Ok, I was thinking maybe some thing about the dchp, when the PC are on. I guess there is no way.

What exactly do you mean by that?

If you can grab all the MAC addresses from your DHCP server then you could compile a list of hosts to import to your FOG server or just run a wake on lan utility to wake those PCs for you. You still need to do the modifications @Taspharel suggested to have the clients go straight into quick register. After that you could do another round for hardware inventory…

So I guess it is possible but needs some work to be done by you. We don’t have a ready set solution for you I am afraid.

Just one final doubt, what does dnsmasq do to the dhcp?

We have dnsmasq only configured for proxy dhcp mode. In this configuration dnsmasq will only provide pxe boot information to override dhcp options 67 and 68. You MUST have a functional dhcp server on your network too. This configuration is used when people can change the settings in their dhcp server, we just override them with dnsmasq. If you turn off dnsmasq then the only thing that falls down is pxe booting. No other services are impacted.

If you are getting unexpected results from your dhcp server, then its your dhcp server not dnsmasq doing this to you.

If you want me to provide that dnsmasq is not messing up your dhcp process we can do that too. We’ll just capture a typical pxe booting process using tcpdump (or wireshark) to see exactly what is going down your network wire. I can show you how.
