@george1421 Thank you so much for all the infos! I will give it a try, this might save me many many hours

@george1421 Second case. The reimage should be happening only when I decide so

@george1421 Thanks for your reply!

I’m not sure that what I need to do could be achieved via net booting. At the moment each one of our render nodes has its own disk with windows and the software it needs on it (Essentially I’ve set up 5 of them manually so that the artists can start sending them the render jobs through Deadline.)

My idea was to use FOG to skip the manual setup of the OS & software on each node, and then just use the other systems in our infrastructure to control them.

If i sound confused it’s because I’m just the IT intern here and I have no supervisor to refer to hahah, sorry!

Hello!

I’ve just finished setting up my FOG server, but I’ve realised that I don’t really know how to proceed.

My situation is the following: I have to set up around 100 render nodes with the same hardware, which will be running windows 10 and a package of software. I have one of those nodes set up manually (From which I can grab the image?) and I’d like to make the process as unattended as possible. Ideally, I’d plug all the nodes in the network, turn them on and they’d grab the image from the FOG server and install it without any input from my side.

Can anyone help me with links to guides/resources to make it possible?

Thanks in advance for any kind of input on this!
