There is a Fog version for Windows?[/quote]

There is a client to communicate with FOG from windows called the TFTP Client, if you download it and run the command we can verify that your boot file is getting to the correct location as intended.

FOG is only developed for linux operating systems. The creators devised an ingenious way to image machines using the pxe boot method which was highly sought after during the time when other similarly functioning softwares costed a large amount of cash. They used FREE software to complete the project, it since then has grown and a lot of features and additions have happened. FOG is developed for linux so it is free because it uses other free software. It can not function on windows without emulation.

Please add the tftp client in the Add and Remove Features section and run the command.

[quote=“Mark Carrara, post: 28662, member: 1363”]I have downloaded Ubuntu 13.04 and will load it today. I’m sure with the help on this forum I will get moved to the new version of FOG.

I thought I remember reading about removing some of the unused/unneeded services from FOG. I am a firm believer in software doing one thing and doing it great and not dong a dozen things well. On our network I have many servers that only do one thing like DHCP, print manger, single app server. I feel it is better for optimization and troubleshooting then having one server do multiple things.[/quote]

I agree with you there!

And you are correct, you can slim fog down from anything you don’t use. If you look at the installer script before you run it, you can even remove the calls there to prevent them from being installed.

However, most of what is installed with fog is required. The only thing that is really optional would be the DHCP sever and that is why there is a question about using FOG as the DHCP. If you don’t want/need it you tell it no and it will still install happily.

If you remove services you need to accommodate them by providing the services else where. But that would involve a custom set up and that would fall outside of the bounds of our support. Of course we will try our best to get you running, I would prefer if you install fog as it is intended and get it working, then you can play with it further from there if you wish.
