![]() We are now going to make a ‘capture taks’ for this host. You have now associated the Windows 10 image with this host. Then click on ‘Update’ in on the bottom of the screen. Don’t worry about that now as we will only use this host for capturing an image.įor the ‘Host Image’ drop-down box, choose the image you’ve just created. Now to go ‘Host Management’ -> ‘List All Hosts’ and click on the machine you just have registered:įor now, the machine name is it’s MAC address. The image will be a copy of the complete harddisk and all partitions on the harddisk will be captured and deployed. The goal of this step is that you are registering a new image in Fog (you can use manage multiple images). Give the new image a name and leave the chosen options as they are, and clik on ‘Add’. Log in on the Fog Web UI and go to ‘Image Management’ -> ‘Create New Image’: You’ll see some text scrolling on the screen as Fog registeres the host: It means that the host is not known by Fog.įor capturing an image, you need the host to be registered, so choose ‘Quick registration and inventory’. In red you see the the statement that the host is NOT registered. The default, ‘boot from hard disk’ is chosen in 3 seconds, so be quick. Use your arrow keys to move the selection up and down. Then you will be presented with the Fog boot menu: The PXE client on the machine then gets the ipxe.pxe image via TFTP ![]() The PXE client on the machine brings up the network link and via DHCP an IP address is requested. In the screenshot above you see a successful network boot: Plug in a cabled ethernet connection and in the BIOS, make sure the machine boots from the network. Now that the machine is ready to capture the image from, it is time to boot it from the network. ![]() We’re assuming here that you have a running FOG server, that you are able to log in on the FOG Web UI. Install the FOG client on it: after deployment, the FOG client takes care of additional tasks, like changing the host name, install additional applications, install printers, etc. Install additional programs and drivers that you want to include in the imageĬonfigure specific Windows settings, like regional settings ![]() For a Windows machine this typically means that you have done the following:ĭownloaded a Windows installer ISO that you copied onto DVD or USB driveīoot the machine with the DVD/USB drive and install Windows with the options you want Prerequisites ¶īefore capturing the image, you need to make sure that the machine is ‘ready to image’. In this guide we will capture and deploy an image of a Windows 10 machine on older hardware that has a BIOS (and not UEFI hardware), but the process for a UEFI machine is almost similar. The purpose of this guide is to show you the process of capturing an image and deploy it on other hardware with help of FOG. With ‘capturing an image’ we mean that you will make a copy of the contents on a hard disk of a machine that you want to duplicate on other machines. After installing a FOG server, one of the first tasks you’ll do is to capture an image. ![]()
