[quote=“David Norman, post: 4002, member: 1298”]We are currently using gpxe boot cds to get the macs to start a pxe boot. This allows us to image the macs off of the fog server. It is a pain to deal with cds, but it works.[/quote]

Thank you so much! While it may not be as easy as PXE booting PCs, it will sure be a lot faster than having to insert the factory OS disk, and run a 7-pass hard drive wipe when I can use DBAN to do a 3-pass wipe through the FOG server. Again, thank you! I really appreciate your help!

Hey everyone, I’m sorry, I’m very new to this, so if I sound like I have no idea what I’m talking about I apologize. What I am looking to do is host an image of DBAN on my FOG Server that I am able to push to both Macs (Macbooks, Macbook Pros, etc.) as well as PCs. Now, I already have this set up and working beautifully with PCs, but I cannot figure out how to successfully PXE boot any Macs with my FOG server. Is this even possible? Any advice would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

I’m really sorry that I did not get a chance to reply to this earlier, but thank you so much for taking the time to help me out with this! I had been wrapped up in other projects until today, but I will definitely work on this and let you know if I make any progress! Again, thank you!

Hello everyone, I am trying to set up a system that will allow me to run DBAN’s “DOD 3-pass wipe” on the hard drives of machines connected to my FOG PXE network and when the process is complete I would like the machines to register automatically with the FOG server.

I have gotten as far as scripting the DBAN wipe to perform the wipe automatically as soon as the DBAN option is selected from the FOG boot menu, and I have Quick Registration working, I would just like to combine the two options into one, if possible. This is just to save time because I will have a great deal of computers with sensitive information in the next two weeks, and I need to be able to easily keep track of the hard drive serial numbers as well as the machine serial and model numbers that have been sanitized.

Any advice or suggestions would be very much appreciated, thanks!
