First off, I absolutely love FOG, it’s brilliant work.
I have a bit of an odd environment, and have encountered problems with my planned deployment, so I’m hoping that someone can tell me if what I’m trying is even possible.
We’ve got a large deployment of Dell desktops, and are using Microsoft DHCP server (currently on 2012R2). For the majority of desktops, I want to have a WDS server configured to act as the imaging source.
However, there’s a lab of 50 machines on which I want to image Ubuntu.
My plan was to set up a FOG server, and then set the DHCP options for the machines in the computer lab to specifically use the FOG server.
I can get it to work with legacy boot, but I cannot get it to work with UEFI - and all our systems need to be UEFI booting. When I try, it sits on “start PXE over ipv4” for a while, then quickly flashes up "station address is <correct IP>, and then very briefly (I had to use slomo video on my phone to record) flashes up ‘Downloading NBP file… succeed to download NBP file’ - and then it lands in the standard dell boot error prompt.
I’ve tried using different boot files with no success.
Is what I’m trying reasonable, or am I setting myself up for failure?
Many thanks!
