Need help in installing FOG client for Ubuntu images and AD integration

[Vinay]

Hello Experts, I need help in setting up Ubuntu Desktop imaging using FOG installed on Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS, We have 100+ users wanted to use Ubuntu Desktops, i have setup the FOG server on Ubuntu Server, i need help in installing FOG client on Ubuntu desktops and integrating AD as well. Could someone help me with complete guide for this?

@Vinay https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client has everything you need;
for ubuntu: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client#Debian_8.2B.2C_Ubuntu_13.10.2B.2C_and_derivatives

The client will not manage domain bindings for linux. You can use a bash script Snapin for that though.

On Linux this usually means that the certificate store is “damaged”. Please try reinstalling the whole mono framework and then as well reinstall the fog-client. If that still does not work you need to downgrade the mono version and reinstall fog-client.

We are working on a fix but this won’t be due to the next major release of the fog-client.

@Joe-Schmitt @Sebastian-Roth
Thank you for the info, i will try this and let you know the status.
Could you guys help me with post install script for adding the system to AD and make the AD user as Sudoer with home directory created when login with AD credential first time, which would help me in adding the script while imaging multiple desktops at once.

@Vinay Any news on this?
