is 192.168.52.X

@JJ-Fullmer Is it possible to use two different VLANs with the same fog server? If so, what are the steps? One VLAN is on 192.168.52.X, where the fog server is, and the other is on 192.168.54.X. for testing deployment with fog. I don’t know how to create a scope for the 192.168.54.X VLAN.

@george1421 Do I enable the fog client renamer service, and where’s the unattended.xml file? Yes I am talking about the Windows computers.

I wonder how best to rename the computer before or after joining the domain and what steps to take.

Is there a way for the fog server to run a post-installation script? For example, I need to inject the HP and Lenovo drivers into the image, and I already downloaded the drivers. Everything that I’ve tried post-installation script hasn’t worked.

#!/bin/bash

# Path to Windows image file
WINDOWS_IMAGE="/path/to/windows_image.wim"

# Mount directory for Windows image
MOUNT_DIR="/mnt/windows_image"

# Path to HP drivers directory
HP_DRIVER_DIR="/path/to/hp_drivers"

# Path to Lenovo drivers directory
LENOVO_DRIVER_DIR="/path/to/lenovo_drivers"

# Mount the Windows image
mkdir -p $MOUNT_DIR
sudo mount -o loop $WINDOWS_IMAGE $MOUNT_DIR

# Inject HP drivers
sudo dism /Image:$MOUNT_DIR /Add-Driver /Driver:$HP_DRIVER_DIR /Recurse

# Inject Lenovo drivers
sudo dism /Image:$MOUNT_DIR /Add-Driver /Driver:$LENOVO_DRIVER_DIR /Recurse

# Unmount the Windows image
sudo umount $MOUNT_DIR
rmdir $MOUNT_DIR

echo "Driver injection complete."

mod note: fixed the code for readability

@Tom-Elliott i’ve tried this fog.custominstall

Create the following file named fog.custominstall in the following path on the FOG server /images/postdownloadscripts.

Save and exit your text editor.
Make the script executable with chmod 755 /images/postdownloadscripts/fog.custominstall **this part i get chmod: cannot * chmod 755 ‘/images/postdownloadscripts/fog.custominstall’ :No such file or directory please help!!!
fog.copydrivers

Create the following file named fog.copydrivers in the following path on the FOG server /images/postdownloadscripts.

Removes Spaces in machine name, works better with path definitions

14-Sep-23 Jeffrey Boulais posted that the above code did not work for his install. He

supplied this code as an alternative. If you run in to a problem using my code

comment out my code and see if his code works better for your installation. The

only right way is the one that works. Thank you Jeff for your input.

machine=“$(echo -e “${machine}” | tr -d ‘[:space:]’)”

I’ve tried everything from changing the host bios exit type, and still nothing works. The image works on an HP laptop that I tested out. Please help me out here. I get the stop code error inaccessible boot device on the Lenovo laptop.

PXEv4 MAC address is 0800278BC141 and downloading NBP file, but it wouldn’t download NBP file and the IPv4 are all zero’s.

@george1421 I tried adding the applications to the FOG snapins, and none of them would install using the FOG snapin function on the FOG server GUI. Can you please show me an example of using the FOG Snapins function?
