@Kleber I guess the spacing of the information printed is not working as intended when the status bar is just started. I played with the stuff a bit and came up with an easy solution that would expand the text information to the whole width but restrict the green status bar to the lower part:

Would that be a feasible option? If not then some else with more status bar skill needs to look into this.

No modifications to the network or the computers. The computer is able to obtain an IP address in windows, link speed auto-negotiates to 1Gbps. I tested the network path and it had no issues, but just in case I switch to a different port. The issue still remains.

@kleber I’d recommend removing the background image via the GUI under Settings | iPXE General Config. I just removed the background image name from that field entirely. The default background prevented certain machines from being able to boot for me as UEFI. Figure its a quick enough thing to check.

Are there other machines that do boot ok with your setup or are you not able to boot any machine via iPXE?

Do the machines you have issues on have any BIOS settings specific to PXE booting (enabling it, authentication, etc)? If you you may want to check the configuration there.

Have you tried UEFI boot instead of BIOS boot, I have found sometimes the error is more descriptive in one vs the other (or even that one way has no error and the other does). I have found it especially helpful to have a camera/phone camera with high speed video recording, ie 120/240 fps and record the screen after I make my selection to catch any brief messages on screen.

It’s not a “probably” it’s a definite.

The github source code stuff is separate, but the places it uses to download the binary packages attached to release files is directly of aws s3.

Hi tom That fixed the problem, Thanks for all your help!!

@Tom-Elliott

Hi Tom,

according to the client log file it says " snapinclient module is disabled globally on the FOG Server, exiting."

I will create a new issue, and post the log file from one of the clients.

Thanks!

@Kleber Here’s a basic example that uses powershell with snapins - testing working on Win10. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8348/reset-local-windows-account-password-1-3-0

Hi,

FYI snapin client does not expand system variables, so don’t use them they don’t work:
[quote=“Jbob, post: 34657, member: 21733”]Can confirm that the snapin client does [B]not[/B] expand system variables. Adding this feature to my todo list with high priority. The reason is that the snapin client uses:

[code]p.StartInfo.FileName = strRunWith;[/code]

instead of

[code]p.StartInfo.FileName = Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables(strRunWith);[/code]

In the mean time you may just set the “Snapin Run With” to msiexec.exe, this will automatically find the file if it has been added to the system path, which windows does by default.[/quote]

cscript is in path you should call cscript msiexec and so on. without any path

To check what’s in PATH open a command prompt and type:
[CODE]echo %path%[/CODE]

That will give you (normally) a list of directorys that are in path, that means every executable file that belongs to a path directly can be run without any path to the binary:

[CODE]C:\Users\Administrator>echo %path%

When I Multicast I See that the Status Percentage makes no sense. Does anyone know how to fix this?
