You can point computers to different kernels. In the general tab of the host properties add the Kernel location in ‘Host Kernel:’ for example:- Host Kernel: fog/kernel/backup/bzimage2012
This will solve the problem while you find a kernel that will work on both sets of computers.

RE: FOG working alongside mac
Like kevin mentioned. If your IP phones are on a seperate VLAN they can point to different boot server than the PCs because they would be on a seperate DHCP scope…

RE: FOG working alongside mac
There is no reason why this would conflict. The PC’s are using pxe and the mac’s are using neboot and both can share the same windows DHCP server. We have a setup of both Deploystudio and FOG. If you are using cisco network equipment you may need to add an IP Helper address for netboot server and enter details for options 66 & 67 on your windows DHCP server for FOG.
I think I replied to your other thread, you have asked this question in 2 places.

RE: Fog/sysprep stops at computer name screen
Make sure you have a computer name in the xml file. Doesn’t matter what you use as fog will rename it later. My guess is that you have left this blank.
[CODE]<ComputerName>FOG-TEMP</ComputerName>[/CODE]

RE: DeployStudios, FOG, and Server 2008 DHCP
I recommend you continue using DeployStudio for the macs and FOG for Windows/Linux. Also continue using your existing Microsoft DHCP sever, you need to setup options 66 & 67 on DHCP server for FOG.

RE: Need Help Pleas??
I dont quite understand what you mean. You don’t need access to the web console to restore an image. You can generate a restore task individually on each computer by using the pxe menu option quick image. I recommend you use the product deepfreeze to keep your images clean on each boot.

RE: Need Help Pleas??
Fog backups each partition to a seperate file, just delete the other partition files on storage node after upload. If it can’t find them it can’t restore them.

RE: Just starting would like to know if it suits me?
You will not be able to mount the image and restore individual files.

RE: Extra admin account casuing issues
You can stop it creating the extra admin account by tricking it to create an administrator account called Administrator which it can’t do as it already exist by default. For example:-
<UserAccounts> <AdministratorPassword> <Value>Password</Value> <PlainText>true</PlainText> </AdministratorPassword> <LocalAccounts> <LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Password> <Value>Password</Value> <PlainText>true</PlainText> </Password> <Description>Local Administrator</Description> <DisplayName>Administrator</DisplayName> <Group>Administrators</Group> <Name>Administrator</Name> </LocalAccount> </LocalAccounts> </UserAccounts>

RE: Multicast session flooding vlan
If you are using cisco switches see [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Cisco_Multi_Cast[/url] for sample config

RE: Client can't find the pxelinux.0 file debian squeeze ddwrt dhcp server
Check that the pxelinux.0 file exists on the server, its stored in /tftpboot and logon to the webconsole and check the tftp server section in fog settings.

RE: Fog crashing during image deployment
Try upgrading the kernel. This can be done easily from fog settings in web console.

RE: WIndows DHCP Server Settings 66/67 already in use
As Kirksec said your IP phones should ideally be on a different VLAN. If you’re just testing FOG on a couple of computers, you could create dhcp reservations for these hosts and point there options 66&67 to another server.

RE: Is FOG for us?
Matt,
You won’t be the first educational establishment using this product, there are hundreds using it. We are a large University in the UK and have been using FOG for about 3 years to deploy Windows XP/7 to a large mixture of hardware (roughly 3500 computers). We have our main fog server (web,database,pxe server) on the central site and several storage nodes on remote sites. The storage nodes keep the bulk of the traffic at remote sites. Large corporations are also using FOG, I was at Cisco’s head office in a UK a few months ago and noticed that they were using FOG to deploy operating systems in their training labs.
I can remember people having some issues with using FOG on some dell computers in the past. My advice to you would be to setup a server, and test the product on your computers, if it works, make the switch. Why waste money on Ghost.

RE: Resizing partition with Windows 7 image
You could use the script file c:\windows\setup\scripts\setupcomplete.cmd to call the windows diskpart.exe utility to extend the volume.
