“Practical IT with Jeremy Leik”
New for March 2023 is FOG 1.5.10. After more than two years, there is a fresh version of FOG for your enjoyment. This video shows the capture and deploy functions. Future videos will go through a full install and setup of FOG including the changes you need to make on a Unify system to enable PXE…

Thanks for watching everybody! I'm excited to take this series in a few new directions now that we have a new version to work with.
Super handy video. I'm very fresh to utilizing imaging and have a use case that need help with Fog/Windows imaging. Would love to chat and see if it's something that may be worth making a video for.
You may have a video out, so pardon my ignorance. I would love to see how to take a windows iso and boot a new machine from it. ALSO I would love to see creating custom menus. By that I mean boot to a single "image" that has menus to choose to boot from a Windows ISO or a "Tools" ISO (you know, like gparted clonezilla and the such) and a linux iso. That would be fantastic and I pretty sure very helpful for many others that are researching and finding out about the FOG project.
I like the video, you get to the point without a lot of fluff! Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
This is close to what I am looking for but not close enough I am looking for something like ggrock/ccboot/ishare disk but without the costs, Dose fogproject have the functionality to work in an love environment not for deploying to hard drives etc, However you might know something else that I could potentially use?
will be wery helpful to see the save workflow, but for windows. 10 ans 11 have trail period
Good evening! I captured the Windows 11 image and everything went smoothly. Then, I followed all the steps to deploy this image to another client PC with the same configurations. However, the client PC reaches the deployment screen and completes normally. But when trying to start Windows 11 on this PC, it doesn’t boot successfully. It’s generating the error 0xc000014c …..and no boot the OS…..What’s happining? Please….
Is there a way to join a workstation to a domain without having to use the agent? Something similar to what can be done with WDSMDT(script)? I would just like to create tasks and have deployments auto join as they run. All I've seen on YT is that you have to install the FOG agent to do this. Thank you for your vids!
good night jeremy
You can do a tutorial explaining how to configure the LDAP plugin. How to configure using AD or OpenLDAP?
Thank you very much
very nice system, basically it replaces what used to be Redhat Satellite (spacewalk) and Cobbler server.
Hi Jeremy thankyou
Thanks for the good information, Sarge.
Would it be practical to put the FOG server on the internet for multiple locations? For example, I want to manage 30 PCs of Atlanta and NYC online, and install FOG on a Vultr bare metal server? Would this idea be possible, in terms of connections or security?
Thanks for the helpful video. Please make videos about capturing Mac computers and how to prep fog to work with them.
Thank you sir for your efforts to make such wonderful videos. 🙏
Just curious, what is the upgrade path from 1.5.9?
What distro do you recommend for Fog installation?
If you could show how to change compilers to get that UEFI fog screen that would be very helpful as i tried to set it up but getting a error when PXE to FOG right after bizimage and init.xz
Wow! FOG has been updated. I am going to dust off my fog server and update. I'm glad to see some movement on this again.
This looks good Jeremy. I am not too familiar with the initial setup of it though. Thanks.
hello can you please include in your installation video a full configuration of a truenas storage node there is not even a single normal tutorial about it
Thanks for sharing this video.
I think FOG is an under-appreciated technology. People don't seem to know it exists, much like they are unware of Proxmox, though recently I'm seeing more references to Proxmox.
Back in the early 2000s, I had cobbled together something similar using softwarre from the University of Geneva called MRBATCH, but it was nowhere as slick as FOG.
I think every system administrator should be aware of this FOG project. It saves so much time when setting up machines.
Very good and clear explanation of how FOG works.
Thanks for posting must re-setup my Fox server. 🙂
Going to Image a Few small windows Machines. and Deploy them if need to be Re-Deplyed etc.
How does FOG store the images? I am curious if you can move images between servers.
