Thanks Chad,

I found this - [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOGUserGuide#Full_Listing_of_Ports_used_by_FOG_server_and_client[/url]

Curious which of those would be required for snapin management/deployment.

GREAT SUCCESS!!!

My two problems were (well, one really, RTFM):

[URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Managing_FOG#Active_Directory_Integration’]Follow this article[/URL] to configure your hostname changer service and then edit the config.ini where you will generate encrypted passwords Follow [URL=‘http://support.microsoft.com/kb/818091’]M$ KB818091[/URL] to setup the account that will join nodes to AD

Yep, this ([url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/Kernels/[/url]) was my answer. I simply ran the update from within the fog server web admin page and my Dell Latitude e6530 was able to boot and register.

I’m still curious about building kernels with new drivers but at least i can learn that without pressure of getting this laptop going.

Heck yes. I’m able to boot the fog image and blast images to the VM. Be it paravirtual or LSI Logic SAS. Havent tested the other modes yet tho.
