@trev-lchs it appears this was a one off and subsequent installs have not had this issue. So this one can be written off as solved. Seems the resize NTFS partition failed to work one time.

@rav Can I just please add, if you are setting it up for UEFI, you must when adding the DHCP option to the new policy, you must put the Fog IP address in Option 66. You might think you don’t need to, as you already have it in for the BIOS booting. But if you are adding a policy for UFEI you must add the fog server address into option 66 for tftp server, otherwise the UFEI client does not know where to get the IPXE.EFI file (or whichever file you specify in option 67) from.

This is not in the WIKI and is a step that is often missed. Especially by me.

@george1421 running now

@Trev-lchs uploaded image with no issue, I love Fog. I have been using it since 2006 not an expect by any means and i have no knowledge of Linux, but the online info is great and makes it possible for a Windows man to make it work.

@george1421 A Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you guys.

@Sebastian-Roth HI Sebastian, just to let you know that this is something internally that keeps setting a proxy server, a bit of software or GPO I am struggling like crazy to find it, but every time I change the proxy when I log in , it is there again. I can find no GPO that is responsible, an absolute mystery to me, Microsoft and our third line support, but we will get there eventually or die trying.

@rav https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence Hi Rav, follow this, but please add the fog server IP to option 66. Also if you have subnets to need to complete this on each subnet scope on the dhcp server, also if you have 2 DHCP servers you must do it on each one and on each subnet

@rav Sorry Rav my experience is with windows servers Maybe @george1421 will be better equipped to help you with this one.

@sebastian-roth OK I am just very stupid, My apologies everyone. However. this might be a great opportunity to help others. Please when installing the client, in the box that says Fog Server, make sure you clear the box (the word FogServer) and enter the IP of your Fog Server then click next. The easy thing to do is just click next on the install, that’s when you get the CA error as it has no idea where the fog server is.

I have found it, you cant see the advanced tasks from the task menu, but if you go into hosts, list all host, select the PC you want, then click Basic Tasks, then advanced, the options are all there. Thanks everyone. I just needed to ask the right question. @Wayne-Workman @george1421

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks Sabastian.

@Wayne-Workman Thanks Wayne.

I will be building a new server as I think I am now really pushing the edges with Ubuntu 16.04.6. Would you know how easy is it to copy over the settings from the old fog server to the new one bearing in mind that they will be the same version. Or is better just to start again? I have lots of settings and groups etc etc.

@ikt_le Hi, not sure what system you are using for DHCP but if it is windows please have a look at the guide below
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence follow this, but please add the fog server IP to option 66. Also if you have subnets you need to complete this on each subnet scope on the dhcp server. Also if you have 2 DHCP servers you must do it on each one and on each subnet (unless is copies over properly between the servers, mine didn’t last time i set it up)

Same here as for George1421 there may be some config required on the network for broadcast traffic and also helpers to get the required traffic between subnets.

What was the issue you are having? Not that I can answer your question but someone might be able to help with more info.

@george1421 Hi George, sorry buddy it is a typo, its 16.04.6 LTS Xenial Xerus. Thanks for getting back to me, just for info I took Sabastian’s advice and took a snapshot of the server and installed1.5.10 and all seems ok for now. I will however look to upgrade to the latest LST version.

@Sebastian-Roth Hi Sabastian. Yes you are correct 16.04.6 LTS Xenial Xerus, well I took your advice and created a snapshot of the virtual server. Installed 1.5.10 and so far all seems well, I will let you know, but …

Mod edit: moved to https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/16739/migrating-fog-1-5-10-from-old-to-new-server-old-to-new-os

Hi all I know its very old, but, will 1.5.10 work ok on ubuntu 10.04.6 LTS Xenial Xerus

@Sebastian-Roth Great news, thank you Sabastian and your crew of dedicated Fog warriors, much appreciated.
