Great work !! :clap_tone1:

@george1421

I just made a .bat with this inside and it looks to work fine.

@echo off
msiexec /qn /x "FOG Service Installer.msi"
msiexec /qn /i "FOGService.msi"

Thank you.

@Wayne-Workman I’ll work a bit more on the script.
edit :

IF %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==AMD64 set programpath=%programfiles(x86)%
IF %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==x86 set programpath=%programfiles%
IF EXIST "%programpath%\FOG\fog.ca.cer" GOTO END
set FogServerIP=fogserver
set GetID=wmic product where "Version like '3.0.29' and name like 'FOG Service'" get IdentifyingNumber
for /F "skip=1 delims=" %%i in ('%GetID%') do if not defined ID set "ID=%%i"
IF "%ID%" NEQ "" start /wait msiexec /x %ID% /q
start /wait bitsadmin /transfer FOGService /download /priority normal http://%FogServerIP%/fog/client/FOGService.msi %temp%\FOGService.msi
start /wait msiexec /i %temp%\FOGService.msi /quiet WEBADDRESS="%FogServerIP%"
:END

This should works but I don’t know wwhy my download end in queue when there is nothing else to do and I can’t install client silently… I love computers…

@sourceminer Hello, I never tested using a channel but using a private message works fine with test token.

Here is my conf :

Hello,
I am working on WAPT packages import directly in snapins.
I am writing single line powershell script to rename to zip, extract to directory, find command and run it.

This is my first test script for VLC from windows :

$packwapt = "tis-vlc_3.0.16-12_x64_windows_0f4137ed1502b5045d6083aa258b5c42_5.1_PROD.wapt";
$packname = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($packwapt);
Copy-Item $packwapt $packname".zip";
Expand-Archive -LiteralPath $packname".zip" $packname;
Remove-Item $packname".zip";
$s = Get-Content -Path $packname"\setup.py" | Select-String -Pattern "silentflags = ";
if ($s -ne $null) {
	$s=[regex]::matches($s,'(?<=\").+?(?=\")').value;
	Get-ChildItem -Filter $packname"\*.exe" | ForEach {&$_.Fullname $s}
};
Remove-Item $packname –recurse;

I’m not sure where I am going and if this is useful… lol

@Jbob It’s working.

I found something else.
In the MSI détails, I don’t have the right version displayed.
It’s write : {16B0BCD7-423F-49A9-B757-E457D7312A33}

Can you display version during install ?

Shouldn’t we be able to update client from tray or from GUI ?
I didn’t find how do this without overwriting.

@george1421 Just found proxy in ~/.bashrc
I run install again.

I have review my first idea.
I have used Snapin Pack.
Zip the wapt and the ps1 script and it’s working for VLC WAPT package.

Get-ChildItem -Filter '*.wapt' | ForEach {
	Set-Variable -Name packwapt -Value $_.Fullname
	Set-Variable -Name packname -Value $packwapt.Substring(0,$packwapt.Length-5)
	Copy-Item $packwapt $packname'.zip'
	Expand-Archive -LiteralPath $packname'.zip' $packname
	Set-Variable -Name s -Value (Get-Content -Path $packname'\setup.py' | Select-String -Pattern 'silentflags = ')
	if ($s -ne $null) {
		Set-Variable -Name s -Value ([regex]::matches($s,'(?<=\").+?(?=\")').value)
		Get-ChildItem -Path $packname -Filter '*.exe' | ForEach {
			Start-Process -FilePath $_.Fullname $s -Wait;
		}
	}
}

I make new install of Fog under Debian.
I was using Ubuntu years ago so it’s old install (3 years old).

I have been testing Fog version since years with Tom.
And as i work with VM, i can revert change easily.

@george1421 Was this !! But needed a reboot after.

Thank you very much to all of you.

@george1421 Rebuild to last version didn’t fix the problem.
@Tom-Elliott Exit type to EXIT give a “chainloading failed…”

using snponly.efi fixed the problem.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

For the first time, I had “zstd /stdin unsupported format” during deploy after moving an image between FOG servers and crossing two Windows computers.

I end checking CRC with the commands directly inside image directory :

This way I can check between my 2 computer under Windows before checking between my two FOG servers.

@george1421 As it’s happening only on my personnal FOG install, I don’t care to have to unplug lan cable.
I’ll try rebluild iPXE when I have time.
Thank you.

@garrett-stevenson
I’m not sure of your question but I have installed fog from zip without internet (I am also behind a firewall) by using the -X (–exitFail Do not exit if item fails").
Then I downloaded them with other computer and have copied them in the /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ directory with winscp (using home as intermediate directory and then puting back rights and owner)
Yet I had all packages needed to run fog already installed.

The problem doesn’t appear with my other FOG server .
FOG version 1.5.9.37
Kernel 5.15.19
Exit type : REFIND_EFI

Hello,

FOG 1.6.0-alpha 1182
Kernel 6.1.22
Exit type : REFIND_EFI

After deploying an image that have been sysprep with the two last version of Windows 10 (21H2 and 22H2) and 11 22H2 on Lenovo M75q Gen2 and Lenovo M70q, I have BSOD “DRIVER VERIFIER DMA VIOLATION” if i go through EFI PXE.
If I disconnect network cable during boot, I don’t have this BSOD.

I don’t have the problem with Lenovo and HP computer from 2018.

What PXE could change during Windows boot that can create a BSOD ?

Thank you.

Add NAS on the same network of the FOG server.
In my case, FOG server has IP 192.168.0.50 and NAS has 192.168.0.55.

On the ReadyNAS web interface

• Add a share and select NFS protocol.
  

• Click on the
  
  of the share to add allowed computer.

• Enter the IP of the FOG server and clic Add
  

• On the FOG server, create a new image directory and mount your NAS share
  

• Test write from FOG server
  

You should see the new directory on the ReadyNAS web interface

To mount it add FOG server boot, edit the /etc/fstab file and add this line

192.168.0.55:/data/images /images2  nfs      defaults    0       0

• Reboot and check auto mount working (create a file or a directory as previous test from manual mount)

• Change owner of the /images2 directory with command

chown fogproject:root /images2

• Edit or add your storage on FOG GUI to use it.
  

• If you added a new storage node in the same storage group, you should see your images, dev and postdownloadscripts directories on NAS share after replication.
  

@Sebastian-Roth
I think to know what is blocking.
I have to change vlan and fog IP adress to make updates but it use IP parameter in the updateDB() function :

wget --no-check-certificate -qO - --post-data="confirm&fogverified" --no-proxy ${httpproto}://${ipaddress}${webroot}management/index.php?node=schema >>$error_log 2>&1

I think -X with help to finish install.

@Sebastian-Roth
Hi,
I have run

./installfog.sh -y

Here is what script says at the end :

I have no request to update DB on GUI.
It directly go to the dashboard and GUI works well.

Hello,

I try to update to last dev version from 1.6.0-alpha.1133 but it stuck at “Updating Database”.
Last install error log is : Started The PHP 7.3 FastCGI Process Manager.

Any idea of what i can do to reach the end of the install script ?

Thank you.
