[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 23193, member: 7271”]You’re welcome.
All is working then I presume?[/quote]
I have succesfull created an image of a Windows 7 machine. I have not tried to deploy the image back to the Windows 7 machine, but I assume that this is going to work, otherwise I let it know. 
Ok, I’ll leave it alone. Thank you and Tom for all the help!
[quote=“Jaymes Driver, post: 22991, member: 3582”]try removing your .mntcheck files and recreating them
/images/.mntcheck
/images/dev/.mntcheck
[/quote]
Done!
[quote}
edit your /etc/expotrs to look like this
[code]
/images *(ro,async,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)
/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)
[/code]
[/quote]
Done! Only change this line from:
/images/dev *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)
to:
/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)

ALSO, if you are using the FOG server to store your images (Not a NAS or another server, or save space or something HAS TO BE STORED IN THE /images folder on the Ubuntu box) then try isolating the network with a basic router. Set up a network between the host and the server only and try to image.[/quote]
[/quote]
It was allready set to be stored in the /image folder, so no changes there.
As expected I had to connect a Windows 2012 server for the DHCP-options 66 & 67. With the basic router the Windows 7 client didn’t get the right DHCP-data.
I honestly did not had confident that it should be successful now, but at this time I see the blue screen "save partition to image file’.
So I’m very glad, it is working, at last!
Now you are talking about a NAS-server. Is it possible to store the images on a seperate NAS-server (a QNAP f.i.)?
My Ubuntu uses rpcbind instead of portmap by the way.
But this didn’t help also:
[code]
service rpdbind restart
service nfs-kernel-server restart
[/code]

That’s a bug in this forum.

try
[code]
service portmap restart
service nfs-kernel-server restart

I had allready tried that and even rebooted the Ubuntu machine, but I didn’t help.
The PXEboot on the Windows 7 client went well…until…this:

Maybe a new challenge for Tom?
It looks like it’s working on a another Windows 7 client! PXE boots up with FOG image solution!
Before it was runing I have connected a Windows 2012 server for DHCP in the network.
Thanks again. But my troubles are not over yet!
Windows 7 PXE doesn’t receive a bootfile, when booting.
Here is my output again after

FOG says again:
Unable to start task
Unable to upload file.
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 22871, member: 7271”]So that tells me that FTP is not working. From the main console can you chmod -R 777 /tftpboot and try creating task again?[/quote]
Still the same:
Unable to start task
Unable to upload file.
After “chmod -R 777 /tftpboot”
In the FTP-shell it is possible to make a dir in /tftpboot but not in pxelinus.cfg
Ok.
In the FTP shell, I can cd to /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
mkdir test, failed in the FTP shell.
What strikes me is that the wake-up function of the Advance Actions actually doing something.I see here the message “Wake up packet sent to 1 computer(s).”
If I shutdown the Windows 7 PC (not reboot). The Windows 7 PC will reboot instead of shutdown.
Does this say something?
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 22850, member: 7271”]can you try ftping using the fog user and password you set with passwd fog before?
[code]ftp <IP OF FOG SERVER>[/code]
Login with the Fog Username and password.
See that it successfully connects.
[/quote]
Yes, no problem. Connection is made succesfully.
[quote]
Then try to cd to /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
[code]cd /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg[/code]
Then Try to create a file there, if it even lets you get that far.
[/quote]
Yes, I can cd to /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg and make a subdir:
[code]sudo mkdir test[/code]
and a file with:
[code] sudo pico jostest.txt [/code]
Does it allow you to create the folder?[/quote]
Yes, with:
[code] sudo mkdir test [/code]
[quote=“Jaymes Driver, post: 22829, member: 3582”]You could try :
[code]
chown -R fog:root /tftpboot[/code]
Could be a possibility that the rights aren’t correct on the folder.[/quote]
I have tried it, but still I have got the same answer:
Unable to start task
Unable to upload file.
If you want the errorlog, please let me know.
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 22782, member: 7271”]No, from the ubuntu machine.
Can you run the command:
[code]sudo ufw disable[/code]
Then restart the FOG server?[/quote]
Done! After restart the result is the same:
Unable to start task
Unable to upload file.
I send with this post an attachement of the error.log from reboot until the upload task. About 15:52 I started the upload task. Maybe you see more in this file. I wonder if you can find a solutionf for this problem, so I can finally make an image with FOG.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 22776, member: 7271”]Do you, by chance, have a firewall still turned on?[/quote]
I don’t know. I have installed Ubuntu by default. Or do you mean on the Windows 7 machine?
Here is a part of the logfile. I don’t know where it actually starts setting the task:

Yes, I know. I don’t think you understand me or what is going wrong on my FOG server.
Ok. But what password I change. Nothing had changed in Fog. The only difference I see in FOG is this, after I set an upload task, is this:
Unable to start task
Unable to connect to tftp server.
Unable to start task
Unable to upload file.
So thhe FOG server is not able to start the task either if the FTP password is wrong or correct.
Can you explain this?
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 22731, member: 7271”]While the fog FTP user is setup during install time I don’t think the password is correct which is why you’re seeing problems. You need to set the fog users password yourself with[code]sudo passwd fog[/code]. Then set the password in the GUI under both storage management and fog settings. Also, for future reference, port 22 is for ssh. Ports 20 and 21 are for FTP.[/quote]
I remember it did this allready some days ago. Still the same result… (Unable to start task / Unable to upload file)
Do I set the password with this code to FTP, TFTP en MYSQL at the same time?
[code]sudo passwd fog[/code]
I wonder if it ever will start a task. I’m now several days working on it with the passwords and I do not get much further.
