When I am doing an unattended xml I either set the computer not to be named or tell it to generate a random name since it will change later. Have you copied the NetDom file to c:, c:\windows, and c:\windows\system32? My next question would be did you encrypt your password for AD in the FOG Web GUI under Fog Settings?

If you disable the service it will not pull the snapin. You are correct. The service must stay enabled otherwise it does not know it has a task waiting. When you say interactive message do you mean it prompts to install?

Here is the code for my 64 bit windows 7 XML

I’m unsure I set the timezone on the machine I build the image from. Would you like me to upload the XML I use for windows 7? If so do you want 32 or 64 bit?

Windows 8 works fine for me on 0.32. I just uploaded 3 new images for my locations.

Kilpady,
I believe I saw something in the forums about UEFI support for 0.33. If not this would most likely be similar to how Mac’s Netboot. Those tutorials may help you quite a bit.

I have found the easiest way to deal with licensing issues in windows is to use a kms server. Also .32 will (sort of) work with windows 8 if you select vista as operating system type. I have one win 8 image we use on .32 server.

Anyone know who I need to talk to about putting it on the sourceforge page when it’s done?

My coworking and I use FOG on almost a daily basis and that is what we were discussing was that we should help everyone out. We have met several people that use the VM Appliance and are still on .27. On the opposite end of the spectrum we change alot of things and use all the new features, even considering turning on capone :-D. Well if anyone else has any reason it is not already an appliance let me know. If not I will starting working on it not next week but the week after.

Is this not done with a switch in the hostname changer? I have seen people writing scripts to delete instead of disable in several different program languages.

That was my thought. We currently do not have a release date however for .33 So I was going to build .32 and then again at .33 I just don’t know what i have to do to share it with the community. Or Why it hasn’t been done.

Thank you for your speedy reply. However I don’t think I completely understand. A 1Gbps network connection with 6Gbps sata drives on both end would lead me to believe that the max speed available is 1Gbps, making it 60Gbpm. Is this incorrect?

I noticed that the VM Appliance on the site is .27 Is there a reason for this? If not I was considering building one as we use VM for our fog server and I thought it would be advantageous to the group. Thoughts?

I have noticed that no matter how many computers we image over a 1GB connection that the chart on the homepage of the gui never gets about 8mbps. Is this an incorrect reading and it is really going faster, or is there some kind of limit on how fast an image can go? We are using Sata 6 Gbps Sas drives…

Not a built in feature but we use a program called Bozteck and build UltraVNC client into our images. The program is available here [url]http://www.bozteck.com/vncscan/[/url] Works great even for deployments, file transfers, chat, etc…

I don’t know if this is a bug or a request. However, we use hostnamechanger alot and I have noticed that it just disables the account in active directory. Is there a reason for this? Can it be changed to delete? We tried to decompile and recompile the dll file and could not get the desired result. Help

Miami, Oklahoma Not to be mistaken with the beautiful and warm Miami

If we have a 10GB juniper switch and connection from our hub site would it be worth while to spend the 500-1000 on a 10GB nic?

A module for updating the IP address, with the fog service or during imaging, in the database so it shows up in the web GUI.

It does seem to be a documentation field. After we image a computer we connect to it to copy documents back over VNC. Occasionally we cannot connect using hostname for several hours however IP address works instantly. Just looking for added ease of use.

Thank you for all your help!
