once your hosts are in your Fog inventory, you can simply click edit for the host you want to change, then change the hostname right there in your FOG web-admin page.

Simplified:
Log in to Fog -server with your web browser…
Click on Host Management
Click Edit for the host you wish to change
Change Hostname.

Now, this will automatically rename and reboot the system (if the fog client has hostname changer enabled.-- see screenshot)

maybe this helps 8a copy fron the old forum):

The disk pie chart (along with the server stats page) time out and returns Unable to pull server information

The issue: the Fetch function uses the proxy settings provided in the fog settings (otherInfo>Fogsettings) but the storage node is most likely to be on the same LAN (or even the same server) and does not require a proxy sever.

FIX1: configure the proxy server to deal with internal requests.
OR
FIX2: at the very end of /var/www/fog/commons/functions.include.php

replace these 2 lines
<code>
//Proxy
if($Proxy)
</code>
with:
<code>
//Proxy
$url1 = explode(“/”, $URL);
$noproxyfor = array(“192.168.”, “10.”);
foreach($noproxyfor as $ip) {
if(substr($url1[2], 0, strlen($ip)) == $ip) $Proxy = false;
}
if ($Proxy)
</code>

the array is of the IPs of the servers/ranges that you do not wish to proxy. it looks at the start of the hostname for the strings in the array
eg. any host starting with “192.168.” and “10.” so this would include “192.168.1.2” and “10.2.5.7”
feel free to add and edit the values in teh array for your lan/server

Ahh, good to know. I’m sure that’s what it is. Thanks!

[B] A few things:[/B]
Why can’t you just leave domain info blank in fog settings?

Another option, don’t use the fog service, just use hostname change early setting and computer name will get renamed while still in linux before it ever boots into Windows. Since fog service isn’t installed you won’t join domain.

netdom is not required

Finally if your set on doing the way you are now, then download the Fog service source, download a C# compiler and remove the code that joins to the domain. It is pretty straitforward. The joys of open source.

I am having the same problem. As a workaround I deploy images manually as described here: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshooting_an_image_push_to_a_client[/url]

[quote=“Zardan, post: 1888, member: 185”]Yes it is, it copies everything.
Windows and few other applications may require that you activate them again after cloning due to hardware changes.[/quote]
I see. Thx a lot!!

bump? lol.

Use the following guide to add the DBAN .iso to your boot menu - [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/how-to-modify-the-pxe-boot-menu-to-allow-the-booting-of-iso-files.154/[/url]

you can download dban here - [url]http://dban.org/[/url]

hahah opps sorry my bad…

yes im allready uploaded image from other host (and success deploy it on other host).

and it’s not .gho it’s (.mbr,,.img).

[quote=“testbuck, post: 1791, member: 625”]Hello people,

This might be a bit off the topic but i have a few questions,

I’m running a compeny, and since i have to get everything legal i would like to well sort of copy my computer to a external USB/ Harddrive, so i’m able to boot from that and download cracked versions of programs.

So my question is, is there anything that i can do to get like W7 on a USB and boot from that and install the programs without having anything on my local PC ?

K.[/quote]

So you just said you have to get everything legal, so why would you want to do the total opposite and download illegal cracked software?

Be sure to run the below command from Command Promt before sysprepping/uploading (requires a reboot)

chkdsk /f

I want to try and help you out but don’t fully understand your question. You talk about login time and then about imaging. I don’t understand why you would need to turn off pxe booting. If these are two separate questions here is my solution.
[B]Wireless login time:[/B]
I’m not sure what kind of wireless solution you are using but you will need a high quality access point(commercial/enterprise) to handle that many connections. Otherwise you would need multiple access points in the same location. Other than that I can’t think of any ways to modify the login process.
[B]Strategies for imaging:[/B]
Laptops would obviously need to be imaged through a wire. Most laptops don’t need set for pxe booting. If they receive a wake on lan signal they automatically try to boot from the network. If yours don’t then could simply hit f12 or whatever your network boot shortcut key is. Finally if you do set it to boot from the network first, then the hard drive, after you have imaged the laptops they are no longer connected to a physical wire, therefore, PXE booting will see it has no connection and just skip to the next device which is your hard drive. So basically I’m saying there is no reason to turn pxe booting on and off.

When you upload an image to the server it compresses the file, so it’s not raw. This is why the image size is smaller on the server.

When you download the file it should go much faster due to it needing to extract the file, and not needing to use the CPU cycles to compress it.

Your images are rather large in comparison to most images I work with 3-6 GB.

Does it go faster when pulling an image down from the server?

In the Fog UI select other information, then kernel updates. You can try both older and newer kernels.
