I don’t know what happened but now it’s just capturing used space.

@Sebastian-Roth said in Updating FOG and retaining settings:

@willian Upgrade will rewrite the DHCP config of your FOG server. So make a backup copy if you have modified it.

I could even clone the server for testing but later I will see how I do.

As well make sure you read und understand this before you upgrade: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13488/fog-1-5-7-officially-released

Is there any important information in this topic about this issue? I read everything but I saw nothing related.

Thanks.

Hello. One question, here at the company we are currently at version 1.5.6 and I am thinking of upgrading to 1.5.7. The FOG server is also the DHCP server. I was wondering if updating will make any changes to the DHCP service or just the FOG settings.

Thanks.

@george1421 the next time I need to change something in the golden image I will test these scripts. Thank you.

@george1421 So, since Change Hostname Early might not work for me since I use sysprep, could I enable Hostname Changer to do the check but not reboot the machine in a forced manner, but when it is manually restarted by the user?

@george1421 I had understood that by enabling the change hostname early, the hosts would have their hostnames changed during or after the deploy of the image, according to which they were registered on the server. For example, if I registered a host like Test-123, after deploy the image that would be its hostname.

Hi @Sebastian-Roth that’s exactly what I wanted to know. I keep the Change Hostname Early enabled, as in the picture I posted, but the hosts “receive” random hostnames, DESKTOP-XXXXX. As I use sysprep to create the golden image, I do not include the ComputerName option in the unattend.xml file. I’ve also performed a debug deploy task to check:

Hello.

I wonder if these two settings do the same thing or is there any difference between?

Thanks.

@george1421 Here we also deploy one by one. What I meant is if you configure each machine to enter the boot menu by F12? Or is there a way to configure multiple machines at one time?

@george1421 said in Change the boot order automatically:

@willian One thing (a bit off point) is that for my company, I enforce my guys to use the F12 boot menu to pick pxe booting. The default boot order is always the hard drive, but they pick F12 boot menu to do a pxe boot. That way on a restart it will go back to the default of a hard drive boot.

Do you do this for all machines? One by one?

@george1421 I did some testing initially on VMs (Hyper-V), and on two machines, one with Biostar motherboard and another Asus.
