This is excellent because you can customize and change the look of fog without actually changing the base code of FOG and “shouldn’t” break when updating FOG or at least be easy to re-implement your changes rather than hard coding them back in.

The registry hack works fine for 7, as far as I know. But it won’t help for sid/AD integration obviously 😉

[quote=“timcough, post: 11851, member: 40”]I have suggested the following in a different thread to allow a single snapin to be sent to multiple computers:

Add the following lines to the groups section of tasks.advanced.include.php:

[PHP]<tr>
<td class=“c”><a href=“?node=tasks&type=group&direction=onesnap&noconfirm=<?php print $groupid; ?>”><img src=“./images/snap.png” /><p><?php print _(‘Deploy Single Snapin’); ?></p></a></td>
<td><p><?php print _(‘This option allows you to send one of the snapins to the group without imaging the computers. (Requires FOG Service to be installed on client)’); ?></p></td>
</tr>[/PHP][/quote]

Thank you SO MUCH for this code. It has made snap-in deployment much easier. Has anyone figured out a way to make snap-in groups? It would be terrific to be able to put a number of snapins into a group for deployment to certain machines. ie. all 32 bit machines get a certain group of snapins, while 64 bit get a different group, etc.

Yeah, this is where the host CSV import comes in handy to migrate hosts. you could even export the inventory SQL table and import that into 0.33 aswell

If you want help, let me know.[/quote]

I may take you up on that in the near future. Involving FOG in my department’s three year plan, and I need to have full UEFI support. Long story short I would love to start experimenting with the 0.33 branch and UEFI. I’ve got other projects I need to finish first though.

I would really like to implement this solution as well, any chance of getting a complete tut?

That will get messy when I have more than 16 stations, but that sounds like it is what I need, thanks!

As I stated, I have gotten this working finally.

I figured it out and it took a lot of work. Hopefully it’s something that’s needed. Next phase to hopefully get multicast working.

well… if the user wanted to use bittorrent sync an easy way to avoid hassle would be to have a way of just turning off the current replication system. As long as the permissions will be correct in the folder then the images should just sync across.

The user would have to generate their own key and tell bittorrent sync where to sync the images.

I suppose the biggest advantage would be many to many replication. I would have to check if bittorrent sync can take parts of files from different hosts but at a minimum if you had 10 images and were putting in your 11th host… you could get away with transferring one image from each of the others. which could save you a ton of time if your doing things over a WAN.

Is there currently a way to easily disable replication and i’ll throw a couple of VMs on 0.33b and see if I can make it do something.

Does your wake button work for groups as well as hosts 🙂

Being able to boot up an entire lab for imaging all at once would save you even more time.

in the archive U can find:

From personal experience in work… avoid Toshiba laptops like the plague. Cheap tacky, and if you want to get WoL working, forget it. Our department was budgeted a small amount to buy 300… they went with C660’s, MUCH to my dismay and expressed objections… we have other models too and they’re mostly all the same… AVOID!

Though its slightly aged have you gotten this figured out? I suppose a little research could be done but I think you could do:
apt-get build-dep build root
But don’t quote me as I don’t use Debian based OS.
If you need help I’ll try where I can.

It did take me a good few minutes to work out how to deploy multicast, I’ve not tried your changes but it does sound like an improvement. Maybe something that could be implemented in the new version.

Hi,

Thank you nice idea, will try this 🙂
