Please see the debug upload task below. It may be something silly, but I am unable to upload my non-sysprepped Windows 10 Surface pro 4 image with the following error:

The next step states it could not mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 to /bcdstore.

Thanks!

@Sebastian-Roth I can try tomorrow, but this wasn’t happening yesterday on a few versions back. It’s not really an urgent issue since the deployment works.

Please see the picture below. Deployment does work in the normal time, but the partclone screen fills with what I assume are USB debugging messages about my mouse? I am on Trunk 8034, so sorry if this was already reported.

Thanks!

I just tried and got this error

Never mind I was in the wrong directory lol

I have this too. 7985 Git. Optiplex 990’s and Optiplex 5040’s both fail when trying to register.

Edit: I would also like to know if there is a way to revert or roll back through trunk. I am an idiot and have no test environment, so anything like this issue impacts production heavily.

@fry_p Once DHCP is configured, you will never have to change it. It takes 10 minutes to setup, every step is laid out for you in here:

I was able to set this up this morning. Works perfectly. The only thing is we have many scopes in the building I set up Surfaces at, so I set the policy at server level. Thanks for the tip!

@george1421 said in Surface Pro 4 on 7977:

@fry_p slightly off topic. But if your dhcp server is 2012 server there is an option to configure it to support both uefi and bios pxe booting.

I did see that in another thread. I am planning on implementing that, but I haven’t had any time to sit down and do it. Plus, right now, we have a grand total of roughly 25 UEFI devices compared to the thousand plus BIOS devices. It doesn’t need to be changed often (at least not yet). We are moving administrators to Surface Pro 4’s gradually so this will become a necessity. Thanks for the heads up.

@Tom-Elliott Sorry I didn’t get back to you earlier, I had to switch the bootfile back to undionly.kpxe because we needed to image a bunch of non UEFI machines the rest of the day. On Monday I will give it another try. Thanks to everyone else for the suggestions.

Hi All,
I am having a new issue imaging a Surface Pro 4. I am running Git 7977, and using the microsoft surface ethernet adapter, I am unable to get past two spots. First I was able to get to the PXE menu, but whatever I chose, it would go black and stay black.

I tried playing around with the other .efi files (snp, snponly) to no avail.

After switching back to ipxe.efi, it freezes here now:

Please let me know if you need more info. I was able to do this a while ago

Thanks,
Paul

@Tom-Elliott Never mind, in 7953 mobile is working on all fronts again.

@robza and @Wayne-Workman, just thinking out here. So we know the script runs flawlessly manually. Sorry if this is a silly question, but which user do you run it as? I believe the snapins run as SYSTEM (i think, correct me if I’m wrong). Could this have anything to do with the discrepancy we are seeing?

@Tom-Elliott I can start another thread if this is still an issue after updating, but I was trying to delete hosts on my iPhone since we are going around the school replacing PC’s today and imaging on site. This involved having to delete the old PC’s from FOG and registering the new ones. I was unable to search for hosts (all text in the field was italic and grey and didn’t yield results) and (after just listing all hosts) when I tried to delete a host, it just sat. This problem was happening on Chrome and Safari on my iPhone 5s. I can update in the morning and get screenshots. Can’t remember off the top of my head what Git we are on at the moment.

As a side note, I like the extra security feature for deletion due to interns coming in to help this summer! Very good idea.

@Tom-Elliott said in Around 100% cpu usage constantly:

@x23piracy just a guess that this goes crazy when updating.

That’s the case for me.

@adukes40 I haven’t watched the Q&A yet, but when I saw Smart Notebook in the post, I wanted to share the way I incorporate it into an image. I haven’t experimented with doing a snapin (though since updates for Smart Notebook are regular it would make sense), rather, I install it within an image. Once I deploy this Smart Notebook image, it tells me the license is expired, but with a couple of clicks (manage license>repair license online automatically) it’s good. I guess if you have many different images that need Smart Notebook, the snapin method would be best, but on a universal image (we have a generic smartboard image), I feel like it may be simpler to use my method and update it then re-upload as needed for new versions. We do it that way periodically for not only Smart updates, but other applications and windows updates. I can post screens on Tuesday of the simple license repair for Smart Notebook embedded images if anybody is interested.

I digress, this may have already been discussed and this thread is about a more in general snapin question, so I apologize for getting off topic.

@adukes40 said in Issues with FOG Client Pre-Sysprep (Or maybe it's me):

@Wayne-Workman batting .1000 so far lol. maybe a trip to the casino is in order

I wish I had such luck about a week and a half ago. Since the newest client is so much more efficient, there is a great chance it will screw up sysprep. I got lucky on only one PC out of 26 before I made the change in the SetupComplete.cmd. That was a bad day lol.

Edit: I should mention after the changes, I’ve not had a single issue.

@x23piracy I had the same issue. The only way I could fix it is restart the services as root. A full reboot didn’t do it for me. I use a script and added these commands at the end to do so (must be root! I run a cron job as root to do this):

service FOGMulticastManager stop && sleep 5 && service FOGMulticastManager start
service FOGPingHosts stop && sleep 5 && service FOGPingHosts start
service FOGImageReplicator stop && sleep 5 && service FOGImageReplicator start
service FOGSnapinReplicator stop && sleep 5 && service FOGSnapinReplicator start
service FOGScheduler stop && sleep 5 && service FOGScheduler start

@Sebastian-Roth I was overthinking this. I simply added it to the end of my script and set up a cron job as root. For proof of concept, I ran my script as root and it worked!

@Sebastian-Roth I’m having trouble understanding. Anything I do besides manually putting in sudo -i then running the service restart, I get “permission denied”. Also, the sudo -c throws the same error. This is a tough one. Since I embed my fogadmin account into my script, I’d have to either change that to root credentials or somehow embed both. Right now it is still the MulticastManager doing it.
