Ding ding ding ding! I need to set my dhcp server settings for UEFI!!! Thanks!!!

@george1421

I just tried it with the Secure Boot off and it failed the same way it did before.

It never even begins to load the iPXE.

@george1421

The BIOS says:

Downloading NBP file...

NBP file downloaded successfully.

Than it returns to starting to load Windows. I never see a FOG PXE boot screen at all. I’m running the 4.19.48 32 and 64 Kernel Versions. I have secure boot enabled.

I have the following enabled in UEFI:

Boot Options:
Onboard NIC (IPV4)

System Configuration:
Integrated NIC
Enable UEFI Network Stack
Enabled with PXE

SATA Operation:
AHCI

Secure Boot:
Enable Secure Boot
Audit Mode (I tried this doesn’t make a difference)

POST Behavior:
FAST Boot Thorough

@p4cm4n

Did you manage to get this figured out? My coworker ordered a pile of these and I can’t get it to PXE using UEFI… Any advice there?

Thanks!

Cheers!

My thought was to keep it simple. The INF file would remain on the server as it is currently with the printer module. The main goal with my idea is to make creating printers quicker and easier.

With the current setup you have to create a share directory on the FOG server (eg. SAMBA share) or locate an anonymously shared directory on an existing MS server where your inf files are located. Installing and setting up the SAMBA share is fairly straightforward. Getting the permissions correct the first time can be slightly challenging for some people. Why not incorporate the existing images directory share (as we do with snapins)? Have the very same upload option available when you upload INF files (the same as it is currently available for snapins). The upload feature would place the inf file in it’s own directory in the images directory.

It may be more code than it’s worth. I figured we could utilize the same code that is currently being used with the snapin feature (with a few mods). But I’m a novice coder.

@Sebastian-Roth

I can understand that. What I mean is that in the printer feature where you enter in the location of the inf file it would be helpful if you could locate and upload the file in the same manner as you do a snappin. Hopefully that makes more since now.

Hi all!

So I have been recently rebuilding my FOG server and thought of a feature that would be very handy to have. Is there any way we could have an option, in Snapins, to locate and select the inf file locally, like you can select the snapin file in the snapin addon? That would be super helpful.

I appreciate all you do!

Thanks!

I’m on fire today guys… I apologize for all of these mis-posts… The reason why my FOG hosts aren’t getting jobs is because my old server is still online… I was running an old image that had my previous server IP on it for the client…

Boy oh boy! Glad it was that simple. I believe that is the end of it.

Please mark this as solved.

FOG Ver. : 1.5.6.4
FOG OS: Centos 7

I have been experincing an issue with my DB. We determined I was on an older version from when FOG Working-1.6 was out there. I am experiencing an issue where Snap-In’s are not deploying via Group settings. When I look at the Fog.log on the hosts I see SnapinClient == Response No snapins. I also do not see anything under Task Management. When I go into the DB their are numerous entries in snapinJobs and snapinTasks.

I’m assuming this goes back to the issues I was having with my database schema…

Anyhow an ideas on how to fix this would be great!

I appreciate everything the FOG team does!

Cheers!

Nevermind!!! My browser must have been being an issue…

Disregard this thread. SMH…

Ha!

@Sebastian-Roth

@Tom-Elliott

Well I found more issues with my Database… The snap-in’s won’t update for the hosts. I tried adding a snap-in to a host and it would not. I also tried removing a snap-in and it would not remove either. Yikes.

But Multi-Tasking is working! Ha!

Let me know any ideas for DB commands or log files that might be useful. This has to be tied to my other Schema issues from using the 1.6–Working…

Thanks!

@Fernando-Gietz
@Sebastian-Roth

Fernando’s fix takes it! That worked!

The first statement didn’t produce any results. But the second one did and after I restarted Multicasting, things are working again! Woo Whoo!

Thanks guys! I owe you both a beer!

Cheers!

For the record, if anyone else has this issue…

This was the fix…

ALTER TABLE multicastSessions
ADD COLUMN msAnon4 VARCHAR(250) AFTER msAnon3;

@Sebastian-Roth
@Fernando-Gietz

Any advice on how to manually reverse the last few schema changes?

Thanks!

@Sebastian-Roth
@Tom-Elliott

Yes, I have used Tom’s working-1.6 branch. I’ll check out the link you posted from github and see if I can’t figure things out.

Thanks for looking at it!

Enjoy your travels!

@Sebastian-Roth

I’d need a bit of guidance there as I have little experience working in the DB. But I’m willing to try anything. I have a backup. Ha!

@Fernando-Gietz

I blame @Tom-Elliott ! Ha! He helped me with it last year and the past few years.

Any ideas? I’ll be around all day today if you guys want to take a look at it.

Thanks!

@Sebastian-Roth

Awesome! That gives me a place to start. Thanks! I’ll do some digging. I’ll be tied up here in a couple hours for the rest of the day. I’ll post what I find out before I head out though. Thanks again!

@Fernando-Gietz

OK. So now it’s saying:

“Invalid MultiCast Session” on the hosts. Nothing new in the log. I have the /etc/httpd/logs/error_log pulled tail -f and nothing new is showing up there.
