@george1421 Agreed in my opinion… either have it working or remove…

@Sebastian-Roth Ok, the “fog menu image” I thought might be a bit much… so no that’s fine, it was an idea… would it not the be a good idea to add a default “bootable os”… like Hiren? Just thinking… but in all honesty… I love all of it, so thumbs up and brilliant work so far… I tip my hat to you gentlemen.

Did programming myself for a while, so got a good idea the words “hell of a lot of work” means when it comes to scripting / programming.

@george1421 I still say thank you for the assistance. FOG is great and any input (even if just an idea) I can do to help, I will gladly assist.

Currently FOG is helping managing 200 desktop systems that have a mix of Win (10 & 8.1), Mac (iMac 2010 - 2018) & Linux (Debian & Arch) systems and it works brilliantly including the snapin, activation & inventory functionality.

@george1421 Perfect I say thank you…

Suggestion, mention as well the “ability” to convert iso to “fog menu image”… also a very useful idea. If there was a function in the fog gui where I can (just brain farting now)…

Select “Create live image”, Select iso (bootable is up to user to create), and create. Fog then creating a menu entry to boot the image… live without deploying… Example, a hiren bootable iso.

Just an idea. That would give the ability to boot “any” live iso. Something like that can work as then you can get an iso for (example) WebCureIT, Hiren, Windows Installer iso… that would allow to use the tools like “Repair MBR” or “Recover Partition”, etc…

Even a menu entry (Live Images) and having it list them there… similar to “Deploy Image” in the PXE environment, just not deploy… running image. The important part would be the ability to boot image, and after restart… back to normal boot.

@george1421
“We can get FOG to deploy an iso or equiv image to take the place of the FOG AV scan” - if there a live anti-virus scan… done. My suggestion would then be to contact DrWebCureIT people and find out if they can maybe supply an updating image. Either that or an alternative… but a live scan is the idea… something that does not boot the target os to scan.

The only reason I am mentioning an updating image is as it (DrWebCureIT) works now, you download a bootable iso which can scan your system for virusses, but it can not update it’s definitions. So if tomorrow you need to scan again, either use your old disk (which is up to date up to yesterday) or download the new iso…

@george1421 That can work. The best live av scanner I have ever used was Dr WebCureIT. The whole idea of this being a brilliant feature is the fact that the server can keep it’s anti-virus up to date so no additional stuff is required.

Doing a net-boot then scan is a live scan. One of the best you can do as it then has to scan on a binary level and virus then can’t “hide” in system protected files… so even if using a clamav / Dr WebCureIT for a live scan… all good…

I understand that clamav is a linux scanner… but it scans files which is what it needs to do… Linux or not. I have scanned many partition types with this scanner… as long as your OS can read the partition, clamav can scan it, which is why I love it.

@george1421
Quick question, then why has it not been removed from the menu? This then just “advertises” what it can’t do… weird…

How do I close this thread as resolved (kind of)?

@george1421
Ok, I did not know it was not supported anymore. There is no folder in that location. I can add and share, but unless it is correctly setup and populated, I am not sure it will function… which means I might as well then take it out of the menu…

Ok, if not supported, I will remove from Menu, easiest

Thank you for your quick response.

Anti-virus scan… troubleshooting…
Could never get it to work since ever… first install was FOG 1.4.4 and updating ever since, even clean install is no go…

Error I am talking about…
