Most likely these are partially (or fully captured that were unable to move) capture images hanging out in /images/dev

@irishfoguser Hi, generally speaking you’re better off using Resizable image. If this for some reason doesn’t work (fails to deploy), then trying the other options is recommended.

For your situation, it sounds like Resizable Image will do the trick. So I recommend picking an image, setting it to resizable, recapture, deploy and see if it works for you.

1.3 is able to resize the correct partition for you before Windows even boots for the first time.

To be fair, it’s been a longstanding recommendation that the FOG server should be running nothing but the FOG server for a reason.

@TomBagley Considering you have to enter tftp server address, it is likely you have another DHCP server on your network (likely your modem), which might be interfering.

Apparentally, to prevent Windows search from breaking after copying the profile over, all you have to do is delete

AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat

Windows will create one on login.

It’s /var/www/fog/service/ipxe (singular service)

I’m guessing you launch a batch script which launches a msiexec and then closes rather than waiting

Adjust accordingly.

What error are you getting?

set username foglogin
set password foglogin
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param username ${username}
param password ${password}
param qihost 1
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme

Try using that, changing the set username and set password parts to your own webgui login info

@lebrun78 You could try a different disk boot command. You can choose these globally, per group or per host I believe. Default is Sanboot if I’m not mistaken.

There’s different options because different hardware handles it differrently, annoyingly enough.

Fairly certain the problem is that Snapins run under the System account, which cannot interact with the desktop, and thus you can’t “elevate” to administrator.

You can probably script some stuff together and schedule a new capture task using the API https://news.fogproject.org/simplified-api-documentation/

@Jim-Holcomb Third option Multiple Partiton All Disks should work for your case

@Sebastian-Roth Perhaps not for the MBR issue; but certainly for the resize issue.

@Jim-Holcomb said in Error deploying an existing image to SSD drive:

The image itself is less than 60GB (39GB I believe) so not sure why single drive resizeable won’t work here?

The answer to this question is that the last partition is getting in the way. There is currently no moving of partitions done by FOG and as such that last partition is essentially preventing resizable from working together.

Move that partition to before the big windows partition, capture again and it will work as expected for sure.

@cyrmoon Sounds like you need to configure your DHCP server to handle UEFI clients.

The Wiki article you listed has a section for windows server DHCP. Give it a try.

@Sebastian-Roth I mean, this seems to be the very same problematic code (or closely related to) that has already been given us various issues, primarily low speeds, which was subsequentially partially (or fully for some disks) addressed by setting the latency kernel parameter to 0 by default.

That said, as we then discovered, in some cases it is not sufficient and we had to disable ASPM using the NVME cli utility for them to work normally. I don’t believe that was ever integrated into FOS since we don’t fully know if this could cause issues in otherwise properaly working drives.

For NVME disks specifically it’s APST, a subset of ASPM.

sudo nvme set-feature -f 0x0c -v=0 /dev/nvme0

That line should disable it (assuming disk name is nvme0)

@jmeyer It’s fixed in https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/commit/e0449fa268df2d10e3ea66cf78d4bc76da015afb dev-branch, but hasn’t been ported to working-1.6 it seems.

@Sebastian-Roth Went through it successfully. Of course this is only the scenario where root password is already set, not sure what an initial environment would do if that makes sense.

@Sebastian-Roth Setting snmysqlrootpass in .fogsettings allows it to function normally again, but that’s of course not very secure.

Line 1201 is where it trips up, if not set.

@Sebastian-Roth Not this time, no. The installer on first try after resetting root password, asked for a password, so I entered it. It accepted it, carried on sucessfully.

Then I ran the installer again (still no autoaccept) and it fails.

   NOTICE: Make sure you choose a good password but also one
   you can remember or use a password manager to store it.
   The installer won't store the given password in any place
