Hostname on imaged clients not changing

Samuel1010 · Mar 15, 2019, 2:46 PM

So I’ve had luck with one client changing name. My original image was named something different, then I noticed the hostname changed at some point after installing the client. Now my issue is, after capturing that image and deploying it on both a virtual machine and an actual machine, it keeps the old hostname of the previous computer.

My fog.log reads

 //3/15/2019 4:18 PM Client-Info Version: 0.11.16

Quick edit: I found this as well.

@Samuel1010 said in Hostname on imaged clients not changing:

Module is disabled on the host

Have you checked the host’s settings in the FOG web UI?

Samuel1010 · Mar 18, 2019, 12:00 PM

@Sebastian-Roth

Yeah its all enabled in there, I saw a post saying to disable them and re-enable and I tried that, but no luck. I’ll go through it again though

@Samuel1010 , I don’t know if this can help you, but I had a similar problem with a windows deploy. The problem was solved when I reset encryption data on the master host, before capture the new image. This is done at the host you use to upload image general page, you have a “Reset Encryption Data” button.

After doing that, before upload, the fog client at the hosts, can comunicate with the server, and all work fine.

Hope this help you.

@ragnurenson

I’ll give this a try now! I had issues with the ‘Reset encryption Data’ button previously when my original master image didnt want to speak to my FOG server. I’ve also removed that host out of the group I had it in, just in case there was any conflicts. I’ll keep you guys posted, thanks for the help

@ragnurenson

Dont think that did the trick.

Turned off all of the computers I had the image on, reset encryption, turned the host image on, double checked to see if the FOG Client was interacting with the server, it was working from what I could see on the logs, imaged that machine again and just put it on a VM to test. Now on that image its showing the hostname of the host image and the FOG log is showing

Okay this is the newest error so far

Samuel1010 · Mar 18, 2019, 7:12 PM

Wait… Maybe I’ve been going at this wrong.

Am I supposed to manually register each computer I image? I assumed the client would register the computer in the FOG server. My bad if so, I’ve looked at the quick register settings, enabled it but that isnt bringing new clients on to the server
