@Joe-Schmitt said in Is there a way to query or poll computers with FOG client on them?:

@maveriick you could use GPO to push out a script that re-installs the client.

This is the best option for you. You can find command line arguments that the new client accepts in the article that Joe linked below. You’d use msiexec to first uninstall the client, and then use it again to install it again - using the command line arguments to specify options like server address. This needs done in a startup script most likely - and you should check for the existence of some file if you don’t want computers doing it every time they startup. Just echo “hello” to some file called C:\fogReinstalled.txt or something, and then put your MSIEXEC statements inside of an if statement that checks for this file. The echo to the previously mentioned file would also be in the if statement. Play around with this, get it working manually first, then move to GPO startup script.

@Wayne-Workman Thank you so much for the information Wayne. That really is extremely helpful info. I’ll have to look for that global setting in the fog settings. Thanks again!

@Tom-Elliott

Snapins are not replicated to the nodes.

I used the lftp command from the fogsnapinreport.log but removed some inverted comma and backslash in some parts. After adding password and IP-Address manually the files uploaded to the nodes.

original from fogsnapingreport.log:

lftp -e 'set ftp:list-options -a;set net:max-retries 10;set net:timeout 30; ' ' mirror -c '-R -i [FILENAME]' --ignore-time -vvv --exclude 'dev/' --exclude 'ssl/' --exclude 'CA/' --delete-first ''\''/opt/fog/snapins'\''' '/opt/fog/snapins'; exit' -u 'fog',[Protected] '[IP_ADDR]'

modified ftp command:

lftp -e 'set ftp:list-options -a;set net:max-retries 10;set net:timeout 30; ' ' mirror -c -R -i [FILENAME] --ignore-time -vvv --exclude 'dev/' --exclude 'ssl/' --exclude 'CA/' --delete-first '/opt/fog/snapins' '/opt/fog/snapins'; exit' -u 'fog', [PASSWORD] '[IP_ADDR]'

The restarted FOGSnapinReplicator showed a new logfile where all snapins match:

@sbenson No you don’t, disk expand automatically

Yep, everything is ok.

Thank you !

@wcheung said in How to update kernel on an isolated network:

So bzImage32 is the 32 bit and 64 = bzImage. Since I was able to clone the image.

Yes that is correct for 1.2.0 trunk or 1.3.0. Its been so long since I used 1.2.0 stable I don’t remember exactly of that is the case.

This has been resolved by Tom.

It was a php version issue he had me run
rm -rf /etc/apache* /etc/php*
apt-get purge ‘libphp’ ‘apache*’ ‘php*’

then reinstall and it worked perfectly.

@Sebastian-Roth My network admin did not set option undionly.kpxe. Issue has been solved.

@Tom-Elliott
@Wayne-Workman

Great to hear! Thank you for the update! Thank you also for the quick replies and hard work. It is enormously appreciated. Will await RC-11 and give it a go.

Thank you again.

@george1421 said in LDAP Plugins in FOG 1.3.0 RC 8:

Your explanation also tells me why there was an admin field in the database

It was setup to restrict someone to just fog mobile if they weren’t an admin. It’s a checkbox in user management, for a user. When checked, they can only access fog mobile I think. Or vice versa… or something.

One detail that I left out was that the fog images files were saved on the open partition of the 5tb drive I assigned them too as pointed out by @george1421.

I admit i was a bit confused at first by what he was saying as i wanted to mount the images to a specific folder on the drive (secondary) and then i realized that i needed to partition the drive as the new fog destination needed its own space. I then create space on the drive by partitioning the drive and mounting the second partition as a files storage for whatever i like while the fog partition would stay hidden.

Thank you guys this thread is solved, success!!!

Tom and George are correct. Nic to Nic requires a crossover cable - anything else simply wouldn’t work at all.

I’ve used fog to change hostnames of computers joined to a domain. It works fine. What’s most likely happening is the credentials you have saved in fog for AD don’t have the authority to disable the old computer objects so new ones can be made.

At any rate - we’re just guessing and won’t be of much help until we can get a c:\fog.log file from an affected host from you.

@Tom-Elliott Yes hosst register is enable for all hosts… As you said, I suppose for any reason Fog client can’t see other mac addresses, but finally it’s not important !
Can it be due to pci=noacpi parameter ?

@george1421 I wonder if it’s the same error as the line 103 error of the other items?

@mbarker
in a normal fog install, there is no init.xz in /tftpboot.
I think that maybe your install is very modified and this is causing some issues…
I know that it would be your thousandth installation, but when you got fog up and running, your effort will have been worthwhile.

I was looking for other tools, they exist but are not as productive as this.

@Tom-Elliott Gotcha. I appreciate the help.

@Thiago Yes I did. I also rebooted and ran this again.
Still with the same issues.
Thanks,
Rob

@Tom-Elliott
Yes, I’ve had confirmation from the tech.
