@marc49ca Thanks for your input on this. Though I feel like it’s not related to the OP’s question on VMware Workstation.
The guide I was following to set it up mentioned that FOG wouldn’t capture from UEFI.
This statement is no true in general (as you post it here)! What’s mentioned in that guide is:
One more thing, make sure that Legacy Boot (not UEFI) is enabled on whatever computer you want to capture or deploy. I think FOG supports UEFI already but I haven’t looked into it yet.
This is specific to VirtualBox being used in that tutorial and not caused by FOG but simply an issue within VirtualBox that doesn’t properly PXE boot UEFI VMs. I am not exactly sure if this is still true for the latest version. I don’t think so but maybe. ESXi is not like VMware Workstation is not like VirtualBox.
After building my Win10 image (tried with 1903 and 1910) and getting the same problem I found took a different approach. Build the Windows system, sysprep it. Before booting again, change the system type from UEFI to BIOS (as we’re not booting Windows it won’t matter). Then registered the host and reboot to capture the image.
This hint on using legacy BIOS mode just for capturing might be helpful in the OP’s situation as well! Good point.
