There are two partitions on the disk, a 350MB partition and a 100GB partition (of which only 25GB is in use) which contains the OS. It is very similar to the Windows 8 disk structure that I successfully imaged earlier. I just changed the OS type in the image I uploaded to Windows 7 and it behaves the same; it quickly reboots after beginning the load. Or, do I need to upload a new image with the OS set to Windows 7? I’m not sure if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Hi all,

I was wondering if Windows Server 2012 will be supported as an imaged system for deployment? I’m a software developer in a group that uses Ghost currently for deploying several images for automated testing, including Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012. I have Ubuntu server 14.04 installed with FOG version 1.1.2 and I got it all up and running fairly easily and have imaged Windows 8, uploading and downloading successfully to VMware Workstation 10.0.3. If I try to do the same with Windows Server 2012, I can get the image to upload successfully, but it doesn’t download; the job seems to complete very fast and the VM reboots to a Missing operating system prompt. Has anyone gotten Windows Server 2012 to image successfully, and if so, can you share what settings you are using for the image? I tried “Windows Other” and “Windows 8” for the operating system when creating the image and "Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable). Is there any other information that I should post that would be helpful? I just started working with FOG yesterday and have been reading through the documentation and forums for anything I can find for assistance.

Thanks,
Dave

I’d love to see an API as well; as part of our software build procedure we image systems for automated testing. Currently we’re using Ghost but are exploring FOG as a promising alternative. I’ll also look into the pyFog project as a potential solution, but an API would be great.
