@george1421 Hello,
This feature is still highly asked to me about our FOG Deployment in our company. Do you mind giving me more informations about how can I achieve to boot my WIM / ISO image with a Fog Task ?

@george1421 said in Can't start my WinPE WIM image from a Task:

To fix the issue will require a change in the FOG php code.

Okay, is it something achievable ? booting an ISO of WIM with a task ? I have nearly 0 knowledges in PHP but I don’t mind modifying my FOG instances for this. All my team is asking for this feature.

Hello @Tom-Elliott and @george1421,

I’m trying to send you a message explaining everything but my post is flagged as spam and it doesn’t explain why. I also struggled with this with my first post I had to split it in multiples messages to make it work
Here is my message on a pastebin note : https://markdownpastebin.com/?id=1617a812e23947de85120620b19b0bed

If needed here is the screenshot of what’s happening when booting on my task:

@csa Did you had success making your own custom task type ?

@george1421 Do you boot on MDT with en iPXE entry or did you make a new Task Type for it ?

I attempted to create a Task Type Entry with the following configuration:

Kernel: http://ip_address/isoimg/wimboot
Kernel Arguments: boot

Init:

http://ip_address/isoimg/x64/Boot/BCD BCD
http://ip_address/isoimg/x64/Boot/boot.sdi boot.sdi
-n boot.wim http://ip_address/isoimg/LiteTouchPE_x64.wim boot.wim

Type: None
However, when I try to execute this task, I encounter the following error when booting on my task

"Running post init scripts... Done
An error has been detected
Init version: 20231208
Fatal Error: Unknown Request type :: Null

Kernel variables and settings:
bzImage loglevel=4, initrd=init.xz, root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=27500
[...]

Hello,
I’m currently trying to replicate my existing iPXE Menu Entry into a Task Type using the Task Type Edit Plugin. However, this is my first time attempting such a task, and I couldn’t find examples online to guide me.

Here’s the working iPXE Menu Entry that I’m trying to replicate:

Name: fog.litetouch64

Parameters:

kernel http://ip_address/isoimg/wimboot
initrd http://ip_address/isoimg/x64/Boot/BCD BCD
initrd http://ip_address/isoimg/x64/Boot/boot.sdi boot.sdi
initrd -n boot.wim http://ip_address/isoimg/LiteTouchPE_x64.wim boot.wim
boot

Boot Options: None

This entry successfully boots my LiteTouchPE WIM image. However, I want to automate the process to boot it on multiple machines simultaneously.
Additionally, I noticed that existing Task Type Entries often have empty fields, and even my entry had its “Kernel Arguments” field cleared after saving.

If anyone has the correct documentation or any guidance on how to properly use this plugin, I would greatly appreciate your help.
