That’s my only option? I can’t mount a Windows share in Linux and point to that?

I have set up a Fog server and made an image and want to have subsequent images reside on a spare Windows Server R2 server that has 5TB of space. How can I do this?

I have created a fog server, made a Windows 7 image and deployed it to a physical station. I now want to test that to a VM but when I try to boot to ‘Legacy Network Adapter’, all I get is "Boot failure. Reboot and select proper device’. I was hoping that the VM would PXE boot and I would select the Windows 7 image I deployed to a physical machine. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

@george1421 Here is the pcap file. Let me know when you have it so I can delete it from my end. https://www.dropbox.com/s/id6b7r5tscboni0/output.pcap?dl=0

@george1421 I am using Windows 10 and was looking for a way to work like I would on a Windows server using whatever variant of Remote Desktop would work to connect to a Linux box. Putty is good for some command line things, but I like being lazy…

@george1421 While I am doing that, is there a utility that will allow me to RDP to the fogserver (it’s a physical PC) so I don’t have to go to the server room when dealing with issues?

@george1421 pwd shows root@fogserver. I can’t find that folder via Winscp. When I go to root via Winscp I get permissions denied. Sorry for the slow reponse but not a Linux user.

@george1421 The pcap has been created, but where would the default location be and how can I easily copy it to a USB drive to post here?

@george1421 1. Yes. 2. Already disabled and 3. Just as you indicated. Also, tried PXE booting from another station. Same issue, get IP information. TFTP line immediately goes to PXE-M0F: Existing Intel Boot Agent. Selected boot device failed.

@george1421 OK, I ran the command. Get Error on server : Permission denied. connect request failed.
Yes, all stations, fog server, DHCP/DNS servers, etc. are on the same subnet.

@george1421 No, I did not. The test station is Windows 7 so the undionly.kpxe should be OK. There is no menu at all. Stations grabs IP information via PXE, TFTP line option goes by quickly and then Intel agent indicates exiting and Windows 7 boots.

@george1421 66 - 10.0.0.164 (fogserver IP) and 67 (undionly.kpxe).

@george1421 OK, those worked and I can now open the Fog console from my laptop. I still can’t get a computer to PXE boot to Fog server. TFTP now does not show timeout, goes right to Intel Agent exiting and boots windows 7.

@george1421 OK, great. Thanks for the info. I’ll be there later today and will try this.

OK, got Fog installed and can access the console on the local computer. However, when I attempt to PING or open the console from a remote station on the same subnet, I can’t do either. I am assuming it is a firewall issue on the local CentOS station. Not being familiar with Linux, I found the firewall dialog and enabled HTTP and TFTP, neither of which works. In addition, when booting a station to PXE, it gets an IP address, Subnet and gateway IP, but TFTP time out. Any thoughts please?

I am new to Linux and Fog. Setup a Fog server and set one of my Dell workstations to PXE boot. I have DHCP set on my Windows Server for 066/067 and when booting the test station, PXE obtains the correct IP information but TFTP times out. Any thoughts on how to correct this?

OK, so I went with CentOS, got that installed and installed Fog, however, when I go to the URL to complete the database initialization, I get 'Database connection unavailable. Fog was reinstalled without error but same issue. I provided a password for all requests for one and they are all the same. Not sure how to proceed.

I have no Linux experience but have installed Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.1 LTS, downloaded and extracted Fog as the user. When I try to install Fog, it starts and prompts me for the /Images location. I default and then the install stops. Not sure what to do next. I would like to get Fog installed to test as a companion to PDQ Deploy.
