Thanks. I’ll roll up a VM after lunch and give this a look.

RE: Installation Failure on Ubuntu
As a personal rule (not from the FOG team). I would recommend sticking with LTS OSes when setting up servers unless you want to regularly be upgrading or migrating. Ubuntu Interim standard support from Canonical is SHORT (9 months).
See 21.10 vs 18.04:

RE: Can't update FOG server
What tools are you using to manage your linux infrastructure.
I know Ubuntu is the bane of FOG devs but we use it in our environment because i can push updates regularly to all our hosts with Landscape.

RE: Capture and Deploy iMac Images
Rather than send you down a path full of frustration I will say that Imaging on Macs is dead. JAMF, Deploy Studio etc are all echoing this sentiment. NetInstall/Recovery+DEP/prestage+MDM is Apple’s vision of how you set up their machines. If you are sticking with 10.12.6 and earlier and using HFS+ for the drive format I would say you should probably look at Deploy Studio, but at the same time don’t invest too much effort there as this is not going to be the move going forward.

RE: Apple Fusion Drive
While I’m sure @Sebastian-Roth will work with you to try and get this going. As someone who manages a rather large fleet of Apple computers I’m going to tell you whatever the solution is; its not worth it.
As far as Apple is concerned imaging is dead. Full stop.
The procedure for provisioning machines in bulk is as such:- Install OS via internet recovery or if the machine is brand new it should come out of the box with a current OS (You can do net install on older machines but T2 makes this impossible on newer machines unless you are willing to disable SIP, which you shouldn’t)
- Have your machines enrolled in DEP via school manager or business manager
- DEP will put your machine into your MDM of choice (JAMF, Mosley etc)
- Your MDM will provision profiles and software from your repository
Yes. You can technically image Macs for now, but the process is going to be full of work arounds and scotch tape which in the end will stop working at the next OS and you will need to start over.
Do yourself a favor and stop imaging Macs.

RE: When do assigned snapins run relative to binding?
I finally got to test this today. It appears to be
Hostname/bind
Reboot
Waits for a complete reboot (this is good for be because this is where my GPO installs happens) then after the boot process completes the snapin runs. In this case running a script to install AutoCAD. -
RE: Apple Fusion Drive
@george1421
The only reason I can see it continuing to work is because microsoft isn’t primarily a hardware company. They need their OS to be available on many different standard x86_64 hardware. Now if they stop selling OEM installers and only using somesort of pre-baked internet recovery I would be more nervous. -
RE: Hyper-V or Oracle VirtualBox - Can't PXE Boot/Upload Image to FOG
I used to see the issues with warm boots on older versions. That seems to not be the case in the latest version.

RE: Unable to update kernel
Looked through the guide and everything matched, it was just the tftp server password that was wrong.

RE: deploying image from xen windows 10 - blue screen
Xen defaults to BIOS though in 8+ you can switch to EFI and I’m pretty sure new versions of ESXi default to EFI. Can you confirm which you have on each?

RE: MAC already exists
Now that I have the necessary MAC addresses at least associated with the machine I am good for now. I will wait for a final release before I move. This isn’t a deal breaker kind of issue for me.

RE: Capturing an image from Vendor X laptop and deploying to Vendor Y laptop?
Good to know. I’ve been rolling with the same script since Win7 and likely would not have looked at another way to do it short of it failing to run on a new version.

RE: Full host registration and inventory?
This is not currently possible to do through the client. To get complete inventory the machine would need to be run through PXE and inventory collected through registration.

RE: After update to latest dev version Apache doesn't respond to hostname
Finally got a chance to run the upgrade again and figured out my issue.
For some reason safari wasn’t happy with the upgrade. I can open fog fine from a private window or if I cleared history. It doesn’t open in Chrome, which was my other test because chrome doesn’t trust the ssl cert and no longer gives an option to bypass by default.

RE: Configuring LDAP Authentication
I think you’re misunderstanding what those fields are asking for. Those fields are asking which OU in which fog should look for the groups and users. Then you specify the groups with access in the admin group field.
