I have more results in progress on the RAMdisk. Hopefully i’ll get them done tonight.

Instead of a VM, could you create a netinstall iso that downloads and installs the OS for you and then launches the FOG installer.

Smaller download, runs on any VM that has internet access, lets the user set their own RAM, vCPUs, HDD and Networking.

You will NEVER please everyone… for me a 250GB VHD would be way too big… for someone else it would be way too small…

2vCPU - reasonable for most, but my home hypervisor wouldn’t run it properly as it’s only on a celeron. 1vCPU, could we run into issues where there isn’t enough CPU? (Neither would a HP Microserver)

1GB RAM - should run OK… but someone will moan that their low end PC ran out of RAM running it… Someone else will moan that it should have more…

In order to run FOG, they need to change their DHCP, You shouldn’t force this onto the FOG server because it could lead to them effectively killing their network when their DNS doesn’t work. They need to know what they are doing to some degree or we will just end up with angry people who don’t have a clue moaning on the forums, giving FOG a bad name.

There is no replacement for knowing your own environment and how it works. We should emphasize that this is not ‘easy peasy’ and will require some level of knowlegde.

git checkout dev-branch
git pull

now running 1.5.0 RC11
Interesting new GUI.

I added a location - it said it was successful however it seems no location was created.
When i clicked to list locations none appeared.

I uninstalled the plugin and re-installed it and it now works.

Thank-You for the quick reply

This is the process for a KMS Server… so use the part that you need.

slmgr.vbs -ipk FJ82H-XT6CR-J8D7P-XQJJ2-GPDD4
slmgr.vbs -skms IPADDRESS:1688
slmgr.vbs -ato
slmgr.vbs -dlv > c:\KMS.log

The key is the public KMS one that you input into clients.

Mod edited to use code box.

I would try to use KMS if you can, if your doing this for OEM it will be a pain…

You could run the script via batch file, snapins, wpkg, opsi, GPO. It all depends how you are setup and how your environment works.

If the NAS can be an NFS and FTP server, skip the fog server and use the NAS as the only storage node.

You could setup BittorrentSync to distribute your images to your storage nodes…

but as for writing an image entirely over bittorrent… would probably be a big rewrite.
