Now. we just gotta get people back on IRC… Used to have like 40 on all the time and answers within a few minutes. Hmmm.

I’m on! And am always there. Feel free to ping

First result from Google: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11184/api-powershell-create-host-and-deploy-task-script probably should do more reading before I ask you follow up questions.

Start-Transcript -Path C:\$([Environment]::Is64BitProcess).txt
"Is 64?"
[Environment]::Is64BitProcess
$pwd
if ([Environment]::Is64BitProcess)
{
	
	$a = Get-BitLockerVolume -MountPoint C: 
	$a | Out-File C:\file.txt -append
}
else
{
	$arguments = "-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoProfile -File temp.ps1 "
	start-process C:\WINDOWS\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ArgumentList $arguments -Wait -WorkingDirectory $pwd
}

I know its not pretty, but its a proof of running 64 powershell. In essence, I need the 32bit to launch a 64bit version of powershell. Can’t just run powershell.exe because it goes still into x86.

@wayne-workman I had no idea you could do an import for hosts… I made an API script to get the serial and replace the quick reg name (mac) with the serial since I didn’t see any other way to do it easily for all my hosts…

Will do.

@wayne-workman I will do additional testing today and probably tomorrow then update this thread with results (i’m assuming that we’ll be good to mark solved at that point).

@sebastian-roth HOLY CRAP. Just dropping the clover boot.efi in the place of refind.efi booted windows just fine!

@george1421 Absolutely. Though, i’m told that we need to return this demo laptop cause it doesn’t have enough ram and is missing the 2nd HDD. So it may be a few weeks before I have another laptop of this same model (I probably will turn it in Thursday and can do any testing before then).

@tom-elliott Thanks for the thoughts. And especially thank you for cml for the code, and Wayne for ALWAYS being amazing on the forums.

I’m just happy that I solved my other problem on my own (the post about running 64bit powershell snapins so I can use modules and such). Gettin better all the time. Actually, Tom, it may be worth making a 64bit powershell snapin template. Guess that may have to be my own PR to put in.

Just going to add in here that when I want to see how busy my HDD’s are during tasks, I use nmon. Can run as normal user and press d to view disk activity percentage. Very friendly to a newb. Press n to also view network stats and c to view CPU as well.

If I was you, i’d bring a computer over to the same physical switch that your FOG server takes the image on. See if it sustains a better speed or not to determine if network routing is to blame or not.

@julianh You can migrate to a VM and prove that your new config works as expected. If so, then you are clear to wipe your expensive box and put a clean OS isntall on it and migrate config to it. Should work with minimal work and you have a good confidence that it work fine.
