Hi @Quazz
I don’t have any PXE boot feature on these tablets, that’s why I am using the FOS built by george. And the issue is related to the MAC address attached to the USB network adapter I am using. So each terminal will be recognized as the previous one and I cannot choose what image to deploy (because it has been registered to use that image the first time I have used the adapter).
That’s why I’d prefer to explore the wifi workflow instead.
Thank you for the support.
Regards.

Network adapter:
Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3165

Thank you.

@george1421 Hi george,
Exactly, I do not need to manage the tablets once I have imaged or re-imaged them.
Can I have more more info about this ‘load & go’ project?
And also, our image should be very thin (approx 5~7 GB) so using the wifi shouldn’t be an issue - also, the tablets have all the same HW specs - this can change like in 2/3 years time, so probably I will need to upgrade the process in the future.
Thank you for your support guys.

Hi george,
Thanks for your reply.
Damn, that was not my aim. I usually need to re/image 10 tablets at the same time, so I cannot rely on the below workflow.
What if I go back to the wifi process?
Is the FOS gonna to work with the wifi adapter instead?
Thank you for your reply.

@george1421 Hi guys,
after a DHCP installation and configuration, I was able to capture my first image from one of these tablet.
I have therefore notified that when I register a new one using the same usb stick with FOS (provided by george), Fog tells me the host is already registered…I tried anyway to re-image the device an it worked, but I have 3 different images to capture.
What’s gonna happen?
Another question is, the snapin stuff…how is this supposed to work? Still with FOS or I can use the FOG Client in the Windows environment?
Thank you for your support guys.
Best regards.

@george1421 I have followed this guide: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6532/usb-boot-target-device-into-fog-os-live-fosl-for-debugging/22
but it’s not working. I have a linux CLI at the end. I think I am running into network configuration /dhcp /issues.
@george1421
I didn’t get your reply, sorry.
The CPU is an ATOM x5-28300 4 cores (x86)
BIOS Mode: UEFI
Secure Boot State: Off
(I am following the guide to build a FOS image)
I have got the USB hub so I will try.
I will keep you posted.
Thank you for your info.

Hi @Sebastian-Roth , thanks for your reply.
The tablets are Linx/Exspect 1020N and they use UEFI platforms.
@george1421 can you help me with the USB stick creation and to image the tablets over the WIFI?
Thank you for your time.
Best regards.

Hello guys,
I love this project.
I have Linx/Exspect tablets to re-image.
I can register the hosts using the client (win service) and a separate wi-fi network.
I am not be able to capture or deploy any image, because the tablet reboot, but there is no PXE in the BIOS.
Have you got any suggestion on the above?
Have you got any working workflow on tablet without cabled network adapter?
Thank you for your time.
