@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.

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 😉

Regards X23

Applause 🙂

George is right. The devs have made strides in supporting upgraded systems where all sorts of things are off/wonky due to migration not being perfect. That said, most people fail at this process because it’s perhaps beyond their skill level to fix, and when they ask for help on the forums, we have to start from zero with troubleshooting because it could be anything if it’s not obvious, and there have been a lot that haven’t been obvious fixes. I’d always recommend a clean build as George said.

Forum maintenance moving to General Topics / General

@Joe-Schmitt
Thanks for your answer.
But yesterday it didn’t works even i reset encryption data. I had to install manually the new client version

can we see a client log from a non updating client please?

I had the same issue, reset encryption but it client did not auto update. My fix was the GPO to install the new client as mentioned earlier.

I got an authentication error on the log.

Was just looking to see if i uploaded an error log on my old posts

Many thanks, and appologies as I was away from the forum for a week. I will try your suggestion and update the results here.

@Tom-Elliott
Thanks - looks like that might work, as the interface name shows up on the graph now. I won’t know until I do some fogging. Thanks!

@george1421 +1 for a wiki page. This is really useful stuff and I only found out about it when coming onto the forums and talking with George. Without the forums, I wouldn’t have ever found this out/get it working.

Just returning here to let everyone know that, I don’t fail due to it, but the messages will report as Fail/Done depending on the status for the removal bits and pieces.
