Sleep mode management

Hello,

we are experiencing an issue with workstations that go into sleep mode and appear as 'DISCONNECTED' in the WAPT console's machine inventory. However, I can ping them just fine.

I created a GPO at the machine level to disable sleep mode, but these machines seem to have...

Re: Problem with Ubuntu 24.04 installation


Hello,

good catch! I just realized why Ubuntu 24.04.3 was just released, and the URL indicated in the IPXE script is 24.04.2.

Ubuntu updated the initrd to the corresponding link, so it's a mismatch. I'll check if that's the issue. (I'll try tomorrow)


Hello,

yes, you have...

Re: Problem with Ubuntu 24.04 installation


Hello

, quick question: how much RAM is available on the machine?

https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/1125


Hello,

there is 32GB of RAM on this machine.

Would it be possible for you to test an Ubuntu installation on your end, perhaps?

[SOLVED] Problem with Ubuntu 24.04 installation

Hello,

I was using WAPT Server version 2.6.0.17293 at the end of July and was able to deploy Ubuntu 24.04 without any problems.

I updated WAPT Server to version 2.6.0.17392 and I've just noticed that the Ubuntu deployment fails at the beginning of the installation.
The error is 'Unable...'

Re: WinPE deployment failed at step wgetwads64.exe


Hello Julien,


Hello Denis,

Thank you for your reply. I just tested it by replacing the hybrid setup with a full bind9 setup, and it does indeed work well.

It seems that Samba's internal DNS is causing the problem and isn't behaving correctly...

a few more questions: if using Samba, internal DNS or bind-dlz.
If bind-dlz, with the minimal-responses option or not?

To add to my earlier answer, I just switched to internal DNS, but it didn't change anything regarding my error

Re: WinPE deployment failed at step wgetwads64.exe


Hello

, but I didn't understand.

In which cases does it not work (internal bind9 or forward)?

And in which cases does it work?


Hello,

sorry, I'll try to be clearer :)

When the machine uses the university's DNS servers (134.157.192.1 and 134.157.0.129), the procedure for...

Re: WinPE deployment failed at step wgetwads64.exe


Hello,

I'd like to reproduce the problem here.

Is the machine's DNS server directly your Samba server?

If so, what version is it?


Hello,

yes, the machine I'm deploying points specifically to the Samba domain controller's DNS server.

I specify this in the DHCP configuration...

Re: WinPE deployment failed at step wgetwads64.exe

Hello,

it was a CNAME record (wapt -> pc5079 -> IP), I just changed it to only an A record (wapt -> IP).

I tried clearing the bind DNS cache, but the problem persists.
