Introduction

FOG is a free open-source cloning/imaging solution/rescue suite. FOG can be used to image Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Window 8, and Windows 10 PCs using PXE, PartClone, and a Web GUI to tie it together. Includes features like memory and disk test, disk wipe, av scan, task scheduling, inventory management, and remote installation of software packages. Features can be triggered remotely from the web GUI, once the machine has been registered.
