Fog Client fails to authenticate
-
After reinstall of client I am back to the original issue of value cannot be null.
-
Also note the Reset Encryption button never appears for the host but I can add it to a group and see it there.
-
@Joseph-Hales Group’s don’t know the status, so I make that button always present.

Upgraded server to latest SVN today 6072 same issue as shown below.

@Joseph-Hales Is this still an issue? Just wondering because we seem to have other reports on this.

I had this exact error message - also imaging windows 10 and also first time with new client, coming from legacy. For me this worked:
Through FOG GUI:
1.) Reset encryption data
2.) Put the FQDN in WITH the .net or whatever appendage (honeygroveisd.net) <-----works but -----> (honeygroveisd) did not.
3.) Clear out the OU container fields completely and leave it blank.I made sure these settings were mirrored both in the group settings and in the global settings. After doing all of this it no longer gave me errors.
I highly doubt all of these were necessary but I was getting desperate

@JLE For this particular errors I doubt that any of your actions helped in solving this. I suspect you reinstalled and that just solved the issue. See my post here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10562/active-directory-join-fails

@sebastian-roth Hmm. I definitely do not reinstall anything after sysprep. I run .\sysprep /generalize /oobe /unattend /shutdown and then capture. I have the fog service set to manual with recovery options set to restart it. After the images are deployed the batch file does a net start fogservice and then they join the domain.

@sebastian-roth I have been busy with other things and finally revisited this issue. Recreating the certificate and tokens fixed my authentication problem I may have and AD join issue but will troubleshoot further before I open a new topic on it.

@Joseph-Hales Ok, thanks for reporting back on this. Will mark this solved then. Feel free to open a new post on the AD issue if you can’t figure it out yourself.
