@Sebastian-Roth My apologies, it has been extremely busy over here. We are in the process of replacing all of our access points and our server infrastructure as well. I haven’t had time to check this for a long time.

@Sebastian-Roth That makes sense, to be honest, just didn’t think it would make a big difference. I actually followed those exact instructions to get UEFI working. All machines were able to boot to UEFI before. But now it’s just the one. The only thing that I changed was I reverted the changes I made for the driver injection that george1421 made. Now as I said only one machine that can boot with UEFI. It’s weird though, I can image the other machines with a UEFI format through the legacy Onboard NIC.

Update: They can boot into it with the Legacy Onboard NIC, but only one module can boot with the UEFI. They are different modules but they shouldnt be super different. They are all recent Lattitudes. Lattitude 7490 can boot into UEFI. However Lattitude 5480 and 7450 and 5450 cannot.

Hi, I set up the DHCP server to allow UEFI imaging for fog. And it works! But only one laptop module. I am wondering why any other module will get to the downloading NBS file and then ask to retry the boot. Does anyone have any ideas?

@Fernando-Gietz @george1421 Oh, well now I just feel dumb. That’s on me. Sorry guys. And thank you

Is there a way to get a list of all the registered machines? Get the serial number, computer name, etc?

@JJ-Fullmer
I’ll look through this and try to simplify it like you did. But below is the unatended file we are using.
Also yes, I would love it if you could find that refind function in the forums. As long as it also has instructions on how to properly set it up.

Again, thank you guys for all the help so far!!!

@Sebastian-Roth I got those results from our FOG Server. The machine that stores and deploys images.

@Sebastian-Roth SO for my inactivity, yes so our Fog Machine is set up on a CentOS desktop. Not a virtual machine itself. Our infrastructure is a little messed up right now so we didn’t want to add more to it. I will grab you a destination device as soon as I can.

@JJ-Fullmer
I am all ears.
Yep we use sysprep
It happens right after the fog imaging completes
We have tried both a vm and physical. Happens on both. (We prefer a physical Dell Lattitude 7490)
UEFI

@Sebastian-Roth Awesome. Sounds good! Thank you!

@Sebastian-Roth I am running version 1.5.5 I believe it’s the most current version.

After I capture an image and then deploy it to a new machine, the SSD is no longer recognized as “Windows Boot Manager” instead it is called a long name that includes SSD Partition 1. I am wondering if this is FOG or the way I image or capture my machines. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It wouldn’t be a huge deal except it screws the boot sequence up so I have to select that SSD to be the one it boots to first.

@george1421 Oh, my apologies. Thank you very much for your help. You’re truly a wizard as your profile picture shows. Thank you again!

@george1421 Is it possible to combine this with the driver injection, as having driver injection is still a good idea to have in my opinion.

@george1421 Thank you very much! Sorry for the late reply. It’s been very busy lately. We have been swapping out switches and equipment and Access Points and Printers. Just been a hectic couple of weeks

@george1421 We name them in a numeric sequence. It’s (Name of Company)-115121, the next laptop is (Name of company)-115122, and the next one is (Name of Company)-115123, and so on so fourth.

Just like the title says, is there a way to customize the computer name and join a domain without registering the pc? Maybe just a dialog box at the beginning and an automatic domain join at the end? Registering is pointless for us because we only image new laptops that we purchase. We don’t have anything to do with the machines when they come back. So going through the registering process is pointless.
