        That’s simple the one that works.

        If you want to see accurate up down status the host name listed in FOG and the target system name needs to be the same and the FOG server needs to be able to look up the computer name in DNS.

        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!

            @bogle no as long as you have the fog server setup correctly you can / should use the short name.

            I can tell you for linux you need to edit /etc/resolv.conf file.

            You will want to configure these fields.

            search domain.com ad.domain.com
            nameserver 192.168.1.16
            nameserver 192.168.1.17
            

            For every dns server you want to query you should have a nameserver entry. For every DNS domain you want to search add that domain separated by a space after the search key word. Place the most likely candidates first in the nameservers and search keywords.

                @bogle So from the linux command prompt on your FOG server can you ping the devices by their windows host names? Not the FQDN name?

                    @bogle Even though windows firewall was disabled for domain, I added fog client to exclusion list for all network profiles, then opened inbound/outbound traffic on port 445. Can see the newly deployed computer now.

                    I had to do a “reset this pc” after deployment to fix make the computer run right though…

                      @bogle I did a “reset this pc” and can see the host online. I created a task to reboot the computer and it didn’t do anything.

                        @bogle The FOG server talks to the target computer via the FOG Client/service. That service has a check in interval that is set in the fog settings. So the default may be 5 minutes (300 seconds), so if you issue a task to the target computer it could take up to 5 minutes before the target system reacts.

                        Also on the fog up/down indicator it doesn’t use a ping, but a connect to port 445 to confirm the system is up or not. If your windows firewall is blocking connections to port 445 then fog will assume its down.
