Hello,
(french user, sorry for my bad english … 
)
Sorry for the question (the post is quite old) but i’m lost to choose the best solution for Driver Injection after image Deploy.
In my environment, we have HP, DELL, Lenevo computer (laptop, desktop).
What is the best way ? postdowloadscript included in Fog ? Or this way ? Or … it’s “depend on” ?
Many thanks 
Have a nice day.
Many thanks for your reply.
I think, for the beginning, i will try the Quazz’s advice.
I will post my experience in this topic later …
Hi everybody,
I want to create my first “golden” image for FOG with different hardware : HP8000, DeLL 7010, DeLL 3020, HP2530 …
After a Google search, i found this tutoriel :
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Create_a_windows_7_image_for_many_different_hardware
But, in 2017, it’s still works ?
If the answer is “Yes”, can i do this tutorial with VirutualBOX (free version) instead of VMWare ?
Many thanks
Have a nice day.
@Jbob Thank you for your reply.
There is any solution to say to FOG : “i want manage the printers of this computer but, please, don’t delete the PDFCreator printer”.
@Sebastian-Roth Interesting … Maybe i can try to do not include the PDFCreator Printer in the image and add it (by snapins) on computers after the deploy task … but what is the result about the default Printer ? Need to be NOT the PDFCreator printer
Or maybe i just install all printers on the master, delete the printers by the Windows Printers Menu (except PDFCreator), upload the master.
On the clients, i just check “add printers” (instead of “add and delete”) in the FOG printers management ?
Hi everybody,
First, basic informations :
FOG Version : 1.2.0
OS Version : Debian 7
uname -a : Linux fog 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 x86_64 GNU/Linux
French user.
I have just a little question : can we add the specific PDFCreator printer on FOG ?
In fact, i have 2 classrooms with the same models computers but 2 differents printers in each classroom.
These printers are included into the image (with drivers).
After a deploy of the first classrooms, i want only specific printers on comptuers of classroms.
Example (just 2 printers but in reality, they are 4 printers) :
After deploy, i want :
Currently, after a deploy, i have all printers installed. I delete manually the unwanted printers on all computers (2 * 25) …
With the “Management Printer”, I’m able to delete printers and add 3 of 4 printers.
But i can’t add a PDFCreator printer. FOG is able to manage this particular printer ?
Thank you for your help.
PS : i tried the search function of forum but seem to be broken …
@Tom Elliott : Many thanks for your answer.
Now, i will use my brain and think if multicast is really necessary …
In french, a proveb say : “Le mieux est l’ennemi du bien”.
In few days, i will discuss with my collegue of the situation and we will choose a good decision about that.
PS : Learn guitar is hard but it’s a very cool hobbie
@Tom : Yes. I know this issue and it can be solved by using unfs3 … but, i think, with unfs3, the average transfer will be slow.
Now, i’m not sure if multicast is necessary … 
If i have time, i will compare the average transfer time between “unicast” and “multicast unfs3” and will post results here.
Hi !
Thank you for your answers Tom and ch3i.
If i understood, the only solution is to delcare the NAS directly on the FOG server by using the /etc/fstab ?
Like this : NAS_ip:/volume1/images /images nfs defaults 0 0
and use the DefaultMember storage ?
Hi.
I follow the Multicast debug guide but, no better result :
on server : killall udp-sender
on server : udp-sender
server say : udp-sender 20120424
multicast logs on server say :
"11:34:58.608529 Using mcast address xxx.xx.xx.xxx
11:34:58.608671 UDP sender for /opt/fog/.fogsettings at xx.xx.xx.xx on eth0
11:34:58.608694 Broadcasting control to xx.xx.xx.255
run debug task on client and boot PXE client
on client : udp-receiver
client say : udp-receiver 20120424
client say : UDP receiver for (stdout) at “ip client adr” on eth0
and nothing happened …
@ch3i :
French : Merci pour ses précisions.
Effectivement, j’ai bien un user sur mon NAS et mon fog identique.
Pour le multicast, je comprend mieux la différence au niveau du NODE, merci.
Du coup, ça serait mon NAS qui ne serait pas configuré comme “un vrai STORAGE NODE à la sauce FOG” …
Est-ce possible de configurer mon NAS la sauce FOG ? existe-il de la doc ? (je vais faire des recherches là dessus).
Le risque est de casser une configuration unicast qui tourne plutôt bien avec de bon débits.
Work in progress … After some difficulties, the install has terminated succesfully and now, i have FOGImageReplicator, FOGMulticastManager and FOGScheduler services.
And, i can see logs with the FOG interface.
Just for information :
The first time when i tried to reinstall the FOG with ./installfog.sh, i checked “Internationlization” and … as you can see on the first log, the setup failed at this step : “Checking package: language-pack-it…Failed!”.
I retried and uncheck the Internationalization and the script was complete sucessfully …
You cas see the new installlog at this url : http://pastebin.com/38BvUMgj
I reloaded a multicast deploy and have the same freeze with PXE clients … but, now, the multicast log wirte this : StorageNode Not found on this System.
[05-21-15 2:06:38 pm] | StorageNode Not found on this system.
[05-21-15 2:06:48 pm] | StorageNode Not found on this system.
[05-21-15 2:06:58 pm] | StorageNode Not found on this system.
[05-21-15 2:07:08 pm] | StorageNode Not found on this system.
[05-21-15 2:07:18 pm] | StorageNode Not found on this system.
For informations, i don’t use the default stoage node to store my FOG images but a NAS storage declared into the Storage Management interface.
This NAS work perfectly with unicast.
I think it’s a NAS problem maybe but i’m not sure.
i will try to reinstall FOG 1.2 … but, if i reinstall the FOG, my parametres will be lost ?
Hi everybody,
I’m trying to Multicast work on my FOG Server but when i boot my clients on the PXE with multicast deploy feature, computers freeze on “Starting to restore image to device” screen.
Basic informations :
FOG Version : 1.2.0
OS Version : Debian 7
uname -a : Linux fog 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 x86_64 GNU/Linux
foginstall.log : http://pastebin.com/w42B1DVs
After some research, i found a link with some tests : https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Multicasting
and some good ideas on this forum like restart the multicast service but … when i try do restart the multicast service, Debian say “unrecognized service”.
I can’t see any log into the fog interface (multicast, scheduler, replicator) and i can’t restart theses services … Debian say the same message …
ls -la /etc/init.d : http://pastebin.com/38MWDUrL
This is weird but Fog seem to have an uncomplete install … (unicast work like a charm) …
Many thank for your help.
(French user, sorry if my english is like a poop)
I found the solution … but it’s strange.
Good parameters into the printer edit section :
[CODE]Printer Alias : HP LaserJet P2015 PCL6
Printer Port IP_xx.yy.zz.xx
Printer Model : HP LaserJet P2015 PCL6
Printer Type : C:\Windows\inf\ntprint.inf
Printer IP : 1x.xx.xx.xx[/CODE]
I don’t understand why i need to put the inf path into the Printer Type field but, with this parameter, it’s seem to work …
Hey,
I’m trying to add a network printer (HP LaserJet P2015dn) for a win7 (x32) client on my FOG 1.2 server.
But, i can’t see the inf field … (like this [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Managing_FOG#Adding_New_Printers[/url]).
After some research, the 0.32 fog version has this field but not the 1.x version of FOG.
I add the printer with these informations :
[QUOTE]Printer Alias : HP LaserJet P2015 PCL6
Printer Port IP_xx.yy.zz.xx
Printer Model : HP LaserJet P2015 PCL6
Printer IP : 1x.xx.xx.xx

In the fog log client, i can see :

I can’t see any printer on the client (same resultat with a reboot of client)
I tried another way :
install the printer as a local printer on the windows 7 client
delete the printer (but keep drivers)
reboot
same problem ; same fog log, no printer on the windows 7 client.
What’s wrong ?
Partitions have good size :HDD : 80Gb
Hi.
Fog version is into the title : FOG1.2 (and into the install.log)
The OS for the server is Debian 7.
Hi.
First, basic informations :
FOG install log : [url]http://pastebin.com/uRiN9x3c[/url]
OS Client : Windows 7 PRO
Computer : Optiplex 360
I have a download issue with Windows 7 PRO / Optiplex 360.
At the start, i used a clonezilla image to restore the computer. It works like a charm.
After that, i have updated the OS, softs ect …
When the master was ready, i have try to upload it on the fog server : on the first partition, parclone say « This is not partclone image ».
I try to enable « FOG_FORMAT_FLAG_IN_GUI » and select partimage but, same problem.
After googled, i was able to delete the OEM partition with DISKPART ([url]http://jaredheinrichs.com/how-to-delete-oem-partition.html[/url]).
After that, i re-upload the image on the FOG server and try a new download task : after the restore task, the OS can’t boot : not error message, just a blink cursor.
I try to repair the mbr with different commands : (with the 7 dvd, reboot after a command)
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /rebuiltbcd
bootsect /nt 60 SYS /mbr
bootsect /nt 60 ALL
and, it’s the same problem : a blinking cursor.
I don’t want to recreate the master at 0 because i have several softs installed …
What can i do ?
Hi fre2709,
Have you resolved your issue ?
I have a similair problem with my HP8000 USDT … On twenty PCs, just 2 can boot (i)PXE correctly … Other computer model works fine)
I have checked the BIOS version, try an update BIOS, etc etc …
I’m going crazy …
