Hey guys we can close this I solved it.

The drivers that i had extracted with 7-zip was incomplete and with errors.
Removed the folder and extracted the .cab with pea zip and it started working as normal again.

Don’t know why that made it work, but it did.

@quazz So I tried it on a different model a laptop latitude 7480. And it works great no issues.
It’s just the workstation that is having the issue.
I can’t see that it copied every thing except the “video” folder which appears to be 2.89 GB. In size.
I had to hand out the desktop and don’t have one to test it on.

I will update you next time I try it.

@quazz This is what I have. Followed the guide that George wrote.

@george1421 So checked the folder and it is missing some files on the target machine when copying.
Is there a timeout on the script that causes it to kill the transfer if it takes too long?

ek_N

Well it doesn’t fail as you can see in the next picture pnputil is installing the drivers.
and the folder is on the C drive with no missing files.

“Well your “debug mode” picture explains why the task is not done”
It’s the copy drivers that fails the entire task to not complete?

ek_N

So this is weird. It says Failed to download driver.
But it works as you can see in the next picture where it’s installing the drivers.
Still doesn’t mark the task as complete.

I am using postDL scripts for Driver injection.
I’m running FOG 1.5.4
Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS

Hello!

I recommend following these guides.

Have worked for all of my models so far.
And all i need to do is keep my driver model repo in check.

Here is another approach.

Hope this guides you in the right direction.

Hello!
so there has to be imaging task in place for the computer to start imaging. These tasks are managed from the FOG server.
Even If they manage to start pxe boot without there being a scheduled imaging task in place it will just load the “fog menu”.
The menu has the option “Deploy now” but you can have that password protected.

That’s how we have it set-up. My English is not the best hope it makes sense and answered your question.

No volume license is one key that has many activations.

I’ve noticed that using the same OEM key on the same model and manufacturer has worked but you shouldn’t do it.

Here is link to check the OEM key and automate the activation.

BTW you can mark it as solved. Got it up and running from the info you guys gave me thank you!

@tom-elliott I was thinking about doing it. But i’m afraid it would ruin all the computers with the clients since they where installed with the IP address. Maybe this is not the case if I use FQDN instead?

ek_N

OK so I reverted back to http and it’s back to normal.

and it’s working again. I assume that since it was trying to boot https: with the IP. and the certificate had a hostname it wouldn’t accept it because it would show as invalid certificate?

@ek_n I spoke too soon this is what I get when i try to network boot a machine.

tftp://10.1.xxx.xxx/default.ipxe… ok

@tom-elliott Nevermind. DocumentRoot /var/www/fog worked as default. Thank you for all your time and help!

ek_N

@tom-elliott Thank you everything is running as normal. Just one more question. Documentroot should be this right DocumentRoot /var/www/fog ?

@tom-elliott

Ok, thank you I will try that unless @Sebastian-Roth has some input about the error log.

Hello! I used to have this setup in my 001-fog.conf to have Https (code below). after updating to 1.5.3 it dissapeared so i added it again and restarted apache. but still get a HTTP ERROR 500.

Have I been doing this wrong all the time even tho it worked?
it still works by using the ip/fog in the browser.

Suggestions or pointing me in the right direction greatly appreciated.
