Is it possible to customize the information reported on the hardware inventory feature? I’ve been utilizing Fog 0.32 for the past 4 years, and haven’t yet migrated to 1.x. I’ve used this feature on a limited basis, and now would like to capture a slew of relevant information on the computers I’m imaging. I noticed I can capture the processor, memory, and hard drive serial number but would like to capture additional information such as the hard drive capacity, wireless LAN, Bluetooth, etc.

I appreciate the response, Jaymes. While the commands within the guide did not work for me I was able to resolve my issue by disabling trunking on the port as well. Granted it takes a few more seconds to connect than the Netgear, but it works no less.

The switch continues to work with older devices such as the Dell Latitude D600, D610, D620 and D630 but does not work with the HP EliteBook 8440p. When I replace the switch with the Netgear switch the EliteBook 8440p connects flawlessly, and instantly. I verified that Port-Fast was enabled on the Cisco, but it’s not making any difference; could it be an issue that the Cisco is 10/100 and the Netgear is Gigabit?

I’ve been using FOG 0.32 for the past two years, and it’s a great piece of software. Recently I’ve run into issues with certain machines failing to connect to the server or PXE boot, and[SIZE=2] providing the PXE-E51 “No DHCP or DHCP Proxy Offers received” error. I’ve [/SIZE]referred[SIZE=2] to both the thread on the forums /SIZE as well as additional research in an attempt to resolve it, and have failed to do so. I do recognize this as an issue with my network and hardware rather than FOG itself.

I’m currently running a Cisco Catalyst C2980G-A managed switch; in an attempt to fix this issue I’ve reset the device to the factory default, enabled Port-Fast on my specified test port, verified that Port-Fast is enabled, and then connected the machine. Watching the terminal I see that the computer connects to the switch, but there is still a delay in the connection, and it then fails to boot to PXE. When I replace the Cisco unit with a Netgear ProSafe GS108 unmanaged switch the machine connects to the server and PXE boots instantly.

Can anyone make any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong? Would switch speed have anything to do with it (Cisco is 10/100 and Netgear is Gigabit)?
