We’re running FOG 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 14.10 and have had no problems whatsoever. We get in shipments of 10-20 PC’s at a time. Our imaging process is to set up the BIOS on the new PC’s to allow us to PXE boot into the FOG server, Perform Full Host Registration and Inventory and power down. Then we image them using multicast. I usually wait until the Host Registration is done and turn off the PC while it’s restarting and before it runs Windows. I didn’t know if there was a simple code modification I could make to have the PC shutdown instead of restart after the Host Registration is done.

When setting up 10 or more PC’s at a time for multicast, it would be nice to have the option to shutdown the PC after the ‘Perform Full Inventory’ has been initiated so I can move on to the next PC without waiting to keep that PC from restarting into Windows. Is this an option in the FOG Configuration or is there code I can modify to accomplish this?

We image Optiplex 380’s, 390’s, 3010’s and 3020’s. All but the 390’s will WoL directly into PXE boot even though the hard drive is first in the CMOS boot order. I have updated to the latest BIOS (A11). Will I have to change the boot order on all of my 390’s to get to the PXE boot after WoL or is there another solution?
