My server hardware

Its just an old Dell T3400 with a terabyte drive, nothing beefy at all, even on 100mb connection to network, will change soon to 1 GB (should see a performance improvement)

Yes start from scratch

Working of snapshots so it doesn’t matter, as its like the machine is never really sysprepped

Change disk on original one, mine is set to ide. I’m using virtualbox

[quote=“IT @ CC, post: 3947, member: 252”]I sent falko a Dell bios unlocker. tested on our machines and it worked.

P.S thanks for the Dell tool[/quote]
Haven’t received any email with it. Upload it to [url=“http://www.filedropper”]www.filedropper[/url]. com

[quote=“Kendall Eley, post: 3916, member: 1270”]I have followed this through step by step on a virtual machine. I have made the image and captured the image in fog. I then setup a different VM and registered it in FOG. I deployed the image to the new machine. When the machine boots after the image is copied I get a Windows Boot Manager error.

Any ideas where to start?[/quote]

your virtual machine hard drives are set to IDE?

yep thats it,

join domain etc all comes from FOG

also use steps 7 and 8 from this guide [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/windows-7-deployment-fog-sad2-driver-tool.380/[/url]

sounds good, thanks defo #1 on my list when i get in

hmm, only created a single answer file, took 5 minutes tbh

Dell Client Configuration Utility lets you create a stand-alone executable package that can configure BIOS, update BIOS, or capture BIOS settings inventory data. The executable package can be run as a stand-alone package or used with enterprise software deployment tools.[/quote]
cheers, i’ll check that out tomorrow. My BIOS is already password protected though?

I like it the way it is to be honest, I build a single base image in a VIrtual Machine, snapshot it, upload it. roll back to snapshot, update, snapshot, upload. Takes minutes to update image. And only have one for all machines.

my image always rolls out fully updated, renames (as per name in FOG), and joins domain.

[quote=“jmwalton, post: 3910, member: 697”]well, the thing is, it works just fine, but the server gets slammed and we loose all contact with it, and the ram usage goes through the roof!
could the kernel have something to do with it?
the fog kernel I mean?
thank you again.[/quote]

I have never come across this myself, you may be best starting a new thread, maybe more people can chime in with help

yes you can have multiple kernels, if that field is blank the host will default to the kernel you have set as bzImage

here is a quote from another thread [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog_0-32-on-ubuntu-12-04.831/#post-3877[/url]

[quote=“falko, post: 3837, member: 48”]nope, you need to add it like this… Host Kernel: fog/kernel/<name_of_kernel>
all those with blank fields will default to the kernel you have set as bzImage

Note: In the screenshot below the kernel is called acer-aspire

[quote=“boon, post: 3930, member: 833”]Will the more ATI drivers be rolled into the Kitchen Sink 3.4.x? I am currently using [URL=‘http://scatteredspace.com/Fog/bzImage.zip’]this kernel[/URL] for any workstation that has an ATI card, otherwise I get the snow screen.[/quote]
have you tried the 3.4.1 kernel?

what ati card?

what kernel is that?

If your having issues , try the 3.4.1 or roll back to a kernel that works with them machines.

I believe current images will be fine, if you look in the DEV forum ntfs single partition deploys are not working in the fog 0.33 beta

[quote=“jmwalton, post: 3904, member: 697”]well, we have a ubuntu 10.04 server. and we have a ubuntu 10.04 storage server with tftp and pxe abilities thanks to the guide on the fog wiki and I included dhcp in that so that we could get it to work on a different network.
we are using currently some optiplex 760 and 740 computers and are going to be upgrading to optiplex 790s here soon.
thanks[/quote]
What kernel? And are your Ubuntu machines fully updated?

[quote=“Hunter, post: 3900, member: 1221”]You could disable DHCP on your router and build/configure a stand-alone DHCP server out of any spare computer you might have. I did mine using Linux Mint. That said, I believe their is a way to build/use the fog server has a DHCP server.[/quote]
Yes when installing fog just select y when asked about dhcp .

You might find installing webmin helpful too

Are you refering to 3.4, 3.4.1?

What’s your set up? What PCs

tbh i’m not quite sure lol, I know it has vmware ISCSI support and is just a maintenance release of astrouga’s 3.4 really

Linux kernel 3.4.1 includes mostly updated drivers, a few ARM, PowerPC, x86, and SPARC fixes, and other small improvements related to wireless networking and SELinux.
