    I have the fog client as part of all of my images for active directory joining(something i am still working on getting to work) I am wondering what else it is capable of? Can we remotely do things on the machines? Rebooting/updating etc. im just kind of wondering what the fog client can do before i go looking at other remote management stuff.

    Thanks!

      @cammykool It can do remote execution, printer management, power management, login recording, and other things. I’ve used it to run scripts, deploy software, and other things. Check out these wiki articles below, they might help you understand the capabilities.

      • https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client
      • https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Snapin_Examples

      There’s also a ton of stuff on the forums about printer management. Here is one with some detail: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8051/printer-deployment?page=1 though there’s probably hundreds of topics about printers.

      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!
