@george1421 George, I think I got the name correct for the Lenovo, getting further than before. I remember I had the name structure as ThinkPad T560 under the drivers folder, but getting stuck at Preparing Drivers… in progress. In the task menu on the web, it only shows like 1% and not moving. Any idea on why that’s happening?

@george1421 Ok, I’ll try that tomorrow when I go back to work. Thanks for the info, but can you tell me about the joining of the domain? or maybe it’s best if I use a script to just join it?

Hello, George,

1st off, thanks for all of your documentation on this. I’m getting further than before in my deployment.
I’m however stuck on a few things, so I’ll provide as much info as you need.
Fog server running on Ubuntu 16.04 server
Fog server version: 1.3.0-RC-10.

So here are the machines and other things we have in our environment:
laptops: Lenovo ThinkPad T540p, ThinkPad T560, Lenovo ThinkPad T530, and other lower models.
Desktops: Lenovo ThinkCentre M800

I used MDT 2013 Update 2 as you were saying about MDT and I took an image on our VMware and deployed the image on a ThinkPad T560 from the fog server I have on our VMware. On my fog server, there is already an image folder, so I created under there drivers/ThinkPad T560/win7/x64. 0_1482360759122_Lenovo.docx

Now do I need to create another subfolder under the root like images 2 or something like that? Sorry, I’m a Windows guy and still getting used to Linux. I also replaced the fog.postdownload with what you have in this forum and ran that chmod command and looked like it took it.

When I deploy the image to the T560, it 1st gave me an error with the fog.driver script from in the forum that failed to load the driver, had it just Thinkpad T560, had to do ThinkPad T560, then it would get stuck on in process during the driver loading and when it was preparing it for the first time, I would get errors during syspre that it had errors, forgot the exact error, so I would restart it and get an error windows rebooted and reinstalling Windows during the sysprep.

Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? also I’m unable to join the machine to my test domain. I did the hostnamechanger and did the encrypt, but still won’t join my test domain, the account is not a domain admin, but I gave it delegate to the test OU I created. Does it need the hostnamechanger for 1.3.0? I verified the options in AD on the console are checked off.

Look at the Word attachment I’ve attached.

I just don’t want to screw up anything on the network because of my experimenting.

Hello,

I’m new to Fog and the whole Linux thing. I have a desktop that has Unbutu desktop at my job with the fog server installed. When I try to boot up a test Lenovo T420 in PXE mode, it failes. Now I have both the desktop and laptop in the same switch, but I think I didnt configure something correctly during the setup.

we have existing DHCP and DNS servers on our LAN and I don’t want to screw up anything. I looked at guides on Fog’s website, but too many conflicting ways of doing things.

Can someone please give some advice on how to setup the fog server? I got a static IP from the networking team since I requested it. Any help would be appreicated.
