Hey guys my school campus recently got new desktops. HP Prodesk 400 series, Windows 10. My fog worked perfectly with older machine but now with UEFI I can’t seem to get to work. I upgraded my server to Windows Server 2012 Datacenter I believe it’s R1. I might be wrong. I followed all the sets on adding vendor class from the guide. HP bios has IPv4 boot at the top of the order but I see it for a slight second and I see it get an IP but it just skips into the OS. I don’t get a chance to go into fog and register the new desktop. Any ideas?

Hey guys I wanted your input on imaging. Should I install FOG client application before capturing the image and then deploy it. (Any authentication problem) Or should I create the image with the FOG client installer on the desktop and double click it one by one. What do you guys think?

Is it possible to use snapin packs to install multiple applications. For example, I create a script that installs chrome, firefox, 7zip, etc. In the zip file that is uploaded to FOG contains the script and the application that i want to install.
Reason i want to do this is because i can create monthly batches and deploy them once a month (updated version of apps) I’ve tried but have been unsuccessful.

@george1421 I ran it and it didn’t work. I tried “/q” instead and that worked but it wasn’t silent, a dialog boxed pop up says where you want to extract the file too.

Hey guys I’m trying to install DirectX with snapin pack. The files is an EXE and i create a batch file to execute it with the “/silent” command. That’s what it says online but for some reason it just hangs when installing it and nothing happens. No error is returned it just hangs

@x23piracy finally figured out snapin packs and they worked perfectly. Thanks guys

@george1421 will try using snap in packs looks like I’m getting the hang on how to use them. I’ll post how it turns out

Hey guys I’m trying to install Kurzweil 3000 as a silent install. The command would be executed through a batch file that would give the command to install the program from a shared folder. Can’t seem to get it to work here is the log file that it gives me when I run it.

If i run the command with the file located locally within the system it runs it. What am I missing to be able to do it through a network shared folder?

@x23piracy Kurzweil 3000 v15 I found instructions online.

@joe-schmitt @george1421 I got you I’ll search like that from now on. I just thought it was something universal but now I understand. Thanks will keep doing the search. Thanks guys. Trail and error. You can mark the question solved

Hey guys I’m having trouble understanding what arguments to use when deploy certain EXEs, MSIs are pretty straight forward since they have a template. I know that Snapin Packs have EXE template but they don’t add any arguments. Where do I find arguments I can use and how to know when to apply each of them. Is there a universal list of arguments that can be used?
Thanks in advanced FOG has really helped me out and my school campus.

Hey guys is there a way to use snapins to place 2 files in a specific windows folder?
I was thinking maybe using a batch file but I’m not sure where to start, what would you guys do?

Hey guy I’m having issues with FOG Client after installing Reboot Restore RX. This is a software that allows to restore windows to its initial state kind off like a snapshot. So that means that when it restarts everything goes back to normal. This prevents students making changes. But since it restores everything the FOG client always loose its authentication with the server. Is there a way around this?

@tom-elliott yes it went back to the full amount.

@wayne-workman It was that file, I deleted it already thanks.

@wayne-workman Okay would it be any of these. I’m thinking its the first one because the event happened to day Feb 8

And no My OS is in different partition. So no conflict there.

Hey guys I deleted an image from the web interface but it did not free up the space on the HDD

Those 20 gig should be free, be for I uploaded the test image it was not using those 20 gigs.

@joe-schmitt sorry I didn’t check my notification until today. It hasn’t happened anymore I think the problem was that i was resetting the encryption data every time i did something new because a friend told me he did it like that but turns out I didn’t have too. Thanks for trying it out. Sorry I made you search a dead end

@wayne-workman it doesn’t show up in the local printers either. Okay thank you
