this was indeed the culprit! thank you very very much, saved me a big headache! 😄

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why these image drops keeping timing out on the second partition. I’ve even tried a single partition Win7 that I created, still no go. Too many days trying to sort this all out, has to be a better way…

It should only show N/A or hide the column if its not a single partition. Just a suggestion.

If you have recovery partitions which were created by the OEM, then they can cause problems. If you are imaging computers with FOG, you don’t want the recovery partition in most cases. You can’t easily remove it because they try to make it idiot proof and allowing users to delete the recovery partition makes it useless.

I have a bunch of Fujitsu laptops that shipped with the recovery partition and rather than reload Windows 7 from scratch, I used a USB flash drive with GParted to remove the recovery partition and resize/rearrange the rest.

The hostnamechanger performs double duty. It renames the client and joins it to the domain if requested. Also, if a host is a member of the domain and you change the host record, the hostnamechange has to deal with AD to change the host name.

I don’t think a session will not start until all hosts have checked in. Have you made sure this is not the issue?

The image definition is what you actually create with the FOG interface. Basically follow all the steps for creating an image with FOG, just don’t actually create an upload task, and then copy the image files created with PING to the directory specified for the image file.

You will probably need use something like wireshark and look for the packets to see how far they are getting.
it uses UDP port 9 i believe so you may have to allow that to go in your router also.

Also you may want to remember that allowing ip-directed broadcast has the ability to flood your network with broadcast across sub nets unless you put something in place to mitigate that.

You aren’t running any extensions like no script or are you?

I had a similar problem. I merged two Windows 7 partitions (boot and system) because I wanted to use single resizable partition. The image size was over 200Gb. I restarted the computer, ran chkdisk /f twice, defragged, and used FogPrep and… the new image size was 16GB. I’m using version 0.32

unmanaged switches don’t allow switch admins to misconfigure them…

Check the processor statistics on the switches to see if they are overloaded. There may be too many rules, or rules that are invalid or detrimental.

If you are allowed and technically able, backup the running config and then reset the switch to factory settings. If it works without issue, compare the configs until you find the issue.

Hi Robin

I take it you’ve created your new Win7 image and have uploaded it to the server correct? And you’ve associated that new image to the host you’re trying to image and also updated the host os entry to win7 too. If you open the host from the GUI and deploy the image from there what happens?

The stGroupHostID is the hostID, I believe. Look for hostID=12 in the hosts table:
select * from hosts where hostID=12;
See if that host is listed twice in the active tasks on the webpage. You should be able to look up the hostIDs in the hosts table and figure out which ones have “scheduledTasks”.

Solved:
OK, as I said in the last post this is a secondary node with a master storage node for images. I had updated the image and uploaded it directly to the secondary storage node, but the main storage node at the central office still had the previous version of the image. Jus to test I uploaded the image file from the secondary node back up to the main node and tried to multicast again. It worked at it should! Note to self: Always upload to main storage node fresh images and let them replicate down to the secondary nodes at the schools.

Thank you, I sent my email address.

I did get that error and, on a whim, checked permissions on the /images folder. As it turns out, only root had write permissions there. Once I corrected the permissions, all is well. Thanks for the post. Everyone here is great.

I tried that and it still didn’t fix it, very wierd I though

you may be able to chroot/fakeroot with the fog kernel and init.gz, but I am not experienced with that enough to tell you how.

looking at the ubuntu install, it only has language packs for IT, EN, ES, and ZH-HANS. There is a wiki article on [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_translate_FOG[/url]
