@george1421 When you say “name target #2”, the name I give it there is used within FOG only right? When I boot into windows and rename it they are seperate

@george1421 Thanks so much, you’ve been very helpful! I’ve been using Acronis and a windows 7 VM to keep an up to date image and then storing it onto a NAS so I’ve been looking for alternative way to image and this looks promising. Just a bit of a learning curve like anything else

Now that I have the image uploaded, can I simply boot any PC that I want to pull that image via PXE and select it or do I need to deploy it from the management console?

Thanks George, that was the answer!!!

Thanks George, that could have been the problem. There was no host image selected from the drop down menu. Once I have that selected all I need to do is PXE boot the PC that I want to capture and it will automatically pull the image?

Sure, sorry for the delay I had to leave for the day. I’ll be back at 8AM tomorrow and I’ll upload that.

If I want to upload my first image from the client to the fog server don’t I click upload here?

It’s 1.2.0

1.2.0 stable.

The wiki steps are to register the client, create an image object, then create the upload task. The upload task is where it’s giving that error.

I haven’t uploaded yet, I am trying to…

No I’m trying to upload (Capture) the first image, not deploy. I was following the steps on the wiki. After registering the client the next steps were to create the host on the mgmt page, step 2 was to create the image, and step 3 was to create an upload task that links to the host but immediately after I click the Upload arrow next to my host is when I get the error under task management :

Failed to create deploy task

Image is not valid

Just made a new FOG server 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 from scratch and I was attempting to upload my first image. So far I’ve registered the Host and created an image but when I choose the Host under “task management” and clicked upload I get the following error. Any idea why that’s happening?

"Failed to create deploy task

Image is not valid"

I copied and pasted it but thanks for the heads up

Well turns out we have no volume license so MDT is not a solution. Going to spin up and Ubuntu 16.06 VM and attempt to setup FOG from scratch.

Thanks George

Yea I can see the newest version is 1.20 so it’s way out of date already. Not really too familiar with Linx and I’m stuck with no GUI so I guess I would need to build a new Ubuntu VM and start fresh. May wind up using MDT and sccm instead lol.

I did, it’s version .27 via this link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/FOG_VM/fog_vm_0.27/FOGVM_0.27.zip/download

Is that old?

I have FOG setup and almost running in my Vmware environment and I need to set options 66 and 67 on my Windows DHCP server. for 66, does it want the hostname or IP of my FOG appliance and if it’s the hostname how can I find that? I imported the VMX file into my ESXI server and when I went through the setup it didn’t ask for a hostname.

For 67, I simply put “undionly.kpexe”?

Yea I don’t want to make any adjustments to the phone system here as that’s priority #1. I wouldn’t feel comfortable putting the file the phones need onto he FOG server as I’m not too familiar with Linux and troubleshooting that would be near impossible. I don’t think the phone vendor would even let me do that.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

Tom, I do believe the phones need to check for something while booting but not sure exactly what.
