Ah ok I understand now - brilliant this has resolved the issue I wasn’t aware that specifying the default OU would have a knock on effect.

Thanks again for your help

Chad is on the right track I really seem to be slacking lately, normally I am the first one to recommend the DNSMasq, I have to use it here in my novell network because we use Netware 6.5 and it has a limited number of characters that can be supplied for the boot file name. DNSMasq allows me to circumvent the system and provide the correct boot file.

You can use this guide here [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server#DNSMASQ_settings_for_iPXE[/url]

It will aid you in setting up DNSMasq, and of course if you have problems just come back and let us know.

[quote=“scottmcmullan8, post: 33863, member: 24964”]Another update - it appears when the machines that aren’t working are trying to PXE boot they are using Intel Boot Agent Version 1.3.24 however the machines that are working are using a Intel PXE boot agent?[/quote]

Look for Bios Updates/Firmware updates for the machines and see if that has any affect.

Working great now after moving to the Trunk. I was pleasantly surprised with how well the upgrade process worked. All I had to do after the update was reconfigure some of my settings for dnsmasq and then I was up and running.

Thank you for your help @Wayne-Workman !

I’ve now added the ability to add “individual” password login settings to menu items
My current menu that is tested and working, although very minimal, is:
[code]isset ${userID} && goto do_me || goto MENU
:do_me
kernel bzImage root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 ip=dhcp dns=10.10.10.1 web=10.10.10.118/fog/ consoleblank=0 loglevel=4 type=down img=win7actsysprep ftp=10.10.10.118 imgType=n osid=7 storage=10.10.10.118:/images capone=1 imgFormat=0
imgfetch init.xz && boot || goto MENU
:MENU
menu
item --gap Please Select one of the images below
item fog.local Boot from hard disk
item d101_64 D101 Base Image (64 bit load)
item return Return to main menu
choose --default fog.local target && goto ${target}
:fog.local
sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80 || goto MENU
:d101_64
chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/advanced.php?login=1 || goto MENU
:return
chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} || goto MENU
autoboot[/code]

Notice the :d101_64 how it has the [B]chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/advanced.php?login=1 || goto MENU[/B] ?That’s all that’s needed to have a “login” for your menu item. Notice the top where it says :do_me? This is important to note that it’s ABOVE the menu generation part of the advanced menu setup.

As I stated, this is very basic, but a method to :sort: the different functions could be:
[code]isset ${userID} && iseq ${bootnum} 1 && goto do_me ||
isset ${userID} && iseq ${butnum} 2 && goto do_me2 ||
goto MENU
:do_me
kernel bzImage root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 ip=dhcp dns=10.10.10.1 web=10.10.10.118/fog/ consoleblank=0 loglevel=4 type=down img=win7actsysprep ftp=10.10.10.118 imgType=n osid=7 storage=10.10.10.118:/images capone=1 imgFormat=0
