and netsh interface show interface gave me null response

Is what i get from my colleague at the computer. Good to know that this can cause the issue though and that it’s not the server itself. Going to suggest a hardware upgrade and get that going. Thank you.

@Deastrom said:

Is CIFS supported in 1.2.0 though?

Nope, sorry.

Do you have an example of what the storage node in the web interface would look like for a SMB storage node?

The same as one that uses NFS. you have to change the client’s boot code. Let me try to find my notes on it…

Also, it’d be good to know what version of FOG you’re running which should be in the “cloud” logo at the top of the page. Also remember, we’re not creating normal cron tasks the way most others may think. So there’s bound to be a difference or two. I know the current setup is as close as I could make it. If you can think of a better way of handing the representation of the next run times and proper implementation through a PHP and GUI friendly interface, I’d love to see it. I’m all about trying to better things.

@Deastrom Ah.

If this is a 1:1 host to image environment for the DSR you were talking about… I don’t know why you’d even need the fog client… unless you want it to deploy EXEs or MSIs or printers or such… or schedule reboots, shutdowns, etc. But a DSR’s purpose is not to deploy MSIs or shutdown computers, you know?

I say test this tomorrow, fully - with at least one computer. I wouldn’t risk downloading to the same computer, but perhaps to a same (or similar) model that you have as a spare.

If this doesn’t work, don’t fear, we have FOG Trunk that does work on Debian 8.

Figured it out.

goto ${username} || goto MENU :fogUser menu item --gap -- ---------------- Welcome fogUser ---------------- item return return to previous menu item kav Kaspersky Antivirus choose --default return target && goto ${target} :fogTech item --gap -- ---------------- Welcome fogTech ---------------- item return return to previous menu item Clonezilla Clonezilla ISO item UBCD Ultimate Boot CD item Hirens Hiren's Boot CD item kav Kaspersky Antivirus choose --default return target && goto ${target} :MENU menu item --gap -- ---------------- iPXE boot menu ---------------- item return return to previous menu choose --default return target && goto ${target}

Then just define the functions below the menu. fogTech and fogUser being different users that the menu accounts for and MENU being the default menu.

This was made apparent after looking at the advanced.php code presented here https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Advanced_Boot_Menu_Configuration_options

Access to this menu can be granted without granting that user rights to the website by clicking the “Mobile/Quick Image Access Only?” toggle when creating the user.

Setup FTP and NFS on the storage array and use it directly, rather than trying to NFS into the VM and NFS out of it again.

Neat, I’ll have to give this a shot. Thank you guys.

Thank you all so much for your responses. They were both timely and very helpful. I am very close to implementation of this system (only have a OS/2 Warp on HPFS hurdle to jump) and I’ll be ready to pitch the idea to the server team. I’ll be active in the forums on my findings going down this road (contribute) in an effort to pay you all back for you help.

We managed to fix this. We had to go into the FOGClient config.ini which is located in the etc folder of the FOGClient installation folder. We had to change forcerestart under the taskreboot from 0 to 1. That’s all. If anyone has wiki access to change the Client setup page, please be sure to include this.
