      Windows 10 UEFI and Fast Startup

      We noticed the same thing, looks like in the “specialize” phase Windows setup adds itself as the first entry. I didn’t see any option in the unattend.xml file to disable or alter this, and we didn’t want to use a Dell utility since we have other hardware, so we put this in the custom script we have running at the end of the “specialize” phase:

      bcdedit /set {fwbootmgr} displayorder {bootmgr} /addlast

      This moves the active Windows boot manager (which was just added and is referenced by {bootmgr}) to the end of the list. The {fwbootmgr} apparently references the system UEFI firmware. If you have more boot options you want in a specific order, you might be better off trying to move the PXE boot option to the top. Also, since you mentioned Bitlocker, I’ve seen posts indicating that you need to have the Windows Boot Manager first if you’re using Bitlocker, so you might not be able to do this anyway.

      Since Windows setup will just keep adding more boot managers to the UEFI list every time you image (when it goes through setup), we also added this block to our script to remove old entries:

      for /F "tokens=2 delims={}" %%i in ('bcdedit.exe /enum {fwbootmgr}') do ( if "%%i" NEQ "fwbootmgr" ( if "%%i" NEQ "bootmgr" ( echo Checking %%i for old Windows boot manager... bcdedit.exe /enum {%%i} | find /C "Windows Boot Manager" >nul if errorlevel 1 ( echo Not old Windows UEFI boot manager. bcdedit.exe /enum {%%i} | find "description" ) else ( echo Found Windows UEFI boot manager from previous installation, removing... bcdedit.exe /enum {%%i} bcdedit.exe /delete {%%i} ) ) ) )

      This will enumerate the UEFI boot list for Windows boot managers excluding the active one, and remove them, so you don’t keep adding an entry every time you image the computer. I would recommend testing this first if you’re going to use it, I have only tested it a couple times 🙂

      Is there a way to reduce how often the fog node’s are checking back into the master server’s mysql?

      @Malos I must have been really under the weather when I escalated to the devs.

      I actually know the answer. Currently the way replication works due to a bug in lftp concerning only replacing changed bits (remember that one @tom-elliott? ), If a change or difference is detected between the source file and destination file, the destination file is deleted and the copy is re-started.

      @Tom-Elliott Confirmed, tasks are pulling down the boot files and image data from the correct node consistently, and updating nodes pulls from the newly set node as well. Awesome work, thanks!

      @Malos said in SVN 4380 Cloud 5419 (on Ubuntu 14.04.3) - Fog Client (404) Not Found.:

      Here’s the fix, just needs to be run once install.sh has finished completely:

      Make a symbolic link at /var/www/html for fog, and point it at /var/www/fog

      ln -s /var/www/fog /var/www/html/fog

      Ta-da, no more 404s!

      Thankyou!!!

      SVN 4334 Cloud 5315 Cannot install or use location plugin

      May or may not be relevant, we noticed as of a few revisions ago that imaging things based on location would try to pull the image from the wrong location. Uninstalling the plugin sort of worked, but left behind the Location column in the hosts view which listed them all as a location variable. Trying to re-install it gave similar results as trying to install it on a fresh install. (failed oddly)

      I can’t be more specific on what SVN this started with, sorry. We jumped up 2-300 on the Cloud counter last week, and I’ve pulled down SVN more than once in the last few days as commits have been made (i watch the activity log like a hawk). I apologize for my lack of concrete data to report here.

      I think that’s a good idea.
