I’m having the same issue after updating fog version from 0.32 to 1.0.1… I’ve already tried the Tom Elliott’s suggestion but unfortunately it didn’t work…
04/06/2014 17:02 FOG::HostnameChanger Module is disabled on this host.
04/06/2014 17:02 FOG::HostnameChanger Host name was not found in the database. -
Try this,
Place all hosts in your fog system into a single group, (ODD I KNOW)
Open a terminal window and ssh to your fog server.
Run:
[code]mysql -u root fog[/code]If you set a mysql root password run:
[code]mysql -u root -p fog[/code]It should ask for your root password.
Run the command:
[code]truncate table moduleStatusByHost;[/code]You can close the terminal.
Go back to your FOG Web GUI.
Go to Group Management.
List the group, or search for what ever you named the group.
Select your group.
Choose Service Settings.
Select the Services you want enabled.
Apply the changes.

That seemed to do the trick!
Thank you!

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.
