That’s pretty slick… fog service updated itself before I could even get into the host that had it installed!

That seems to have worked!

Good News,

It looks like clearing out the WinPE section of the answer file allowed it to pass! I just have to figure out the copy profile thing and the autologin, It auto logged in once but that was it. as well as leaving the defaultprofile0 on the machine… but I think i can get that.

You may be able to change the iPXE boot menu exit mode to “exit” or I have had luck changing it to “grub” too

Thanks @george1421 Thats exactly what I expected. I am using VMware Workstation on my Local PC just to keep the images an snapshots and whatnot off from the Datastores.
I was using Workstation10 but it does not support EFI at all so I am upgrading to Workstation 12.5 as I speak I will rebuild my image with EFI and GPT Partition tables and we will be good to go for those devices that are EFI only, or even the ones that come EFI but support BIOS, we wont have to downgrade them to BIOS just to image.

Just Kidding :))))) I just added the other architectures under the helpful little NOTE: and it works just great! I Skim too much and don’t read enough. You guys are great.

I am trying to help upgrade a fog installation to 1.5.10 to be honest I am not sure what the old version was. The installed gets to the point where it asks to login into the mysql database and wants the root user password. I enter the root user password and it won’t accept anything I enter.
I know I can log into the DB with it because I can successfully mysql -u root -p and enter the appropriate password and it works just fine. but for some reason the installer doesn’t like it.

Any ideas?

@george1421 I already set up the BIOS-UEFI coexistance, but in that article it says there are several other UEFI architectures, I just didn’t know if there was some specific PCEClient:Arch:xxxxxxx architecture That is known to work with VMware

Another Quick question, anyone have any idea what efi file works with Vmware Workstation 12 EFI? do I need to create a seperate policy on the DHCP server for it? It looks like its starts to boot PXE but breaks right after downloading the NBP file

Any specific way I need to upload the image?

Okay so I am sure my problem is the fact that my image is built on VMWare Workstation 10 with the Virtual BIOS and MBR Partition Tables and the Surfaces do not have a BIOS or legacy Mode at all, Just UEFI.
I will swap over to the ipxe7156.efi and see if that is more reliable.
I don’t believe bitlocker encypted the drive. I was able to reinstall the OS with the Windows 10 OS CD you download right from online.

Description

Has anyone successfully imaged a Surface Pro 4? I’ve read through the “Surface Pro” section but everyone is only having issues with getting the image to deploy or upload, I was able to get the image I have built to deploy just fine but I had to turn secure boot off all together to get it to load the ipxe.efi but when it reboots after imaging the screen flickers a bunch and then it just boots into UEFI Wont even get to the “starting windows” icon.

So two questions
1.) Is there a specific EFI file that works with the secure boot turned on,
2.) for those who did get it to work what partition style did you use, MBR or GPT?

Excuse the formatting, I have this section in the XML it has worked in the passed, maybe it rebooted twice and I didnt catch it, maybe it was on the third reboot and set not to auto login.

<AutoLogon>
<Password>
<Value>MAA4ADAAOQBwAHcANABzAHIAcwBkACEAUABhAHMAcwB3AG8AcgBkAA==</Value>
<PlainText>false</PlainText>
</Password>
<Enabled>true</Enabled>
<LogonCount>2</LogonCount>
<Username>Administrator</Username>
</AutoLogon>

Not a big deal.
