Nevermind, looks like it was an error in the script itself.

@Itay1787 I just pushed a change to the dev-branch. Please try installing it again from there and let me know how it goes.

I just want to know if it is possible. Seems like it should be, but I am having difficulty finding any information online regarding how to actually do it.

@rodluz

Alright it works thank you.

@JeremyL Hi, yes I am sure I have run Fog under Proxmox as well successfully but this time it didn’t want to work. Anyway once I switched to using Fog running under a Container, it uses much fewer resources and runs just as well.
So I would recommend switching to running it under a container when possible.

@rodluz

ok scrap the local GPO done this and it works

reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v firstlogon /t REG_SZ /d powershell -noexit -ep bypass c:\users\admin\sysprep\firstlogon.ps1 /f

@george1421 thanks for continuing to provide such detailed information.

I believe the best way to learn is to do, so i am going to go shopping for an SSD (and perhaps some RAM to be safe). Once I have everything in place, I am going to do a test run on our machines as well as those of an associate just to see what happens when the network changes. Following this, I will check back with you if you don’t mind to go through the results.

Hello,
In my attempt to switch to HTTPS for the Fog server, I encountered the same issue of the keyboard being disabled in the iPXE menu. After several unsuccessful tests, I consulted Copilot. After reviewing all the scripts and .h files, it indicated that the issue stemmed from the size of the iPXE.efi file I was using. It was too large due to all the necessary modules for HTTPS, causing iPXE to deactivate the USB keyboard functionality during loading. Consequently, I opted for snponly.efi instead, and now the keyboard works perfectly.

I modified the script buildipxe.sh :

sed -i ‘s+#define USB_HCD_USBIO+//#define USB_HCD_USBIO+g’ config/usb.h
sed -i ‘s+#define USB_KEYBOARD+//#define USB_KEYBOARD+g’ config/usb.h
sed -i ‘s+//#define USB_EFI+#define USB_EFI+g’ config/usb.h

May I propose a change in the console.h : Could you set the keyboard map to “dynamic” instead of “us” ? That way we can easily set our language in default.ipxe

//#define KEYBOARD_MAP us // Default US keyboard map
#define KEYBOARD_MAP dynamic // Runtime selectable keyboard map

@Tom-Elliott is there a way to find out where its failing

i have the PCAP file if interested?

I found out what’s causing the problem. The HP BIOS somehow configured the hard disk as a RAID by default. Removing the RAID, and the machine will boot to Windows after iPXE instead of looping.
Thank you for your input.
