Must resist… No ! I’m gonna have to go build a sandpit server now 🙂

Implementing link based server side sorting is not that hard. I’ve done it several times using the codebase in the EQdkp product. Client side sorting is a bit more complex and intensive trying to make it work on multiple browsers and slow computers.

As for recovering image numbers, it’s not a complex task, but does require some SQL queries. There is a very helpful and well-written forum thread about purging unwanted images and renumbering them based on whatever needs you want.

It involves getting the existing imageid, setting it to the new value, and then updating all hosts that had the old value with the new value. Easily doable from phpmyadmin or the command line, if you know basic SQL.

There is no easy way through the FOG UI to update the image numbers, but in FOG 0.33, I think we’ll be able to make custom pages and that’s one I’d gladly contribute to the FOG community.

This might be possible with hooks in the future.

Great idea.

An OU explorer is on the to do list somewhere.

no probs

There is way to do this. I found the answer on this very forum. You essentially modify the PHP code to include the link to the “deploy single snapin” found in the host section. I forget the exact file to modify, but search in this forum, you will find it…

you can do this youself… all you need is VBScript with the MySQL ODBC connector…

Simply “fake” the task into the fog database if the vbscript conditions are met (ie. valid ad user).

I know for some other projects where I needed AD to controll the level of access someone had, I used a field that wasnt in use like title or zip code and used a numbering system 1 to 10 which denoted access levels.

Please feel free to credit me in your VBScripts once its all up and running… 😉

btw: if this part is being reworked it would be nice to have one multicast-group for each job. And not one group for all jobs 😞

Ditto!

Perhaps you know more about this, but a quick look at their site and their 3rd part app integration, it looks like the developers would need access to a Synology system to make this happen. The developers are busy at the moment working on FOG 0.33, and I know that there have been requests to integrate FOG with other tools, such as Spiceworks, but their main focus is on making FOG work well on it’s own. This is an open source project, so feel free to grab a copy of FOG and try your hand at making this into a reality, there might be others on the forums who would be interested in seeing this happen and might be able to help as well. Oh, and if you do decide to go ahead with this we’d love to hear updates on your progress.

Maybe could intergrate User based apps store using AutoIT

Handling UAC

don’t know how feasible it is but would also be good if it stored partition info, ie: Image 1 on server is 27gb, when deployed it is 100mb + 45gb of data

You could go the easy/lame way and just install OCS on the FOG server and then modify the FOG gui to have links for each server into OCS …we did something like that at one job.
