      [quote=“shadowfax, post: 38870, member: 26386”]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.[/quote]

      So you’re shutting down because there’s no way to multicast directly from the Full Registration? I could see that being a helpful feature, especially when new devices are added in bulk. Tom, after it asks if you want to image now, maybe there could be a way to choose unicast or multicast? Just a thought

      There is likely a seperate option in the BIOS for “PXE Boot after WOL”. I’ve seen it on a few of my machines but not all of them have it. If the option doesn’t exist then you are going to have to change the boot order.
