Possibility to change boot menu?

[jscholtysik]

Hi,

first of all: We are testing Snap Deploy 2.0 for a customer of us. If all is going well, the customer will buy some licenses of Snap Deploy and Universal Deploy (around 150 licenses each)... :)

We have successfully created an image and are also able to deploy this image across multiple subnets usind a workaround. But after the deployment the client hangs in the bootmenu at every start... :-[


Is there a possibility to change the bootmenu of the PXE Server so that the user can normally start his workstation all times?

At the time there are 3 options:

- Snap Deploy Agent
- Image Creator
- Windows

We would like to have an option to say that Windows shall automatically start within 2-5 second and not the Deploy Agent or the Image Creator...

Does such a solution already exist to change the bootmenu?


Thanks in advance.

[Edit]

We found a solution by ourselves. Here is the possible sourcecode of the new bootwiz.cfg:

[C1]
VGA VESA
MBRCRCS ON
INITRD F1.BIN /S
KERNEL F2.BIN quiet
[C2]
VGA VESA
MBRCRCS ON
INITRD F3.BIN /S
KERNEL F4.BIN quiet
[continue]

sysboot /active

[bootmgr]
echo Druecken Sie F11 fuer das Acronis Boot-Menu...
default continue
delay 20
bootmenu 389
quiet on

With this bootwiz.cfg it is possible to get a message "Druecken Sie F11 für das Acronis-Menu" at startup. When the user hits F11, the user comes to the Acronis Menu, when the user does not hit F11, Windows continues to start... 8)
