Okay so I have tried 2 methods. One sending from the fog.man.reg and the other sending from fog.inventory.
At this point I am trying everything. I am only sending a couple variables as a test , once it works i will send as many as possible.
My fog.man.reg
fog.man.reg.txt
My fogmailer.php
fogmailer.txt
My fog.inventory
fog.inventory.txt
@george1421 Hi George
I have tried the above mentioned method, but I am still stuck.
I have changed the fog.man.reg also to ask a couple of questions and deleted questions I did not need. I have assigned two questions to the variables other1 and other2.
When I send the information to my own PHP page in the root directory the information is blank.
When I try view the variables by editing the fog.inventory file is also displays as blank.
My PHP page does send the information via email, the problem is that it is blank or comes across “encrypted?” .
I know the question seems very vague.
@george1421 Thank you so much for this. I will dig further into this.
I wanted to ask is there a way to edit the host registration process ? As in when you register the host to run the following line of code : sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM to get the license key and send this along with the machine specs to an email address ?
Hi Guys,
I have been using Fog now for about 2 months, still learning every day :D
I wanted to ask I have a master node with remote storage nodes, I am using the my fog setup for people to bring in old machines to be re-imaged remotely. The idea is the end user plugs in his computer PXE boots, then his license key and current OS information along with his computer specs is extracted after inputting, the following: their name and generated code and this will set-off a process which install the correct OS that the have installed with their license key activated.
So my question is this, Is this possible to do ? Is it possible to run a powershell script at the PXE menu level ? How can i remotely deploy an image to there machine? Without registration onto the system?
Currently I have a WinPE environment that they boot into and from there I remote in and run the install from there. Is there a way to remotely force a machine into a PXE boot selecting a certain image ?
Kind regards
Hi Guys,
Has anyone tried a Squid proxy integration into fog ? Ie. the Squid proxy caching into a fog server environment ?
The reason behind it , is that Apple says the new T2 chip will not support pxe deployment or even USB. So thinking out the box as it requires an internet connection to re-install , is to setup a Squid proxy cache the files from Apple and then in the future deploy from Fog .
Let me know what you think
@george1421 Okay so I figured it out … The problem was the ISO, to a degree.
The ISO was made through WINPE10 builder and used G4D.
I then found a couple examples online with iPXE and followed the instructions. I downloaded wimboot , copied the BCD and BOOT.SDI file to the root http: directory.
I then ran the following and it works:
kernel http://192.168.100.160/windows/10Pro-x64/wimboot/wimboot
initrd http://192.168.100.160/windows/10Pro-x64/Boot/bcd BCD
initrd http://192.168.100.160/windows/10Pro-x64/Boot/boot.sdi boot.sdi
initrd http://192.168.100.160/windows/10Pro-x64/sources/boot.wim boot.wim
initrd http://192.168.100.160/windows/10Pro-x64/bootmgr.exe bootmgr.exe
imgstat
boot
Thank you again for your help
Thank you George for replying,
So the image is transferred over then it boots straight into G4D.
What I did is use Winpe Builder to create my ISO and from there I used the ISO it created to boot in to.
What I am trying to achieve is create my own bootable image with certain apps running on it and boot directly into a live image of it.
Hi Guys
I am stuck. I have a Windows10 PE bootable ISO that I have created and it I have followed the following tutorial to create a bootable menu entry :
But everytime I boot to the ISO I get taken to the Grub4DOS.
I am new to this so please be gentle :D
Here is my menu item command below:
initrd nfs://192.168.100.160:/images/Windows/WIN10.ISO
chain memdisk iso raw
boot || goto MENU
