You can import your hosts in host management and then click on upload hosts.

Becuase fog uses NFS protocol, you will have to setup up your XP box to setup an NFS share, so fog can mount to your XP box.

I thought M$ blew the comp out of the water, but saying that I would love to get my hands on a copy of uncharted 2! Did anyone see it running? WOW!!!

Yes you can import them using a csv file

You need to specifiy the TFTP server ip adress and boot file - 1. Open DHCP configuration Start > Administrative Tools > DHCP. 2. Then expand your server, expand the applicable scope (often only one is there) 3. right click on Scope Options 4. click Configure Options 5. tick 066 and enter the IP Address of the FOG server 6. tick 067 and enter pxelinux.0 (thats a zero). 7. Make sure that 060 is unticked.

nameserver 192.168.8.1 nameserver 192.168.8.2

Sorry, yes apt is the debian based updater!

Do you have your DNS servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf ?

try - apt-get install php apt-get install php-mysql apt-get install php-gd apt-get install php-cli

I too had no problems with ubuntu 8.04 LTS or 8.10

run the following commands as the root user - yum install php yum install php-mysql yum install php-gd yum install php-cli then run the fog installer.

Beautiful name! Congrats!!!

Look here

It joins a client to the active directory domain using the computer name and credentials on the fog server. It does take a bit of tweaking to get it to work though! It uses netdom on the client so we install Windows XP Support Tools on our images. It also requires an encrypted domain password and a modified dll file. You can find out how to do this on the wiki

Ubuntu 8.10 Server here!

Totally agree, Active Directory integration is brilliant, most of the other client features are great aswell e.g. green fog. The best open source software package around!

iTalc will do what you need. Also give Netsupport School a look.

Yes but is it normal for when you upload to the server for the data copied to stop and start, by the way I am only testing this on an Celeron 2.8Ghz, 512MB RAM, 100MBPS NIC! Just incase this is part of the issue!

Yes I did but the upload of the image took a long time as it kept stopping and starting in the save partition to image file and in the Task Management it says the the task is queued?

Just used fog for the first time, I am very impressed with the features! I took an image of a Dell Optiplex 330 and then I deployed it back and now Windows XP wont boot. It just has the usual XP loading screen and then reboots! Has anyone had this before or can anyone shed some light! Is this just a poor image!

Yeah really easy, Just create the .bgi file and pop it in netlogon with the exe and your bitmap and use it as a startup script. And hey presto!!!

Adito SSL VPN - We use it here on Ubuntu Server.

You could use BGINFO, just use pop it in netlogon and use it as a startup script. You can use it to display usernames etc... aswell.

Correct...

Me and the gaffer!!!
