Our DHCP is done by Windows Server. Interestingly, other machines can get to FOG, and I can image them, but not the surfaces.

@Sebastian-Roth

Here is the picture you requested:

Hope it helps!

OK. I’ve done all that, both the kernels and the inits. I noticed I’m running 1.5.4.8 of FOG. It says I’m out of date. Not sure how to update that either.

@george1421

I’m unable to run a compatibility test, as I get a similar error.

I’m running FOG 1.5.4 on CentOS. Installed it fresh back in July.

I used to run FOG on Ubuntu and knew the proper steps to update it through that, can you share the right commands in CentOS to update FOG?

Good afternoon!

I’m trying to image 10 Surface Go’s, hopefully with my existing UEFI image.

I’m using a Microsoft Surface Dock, I’ve configured the BIOS to make sure I can boot to the dock, I’m able to boot to FOG and get to the menu. When I try to register the Surface with FOG, I get this error:

Not exactly sure what all this means (other than something isn’t working).

If I try to skip the registration, and just push the image, FOG tries, but it seems to hang forever at erasing the current MBR/GPT table and never goes further.

10 isn’t a huge number, and I can do these by hand if needed, but I have a feeling I’m going to see a lot more of these Surfaces soon, so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Tom thanks for the help. I’ve done your settings and will be testing multicast again soon. Do I need to fill in an address for Multicast Address as well or just leave that blank?

Tom, I ran the commands you provided and I’m now on 1.5.4.8. Now I have multicast sessions that some stay, and some disappear. Also, it seems as though I can’t reuse the same name for a session. Lastly, when I am able to create a session and get clients to join, it gets to the blue partclone screen and seems to hang. It never starts deploying the image. I’m happy to provide any info I can.

Thanks!

I have a Fog 1.5.4 install on CentOS 7. When I create a mulitcast session, I see the session at the bottom of the page, but target machines can’t find the session and when I refresh the page the session is gone. I have tested by making a session and then immediately refreshing the page once I see the session at the bottom, and the session is gone. Any ideas?

Hey, I figured it out. I just had to enable http access on the firewall.

I see the firewall settings in CentOS. What do I need to enable?

I just did a fresh fog install on CentOS 7. The install completed fine (great work on that by the way) and I can access the web management page on the fog machine itself.

However, I’m unable to access the web management page on any other machine. I can ping the fog machine, but not access the web page. Did I miss something in the setup?

To clarify, from another machine I’m trying to go to the ip address/fog/management and it times out. From that same machine I’m able to ping the ip address with no problems.

@george1421 I could, but shutdown /p worked just fine for me. I’m a firm believer in the KISS method so the less typing I have to screw up the better.

@Wayne-Workman Fog 1.3.4 SVN 6066.

@george1421 This error was capturing the image before I sysprepped, in the audit mode stage so I can go back later and add things to the image if needed.

Hello all,

I wanted to let you know I recently ran into the above issue several times when trying to make a Sysprep image for Windows 10. I would reboot, and power down cleanly through the Shutdown GUI with no change, I ran chkdsk and sfc scan with no change nothing seemed to work.

Here is the solution I found:

From the command prompt, run shutdown /p

That will do the same as shutting down through the GUI, but now I can upload my images to FOG.

I just wanted to share this in case others were having this issue as well.

Cheers!

@Vanlue-IT-Guy I wanted to update everyone - I have tried a different boot server entirely (an old kace vm) and I am getting the same error message - PXE-E53: No Boot Filename Received. I am beginning to think there’s a DHCP in windows somewhere.

Hi all, I don’t want to pile on here, but I came in this morning and I am having this issue now as well. Everything was working fine yesterday.

My DHCP is Server 2012 R2. I have confirmed that the 66 and 67 options are configured correctly. I have rebooted my FOG server. Nothing fixes the issue. Nothing has changed on my end. I have updated FOG to 5768 with no change. Any thoughts?

@Wayne-Workman @Tom-Elliott, Thanks guys! I had to use Wayne’s commands to get into and out of mysql and Tom’s commands to clear out the DB table.

@Tom-Elliott Tom Thanks! Where do I run this or doesn’t it matter?

I am trying to start a multi-cast session called “a” and I keep being told that the session already exists, except it doesn’t. I think this traces back to a session that I cancelled, but obviously it got stuck somehow. How can I get it unstuck?
