    • RE: Dell Venue 8 Pro imaging/eMMC

      Good news, Single Disk (Resizable) uploads and deploys normally.

      The problem was with my automated .xml I use with WDS. I had to manually set the partition types/sizes in the .xml and apparently FOG didn’t like something I had set.

      Anyway, I turned off the automated setting, re-deployed to my image station, wiped out all partitions and let Windows automatically create the partitions. Once that was done I re-uploaded without issue. Then I deployed without issue 🙂

      After this deploys I’m gonna try the newer init_32.xz, I have a feeling it will be fine now 🙂

      Turn legacy booting off. Then set the bootfile to any .efi file and try again.

    • RE: PHP 7.0.0 finally Released

      Update (don’t install yet) to the latest trunk via Git or SVN, then…

      Edit /opt/fog/.fogsettings (or just comment out this line):

      packages=''
      

      Purge everything php5:

      sudo service apache2 stop
      
      sudo apt-get purge -y php5 php5-common php5-json php5-gd php5-cli php5-curl php5-mysqlnd php5-fpm php5-mcrypt php5-readline libapache2-mod-php5
      
      sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ondrej-ubuntu-php5-5_6-wily.list
      sudo rm -rf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf
      sudo rm -rf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load
      

      Install php7.0:

      sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php-7.0
      
      sudo apt-get update
      
      sudo apt-get install -y libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0 php7.0-phpdbg php7.0-readline php7.0-cgi libphp7.0-embed php7.0-cli php7.0-common php7.0-curl php7.0-fpm php7.0-json php7.0-mcrypt php7.0-mysql php7.0-opcache php7.0-gd php php-cli php-common php-curl php-gd php-mcrypt php-mysql php-readline
      

      Edit /lib/ubuntu/config.sh (lines 19-23, 81, delete line 82):

      php_ver=7.0
      php_verAdds="-7.0"
      repo="php${php_verAdds}"
      [[ $php_ver != 7.0 ]] && phpcmd="php" || phpcmd="php"
      [[ $php_ver != 7.0 ]] && phpfpm="php-fpm${php_ver}" || phpfpm="php7.0-fpm"
      
      [[ $php_ver != 7.0 ]] && phpini="/etc/$phpcmd/$php_ver/apache2/php.ini" || phpini="/etc/$phpcmd/$php_ver/apache2/php.ini"
      

      That’s it 🙂 then install the current trunk that you already updated to and the install should finish without errors.

      If I had to guess I’d imagine that my work on config.sh could be simplified or improved but this always works and I don’t ever have to worry about php5 trying to re-install via .fogsettings.

      Please feel free to use any/all of these steps as any of you please. I’m no expert on php but I can’t see any reason why the latest FOG shouldn’t be pure php7.0.

      Feedback is always welcome 🙂

    • RE: Dell Venue 8 Pro imaging/eMMC

      IT WORKS!!! You guys are amazing!

      I did have to set Host Primary Disk to /dev/mmcblk0 but that was it 🙂

      Single Disk - Resizable works!

      @MRCUR No…just hopes and dreams.

      Of course I’m running FOG on them lol…two normal servers and two storage nodes.

    • RE: Help with creating a PowerShell Snapin
      1. Re-package your desired software that you normally deploy with PDQ deploy into MSI’s (test all of them to confirm they install correctly).
      2. Create Snapins and have them auto-deploy when desired.
      3. ???
      4. Profit!

    • RE: Making a single, hardware-independent image

      I should mention that the Dell .exe driver packages will not work as-is. Make sure you extract them first.

      This is the driver folder structure I use for all of my images:

      AHCI
      Audio
      Chipset
      LAN
      Video
      WiFi

    • RE: Ideal FOG Setup

      I used 14.04 for about 6 months on two FOG servers, then fresh installed 14.10 on both of them.

      I’ve been running 14.10 for over 8 months on both now with no issues. Don’t sweat it, IMO…

      @mcgonigiggle The manufacturer’s site, silly 😛

      If you’re only using those two Dell models just grab the drivers for both, extract them to your folder, run the reg add command and you’re done.

    • RE: Second "server" to solve bios boot order problem if Fog server not available

      You could always use SolarWinds Free TFTP Server on two separate servers (assuming you have them) or two regular old computers would even work.

      Just configure both and copy your FOG server’s /tftpboot into both TFTP server’s root folder for their TFTP directories.

      Of course this isn’t completely fail-safe…but this may do the trick:

      Hostname: TFTP-Server01 (10.0.0.5)
      Hostname: TFTP-Server02 (10.0.0.6)

      Set option 66 to point at TFTP-Server01.

      Add static DNS entries:

      TFTP-Server01 (10.0.0.5)
      TFTP-Server02 (10.0.0.6)
      TFTP-Server01 (10.0.0.6)

      As you can see, TFTP-Server01 has two entries, the second being TFTP-Server02’s IP.

      This works in a Windows environment as long as the second IP for the specific host is numerically higher (e.g. 10.0.0.6/10.0.0.7/10.0.0.8/etc.)

      The only way hosts would be stuck waiting for their PXE bootfile is if both TFTP servers went down…you could even add a third server (TFTP-Server03 (10.0.0.7)) and just add another entry for TFTP-Server01 (10.0.0.7).

      This is how I have FOG setup in one of my environments. This way I can freely reboot my FOG server and only need to worry about it being up when I want to image.

    • RE: Dell Venue 8 Pro imaging/eMMC

      @AsGF2MX I didn’t have much time yesterday to tinker but I simply uploaded all four image types, starting with raw and working my way up. Once I saw the upload working I forced the tablet off and tried the next image type until I finished with Single Disk - Resizable.

      I’m actually gonna deploy my WDS image I’ve been using for these onto my image tablet and upload it to FOG before the OOBE can commence. I’ll report any findings…

    • RE: Remove legacy client and install 0.9.5 client
      1. Open a command prompt as Administrator.
      2. Type wmic and hit enter.
      3. /node:“Computer-01”,“Computer-02”,“Computer-03” /user:domain\user /password:password product where name=“FOG Service” call uninstall /nointeractive
      4. From there you can deploy the new client 🙂

    • RE: Dell Venue 8 Pro imaging/eMMC

      @AsGF2MX Ok, I uploaded my image as Single Disk - Multiple Partitions and it still wouldn’t deploy. I then tried my oldest init_32.xz (SVN 3504) and it works.

      Nope, I still use the 64-bit .efi files for these larger Asus EFI tablets we have.

      On Monday I’m gonna experiment some more…I’m confident that with the right init_32.xz Single Disk - Resizable can work.

      None of the steps have changed on Windows 10. I still use my 8.1 answer files when sysprepping 10 🙂

    • RE: Dell Venue 8 Pro imaging/eMMC

      @Tom-Elliott Will do…I was shocked that I was able to upload the image but had issues deploying it. When the init_32.xz from SVN 3504 worked I was even more baffled.

      Now all we need is a Secure Boot signed set of iPXE .efi bootfiles!
