microsoft recommended way.

I see your point, my company’s brainchild no longer with us, let his soul rest in peace created images specifically for model type but I have apply them to different models and they work. I read if you sysprep the image size is also smaller too.
George, thank you again, Im going to follow your guide tomorrow.
I don’t want to be a pest but would appreciate if I can reach out to you you have great instructions

@george1421
Thanks for the reply
Ram is only 8G and 256G SSD
this is only to learn to prep an image capture it and image
do I need to sysprep the image?

Hi George,
thank you for your help much appreciated.
Would you be able to help me setup a Fog server for home use, due to the lockdown we are not going in to the office. I have a
Netgear (GS308P)/8 Port Switch
Lenovo Thinkcenter M710Q/Intel 5i connecting to Hitron Coda Home wireless modem
install Ubuntu v20.04.2.LTS
Fog v1.5.9
I like to learn to use the fog enviroment to capture images and deploy images mainly to new lenovo laptops runing Win10

it looks like the image drive storage was full
I have deleted ooold images and its working
I can upload new image and image

Here you go, yes its an old Fog solution I have inherited, I need to start working on a new Fog server. I’m learning this solution its not supporting new Lenovo hardware.
I appreciate your help

Here is the error

I register the host with fog server.
MAC address is register but when I try to deploy the image I get the error message
Prepareing Backup location failed
Your help is much appreciated

Version: 1.5.9 Installer/Updater

  What version of Linux would you like to run the installation for?

          1) Redhat Based Linux (Redhat, CentOS, Mageia)
          2) Debian Based Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu)
          3) Arch Linux

  Choice: [2] 



  Starting Debian based Installation


  FOG Server installation modes:
      * Normal Server: (Choice N) 
          This is the typical installation type and
          will install all FOG components for you on this
          machine.  Pick this option if you are unsure what to pick.

      * Storage Node: (Choice S)
          This install mode will only install the software required
          to make this server act as a node in a storage group

  More information:  
     http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=InstallationModes

  What type of installation would you like to do? [N/s (Normal/Storage)] n

  We found the following interfaces on your system:
      * wlp2s0 - 192.168./24
      * enp0s31f6 - 

  Would you like to change the default network interface from wlp2s0?
  If you are not sure, select No. [y/N] n

  Would you like to setup a router address for the DHCP server? [Y/n] y
  What is the IP address to be used for the router on
      the DHCP server? [192.168.0.1]192.168.

  Would you like DHCP to handle DNS? [Y/n] y
  What DNS address should DHCP allow? [127.0.0.53] 192.168.
  Would you like to use the FOG server for DHCP service? [y/N] n

  This version of FOG has internationalization support, would  
  you like to install the additional language packs? [y/N] n

  Using encrypted connections is state of the art on the web and we
  encourage you to enable this for your FOG server. But using HTTPS
  has some implications within FOG, PXE and fog-client and you want
  to read https://wiki.fogproject.org/HTTPS before you decide!
  Would you like to enable secure HTTPS on your FOG server? [y/N] y

  Which hostname would you like to use? Currently is: jimmy-ThinkCentre-M710q
  Note: This hostname will be in the certificate we generate for your
  FOG webserver. The hostname will only be used for this but won't be
  set as a local hostname on your server!
  Would you like to change it? If you are not sure, select No. [y/N] n
