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.

@AlexPDX Rule of thumb is to create a new thread, since the OP in this case was using a very old version, and you are likely using FOG 1.5.8

That said, quick fix is:

sed -i 's#/usr/bin/php env #/usr/bin/env php #g' /usr/lib/systemd/system/FOGSnapinReplicator.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start FOGSnapinReplicator

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

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.

@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.

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

Adjust accordingly.

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

@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.

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

You might be interested in post download scripts for this. Will accomplish basically the same thing, but in a more universal manner.

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.

Removing the -B128 option seems to allow it to capture, finally!

64 bit init.xz Buildroot 2019.02.4 + ZSTD 1.4.2 + Partclone 0.3.12 (with APFS support)

32 bit init.xz Buildroot 2019.02.4 + ZSTD 1.4.2 + Partclone 0.3.12 (with APFS support)

Give it a whirl if you’re interested.

Current status:

• Specifying the -B128 option gives issues in certain scenarios (special partitions/raw/very small ones???), so we can’t reliably use that.

• In order to use --rsyncable, zstd had to be updated to a minimum of 1.3.8 (chosen the latest version of 1.4.2 to include performance improvements and bug fixes)

• Minor Buildroot update means config doesn’t have to be updated, it’s just bugfixes

• Added APFS support so that we can offer some better support for newer Macs (if they decide to PXE boot that is) (potentially gptfdisk package should be updated to 1.0.4 (adds typecodes for APFS and others), haven’t tested anything in this direction!)

@Wayne-Workman Hell, whenever I try to upgrade Ubuntu even Ubuntu gets messed up and I need to spend time to fix it.

Of course, FOG has versioned releases

Eg command

git checkout tags/1.5.3

Try updating to RC11.

Unable to mount file system likely indicates a problem with your file system though. So check your linux and windows partitions with the relevant tools.

@lebrun78 I suggest doing

set username toto
set password toto
params
param username ${username}
param password ${password}

Key points: Set username and password before param tries to use them. Initialize params (you seem to have forgotten that )

@george1421 Can confirm, had to switch to ProxyDHCP after the ISP upgraded the modem that has a buggy DHCP implementation (turning off DHCP makes it not give out IPs but the DHCP server is still running so it just NACKs all the IPs lol)

I can do Dutch if you like.

@ManofValor This is detailed on the wiki, it’s because of the browser auto fill feature. Turn it off for fog website.
