You answered all my questions ty

I’ll come back if I have other problems laters

Thanks for your replies.

Before having the idea of the NFS sharing, my Departement Head increased the size of the disk (on esx) without powering down the machine (I was in school at that time) so now i can’t increase the partition size and i don’t know why … (as I said i’m beginner).

EDIT: Anoter forum is actualy helping me, so I will not bother you with that ^^

Hi all,
My Fog disk server is full and i don’t have access to our storage servers, either on our esxi (i’m in “sandwich course”, don’t know if it’s the right meaning ^^). So my “departement head” told me to mount a share on a basic PC, until he have time to deal.

Our users PC are still under Windows XP… And I don’t find right tutorials to use one as NFS Server.

If somebody know how to help, I’ll thank him very much !

Sorry for my English and my limited knowledge

Thanks.

Anyone have an idea ?

@Sebastian-Roth
Hi Sebastian,

Yes the FOG_CHANGE_HOSTNAME_EARLY option is active.
And I tried all, with Win xp and Win10.

I think i’m going to bring myself to use the fog client. ^^

Oh, my bad, thanks Wayne!

And i’m still stuck for hostname changing, it doesn’t work and i don’t know what to do ^^

the Hostname_early fog setting item

I don’t find it on the web interface …

(Forgive me i am a beginner in the computer networking)

@george1421

I’m using FOG 1.2.0 stable (by “fresh” I mean “new”. Sorry I still have to improve my english ).

@Tom-Elliott

As described above, i’m on 1.2.0.
80% have: 1 disk with 2 partitions

@Tom-Elliott
Nope, we used NewSID until now which was enough with xp.
I’ll try to sysprep a new image to test!

Thanks you.

Another question : is it possible to modify or delete a partition just before deployment? (But not modifying the master image).

@Tom-Elliott
Ok but it doesn’t work for me…

By default the hostname in our image is STATIONXXX, after deployment on for example: STATION001 (His name in HOST MANAGEMENT), it remains unchanged (STATIONXXX)…

@Tom-Elliott

And how to make it working?
It’s not a native function?

Thanks guys for your quick responses!

@Tom-Elliott

Does it works with windows XP?
80% of our PCs are xp.

I will say though that I’ve deployed images on hardware 6+ years old (Win7 x64 compatible) and use the FOG client. It is extremely light weight and uses little to no resources.

Our Pcs are 9+ years old on windows xp, they will soon fall into coma ahah

Hello!

i have a new install of fog at work.
And i have some questions:

-Is there a way to change the client’s hostnames without using the fog client after deployment?
-And to change the drive’s letter? (the CD/DVD always changes from F: to E:)

We have old computers with a lot of program that slow down their system, so i prefer to not use fog client.

Thanks !

! SOLVED !

I just changed the username-password:

Thanks you very much Sebastian.

@Sebastian-Roth
Hi Sebastian, i’m working on it!
Thanks for your prompt answer!

I found a folder on /images/dev named /dev/001d093262c2
With 2 .img inside (like the 2 partitions of the image)

I renamed this folder “fetexp” (it’s his name in image menu in fog),
and changed his location:

And now it works fine !!

Now, how to create an image properly? ^^
I don’t think it’s the right way to do it

Edit:

In "All images" menu, the image size on server is still 0 …

Hi everyone,

Fog 1.2.0
Debian 8.2 x64
Hosts: XP with 2 partitions on 1 disk

I’'m trying to upload an image from a client, the transfert works, but once the task is completed, it’s impossible to find the image (there is nothing on /images) and the server tells me:

By default the images are copied on /images right?

Something is wrong? I tried to search in /tmp/pigz1 , but there is nothing on /tmp …

i didn’t use special caracteres for the images et host’s names.

Please help me!

EDIT:

I can’t deploy too:

No it’s ok now, i just made a mistake.
I am very happy!
Thanks all for the help!

Hi!
I used E1000 on my VMs aaaand it works! (But still in “internal network” mode)
Unfortunately, I am faced with a new problem, i can upload an image (from a XP client), but I can’t deploy it on the same Client (for testing)

I changed type of HDD controler, nothing new…

Do you have some advices?
(I feel that I could never finish this properly ahah)

ty

Edit: The client’s system is about ~5Go but the image’s size on the server is only 1,34Go, is it normal??

@Tom-Elliott I used this to isolate my network-test from my company’s network. But i’ll try this tomorrow.
(Pardon my english )

Anyway thanks guys for your replys!
