Changing Name works, Joining AD is not but was prior to upgrade

if your fog server can do as many things as you’ve said, the mysql is working fine. without it you never would have gotten logged in.
here’s some info on customizing the boot menu [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-0-33b-edit-pxe-menu.10403/#post-26419[/url]
to troubleshoot the domain joining issue, check the hosts fog service log file at c:\fog.log

Bill Rice

Below is a direct copy of a pc that has never been in the domain and im trying to get it to join and also trying to install printer.
You see all the log has as of today

have you checked your host service settings and global service settings to make sure they are both set to on?

The log that you have doesn’t specify anything about Host Joining to Domain.

Are those values set to anything on your server?

Is the Host enabled to add to domain?

Is the FOG_AD_DEFAULT_USER set to DOMAIN\username or FOG_AD_DEFAULT_USER set to username?

Is the Password encrypted?

In 0.33 and up, we changed the FOG_AD_DEFAULT_USER not not require the domain at the heading and it will fail to run if the username specifies the domain.

Bill Rice

Sorry Tom, Had to actually modify my post and supply the proper info… lol… hit submit to fast.

Bill Rice

Tom,
Appreciate all of your hard work in keeping this software going and please pass along my sincerest thanks to the rest of the Dev’s and support staff… Excellent software… I also appreciate you taking the time to assist me with this issue… the low budget facility I work for heavily rely on this software since i introduced it several years ago… we have had our ups and downs trying to get windows deployments however I have always been able to research a solution to almost any problems that have come up except for this.

what ever assistance you can provide Just let me know what exact files you need and Ill get them to you.
thanks

fog.log deletes itself when it gets to 10kb in size (quickly). Try stopping the FOG service, deleting fog.log, then starting the service. Check fog.log about a minute afterwards and you should see the error messages relating to the HostnameChanger.

I know to get it working for me, I had to change the global settings (to remove the domain from the username field) but that didn’t automatically change it for all my existing hosts. I added all my hosts to a group, and changed it through the group as well.

Bill Rice

This is the log right after the restart of the fog service.

That error 2202 is returned directly from Active Directory, and from what I can tell after some searching, it’s saying “invalid username or group”. I’m not sure why it doesn’t like Administrator, but I would probably try a different user next. I would recommend using an account with less permissions anyway due to security concerns.

Raff

Before you change the account, If the host already exists in AD try deleting it, then restart fog service on client.

Raff

Bill,

Looking through the posts again, you have probably changed the global AD settings to use [B]Domain Username: Administrator[/B] but you have not done it for that individual host in Host Management. Its is still probably using Domain\Administrator.

Bill Rice

Let me Say!!! Thank you to the community! I now have AD joining functional again… the simple aspect of removing the roxborough\ in the host setting was the KEY!!! ty…

Key Factor:
“you have not done it for that individual host in Host Management. Its is still probably using Domain\Administrator.”

Ok so recap- After updating to 1.0.1 from .032
AD joining may break the fix for me was to verify the following settings :

FOG_AD_DEFAULT_DOMAINNAME [COLOR=#ff6600]My Domain.com[COLOR=#3366ff] This setting never changes[/COLOR][/COLOR]
FOG_AD_DEFAULT_OU ([COLOR=#ff6600]Blank[/COLOR]) Using default OU Computers1 [COLOR=#3366ff]This setting never changes[/COLOR]
FOG_AD_DEFAULT_USER [U][U][COLOR=#ff6600][SIZE=5]Administrator[/SIZE][/COLOR][/U][/U] (as per updated version only User name required) [B][U][U][SIZE=5][COLOR=#999999]REMOVE the DOMAIN\ Just leave the User name ONLY[/COLOR][/SIZE][/U][/U][/B]
FOG_AD_DEFAULT_PASSWORD ([COLOR=#ff6600]Encrypted with fogcrypt[/COLOR]) [COLOR=#3366ff]This setting never changes[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#ff6600]Under HOST options check the AD setting and make sure it does not have “[U][B]Domain\USER”[/B][/U] It Must match as above (User Name only)[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#ff6600]after this I was able to have the PC join the Domain with the Fog service[/COLOR]

Your welcome Bill, If you have hundreds of hosts in your database with that setting, create a temporary group and mass change the AD setting.

Small issue with that I have over 500 deployed systems. some images are not allowed access to the domain CEO’s, CFO’s and so on. so I must go through all of my hosts and check each one individually… but I have no issue doing this… as long as I know it works.!

Raff

You could do an SQL query to the database directly and change only the ones that have the setting roxborough\Administrator

RAFF,
Im not that familiar with SQL modification is there a simple way to either use a GUI to search it or a step by step command to edit the SQL database… I have always wanted to reset the numbering as well for images we have deleted and the newest images just keep adding on increasing in number.

Raff

I use SQLyog community edition to make a connection to the database.

Recommend you make a backup first.

The SQL query you need to execute is:
update hosts set hostADUser=‘Administrator’ where hostADUser=‘roxborough\Administrator’;

Bill Rice

Ok so I am attempting to do this two ways… Directly from the FOG server Via Command Line and from a windows PC here is the error i see from the Fog Server:
roxborough@roxmintfog:~$ mysql -u root -p fog
Enter password:
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

and in Windows I tried using SQLyog for win and it keeps adding my domain ID to the end of the logon users credentials so it denies access to the fog server/DB.
