rerun the fog installer and pay attention if it’s throwing errors.
Do you have automatic security updates enabled for ubuntu? Setup is asking you while installing if it should install critical updates automatically.
Maybe something is broken cause of this.

well fog saves you a lot of time therefore it may saves you from divorcement from your wife 
Is FOG fully GUI based?
yes it is today all the actions are done via the webif and some basic stuff can be done by the client itself when booting into the pxe menu.
Others have mentioned ‘snapins’ as an answer to this missing feature.
Snapins can for example used to deploy software to a client but you can use the snapin for whatever you want, its doing remote actions to the clients.
Is it possible to script FOG actions so I can image a machine on command from a script?
Today you will install the fog client to a host, if you then like to image that host you can start this via fogs web interface, then the client will be rebooted to boot from network and for example create an image.
I’ll just start with that one.
I would recommend to just install and start usage you will grow with that.
Thanks for your help
you are welcome 
@Wayne-Workman i am thinking of making some videos of fogs basic actions so newbies always have a quicker look of what fog is intended to do.

try to shutdown your windows with:
shutdown -s -t 0 -f
then capture (i assume u are capturing windows).
It’s because shutdown /s performs a conventional shutdown. The shutdown via the GUI performs a fast shutdown for Windows 8 & 10, where it does something that’s pretty much like a hibernation, so that startup and shutdown are fast.
If you permanently like to disable that you can use (admin rights needed):
powercfg -h off
You don’t need to increase the partition yourself, fog will do that before it captures everything

@Quazz will this copy, startmenu, taskbar and default apps?
it’s all about network througput and storage fastness comparing to the network speed
would be interesting to see the deployment speed with a native 10gbit lan and ssd raid for storage 
…and sure the client should have ssd too.
But i can tell you 1gbit lan and hdd in the storage node can easily deploy a 16gb image within 2 minutes to a system with ssd i see it daily happen again and again hehe
@sudburr said in Windows desktop shortcuts... .ico images gone after sysprep!:
It’s not a v1703 thing. I ran into it with v1607 as well.
After you copy the shortcuts to desktop you must edit the permissions for each to:
ADD Users Read & Execute, Read
really? I never had to do so.
I only know this issue regarding to a network share which covers the icon and the client had no read access yet. When then windows is trying to load the icon it couldn’t reach the share readable and therefore the icon is empty.
What if you check the icons symbol settings? Is it still pointing to the correct local ico file?
Please show a screener of the shortcut properties.
If you choose the same icon will it be displayed after you close the properties?
Maybe it’s an icon cache problem, before i sysprep i always make a cleanmgr run with all possible settings enabled to clean the system up.

@tom-elliott Thanks Tom, this said i will give 1.5 a try.

Hi,
my main fog is a vm and my storage node is a physical machine.
I am thinking of giving 1.5 RC6 a try, for this i want to make a backup of my vm.
But is it possible to use 1.5 RC6 mixed with a 1.4.4 Storage Node for some time?
I am a little afraid that basic stuff may not work with the current RC, i am just doing simple deployments and use ad join and snapins.

@avaryan what kind of image do you deploy? (legacy or uefi and which os)
You are forced to use efi for the image, you can’t use legacy. (Surface is efi only)
While you deploy or handle with fog boot stuff you need to disable secure boot.
You can reenable Secure Boot after deployment (no more fog boot stuff).
