Ok after a "full registration" he also does not want deploy automatically... After successful registration, pc just reboot and boot into hdd. Is there a command, to redirect the next boot to PXE? Or a possibility not to reboot after registration but directly start Partclone?

I've got several rooms with pc's with old images; i would like to automate the hole process. WOL into PXE -> Quick Reg (automatic selection) -> Deploy image with FOG Client preinstalled -> drink delicious jasmin tee

The short answer is to pxe boot on the next reboot, that is dependent on your firmware. I know with Dell and the CCTK you can set the flag to pxe boot on the next boot.

With that said, I believe I helped someone before hack the quick registration script to image directly after quick image without rebooting. I don't think I turned it into a tutorial because it seemed like a one off issue. Let me see if I can find it. The solution was pretty simple to update the registration file to jump into imaging after registration.
