@tom-elliott said in FOG (RC12) Settings Exit Types (legacy, efi) will not be saved after change:
Do you have a “tab” called “FOG Boot Settings”? If so, can you try editing from there?
Yes i have:
we can do the remote in when ever you have time, gimme a ping.
Hi,
here is a video of the behaviour, have a look yourself:

@sebastian-roth i am using firefox, i also tried chrome now and it also does not save the options. i won’t try edge and ie is removed on my system for freedom 
@sebastian-roth well, i described why i think that is a bug, there is an update button that implies that it will save changes but it doesn’t, then i found out that i can change the desired values at another place where also is a update button, that update button will save the values.
For me thats personally solved, for FOG from my opinion it’s a bug.

Hi,
i really need to say i hate it without seeing it in action, brave new world!
no more comment.
It just feels like:
FOG! FOG! FOG!

Ok, this did the trick:
Does it make sense that the settings only saved when i update them via iPXE General Configuration > Boot Exit settings while they also been offered by FOG Settings in first manner followed by an “Update” button?
I did not drink, i did not smoke but what the hell am i just to stupid to know?
Solved but with a lot of confusion.

@tom-elliott said in FOG (RC12) Settings Exit Types (legacy, efi) will not be saved after change:
You need to press the expanded tabs update button. Hitting enter will not update the fields as it’s being passed through ajax.
That one? What else should i do to save the settings? I click on that update button but it doesnt really save it.

Hi,
i was just wondering why my change to the default exit types didn’t take effect, after searching for the error i found out that fog isn’t saving the changed settings:
I would like to have refind for efi exit type but i cannot change it.
More detail:
I goto FOG Settings and try to change efi exit type away from exit to refind, i click on “update” and i get:
But anyway the option is still on the old value:
The problem also exists with legacy exit type and i don’t know if that two values are the only ones, i more have the feeling that nothing will be saved.
@Wayne-Workman @george1421 @tom-elliott
May anyone of you has the hint to change the value anyway (sql)?
EDIT: The problem affects every Setting changes, they will not be saved.

Hi,
i removed hdbios from refind.conf, additionally i had to set refind for the specific host, because the main option under fog settings didn’t had a effect after i set it to refind for efi, i still got chainload failed.
After setting it for the specific host to refind the machine will try refind when booting from network but anyway all i see is:
rEFInd - Initializind…
Screenshot:
Machine will stick there forever…
Nothing else is happening.
What can i do?
my refind.conf now only contains “internal” for the scanfor line.
I need to get this work either for legacy and efi, how should my machine exit the fog menu when they are booted by network? By default i let the machines boot after 5 seconds from harddisk when no interaction appears in fog menu.
This is now broken for the most of our systems.
EDIT:
Strange refind is working for an Intel NUC but not for an HP Probook 650 G2. Any ideas? I have a lot of Probook 650 G2’s and only some NUC’s.
FYI: The Probook 650 G2 is has an Intel I219-LM the NUC has an Intel I219-V network card.
I don’t know if my issue is maybe network card related.
@george1421 @Wayne-Workman @tom-elliott
Additional i found a bug, that was causing me to force specific host exit type settings because fog settings doesnt store the change:

@redbob said in Task taking too long time to begin after FOG Menu:
r8169
120 seconds sounds like a timeout (wait) for the initialization of the card.
Hi,
do we talk about the same VL Key or unique OEMs?
You can simply use slmgr to inject a key (/ipk) and activate with (/ato) while having this two liner in a batch triggered as snapin
slmgr /ipk key
slmgr /ato
Is it for already deployed hosts that use a key thats out of amount or would you like to use it for machines deployed in the future?
Regards X23
FYI, while deploying / capturing you are forced to disable secure boot because the kernels are not signed, after deployment / capturing you can enable secure boot if you like (uefi only).

Hi,
i still have issues with the exit modes, when i try refind with efi enabled Computers or Notebooks its luck if they boot from hdd/ssd or not some work some not (chainload failed, press s… reboot in 10 seconds) if the system then reboot they try to boot from network again and the computer need to turned off/on so they can boot normally again.
Thats really bad if i wake system remotely (for example with PDQ Deploy) some of them then are always in a boot loop.
What can i do, how to solve this if one specific mode is not working for this or that system, figure it out for each what works and use the host specific settings sound like a time killer to me.
I am in a mixed environment, older system still use legacy all the newer ones use efi with disabled secure boot.
This is what i get when i try refind with a uefi enabled notebook while secure boot is disabled (HP Probook 650 G2):
For this device neither of the modes work: sanboot, exit, refind all fail. Even when i set the notebook to legacy, uefi (with or without secure boot)
sanboot on efi enabled system loop into fog menu again
exit will bring chainload failed
refind brings the csm error (screenshot)

@sebastian-roth rc12? the fun fact, i spoke today with a collegue because he asked me why i serve 7156.* 
Hi,
not sure but i think i have the same issue with a 1709 image, it’s from the early 1709 days and i am sure that the spectre meltdown fixes are not involved here.
When i have a deployment next days i will try to deploy that image again and will report if i have the same there.

Hi,
@bob-henderson @PDQ guys how do you realize with your lovely pdq deploy to run a process as logged on user?
Is it possible to show me the magic?
I have the following problem, printserver with pdfcreator 1.7.3 running as service, when someone prints a pdf it will directly placed on a client computers share, after this i like to run acrobat reader under the users context with the current created pdf file.
Therefore i need to run the process under the current logged on user context, how can i realize this?

Hi,
you don’t need to if it is win 7/8/8.1/10 and the computer models are the same even the make.
It would typically also work for different makes and models but that isn’t guaranted.
If you would like to be 100% hw independend use sysprep.
