I have a Driver folder in our image directory that is very large, is there a way to set replication to sync only specific drivers to specific sites? I tried setting up an “image” and pointed it to the specific folder (Image Path: Images/Drivers/Optiplex7400) inside the driver folder put it never replicated.
Currently the Driver folder is replicating 110GBs out to all of our sites when only a few folders really need to be copied.
This is more of a question than a problem. Would renaming the “Default” Storage Group and the “DefaultMember” Node cause an issue? and if so what would need to be changed to prevent said issue?
Thanks,
@sebastian-roth Thank you and @george1421 for your assistance it this matter. It worked great!
Thanks again and keep up the great work!
@george1421 Yes, all my computers are using the fog client, the issue is we are not allowed to set PXE as the first boot option, has to be the hard drive, so it negates the feature. I was just thinking instead of giving our Interns/temp help access to fog and starting inventory tasks from the web gui it would just be faster to PXE boot a computer and select “run inventory”.
@george1421 If I have a host that is not registered in fog and I choose to run the Full Inventory task from the PXE menu, can’t we do something similar to that with hosts that are already registered? I do remember back in the Fog .32 days it was possible.
Thanks for all your assistance!
@george1421 after adding your changes to the config now it is showing the hostname and mac but saying no task found. So would the next step be adding a command to create and start the inventory task?
@george1421 adding the space after the boot|| has gotten me farther now.
Now it is displaying Attempting to check in …Failed
Invalid MAC Address! (in line for )
@george1421 If I delete the “&mac=00:00:00:00:00:01” part I get the following output

@george1421 Okay, I did that and it just takes me to the fog web gui and has me log into the home screen.
I am running Ubuntu 16.04 with Fog 1.5.9
@george1421 Okay, i deleted out the new line from loglevel=4 so its one string but am still seeing the output above. How do I call the URL your asking for?
@george1421 I tried the task you listed, when I run it, it says
“Could not boot: No such file or directory (http://pxe.org/2d16208e))”
@george1421 I’m going into the web gui for the client and choosing the advanced menu and then clicking on inventory to start an inventory task. then I go to the client that I chose and boot it into pxe to start the task. I would like to be able to just run the inventory task directly from the pxe menu.
Hello! Is there a way to add the Inventory task to the PXE Boot Menu so I do not need to access the web GUI to execute it?
Thanks
@sebastian-roth That took care of the problem.
Thank you all.
@Tom-Elliott I do not have a fog.dashboard.js file in that directory.
Well I re-ran the Installer for Fog 1.5.9 and reboot the fog server. I imaged 5 computers and now they are changing the names and adding to the domain correctly using Fog Client 12 without issue.
The new issue I am seeing is in the image I posted below.
@Tom-Elliott I uninstalled the fog client in Windows and it changed the name and added to the domain after being reinstalled. So, it will add to the domain if I reinstall the service but doesn’t work when it is installed during imaging.
I have other fog servers that are still on 1.5.8 with client 11.19 and do not have this issue.
@Sebastian-Roth I use the Post Download Scripts to copy the FogService.msi file from the fog server to the client and then the SetupComplete.cmd runs the the FogService.msi file to install it. I just changed the Fog Client version on my fog server to change between the different versions.
