    Hi,

    I am testing FOG server 1.6 (latest) to use in our PC labs. Installed Windows 10 and all the required apps to the one of the PC’s (MMF-LAB2-00). Then imported all hosts with a simple CSV file (MAC,HOST NAME). Then installed latest fog-agent and approved it in FOG server UI. So far so good. I created a capture task and captured the image from the host MMF-LAB2-00. Then created a deployment task for the remaining PC’s. Deployments also worked without any problem.

    The problem is after a few minutes, there appeared a popup messages on the desktops that is saying FOG agent will rename the computer with the name “MMF-LAB2-00”. And all the PC’s rebooted with the name MMF-LAB2-00 insted of their names on FOG server, MMF-LAB2-01, 02, 03 etc.

    So what am I doing wrong here? Is sysprep mandatory for fog client? Why the fog agent does not poll the name that is matched with its MAC address in FOG UI?

    Regards,

    Rahman

    @ahaeder No:

    The idea of fog client is to rename the host based on what you name the computer within FOG, not the other way around.

    If you want it to be a specific name, and you have the FOG Client installed, set the wanted name in the FOG UI, and the host will change automatically.

    @Valer I think we need to understand what this plugin is doing.

    CSS isn’t something we’ve allowed to be injectable though it could be.

    You can still use your own CSS but that’s more at the FOG Configuration -> FOG Setting -> FOG_THEME, but you would need to put it on your server in a location you type the path too here.

    https://docs.fogproject.org/en/latest/development/plugin-development

    This is a good toolkit for understanding how to build your own plugin.
