  @kratkale What you see in the text field are place holders, just example views, if you were to hit update/save, those things aren’t what will be set.

  THe reason you see “(varies)” is because the hosts in the group have some things where their host Primary Disk is set, but not all hosts have the same values.

  As for your odd snapin issues please try these commands on the Database:

  delete from snapinAssoc where saSnapinID <= 0; delete from snapinTasks where stSnapinID <= 0;

  As for the domain join issue:

  The “captured” host should not be joined to the domain until after the image has been captured.

  The error you were seeing was joining domain “Code = 87”

  That is not FOG writing an erroneous error, but rather the error from the Domain controller directly.

  This may mean your environment is expecting to be set to a specific OU within the domain?

  https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11971/unable-to-join-domain-error-87

  This is an old (albeit similar) topic with the same type of error you had seen so maybe it’s fix may help your fog client as well?

  This, of course, isn’t strictly necessary, since your snapin method appears to be working anyway.

  As always, please update to the latest and greatest as it should help with the prevention of odd jobs just getting created as well. After you clean up things of course.

  Thank you!

  @JCS-RVK Understood and apologies there’s not a good method around this.

  Thanks for at least understanding. I wonder if some of the similar types of issues we’ve seen historically have a similar style of problem that I’m only coming to realize now-a-days.

  I pulled latest dev-branch version 1.5.10.1856, re-run installer and snapins are working again.

  Thank you very much for help.

  Shoutout “The Minester”

  https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/issues/685

  On the storage node, create a .my.cnf file in root’s home directory:

  sudo tee /root/.my.cnf << ‘EOF’
  [client]
  skip-ssl = true
  EOF

  MariaDB will try to connect with SSL by default but that’s not enabled on the main FOG server. This is why I had to use the --ssl=FALSE flag when I connected to mysql manually.

  The installation succeeded!

  Hello everyone,

  As I work at a secondary school, I was able to get hold of some Catalina iMacs (iMac 14.3).
  I already use FOG to deploy Windows and Linux images on PCs.

  I would like to deploy a LinuxMint image on these iMacs.

  However, I am unable to boot into PXE on them with FOG, and I do not know what is wrong.

  I modified my DHCP server as follows:

  ## FOG class "UEFI-32-1" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00006"; filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-32-2" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00002"; filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-1" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00007"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-2" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00008"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-3" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00009"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "Apple-Intel-Netboot" { match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 14) = "AAPLBSDPC/i386"; option dhcp-parameter-request-list 1,3,17,43,60; if (option dhcp-message-type = 8) { option vendor-class-identifier "AAPLBSDPC"; if (substring(option vendor-encapsulated-options, 0, 3) = 01:01:01) { # BSDP List option vendor-encapsulated-options 01:01:01:04:02:80:00:07:04:81:00:05:2a:09:0D:81:00:05:2a:08:69:50:58:45:2d:46:4f:47; } elsif (substring(option vendor-encapsulated-options, 0, 3) = 01:01:02) { #BSDP Select option vendor-encapsulated-options 01:01:02:08:04:81:00:05:2a:82:0a:4e:65:74:42:6f:6f:74:30:30:31; # filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; filename "snp.efi"; } } } class "Legacy" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00000"; filename "undionly.kkpxe"; } ### END FOG

  I tested ipxe.efi in 64-bit and 32-bit, as well as snp.efi, but it still doesn’t work. I get some kind of spinning planet when I try to boot.

  I admit I don’t fully understand the documentation page: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOG_on_a_MAC

  Thanks in advance!

  I’ve updated my FOG to the stable release and also updated my script with the following three lines, and everything’s fine – the database has been backed up successfully, it’s perfect!

  fogApiToken="XYZ=" fogUsrToken="ZYF" curl -ik -X GET "http://$fogServerAddress/fog/system/export" -H "fog-api-token: $fogApiToken" -H "fog-user-token: $fogUsrToken" -o $backupDir/mysql/fog.sql 2>>$backupDir/logs/error.log 1>>$backupDir/logs/progress.log 2>&1

  Thanks again for all your hard work on the FOG project!
