    • RE: problem after deployment with release 1.5.10

      Hello,
      I’m working with CedricoR,
      We don’t have probrem with windows host working with uefi.
      On Ubuntu host, system crash booting refind after pxe. If we choose EXIT in FOG host conf, we have to choose manually booting from harddrive. Then Ubuntu works

      Hello and thank you for your very useful job ! 👍

      The installation instructions in https://news.fogproject.org/fog-1-5-10-officially-released/ link seams not good.
      The link drives me to installer archive

    • RE: powershell snapin no output, non error

      @JJ-Fullmer
      No log film created.
      Task created as you proposed require administrator login to be executed. That is not the purpose of the snapin.
      But I have no idea how to work around the problem 🤕

      @Tom-Elliott
      Do you have any idea how to keep pxe boot with eufi Windows ?

      If I have to get up from my chair every time I have to deploy, that’s no big deal. 😌

      @Tom-Elliott
      Yes Tom, I agree,
      That’s why JJ-Fullmer create a task executed as user administrator to modify the boot order.
      I have a powershell problem, to how to create a task trigger at the creation of the task

      @JJ-Fullmer
      Thank you for your work, this script runs with snapin but does not do the expected job, the pxe is not ranked àat the good place :

    • RE: powershell snapin no output, non error

      @JJ-Fullmer
      I tried command line step by step with psexec, it works
      I tried command line step by step with your modified script, it works
      I tried snapin with

      Snapin Command read-only:
      
      C:\windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass -NoProfile -File boot-uefi-pxe_win.ps1
      

      and with boot-uefi-pxe_win.ps1

      $bcdedit = "C:\windows\System32\bcdedit.exe"
      $firmware = & {start-process -filepath $bcdedit -args "/enum firmware" -Wait -RedirectStandardOutput output.txt ; get-content output.txt; remove-item output.txt}
      $fullLine = (($firmware | Select-String "IPV4" -Context 1 ).context.precontext)[0]
      $GUID = '{' + $FullLine.split('{')[1]
      $result = & {start-process $bcdedit -args "/set `"{fwbootmgr}`" displayorder $GUID /addfirst" -Wait -RedirectStandardOutput output.txt ; get-content output.txt; remove-item output.txt}
      
      # $firmware = $(bcdedit /enum firmware)
      # $fullLine = (($firmware | Select-String "IPV4" -Context 1 ).context.precontext)[0]
      # $GUID = '{' + $FullLine.split('{')[1]
      # $result = $(cmd /c bcdedit /set "{fwbootmgr}" displayorder $GUID /addfirst)
      $dateheure = (date).ToString() 
      if (!(Test-Path 'C:\temp')) { mkdir 'C:\temp' }
      #log everything in a new C:\temp\firmware.txt file
      New-Item -path C:\temp\firmware.txt -itemType File -value "Firmware: $($firmware | out-string)`n`nFullLine: $fullLine`nGUID: $GUID`nresult: $result`ndate: $dateheure`n" -force
      

      And the result is allways 😢

      Get-Content C:\temp\firmware.txt
      Firmware: 
      
      FullLine: 
      GUID: 
      result:

      @JJ-Fullmer
      Running your script step by step works, I don’t understand why it doesn’t work by snapin.
      Is it possible to test a script by the system account used by fog service?

      @JJ-Fullmer
      Thank you for your proposition
      I now have the file with the title of each item, but the values are empty I modified by adding the date, just to have a trace

      $firmware = (bcdedit /enum firmware)
      $fullLine = (($firmware | Select-String "IPV4" -Context 1 ).context.precontext)[0]
      $GUID = '{'bcdedit /set "{fwbootmgr}" displayorder $GUID /addfirst)

      I get

      FullLine:
      GUID:
      result:
      date: 03/04/2023 09:35:36

    • RE: Windows delete pxe boot after deploy

      I found on this forum a solution:
      This powershel script works to set boot on pxe :

      This PowerShell script moves the first non windows entry to the top of the list.
      
      # This script looks for the first non-Windows Boot Manager entry in the UEFI/GPT boot order and moves it to the top
      # For preventing newly installed Windows from hijacking the top boot order spot on my UEFI/GPT image testing VMs
      # by mmseng
      # https://github.com/mmseng/bcdedit-revert-uefi-gpt-boot-order
      
      # Notes:
      # - There's very little point in using this on regular production machines being deployed. Its main use is for machines being repeatedly imaged, or might be useful for lab machines.
      # - AFAICT bcdedit provideds no way to pull the friendly names of the devices in the overall UEFI boot order list. Therefore, this script only moves the first entry it identifies in the list which is NOT "{bootmgr}" (a.k.a. "Windows Boot Manager"). It's up to the user to make sure the boot order will exist in a state where the desired result is achieved.
      # - In my case, my test UEFI VMs initially have the boot order of 1) "EFI Network", 2) whatever else. When Windows is installed with GPT partitioning, it changes the boot order to 1) "Windows Boot Manager", 2) "EFI Network", 3) whatever else. In that state, this script can be used to change the boot order to 1) "EFI Network", 2) "Windows Boot Manager", 3) whatever else.
      # - This functionality relies on the completely undocumented feature of bcdedit to modify the "{fwbootmgr}" GPT entry, which contains the overall list of UEFI boot devices.
      # - AFAICT bcdedit is really only designed to edit Windows' own "{bootmgr}" entry which represents one of the "boot devices" in the overall UEFI list.

    • Windows delete pxe boot after deploy

      Hello,
      In UEFI, Windows clears the PXE entry from the BIOS settings after a deployment.
      What method do you use to keep PXE in UEFI boot options?

      Hello,

      I have a problem with the process /opt/fog-service/FOGUserService.exe launched by mono on an Ubuntu20.

      The process still exists after the user logs off.
      As a result, the user’s samba mount still exists and this causes issues when the user try a new session.
      How is this process launched ?
      Do you have any idea why it does not close.
      The problem didn’t exist when we used an nfs mount instead of a samba mount.
