The school district I used to work for, we had about 15 servers on 15 different subnets. All of them were tied together to a central server, and we used the location plugin. I’m the guy that set all of that up.

If you have 17 sites - one lonely little storage node won’t cut it. In the summer when all the technicians are imaging everything non-stop, you will fall behind because it won’t keep up with the pace you need. You need to run a storage node at each site and tie them all to a central server - and use the location plugin.

@x23piracy That is not the subdomain. All of the “fogproject” sites use the same certificate:

0_1484135018924_upload-8647c6e3-5e97-4503-8eb4-6e079edc8c55

The fact that you’re secure, then not, leads me to think it’s something with firefox itself telling you funny information.

Well we have run FOG on xen (it is not the Citix xenserver product) for years. Currently on 1.2 but just today made a copy of the VM to upgrade to 1.3 (We need Vista and to a lesser degree XP). We use it to process old PCs going out the door, DBAN wipe, Bios updates, asset tag removal, and imaging with the OEM OS. We have probably processed over 5,000 PCs (and some Macs, different story) over the years.

Do you have specific questions or just researching?

Tom & JJ,

Thank you for your help. I will make changes to batch script and add full path to networkdrive and modify my script as you both suggested. On last Friday before going home. I un-installed the FOG client on PC , re-installed it and my batch script was there. I waited for about 1/2 hours to see if this file gets deleted from C:\Program Files\FOG\temp folder but it was still there. I will follow your suggestions and let to you know.

Thanks,
Olduser

@Tom-Elliott

What do you mean by maybe incorrect image path? images havent changed location. Those files are there since months. From creation up to now.

Please tell me about the second option. I must admit that maybe i am underinformed about the need of imaging. New disc comes in (unboxed, etc, installed into box, cables, etc etc). Does it need to have preset partiotion table to deploy images onto it? I mean up to now i was not aware if it is a must before new image come to deployed.

Please tell me what do you mean by that you told.

I restored this thread because it can help others. No question is too stupid to ask.

Ok then, that’s two. All that are interested please join this forums group:

Being a member of that group means you’ll get email notifications about upcoming FOG Hangouts. I’m going to work on getting hangout 5 together.

This isn’t done yet but it will likely help you:

@Olduser said in Snapin not working properly:

(1) Do I have to select ‘Reset Encryption Data’ on host because once I reset encryption data, the snapin works quickly.

That only seldom needs done, it’s for when the encryption between the server and host gets screwed up. The intention is for the encryption to not auto-heal thus putting the admin in charge. Because if it auto-healed this would be a vulnerability that could be exploited.

As a rule of thumb though, before I do anything concerning a single host or large groups in fog, I reset the encryption on that host/group prior to deploying my work. This seems to make things go a lot more smoothly but it might not be best practice. Maybe the @Senior-Developers can weigh in on why we need to reset encryption so often.

(2) Can I combine ‘/i and /c’ for Snapin Run With Argument? I am using Normal Snapin.

Try it first. At the bottom of the snapin area, you’ll see the sanpin command. If you take your snapin file and put it in a directory on your computer, and then cd from an elevated command prompt to that directory, and then run this snapin command, it will run just as the FOG Client would run it, minus running as the SYSTEM user.

(3) What arguments should be for ‘Snapin Arguments’? I put /qn. Is this correct? I could not find these arguments value.

Whatever you need them to be. For instance, with Smartboard Drivers and SmartNotebook you can pass the license key as an argument. For Faronics Insight you can pass the channel number. For an old typing program called MicroType you can pass the server address. You are not limited in what you can pass or how many things. Fog will use what you put in there, but if it’ll work or not with the file your pushing is entirely dependent on the exact thing your pushing. Read about deployment strategies on the vendor’s site and look for examples. Also, any error codes in the C:\fog.log file after a snapin runs is not an error from FOG or the FOG Client, the error code is from the program you ran with snapins.

Does this make sense? Feel free to ask more questions.

I personally only create tasks from the host management and group management area.

But, there are a whole lot of ways to start tasks.

@KnightRaven What if you uncomment the “dhcp-no-override” and restart?

Thanks, that what I was wondering.

@Tom-Elliott Oh, I somehow missed that. Nevermind then. -y does it all.

@Olduser said in Windows 7 64 bits image:

Again I like to thank all of you for doing wonderful work.

so true 😉

Also all FOG snapins are completely unattended. So are FOG Printers.

Sweet! That’s all I needed. Thanks for the info and the quick response!

@Wayne-Workman OMG no 🙂 but i could be some… I know that old discussions… it’s an image solution. I only share what my crank mind is dreaming about 😉
