@xcvtop On the WebGUI if you click on FOG Configuration it should tell you when you’re no longer up to date (and what version the newest is). Although I’ve found I have to refresh the page after navigating to it before it will tell me so.
@dustindizzle11 It would be nice, and this has been asked for several times. In order to implement it, I believe a lot of code would need edited and rewritten. It would include changes in the database, the inits, the web interface - we would likely need an entire new management page just for domains.
I would even like the feature. But I would rather put it off till 2.0 in order to get 1.3.0 out faster.
Right now, if you want to be able to have the right domain info inserted for a host during a full-registration via the boot menu, the way to do this currently is to set your AD defaults to what you would want them to be.
@Tom-Elliott Thanks for the quick response. After updating to the latest it was able to start capturing the image and no more errors show up when booting the device.
I removed the “revertbcd” script of Tom.
Remove old image with file
Create image
fog-windows7 - 16
default: Windows 7
Single Disk - Resizable
Everything- Associate image to client
Associate image to client
Launch Basic task capture
Capture works fine and windows start normally
Launc basic task deploy
… It works !!! 😉
@Timo Seams like we haven’t implemented a shutdown after snapin… Not sure if @Tom-Elliott is keen to add this right now. Other than that you can create a SFX including a windows cmd script to shutdown the machines after running the installer. See here for an example on how to create an SFX installer.

Alright good news, I got everything working! First thing, connecting to the mysql server as ‘fogstorage’ on the main server will not work, fogstorage has host access from % (which includes all IP addresses except for localhost.) In order to get this working, this is what I had done (in-case anyone else runs into this)
Verify that the node cannot communicate with the main MySQL server
mysql -u fogstorage -h (your main servers DNS/IP address) -p
enter your fogstorage password and hit enter
If you do not successfully log in, then you need to change your passwords.
Go to the webpage of the main fog server and go to Fog Configuration->Fog Settings->Configure Storage Nodes
Set the username to fogstorage and the password to whatever you want
SSH into the main fog server
Connect to the local MySQL server as root
mysql -u root -p
enter password (default is a blank password) and hit enter
Change the fogstorage user password
use fog;
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD(‘the new passord’) WHERE User=‘fogstorage’;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Test that you can connect to the mysql server by doing step 1 again.
If you can connect successfully now, you should be working, if not please try removing and reinstalling fog and ensuring you use the correct mysql username and password during the install phase
@raice Your instructions would be greatly appreciated, the more the better! We can compare notes and come up with the best solution!
And for your environment, yes, being able to install windows from the network on many different models of PCs is the best option for you! I imagine you are a fan of Fog’s “Quick Image” feature that doesn’t require a registered computer, eh?
