I use to, had no issue.
I now use turnkey LAMP distribution for fog server deployments, has webmin preinstalled. All works fine

@Wayne-Workman

I have to take back, what I said earlier.
When I first tried to migrate the database, I apparently did something wrong while exporting the db, because the size of the dump wasn’t nearly as big as it is now, when I tried it again. I now was able to successfully import the database and I have hosts, image definitions and users showing up properly in the web interface.

The next step is to perform all of this on my actual FOG server, as this was only a test with a VM.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Many thanks for your reply.
I think, for the beginning, i will try the Quazz’s advice.

I will post my experience in this topic later …

@Wayne-Workman

Of course. I’ll keep you updated with my progress.

@asbenavides I can say these commands install Acrobat Reader DC very well. I don’t use snapins so you may need to translate that into snapin format. We use a different tool, but we deploy using the following commands in a batch file.

start /wait msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart start /wait msiexec.exe /i FontPack1500720033_XtdAlf_Lang_DC.msi ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart

There is a tool “adobe acrobat dc customization wizard” that allows you to customize the Acro Reader install (which creates the transform file used in the above command). It lets you accept the eula, makes customization to the reader install there are quite a few guides on the internet for this, just search. For example: http://www.itninja.com/software/adobe/reader-6/dc
We throw in the APAC font pack file because we do interact with Asian countries.

@lebrun78 said in Choising a storage management:

if i rename /images to /imagesold and create a new /images where is mount //fog032/images and then copy the contents of /imagesold to the new /images, it should works, no ?

It will work. I’ve done a lot of stuff like this before. Dedicating an entire physical partition on a physical disk is the simple way to go about it but it’s not exactly flexible by design. LVM solves those problems. If you’re using logical volume groups and logical volumes, you don’t have to do all of that mess you were talking about (transferring, renaming), you just add space to the volume group, then the logical volume.

Possible solution…

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:
