Hostname changer

I did a clean install of Ubuntu 13.10 with 1.1.0 and deployed our base image from 0.32 / uploaded to new 1.1.0 installation. Do I need to use an updated FOG Service msi before I sysprep or will the 0.32 image version work as is? The snapins seem to deploy fine - just doesn’t change name or join domain.

Thanks,

Andy

the fog service has not changed. the computers may not be joining the domain because the active directory username field has changed from “domain\username” to just “username”
the name not changing may be due to an issue with the computer not being able to communicate with the fog server on startup. the hostname changer service only checks once, on startup. setting the fog service to delayed start has resolved this issue for some people.

Thank you very much for the reply. I will dig further to address this.

hey guys,

same here, update to 1.1.0…

hostname changer works only when the client get the registration via pxe boot.

I have imported all clients with csv and made the groups manually! --> none of this clients changed the hostname after the quick image

the solutions for me is, every clients must be registrated via PXE boot menu.

If you imported hosts, then it is most likely because the host modules are not set.
