Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to install a virtual machine on the machine dedicated to the WAPT server, in order to install a FOG server (via Hyper-V, for example). Are there any services that would be necessary for FOG but might conflict with the proper functioning of WAPT?

No, it's not supported. The WAPT nginx configuration is already complex enough without adding to it.

A VM costs nothing; you shouldn't mix services.

Regards,

Denis

Okay, so it's best to put the fog server on a machine separate from the WAPT server. Thanks

That said, if you're using the WAPT Enterprise version, you can perform the initial workstation installation with WADS. WADS is for initial installation, like Microsoft MDT, unlike FOG which handles imaging (disk copying). There are a few cases where FOG is more suitable, but in the vast majority of cases, the MDT-style installation is much better and far more flexible.

Sincerely,

Denis

Okay. We're not using the enterprise version. I'll test with Fog first. I don't quite see the difference between what you call initial installation and disk copying. Currently, I'm using cloning with Acronis and Sysprep pre-launched in the image. My idea is to be able to clone faster by using Ethernet (PXE) instead of inserting an Acronis key and an external hard drive.
