Hi Michael,

Do you have a documentation of how you deploy 8.1 via fogserver.

i followed the same procedure on my successfull windows 7 pro fog image deployment… but my windows 8 message is “Missing Operating System”, though the image is running when i started Windows 8.1 after OOBE.

Hi Guys!

Dell Latitude E6330 cannot boot pxe / fog server? any kernel for this laptop?

this solution worked for me!

Have anyone of you included Gparted for FOG server? Thanks

[I]After Sysprep I loaded Gparted: [url]http://gparted.sourceforge.net/[/url][/I]
[I]* After the PC shuts down I reboot it and load Gparted immediately.[/I]
[I]* I shrink the partition to its smallest possible size to so that the image fits on all available hard drive sizes[/I]
[I]* Once the partition is shrunk I reboot and let scandisk complete. After scandisk completes the PC reboots[/I]
[I]* Once PXE loads I register the PC and have it upload its Image to Fog[/I]

[I]When the PC reboots I have a script that runs that loads any drivers that PNPutil.exe could not handle and use diskpart.exe extendvol to expand the hard drive back to its full size. Ive also found in my experince that have the script delay the Fog service helps with it automatically joining the domain.[/I]

HI Eric, yup it was pretty neat, worked on my fog

by the way im not faimliar yet with Gparted, can you elaborate more on how to setup and configure this.

secondly, how can i create a script (or there’s available already?) or a snapin where can automatically joins to domain?

Thanks a lot! really aprreciate it

Found this solution (which is relative to what we have in office)… i will try and let you know.

no i dnt have secondt TFTP… what could be the problem?

hi,

i took 10-15minutes to got away from this prompt (see attached file) what could be the reason?

1. fogserver is a virtual machine from vpshere connected to 1gb switch port
2. fog client is a phyiscal machine connected to 1gb switch port

Though my imaging is sucessful, everything is fine except that it takes time on that mtftp connection…

Thanks

i see… so this windows i just deployed cannot be renamed at all?

and will redploy an image after disabling fog renaming…

this was a very good tutorial… thanks for the Author…

My only concern now is that even if i change the hostname, restarted the machine and after logging in back it returns to the original hostname… what to do?
