Unfortunately I’m not very familiar with the source code for the client, but there is the Additional MAC Address field on the host edit page. Adding the wireless NIC MAC address might take care of this, but again I’m not 100% sure without seeing what the client code is doing. Worth a shot though.

Yes our fog servers are either Windows 2003 Server or Windows 2008 Server and they all work well as storage nodes.

Sorry all, just found a fix for this in the bug reports forum - didn’t look there! All working perfectly now.

[quote=“kirksec, post: 2469, member: 289”]Then i wonder what my issue could be, because my Value is none but yet the session didn’t start[/quote]

did you get this resolved?

so multicasting to two machines today the log had no timeouts.

so i multicast to 10 machines and the log would receive timeouts in it (multicast speed at 600mbs roughly)

any ideas on what i should be troubleshooting?

After more troubleshooting…problem still not resolved but do notice something.

Issues is with Dell Optiplex 390

Tried on Dell Optiplex 780 it boots fine…

THOUGHTS???

Something is causing it to not exit the pxe boot.

I noticed on the 780 that once the pxe boot screen exits I see a screen that says something like…

Booting from local disk
Exiting pxe

I do not get that prompt or screen on the 390…imediately get the blinking cursor?

Need more information. What type of Image? NTFS Resizeable I’m guessing?

If so your filesystem must be 100% tiptop or you will get lost files during the NTFS partition resize, delete and recreation.

This is outside of FOG’s control and is down to the badness of NTFS.

Always chkdsk /x 😄 multiple times, reboot in between.

I have a similar issue, but it doesn’t seem to be related to the OS install. I get the black screen with blinking cursor after the fog menu. If I change bios and boot directly to the HD and skip the fog boot screen the pc boots fine. Of course this is not a solution for us as we have over 360 pcs that we need to be able to image or reimage monthly or quarterly (student lab). This setup was working fine on Thursday of last week, but on Monday all 360 pcs only boot to flashing cursor. Ideas?

I have used the feature in the past without issues, it just seems once we pushed out SP1 to win 7 we started to see this issue.
The rebooting instead of logout doesn’t bother me, but the fact that it does not register activty does.

I put in a bug at:

Awesome, Keep this thread updated with your progress

through the webUI, add new images and select the type, name, and storage location to match what they were. Doing this tells the FOG database about the images, but doesn’t actually touch the contents of /images/ on the FOG server.

You need to make sure the type and location match the files in /images/ though or you’ll have problems.

I suggest in the future you use VirtualBox as a test bed so you can avoid similar issues in the future with your production systems.

did you try “sudo”?

My apologies, the error is “can’t have partition outside the disk”. I found a possible solution here: [url]http://www.edugeek.net/forums/o-s-deployment/61956-fog-client-error-cant-have-partition-outside-disk.html[/url]

I’m going to run DBAN and wipe the drive and then try to image again.

Have you checked the DHCP scope to make sure its populating the default gateway? I had this problem when I setup a new scope in a rush for my VMware vlan.

Perfect. That’s exactly what I needed! Pretty sure I missed the step to change the framework to 2.0. Everything else I’ve done, so that makes sense. Thanks again Chad!
