      @george1421 That’s a tough question. One thing I have been toying with is some Active Directory integration as far as comparison between FOG hosts and AD hosts. I currently have a framework in PHP to pull records from both and do a daily comparison. I use this to both find hosts that don’t have the FOG client installed for whatever reason, or possibly a client that has broke and also find hosts that have gotten deleted from FOG and not AD or vice-versa. It helps to keep both the FOG host records and AD cleaner and keep clutter to a minimum. If FOG could be directly integrated that when you delete a host you have a choice of also deleting it from AD if it exists. I don’t know if that is something that the community would use or if it would be more of a one-off type of feature, maybe an optional plug-in.

      Greener? - I have to say as it stands it has changed things for us dramatically already! We used to average at least 2500 machines left on all the time, now with the shutdown features available in FOG we have it down under 100 most nights/weekends which are mostly machines that need to be on (HVAC controllers, etc…).

        @george1421 We also have a White Paper I wrote about our initial integration of FOG if you are interested - PM an email address if you would like.

          @dclark Please do share with the community. This is an excellent way to contribute to the fog project. Also, it’s always refreshing and nice to hear positive stories about FOG.

          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

            Here is the basic white paper on how it helped the district during a tough budget year and ended up being one of the better finds we have made within the IT department.

                    @adukes40 It will be a year next month that we started out with a test instance. Honestly it has been less headaches than our old solution ever was!

                                          Tribunal Regional Eleitoral do Paraná, a.k.a. TRE-PR, is the government body responsible for the electoral process (election, electronic ballot box, tabulation of results, etc.)

                                          We’re proud to post here because at this very date, we concluded our implementation of FOG in our entire state (Paraná), wich means:

                                          • a central location at our state capital (Curitiba), with our main server, and about 500 hosts
                                          • 157 remote locations in the entire state of Paraná, each one with about 5 to 40 hosts, totaling about 2500 hosts, each one with a Storage Node.

                                          So, hurray and thanks for all the efforts of the development team and your support!

                                            Wiki entry:

                                            alt text

                                            I am able to properly capture and deploy images to Mac OSX Mojave and on Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS both using nvme drives, and supported with hostname changing via the Fog-Client.

                                            I migrated us to FOG, suggested by a faculty member, after realizing manually doing this with CloneZilla was not ideal.

                                            We at High Point University in North Carolina have migrated from CloneZilla to this open-source software and image management.

                                            You have saved us a lot of future time by creating this software.

                                            From the Webb School of Engineer, as the solo systems admin here, thank you.
