@george1421 one last questions, if I got the folder in /images
example
Server1: /images/window7
Copy that directory and export the image (image.csv), then Paste that file to Server2
Server2: /images/window7
and import that image.csv this should work?
Ahhhh, thanks @george1421 worked like a charm.
Kind of a side question but is there any tutorial links on Snapin?
@Quazz Actually on the new Gen 4 there isn’t to many bloatware and “management” tools.
But I will actually look at building a native windows 10 enterprise 1607 iso.
I created another FOG server and would like to know how to copy images from one server to another. I tried the terminal command
server1$ scp -r /images server2_IP:/
I don’t get any errors.
server2$ touch /images/{.mntcheck,dev/.mntcheck}
server2$ chmod 777 -R /images/
no error messages.
Then I go to server2 and log into fog and go to “Image Management” I don’t see anything. However, if I go to /images I do see the directory and files. Am I missing a step?
I also attempted to create an image in “Image Management” and map the path that is in “/images/image_name”, and I still get nothing in the FOG.
So I took a different approch, I reinstalled the OS and didn’t update windows 10 to 1607 and left it at 15** (something) and now I have deployed and tested the image 6 times now (granted on two machines only, will need to get my hands on a few more to be sure)
But it may have been the actually image is self after deploying, windows setup would just fail… “say la vie”
No, I’m fairly new with to FOG.
So I syspreped a lenovo machine with windows 10, ran updates, installed Apps and made a simple Unattend File.
And before any images capture or deploy, I just sysprep (generalize and OOBE with unattend.xml) and allowed the machine to reboot, and it boots up perfectly!!!
Next step, reinstalled system and repeated the step above but this time I capture the image and deploy that images to a different machine as well as the same machine. Both Machines works perfectly…
Then redeployed the same image to the same machines again to test consistency and now I get the " 
Your PC Ran into a problem and needs to restart" and this loop repeats itself
Anyone have any ideas one what or where I can start investigating this issue? I just can’t fathom why the image would work then fail when reimagine the same machine.
@Tom-Elliott @george1421 you guys been a world of help and I just want to help back anyways I can with what I got.
So it is all good, I got the USB FOS disk working, but no need. All I had to do was use the OneLine+ Ethernet adapter and it resolved all my issues. I was able to capture and deploy images with in 2~5 mins. This X1 Gen 4 was a big headache but this PCIE 3.0 x4 SSD should be worth it… I hope.
Hi @george1421,
So I think i figured it out, after creating the USB disk, before even using the FOS disk I went to test to make sure the problem still exists from yesterday.
Turns out… The USB Ethernet adapter was the problem. Its not so much it doesn’t work, it has to do with something with the MAC ID on the USB Ethernet adapter.
I’ve notice since day lets say M1 uses the usb ethernet adapter (by lenovo) and gets the MAC id, say MAC_1
then plug the same adapter into machine 2 (M2) fog will see it as only one host.
So the lesson here is… keep track of your usb ethernet adapters that have MAC ADDR on them. Lenovo has created different Ethernet adapters that don’t have Mac IDs on them.
Now the problem is after I select “Perform Full Registration” I get a black screen. Would this be Kernel related?
Oh no I want to figure this out and i sure other people out there with Lenovo X1s will come across this issue. Plus I like the fully automated service FOG provides.
I will try the USB FOS suggestion.
So I haven’t had a chance to do the USB FOS Engine boot yet, but i did try something interesting… hear me out.
I set the machine, lets call it X1_1 from UEFI only to Legacy boot then proceed as normal. I was able to PXE boot and perform a full registration and capture an image.
Then on a second (identical machine) lets call this one X1_2 set it to Legacy boot, and deployed an image to it. Once completed I set the machine back to UEFI only and watch the machine boot up… and now I’m in Audit mode with all the app/updates performed in a Pre-Sysprep config just as I imaged it on X1_1.
I don’t think I would call this a win but it worked… your thoughts @george1421 ?
in /tftpboot do I back up default.ipxe (say default.ipxe_bak) and copy one of the other .efi and rename to default.ipxe?
No I am running 1.3.0 RC 11, I was running 1.2.0 last week and with much success so much so its on another dedicated machine and locked down.
So this machine comes with a unique ethernet adapter called OneLink Ethernet Adapter, I don’t have it available and I am currently using Lenovo USB Ethernet adapter which has worked for current and previous generation machines and windows 7 & 10 but in legacy mode.
I will try again tonight when I get that adapter.
Updated firmware, and turned logging level to 7 and still got the same results. No additional error messages then the screen shot sent earlier.
No, it just sits on that screen. I’ve waited 15-20 mins,
Morning Tom (West Coast here)
No no I understand its not an exact one size fit all. I am honestly not sure how to check which iPXE driver I would be using.
