I agree about the confusing terminology. I mean, it doesn’t confuse me but, I do have to “think” about it for a second when I’m doing stuff from the web GUI.
I really like the Deploy/Capture terminology. I also like the Client/Server terminology. Everyone is familiar with these and they can’t be confused.
And, for “Quick Image”, how about “Quick Deploy” instead?
Simple question, do all the members of the group use the same image?
I think one of the biggest core-problems with I.T. support people multicasting is being unable to access their switches / routers.
These dumb barriers between network teams and I.T. support are created. A technician will say “Multicast isn’t working”, network admin says “It’s set up, you must not be doing it right”… vicious circle. And that’s if they even BOTHER to help you… Either person could be wrong, honestly. But, without one being able to see the other’s setup (or communicate really well), it’s pretty pointless to even try to troubleshoot.
I despise things like this.
Multicast uses UDP.
Inside “Tasks”, it will show you the status of each host in that multicast session.
This is important, because, if one fails (and you’re 10 miles away), this is basically your only way of getting early warning.
If you want to see the difference between Unicast & Multicast, tell a group of computers to Unicast… See how long that takes!
Simple question again, have you looked in storage management to ensure that the storage node you’re using has the right path & credentials?
The credentials on my FOG machine is set to the user “fog”, which is also a Linux user as well. The credentials should match for both.

Try changing out the network adapter for the VM to something else.
I know in Win Server 12, you can choose something called “Legacy”.
Let us know how it goes.
[quote=“kansukee, post: 44189, member: 1017”]Just to check, I deleted the old, copied T510 image from /images, created a new T510 image from scratch with OSID 5, single disk, multiple partitions, not resizeable. Tried again to assign a host to it and failed with “no valid image”.[/quote]
You’ve verified that the image actually exists in the directory? Is it in /images? or is it in /images/dev ?
It’s probably OK to image while the backup is running, but you might see decreased performance in both.
IMO, leave it alone.
And, there are probably 100 different backup methods/programs/scripts you could use to backup FOG server.
[quote=“Uncle Frank, post: 44161, member: 28116”]Not much difference. Makes the kernel bigger and bigger. But probably better then having a lot of people waiting for a minute for no reason… ;)[/quote]
Personally, I want a kernel that will work with EVERYTHING.
UEFI & BIOS mixed environments scares the crap out of me, honestly.

Wow.
Could you check to see if the NUC is set for legacy boot?
Probably not… might make you dizzy seeing all that code fly by though… and throwing up on a computer wouldn’t be good.
[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 44150, member: 21583”]I just fogged a NUC5i5RYH
Didn’t even need to enter system settings. Out of the box it booted to nic first and worked.[/quote]
What’s your bootfile setup? Your DHCP setup?
[quote=“sudburr, post: 44147, member: 4706”]I’ve successfully used FOG on :
Intel NUC DBN2820FYK
Intel NUC D54250WYB
Programming the BIOS on either is tricky, especially for the first one. I used both in legacy mode.
For the first unit, after PXE boot/deployment, you MUST turn PXE boot OFF in the BIOS if you want it to ever boot properly again.
Even though both were used in Legacy mode, both still had to have the UEFI settings set. Frankly the BIOSes are bafflingly thought out in reverse and quite annoying.[/quote]
Do you have WiKi access? You need to add that info into the hardware lists, and also explain the complications/solutions that need done. If you don’t, I can do it.
[quote=“Uncle Frank, post: 44107, member: 28116”]
We’ve had several people here in the forums. Some got their USB thingys working. Maybe it’s time to add those to this list here too: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/WorkingDevices[/url]

There’s absolutely every reason to do that.
So,
Does anyone care to install Ubuntu 12.04 and apply no updates, then install phpmyadmin and webmin, and then jack around with TFTP and AD passwords?
NOT ME. I is happily Fedora going. 
I’ll catch the next Fedora bug we find
Yeah, do what Uncle Frank said. The guy is a hero.
[quote=“Jeremy Bailey, post: 44101, member: 12244”]That’s actually what was there.[/quote]
Just to back up for a moment (using the KISS method), if you go to the web GUI (you can still get to it, right?) and go to FOG settings, and go to the spot in there for TFTP settings, what do you see? Is it all correct?
What is inside of here?
[CODE]/etc/inetd.conf[/CODE]
Also, try adding this line to /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
[CODE]RUN_DAEMON=“yes”[/CODE]
First, backup what you have like this:
[CODE]sudo cp /etc/default/tftpd-hpa /etc/default/tftpd-hpa_backup[/CODE]
You could add the “run daemon” line with an ECHO command, or you could use a graphical text editor. I think Debian comes with something called nedit. It’s up to you.
The ECHO command would be like this:
(make careful note of the beginning & ending single quotes, and the double quotes around yes)
[CODE]sudo echo ‘RUN_DAEMON=“yes”’ >> /etc/default/tftpd-hpa [/CODE]
When you’re done, it should look like this:
[CODE]
TFTP_USERNAME=“root”
TFTP_DIRECTORY=“/tftpboot”
TFTP_ADDRESS=“0.0.0.0:69”
TFTP_OPTIONS=“-s”
RUN_DAEMON=“yes”
[/CODE]
Use the CAT command to confirm:
[CODE]sudo cat /etc/default/tftpd-hpa[/CODE]
Then restart the service with:
[CODE]service tftpd-hpa restart[/CODE]
Let us know what it says. If it makes it worse, you can just remove the line, or restore the backup…
[quote=“Jeremy Bailey, post: 44099, member: 12244”]/etc/default/tftpd-hpa
TFTP_USERNAME=“root”
TFTP_DIRECTORY=“/tftpboot”
TFTP_ADDRESS=“0.0.0.0:69”
TFTP_OPTIONS=“-s”[/quote]
Simple question, did you edit the IP address to 0.0.0.0 just to hide it, or is that actually what was there?
TFTP shouldn’t have a dependency on dnsmasq in order to run. (someone correct me if I’m wrong?)
Have you tried to restart TFTP?
What’s in the config file?
