Did you defrag the HDD and run chkdsk /r 😄 at least twice?

Not sure if you’re still having these issues or not, but here is some more information in the wiki: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting_Host_Management_Showing_Hosts_as_Down[/url]

Not sure if you ever resolved this issue, but after dealing with it myself I decided to document it in the wiki: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting_Host_Management_Showing_Hosts_as_Down[/url]

Did the IP address of the FOG server change?

Let’s take one problem at a time.

Have you tried viewing the FOG web UI from any other computers? Is it messed up on all computers you use? If not, it might be a browser encoding setting. If it’s messed up on all of them, it might be a language setting in FOG, PHP, Apache, or Ubuntu.

If you are getting the PXE TFTP timeout error, is it all all computer models you try or just some? Did you setup DHCP in FOG or are you using something else to do DHCP?

if you want to delete the whole directory, try

rm -r /images

maybe you need to put a “sudo” in front of it.

FOG may try to rename the computer at the end of imaging if quick rename is enabled. It does this by editing the registry from Linux. Otherwise the FOG service checks the current name of the machine against the registered name in FOG and changes it in windows shortly after boot up. FOG 0.32 will also auto join to the domain if configured properly. It’s all built into the hostnamechanger module of the FOG client.

Google “ubuntu 12.04 kernel upgrade” and see what you get.

Nope - plenty of disk space - 2TB currently holding one lonesome image. It starts after about 8 seconds, long pause then jumps to 11 seconds (or so) and upload speed drops, then jumps to 16 seconds, long pause, speed drops - does several times, then very long pause and I get the above message.

This is good info, Michael. I appreciate it when some people do the extra research that is needed to identify the cause of problems.

Let’s hope this will lead to better partition table handling in FOG, so that FOG can handle GPT as well as MBR. I believe this is one of the major shortcomings of FOG these days.

Also got a Z68XP-UD3 Gigabyte mobo and no dice for me. Wondering did anyone get it to work?

Might be late in this post. I just recently tried installing FOG on CentOS 6.2. To get htmldoc to pass, you need to download/install the latest latest rpm for the OS.

[]wget [url]http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/[/url][URL=‘http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm’]rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm[/URL]

[*]yum install htmldoc
[/LIST]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]

I got around that by using the poweroff program found here:

It’s no longer being developed but it works perfectly on win 2k / xp.

Have not tested it with vista / 7

Edit: I should mention that I use the auto-poweroff feature and that if you have a domain controller to use that to try to shutdown the computer(s).

Thanks for letting us know the fix, hopefully it will help out others that run into a similar issue.

Thanks, that worked perfectly!

I plan to be making a donation very soon… or will get my boss to do so.

If you have modified it from the original, just make up a new one and change all the necessary locations where it is stored, including the user account on the server.

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 7830, member: 18”]Are able to join computers to the domain and into the default “computers” container? If so, did you make sure the user account has been delegated rights to add/remove/manage computer accounts in the PISD Computers container?

I think you can put the OU in double quotes or escaped double quotes, such as “OU=PISD Computers”,DC=pisd,DC=us OR “OU=PISD Computers,DC=pisd,DC=us”[/quote]

Yes, FOG has been working fine for a while now, I was just changing the default OU for it to add new computers. FOG server would not save and text in that field that contained quotation marks, so I was thinking of trying \OU=PISD Computers,DC=pisd,DC=us and see what happens.

Thank you. I will run through this and see what I can make happen.

djm79, I will try that and it IS using the internet for some reason (the client machine). I have a real-time bandwidth monitor and as soon as the deployment begins the graph spikes (pretty much triples) and begins using 21Mb/s with the client’s IP being the culprit. [B]I’ve only tried imaging from the same location (my office)[/B]. [B]Network misconfiguration? [/B]I’ll try at another location and/or hook the client & server directly to a switch and go from there.

We’re calling the company we outsourced running the wires and installed the switches in the buildings to see if they would know of any reason before I get my hands dirty into uncharted territory.

chad, I know! It’s killing me not knowing why this is happening pulls and handful of hair out.

Thanks for all the help - I’ll report back with my solution as soon as I find out the problem. Thanks again guys.
