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

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.
