Does anyone have any idea whats happening here? I’m very lost.

Hi guys, I’m pretty new to fog and all of its features so my apologizes in advance if this is a newbie/stupid question.

At my place of work we have different software packages for the teachers to create and grade exams, the install discs contain multiple folders so I compressed them into one .exe file using SFXMaker that unzips and installs it like it would from the cd. I’m able to open and install it if I click it manually but I’m having problems getting fog to install it on a client computer.

I already modified my fog server to be able to accept larger snap ins, and I was able to successfully install the fog client on the computer I’m trying to put the software on. I make a new task to install the snap in, and according to the fog log in the c drive and the network usage monitor, the computer DOES receive the install file, but it never runs, therefore never actually installs. The task stays active until I reboot the computer, but the program still isn’t installed. Any ideas? Am I making a stupid mistake? Help please??

@Wayne-Workman So in order for me to make an image that will work on both of these laptops I’ll have to start over and install all of the drivers for the new laptop on the computer that I’m taking the image of right? So technically once all those drivers are installed, I’ll capture the image and I should be able to deploy it to the other laptop right? Any additional steps or just install those drivers?

Hi there,
I’m new to FOG. I managed to set up and configure a server with the documentation on the wiki (very helpful and detailed!!) and just successfully uploaded an image. However I just deployed that image and now I can’t get the deployed image to boot, here’s my problem and what I did before hand:

I captured an image of a Dell Laptop, then deployed that image to a different model dell laptop and now that different model dell laptop will not boot. I assume it’s some kind of driver issue since i didn’t run sysprep or FOGprep beforehand. Any way to salvage this image or do I have to start over again?
