Additional MACs picking up software VPN
-
We had an issue recently where a software VPN MAC address was picked up by the FOG client on a laptop and accidentally added by someone (me) as an additional MAC. Since the VPN is installed the same and has the same MAC address on all the laptops it’s on, this caused quite a few laptops to rename themselves once taken offsite before we realized what was happening and deleted the offending host from FOG. We now know better and to be more careful in the future, but is there any chance of a safeguard to this sort of thing in the future?
edit: Or does anyone have any ideas on how to blacklist one MAC address from being added to the database?
-
Blacklisting can be done right from the FOG Settings Page under the Registration part. You can “ignore” mac addresses.

Well, look at that. “[FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#555555]FOG_QUICKREG_PENDING_MAC_FILTER” is the setting I take it?[/COLOR][/FONT]

Yes
-
I put in the full MAC in there and saved but I’m still seeing the MAC under pending and on a host I picked out from the list. Is there anything else I need to do? Do I just need to be patient?
-
It won’t auto remove the already existing mac’s, sorry
-
Alright, I’ll just go scrub them from the database then. Thanks, Tom.

Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
Also, to add on to the ignore list should you need to in the future,
It’s just a comma separated list
