Thank you everyone for your help. I had networking team move to same vlan and it worked fine. Then i had them move to seperate vlan and use wireshark. I found out we had sccm pxe setup. This was done long time ago. No one removed the forwards on the router.

Now we have it working once we removed the entries.

i have resolved this issue. I am not sure but when i was looking into ubuntu it did not update the images correctly. I moved them again and this time it was working correctly

i used FTP software , filezilla , to see the files where not on the ubuntu server but the gui was saying it was there .

I have a fog server that is on a desktop and works great. I been trying to get it to work from a VM that way I have less issues when i upgrade.

I have the fog server working the the VM and able to get to the pxe menu. When i go to deploy image it states unable to locate image store. I have no hosts on this machine at all. I am going to call this FOG VM.

The Fog Desktop i went in and copied the images from image folder and move them to FOG VM and uploaded the file that i exported from the GUI .

i can boot up to the pxe menu and it connects to the FOG VM pxe menu. When i deploy the image i get the error unable to locate image store. I did look at the other messages on screen and it is pointing to the correct folder and ip address of the FOG VM server.

I am not sure where to check next. If it gets the pxe menu then the FOG VM is working.

the only difference between FOG VM and fog desktop is

FOG VM - on dev branch version
fog desktop - on master branch

well i finally solved the issue. I switched to the dev-branch version. Then i install fog again with same exact settings. It complained about not having an ip address. I run service isc-dhcp-server status and it showed it was working.

this time in the dev branch i browsed to the dhcp folder and found it created the dhcp server file this time from fog.

i set my vm to bridge and then booted my other computer and it worked.

if i want a VM to connect I have to change my VM to Nat and not bridged.

i finally found the issue but not sure how to fix it. I ran the setup again in the vm and finally go the error setting up and starting dhcp server - no router address found - no dns address found.

I am not sure how to fix that. i know the last install i did i never had to put in an ip address for the router since i used the built in

i am wondering how do i check if dhcp is running. i did say in the install I wanted the fog server to handle dhcp. I want to make sure that service is running

@sebastian-roth it is a private network. I have a dummy switch that it goes through. I shut off my wireless card when i try to image. It is the same as my other fog server but it is on a pc.

i thought i would put it in a VM and then just shut off my wireless when i am ready to image .

Firewall is off. I double checked it to be sure.

i checked on the host …windows 10 and then in ubuntu. Firewall is off. I will be putting this on a stand alone computer with just a dummy switch.

I have the latest VM workstation 16 and i have loaded ubuntu 20 tls with fog server. The VM has a network card that is 192.168.1.40. I have it bridged to the network. I do have wireless also on to my network.

how do i take a client and boot and reach the fog server in the VM ?

i boot and it never gets to the dhcp server.

i can not ping the workstation from outside the VM. i am using the host computer where vm workstation is installed and can not ping the fog server - .40

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. This is the first time i have tried to run a fog server in a VM and try to image that way .

@scott-b yes it is . Windows 20h2 . I finally got it resolved by the moderator. I had to go into my image and delete the recovery drive. Then it acted correctly.

Just wanted to put that out there if someone else had the same issue

i have hp probook 400 that it images fine but the hard drive does not expand. I am running uefi . This has worked fine on other computers. what information do you need from me ?

It just shows the other space as unallocated

i did have to update to newest kernal for me to image the computer because of the network driver.

i am not sure why i can not upload a 1.7 mb jpg. I tried as a picture and as a file.

it just shows the

healthy partition
C drive boot partition
recovery partition
and a forth one that is unallocated 178 gigs

the hard drive in the computer is

wdc pc sn730 sdbpnty-256g-1006

nvme drive

well i could not get it working so i took another stand alone server that i had and use true image to get a copy of the computer. I restored it on a computer and get the error no dhcp or proxy dhcp offers were received.

what can i do ?
