      can you catch the computer during boot up when the dell logo appears, and press F12 and get the computer to boot from the NIC card? if you don’t get the option to boot from the NIC card it isn’t enabled in the BIOS settings.

      I just had this same problem with some brand new Dells. There is also a deep sleep mode in some Dell BIOS that needs to be turned off. Without this disabled, the NIC card isn’t even powered on to look for WOL packets.

      Try leaving them connected to wired network until after the rename and domain join. The wireless adapter is not associated with the host record in FOG until after Windows and the FOG Client are loaded, the FOG client has told the database about the wireless mac, AND the FOG administrator has approved the pending mac record for the host.

      I solve this by leaving them connected to wired network until domain joined, and then run a custom sql script to accept all pending macs for all hosts sometime down the road.

      Yes all this is edited on the server itself, look on the main drive of the linux server, on the root directory you will see the tftpboot folder, if not, stop and re-install fog again because something wasn’t done correctly.

      in linux the root of the drive is /, it doesn’t use “drive letters”, it uses absolute postion, sda0, sda1, etc.
      so when something say /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
      / is equivalent to “C:” on windows, so look on the root drive, /, and the tftpboot folder should be located here.

      ‘My goal is to make an image for a particular brand and model of laptop that is as complete as possible (drivers and software) so I can blast it out to student laptops as quickly as possible and have as little to do after imaging as possible.’

      I’m the same , I really don’t have the time to create and run scripting , and also have little time to tweak and R&D . My FOG install runs well just as long as I don’t get off the reservation too much. I think my Dell 390’s , 9010’s and all of my laptops are requiring more TLC than I realize.
