  Hi George, Thank you for your reply. The host computer is Linux Mint 19.1 running as a virtual machine in VirtualBox on a Windows 10 host. So I guess that would make the boot manager Grub2?

  @xburnerx00 Sorry for the delay! It’s a topic that I need time to work on and I didn’t have much of continuous time to focus on this. I totally understand that you’d like FOG to remove printers from a PC again. Did you use “FOG Managed Printers” or “Only Assigned Printers” in the settings. Both should remove printers that are not assigned to the host. That said I understand that you are in doubt as using the PrinterManagementHelper left you with an undeleteable printer and the fog-client wouldn’t even create your printer in the first place. I have just spun up a test setup and cannot replicate any of the issues. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying there aren’t any problems with printer management but I can’t see them in my setup yet. I have a Windows 10 1803 install, working as normal user (not Admin), assigned printers in the webUI were created properly and also removed when I unassigned the printer for this post. As well I tested the PrinterManagementHelper, printer was created and I could also delete the printer (Right click -> delete) without any notice or issue. So I guess there is a lot we have to dig up first before we can address the issues. Let’s start by comparing the setups. Which version of Windows do you have and is the account you are working on an Administrator or normal user account? I can imagine this being caused But this task is not as trivial as you might guess. E.g. when you remove a printer from the list of printers for one particular computer we’d need to keep track of this in the background to be able to do the removal on the client PC itself. We

  @virtualdxs After some intense digging I may have found out how to fix the issue, though I am still not absolutely sure why this fails on some Mono installations but works on others and on Windows. Seems like newer Mono versions do some more validity checking on the certificates that are in the store and don’t return the FOG CA certificate for us. I found a quick way to read the full certificate store and manually match the one we are looking for. That’s not a perfect solution but it’s enough to give it a try and see if I am on the right track with this. I tested this on CentOS 7 and it works with a fixed fog-client library. See below. Download Zazzles.zip (36.0 KB), extract the Zazzles.dll, stop FOGService (Windows Services management console), rename C:\Program Files (x86)\FOG\Zazzles.dll and put the new Zazzles.dll in place. Then start the FOGService again and watch the log.

  @Sebastian-Roth No no, you’ve made clear that it is a lost cause trying to sort this out. If I had a clean capture and deploy on this version showing the system partition shrinking it would be different. Your comments made that clear. Thanks for the help.

  @mig39 I would only turn off spanning tree on a switch where you have 100% control of the switch ports. If any of the switch ports are user facing I would not disable spanning tree. Your cisco switch should support rapid-stp or fast-stp. That is all that is needed. Then you don’t run the risk of a loopback taking down your network.

  If ram usage is the suspected culprit, what if beyond the 128M that is used for fog by default, upping it to use 256M? This can be done in the GUI. Of note I might suggest using the working-1.6 branch as we have added proper pagination that would certainly help you out in this situation. I know it’s still in kind of testing but most things should work without issue and I can work on improving and fixing things you may find.

  Can you upload the pcap of your pxe boot where PXE error T01 is thrown? I’d be interested in seeing why for my knowledge, especially if this is the only model giving this error?

  @Hoghsfoot Search the forums for “persistant groups” to understand that FOG has a different concept of the group settings than you think.

  @Sebastian-Roth I was finally able to get everything set back up in the new office location. I downloaded and replaced the init.xz and the UUIDs appeared as expected when I performed a deploy from my original image. I believe this may be finally solved. I can test more things if you need and somewhat faster now that I’m set back up again. I can’t express my thanks enough! Kudos!!

  Greetings, Can you tell me What version of FOG you are using? What FOS kernel are you using? Can you tell me the results of this action? a. Schedule a image deployment to this computer. Before you click on the schedule task button select the debug option then schedule the task. b. PXE boot the target computer. After a few keyboard Enter key presses you will arrive at a linux command prompt. c. At the FOS command prompt key in lsblk. Post the results here. A clear picture taken with a mobile phone is good. d. Also on the FOS command prompt key in grep nvme /var/log/messages (I guessed at the log file name, it may be syslog instead of messages). Post the results here.

  @nehsa said in Create scheduledtask via POST to API: “minute”: “30”, “hour”: “5”, “dayOfMonth”: “", “month”: "”, “dayOfWeek”: “*”, This all depends on the type of task this is to do: The json elements that you can set: { "name": 'Some Name', // Optional "description": 'Some Description', // Optional "type": "C", // C = Cron, S = Single "taskType": 1, // ID of the task type, 1 = deploy, 2 = capture, 3 = debug do not use this one, 4 = memtest, 5 = test disk, 6 = disk surface test, 7 = recover, 8 = multicast, 10 = inventory, 11 = password reset, 12 = all snapins, 13 = single snapin, 14 = wake up, 15 = debug deploy, 16 = debug capture, 17 = deploy no snapins, 18 = fast wipe, 19 = normal wipe, 20 = full wipe "minute": 30, "hour": 5, "dayOfMonth": '*', "month": '*', "dayOfWeek": '*', "isGroupTask": 0, // 0 = host only, 1 = group task "hostID": 1, // If is grouptask is 1 this will be the group id, otherwise the relevant hostID "shutdown": 0, // 0 = restart, 1 = shutdown "other1": "", "other2": "-1", // Snapins either the id of the individual snapin, or -1 for all.
