FOG service quits running
-
@Joe-Gill This almost seems like a “Patch Tuesday” kind of issue. Especially considering a large amount of patching was performed just on August 13th. Maybe it had to shutdown some of the services that FOG Client uses during the update process? I’m guessing a simple restart of the machine would have fixed the client, or even manually starting it.
Just thinking, and I could be totally wrong.

I just noticed something… While looking for log files again this morning… I had one machine that the service literally quit working yesterday… My event logs show events just AFTER the FOG service quit logging…
This machine is on Windows 10 1709 build 16299.15…
Guess what happened after that? Windows ran an update!
We do all of our updates from a Windows WSUS…
Hopefully this helps!!

I will try a reboot on the machine I had quit checking in yesterday and see.

So I rebooted two different machines that were having this problem. The service restarted on one and not the other. Ha!
Thanks!

I checked the update settings on the machine that the service wasn’t running after the reboot… You guessed it, a Windows Update was running (installing). I’m gussing that is the caust of this entire issue.
Reboot will likely resolve it after the update install is completed. Hope this helps someone else down the road.

Gotta love windows updates sometimes.

@Joe-Gill Nice catch!! Sounds very much reasonable. Will be interesting to see if we are actually able to replicate the issue on demand and see at which state exactly it kills the fog-client. Probably a big project for Winter I reckon…

Let me know how I can help. I have a lab that gets used very infrequently that I can test things on if need be. (Time permitting…) My time begins to get more free here in about a month or two and then gets more busy again in February. I’d be more than happy to help out the project!

Try configuring the servicio with this:
sc.exe config FOGService start=delayed-auto sc.exe failure FOGService actions= restart/60000/restart/60000/restart/ reset= 120.It work’s to save me from stopping Fogservice errors.

@Joe-Gill Are you still around? Would be great to hear if you still see this issue on some of your machines. I have tried to replicate this problem but wasn’t able to. See here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13902/fog-service-and-interventions
