    • RE: Can't WOL PCs

      Cheers again both.

      @Sebastian-Roth Thanks much. I ran that but got nothing from it.

      @george1421 Yes I’ve seen that, thanks. Had a look and didn’t find those WoL options, even updated the driver and still don’t see those options in the tab. Horrid thing…

      It used to work from the gui in the “regular” way too, but the previous NM also had a script arrangement yes.

      @Sebastian-Roth

      (First of hi and thanks much for popping in. It’s 8pm and I appreciate all help much <3)

      Yes it did, worked a treat, although what brought on it’s retirement was it wouldn’t take the W10 image, so I started over with a new FOG server. Had a python script on the go that’d wake the domain up if I wanted. Anyways, yes last time that was confirmed working was indeed the old W7 days. Now we have W10 I am fairly sure I can say didn’t work any longer at that point, although it was still around for a little while (both FOG servers had different IPs, just changed the DHCP options to the new one.)

      @george1421

      Okay, it did twice, and so did wakeonlan from the FOG server.

      However, it won’t do it or not do it consistently BUT I have clues…

      It seems to be when it’s allowed to boot as far as the BIOS (with keypress and actually enter the BIOS,) or into POST when it’s looking for DHCP. If I power it off there then it’ll WoL from FOG every time after that. If I let it boot into W10 though and turn it off with a momentary power button press it’ll not WoL until I remove the power cable whilst it’s off, count to 20, put the cable back in and then go into the BIOS or wait for that part in POST just once more.

      This works the same across different subnets/VLANs too, happily!

      This does also seem a LITTLE dependent on the amount of time it’s just in a “pre-Windows” state. As in, for a test, I turned on 4 machines. Two of them I just left to boot as far as the searching for a DHCP server and then turned them off, the other two I actually went into the BIOS - didn’t change anything but exited and turned them off. The “BIOS pair” would WoL but the “DHCP off” pair did not. I then went to the next two and got them to the DHCP polling bit and then paused them for thirty seconds - again not letting W10 boot - then turned them off and these two ALSO would WoL after that.

      It seems like if they spend around 40 seconds in a “non-Windows10-but-powered-on” state they then become receptive to WoL packets, but if you let Windows boot up you’ll need to power them off at the wall/pull the power cables out for 30 seconds before you can try again, and get another chance to “prime” them in this way.

      I’m sure there’s a clue in there… hope that long old story is some help! Thanks much again for sticking with me also.

      @george1421

      Hi there - yes did so. Eth0 in the example you put up for me and also eth0 in “real life” if you see on this FOG server.

      @george1421

      Thanks much for sticking with me George.

      Okay, so ran that command (on eth0 as the output of the first command gave me) but nothing seems to be captured in wol.log. Do I need to change the wording of it anywhere?

      Start that command running, sent a WOL request to a random PC, confirmation in the FOG web page, then ctrl+c out of it and see:

      0 packets received by filter
      0 packets dropped by kernel

      Cat it and it’s indeed empty.

      I’m guessing from that it’s not spitting out magic packets.

      Thanks george1421!!

      @george1421

      Old one was 1.2.0, new one is 1.5.7

      Have tried those yes, no joy.

      Most if not all aren’t on the same subnet/vlan no.

      Didn’t know that in fact! Tried pulling the power out for a test but still no, nothing will WOL.

    • RE: Can't WOL PCs

      Looked at IP helper options in my core switch (dear old HP ZL it is) and IP helpers are set to the two DHCP servers, as I’d expect.

      Very much out of ideas here. Anyone got anything I might try?

    • Can't WOL PCs

      Hello all,

      Not sure why. Replaced a very old FOG server with a newer one (new on is 1.5.7) and the old one would wake up the domain fine, but the new one just won’t do it.

      Any good places to start looking?

      Thanks everybody.

    • Creative Boot Menu Picture/Menu Situation

      Hello everyone,

      Trying to get something a little flashy to go on. Reflects something we had on an old network way back. Just want to see if this is possible (or how much hackery is required) to achieve this.

      What I’d like is, when a PC pxe boots, the background image is displayed for 5 seconds, but there is no text; the menu is hidden completely, but pressing a chosen key (eg F9) then brings up a login prompt for FOG, and therein are the menu options to capture/deploy etc.

      The primary thing I’d like though is a blank logo picture for a couple of seconds, then windows proceeds to boot. And I’d work my actual “getting in to FOG itself and menus on a client” around that situation.

      Anyone follow me on that? I’ve had an experiment but I can’t seem to get this one right beyond drawing my own logo in paint and that part working at least…

      Thanks in advance for any and all hints or musing!

    • RE: Newbie - Join Domain not Working, Post-sysprep Still Logs In as unattend.xml Setup User Acct

      Folks, thank you all so much for the advice here. And patience along with it too.

      I got this working. Luckily enough, with the last image, the golden PC/VM did see internet, but all behaved perfectly.

      Very minimal autounattend.xml manually edited to knock out a few options, FOG domain join worked super.

      Again though very big thanks for nursing me through this one. It’s all working as it should and I’m extremely happy. 🙂

      I am finally getting back to tackling this and I just wanted to thank everyone SO much for all the patient posts here and the time taken to write them.

      I’ll be looking into this over the coming weeks and I’m feeling way better about it all.

      Thanks everybody for all that. 🙂

      Thank you all so so much. Right after this emergency planning for corona virus hit and I’d been taken off it.

      That’s all wonderful, having skim-read it I’ll be in a better position to take it all apart.

      Bless you. 🙂

    • Newbie - Join Domain not Working, Post-sysprep Still Logs In as unattend.xml Setup User Acct

      Hi all - well this could be me either being unfamiliar with sysprep, with the FOG rename/join tool or a combination of some of these!

      Following @Sebastian-Roth 's help I am fairly sure I have the domain join settings sorted in FOG. Now, here comes the tricky bit I’m stuck on…

      I install W10 from disc to VM, don’t remove much of anything, don’t even set up or change the local admin password/account. I copy the following three files to the c:\windows\system32\sysprep\ folder on the client, and then I run the following little batch file first:

      @echo off
      delprof2 /q /id:setupuser /i
      NET USER setupuser /DELETE
      powercfg -h off
      rem C:\Support\Tools\Shutup\OOSU10.exe ooshutup10.cfg /quiet
      del /F c:\windows\system32\sysprep\panther\setupact.log
      del /F c:\windows\system32\sysprep\panther\setuperr.log
      del /F c:\windows\system32\sysprep\panther\ie\setupact.log
      del /F c:\windows\system32\sysprep\panther\ie\setuperr.log
      del /F "C:\Program Files (x86)\FOG\fog.log"
      del /F "C:\Program Files (x86)\FOG\token.dat"
      rem "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox Guest Additions\uninst.exe"
      copy SetupComplete.cmd C:\Windows\Setup\scripts\ /Y
      copy unattend.xml C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep /Y
      reg import C:\Support\Tools\ResetERAgentUUID.reg
      net stop FOGService
      sc config FOGService start= disabled
      sc config EraAgentSvc start= disabled
      cleanmgr /sagerun:1
      defrag c:
      c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /shutdown /unattend:c:\windows\system32\sysprep\unattend.xml
      

      As you can probably see this deletes a setup user (I don’t follow quite why the tutorial I followed puts this step in as the unattend.xml to follow recreates them. This might well be my problem even but idk.)

      So, unattend.xml looks like:

      …Which to my mind, is what should happen, then ideally upon a restart that setupuser acct should have something that deletes it. I’d think. Either after the domain join or before/during. No sweat if that account has to stay as I can bin it with Group Policy after imaging, if there’s not cleverer way to go about it ofc.

      So then, the ideal solution of course is to be able to image a PC, have it restart and rename itself and then sit where it should/previously did in AD (OR move it to an OU of my choosing, for a sort of just-imaged pool of machines.)

      Is that enough to go on? As you can probably tell I’m just finding my feet. Thanks so so much in advance for any patient help!

    • RE: FOG 1.5.7 - Join W10 Clients to Domain?

      @Sebastian-Roth Thank you for all that.

      I’m playing with it and got it nearly there by unt-ticking/re-ticking the AD join options in the individual host’s entry, then all my defaults populated nicely. Now have enough to go about tweaking with fog.log as you mention.

      Thanks again!

    • RE: FOG 1.5.7 - Join W10 Clients to Domain?

      @Sebastian-Roth

      Hi - thanks and sorry meant to paste a link there and didn’t. Guide was: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Active_Directory_-_FOG_Setting#Join_Domain_after_image_task

      Coming unstuck pretty early on tbh, and not just on the initial point either. Instructions say for example to start with “Web UI: Other Information -> FOG Settings” where the actual UI options are “Fog Configuration > FOG Settings > FOG Client - Hostname Changer” - I think! I can’t be sure.

      Is there any other guide or walkthrough for the process?

      Thanks all.

    • FOG 1.5.7 - Join W10 Clients to Domain?

      Hi all - trying to get this working referencing the guide, but what I’m reading there doesn’t seem to correspond to what I’m seeing on the screen in the FOG Web UI.

      Is there a definitive walkthrough for the process? With, like, crayons?

      Thanks everyone.

    • Hyper-V or Oracle VirtualBox - Can't PXE Boot/Upload Image to FOG

      Hello all, I’m sure this is just me but it’s been beating me up for a couple of days. I cannot FOR THE LIFE OF ME get either Hyper-V VMs or Oracle VirtualBox VMs to upload an image to FOG. Hyper-V just won’t PXE boot at all into FOG, VirtualBox I get a bit further and can get to a FOG page and register a client, but when setting the machine to draw and image up to the FOG server it doesn’t want to PXE boot, gives an odd DHCP message.

      Anyone got either of the above working?

      Thanks much for any and all hand-holding! 🙂
