Thanks @george1421, will look into this especially the USB to ethernet (will have to purchase though).

I would like to consult if it will be possible to deploy image using wireless ethernet of laptops. Newer models of laptop nowadays are being produced with no built-in wired ethernet cards and just rely on wireless connection.

However, I can not wrap around myself the idea that laptop will be booting with wireless ethernet, connect to a wireless network (SSID) before it boot to an OS (Windows).

Moreover, just to be more detailed, I am looking to deploy to Lenovo Thinkpad X13 models.

Thank you in advance.

@sebastian-roth Thank you. I have not exchanged .efi for .*pxe, it’s what’s in the configuration by default. I’ve only added the “authoritative;” line and changed the UEFI 64 files to intel.efi instead of ipxe.efi. Also, I’ve also used snponly.efi which returns the same result with intel.efi. I decided to use snponly.efi for the meantime while on testing stage.

Already found the issue. I should have used intel.efi in the dhcpd.conf

Either bootfilename=‘ipxe.efi’ or ‘undionly.kpxe’ still produces same erroneous result of “Jan 5 13:39:26 fogserver in.tftpd[2969]: tftp: client does not accept options”

I’m not sure if I am getting the correct DHCP settings (server FOG is using) but below are the settings in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf:

Is there something I’m missing since UEFI is not booting but legacy does?

Is it FOG server (including DHCP) or client settings which resulted in error “tftp: client does not accept options?”

Looking for guidance.

Thanks!
