Thx. There is something new. We have progress and regress at the same time.
Looks like adding pxe-service did the job.
I got FOG menu.

When I select host registration I got:

And after (3) seconds

When I select bot from disk

And the regression
I’m unable to load FOG from PXE on my old regular BIOS machines.
They were working fine before I enabled these pxe-service lines

@george1421
I use dnsmasq since a year or so, without any issues on regular Windows machines in the network with DHCP server.
My config

The blue one(from my post) says ‘boot failed’ but there is some communication to dnsmasq as I understand from logs…

I have some not standard tablet(WINDOWS 10).
It supports both USB and PXE.
I have docking station with USB -LAN SMC 7500, but it is recognized as network card in BIOS and I can select it to boot through the PXE.
It even connects to FOG server, but then I got EFI PXe boot error.
I was trying a few different efi kernels, and even downloaded
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en//softwarelibrary/obj-lan95xx-uefi/lan95xx_7500_uefi_driver_0.10.zip
to test SmscUsbNetDriver.efi

First screen: I have to make a short movie to catch this. It is displayed for about 0.5s in top left corner

This short message is displayed on the center of the screen.
I just blurred my MAC address

Hi, is this method still the best possible one?
I have docking station with SMC LAN 7500 built in and there is efi shell available in my tablet.
I’m looking also some way to automate the process, have u succeeded in this area?

I captured 1803 as a single disk NOT resizable and succesfully deployed it to another machine.
Looks like problem with extra partitions.
I will try to delete them through gparted on Monday and see the result.
cheers

@tom-elliott big thanks!
It helped. Problem is resolved.
However, please do check why is the huge history making such a big memory leakage.
thx again

@george1421
Bitlocker is OFF
But I think problem might be with partitions.
I think FOG when was imaging, did not mount all 5 partitions.
Is this proper partition structure in Windows 10?

OK. I think I found the reason.
Last 4 machines have more then 1 year of imaging history.
There are a lot of records.
Is there any way to delete snapin and imaging history ?

@george1421
2x vCPU, 4GB RAM
20 computers
Interval check was not changed, so it’s default one
Only one www.conf
I set pm.max_requests = 2000
When I set memory_limit to 512M I can work, but some pages are very slow.
THis is quite strange.
When I click first 14 computer to edit, the HOST manahement Edit opens in 1s.
But last 4(of 20) computers responds very slowly. Page is loading 20s or even longer.
Same when I click on Tasks from main menu. Sometimes page is not loaded at all, but when I click again after 20 or more seconds it pops up.

When I set 256M I got this

I captured without any preparation.
No driver handling. No sysprep.
Working on single machine at the moment.
I have MBR, captured as single disk resizable.
When I use Clonezilla, I do not have any issues.
I just upgraded to 1803 and I will try to capture one more time in single disk NOT resizable mode this time.

Hi,
Thx for the suggestion. I applied it, but is is even worse now. Page stopped loading half the way.
I think I should mention I host my FOG server on Vmware

FOG 1.5.4
Linux: CENTOS 7
PHP 7.2.8
FPM/FastCGI : Enabled
I was unable to work on 1.5.4 until I changed memory_limit from 128 to 512M in php.ini
I can work with 1.5.4 now, but some pages are loading extremely slow and I keep getting errors in php-fpm file

Is there some known memory leakage bug or I missed something?

HI,
I recently upgraded FOG to 1.5.4 and php to 7.2.8
When I try memcache with
session.save_handler] = memcached
I got this in logs

I can see login screen only, but I’m not able to login
when I switch to
session.save_handler] = memcache
page is loading, but there is no any improvement. I still have to wait 5-10 secs to open e.g. HOST details or tasked snappins

I have recently upgraded my FOG from 1.4.4 to 1.5.4 to have Windows 10 support.
I can do snapshot of W10, but when I try to deploy image to the same machine I got this error on a blue screen:
Recovery
Your PC/Device needs to be repaired
A required device isn’t connected or can’t be accessed.
Error code: 0xc00000225
You’ll need to user recovery tools. If you don’t have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer.

Looks like it is related to partition resize function.
Any solution for this?

@wayne-workman
Thx. I figured out where was the issue. Maybe this info will help somebody.
I use curl under Windows, but command line doesn’t support single quotes '.
I used " and had to escape inner ones
–data “{\“hostID\”:13}”

Hi @wayne-workman
When I use your example to Get task status of host ID 1,
I always receive status of all hosts, but not the particular one.
Could you help here?
I’m on 1.4.4
regards

Hi, Could you please share an example of query to obtain list of active tasks per given GROUP ID?
I just want to check if all multicast jobs are done in a specific group.
Thx.

@Tom-Elliott
Actually I tried your suggestion and have some issue.
