I just moved my FOG server from a physical box to a virtual one. Images seem to deploy fine, however snapins are not deploying. Any ideas?

Thanks. We will work through this and come up with a solution!

I had not seen that screen before! All boxes were checked, but I will work with various configurations over the next few days and see if any of those make a difference. Thanks

This makes no sense, but I promise that this is the pattern. I have had all of my computers scheduled to WOL daily at 7:00 AM. I have about 40 that we have upgraded to Windows 7. That is the only change. Once they are upgraded to Win7, they no longer Wake up. XP machines still wake up, but win 7 do not. I see no way that the OS could affect this, because the WOL is at the BIOS level. Any suggestions?

I have been using FOG for about three years and love it. Our school has grown to a point that I have had to separate into different ip ranges (192.168.1.xxx and 192.168.50.xxx). The FOG server is in the 192.168.1.xxx range. Machines in the 192.168.1 range will wake on LAN. Another building has computers 192.168.50.xxx these computers will not.

I also use spiceworks to manage my help desk and inventory. It has a WOL feature and it does work in both ip ranges. (I can only wake one machine at a time.)

Any suggestion on what could be causing the Fog to not work.

Tftp was not running, I started and get the same results. Apache failed on start, so I am install updates at this time. Should I upgrade to 12.04 of ubuntu

It is Ubuntu 10.04 I think Would that have an affect on being abble to access it remotely using VNC also?

Yesterday we had a power outage and our servers did not get shut down properly. Everything appears to have come back up properly, however I can no longer access FOG via the GUI interface from workstations or even at the fog server itself. When I physically go to the machine, the machine is up and operational however the gui interface is not accessible as stated earlier. I can ping the ip address from windows machines, however I am unable to access the machine remotely. I am not very proficient in Linux, but I am assuming that a service has not gotten started properly. I have rebooted the machine and gotten the same results. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your attempts to help. When the driverpacks script runs, it issues a message box that says No Files to Extract. I click ok, it seems to begin extracting and run fine after that. Any idea why that might occur?

I did not have the Network card driver for that machine, The wireless card, and several others. The network card is the most pressing, because obviously Windows can not access the internet without that.

Followed step 8 exactly. When the machine reboots, It has many unknown devices such as video card, NIc (both wired and wireless), Card reader, and others. I have since found those drivers. Is there a way to inject those drivers into the script in step 8?

I have gotten my image to deploy to a virtual machine. When the DP_Install tool begins extracting, it stops and prompts me with a message box No files to Extract. I click ok and it begins extracting fine.

Also, how do I add drivers? I have an HP Elitebook 8560 with several devices that did not have drivers installed. I have the drivers downloaded from HP, but I am not sure how to inject them into the base image

I have built my image. I got all updates to the OS and installed Microsoft Office, Adober Reader, FLash, Java and a few others similare programs. (Note I had an error in my unattend file, so I recreated it after installing everything and then copied it over to the proper location) I then captured it to FOG. I then deployed it back to the VM. When it boots, I am asked to accept the license terms of Win 7 Pro Service Pack 1. If I accept, I am then prompted to choose how to deploy updates. I choose recommended settings. It then proceeds to finalizing settings (which is still running after 30 minutes) Any ideas on what I have done wrong?

I am using Oracle VM virtualbox Manger v 4.1.16 Everytime a create a new VM, it creates a sata drive. If I delete that one, change to a ide, then it will not boot. I get back to the same screen as before. How do I create a drive with a ide drive from the beginning? Am I missing something?

Thanks. I will do that. After I change the type to IDE, will I need to rebuild the whole machine?

[quote=“falko, post: 3945, member: 48”]your virtual machine hard drives are set to IDE?[/quote]
They were not. I added an IdE Hard Disk and choose the existing disk attached to this machine. I then deleted the existing disk under the sata controller. I restarted and got the same error. SHould I reimage or do I have to change the disk on the original VM that I created the image from and recreate the image?

I have followed this through step by step on a virtual machine. I have made the image and captured the image in fog. I then setup a different VM and registered it in FOG. I deployed the image to the new machine. When the machine boots after the image is copied I get a Windows Boot Manager error.

[QUOTE]Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem

1. Insert your windows installation disc a restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings and then click “Next”.
3. CLick “Repair your computer”.

If you do not have the disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance
