Domain Join not working
-
i meant in Host Management>service settings, make sure the boxes are ticked that you need.
on the client, the config file is located in program files or program files (x86) /fog/etc -
Just a stab at this but,
take the machine you made this image from, and re-install the FOG client, Make sure the IP address is correct when it asks for it. Then make a second image from that. Then, try again.
A simple fat-fingered entry that you didn’t realize could be causing all this… or even a bad FOG Client install, although a bad install has never happened to me personally, but it’s possible.
Also, there’s a FOG Client log on the clients, it’s usually here: C:\fog.txt
It’d be interesting to see what’s in there after you’ve tried to image & join to domain.

Could you upload the log file that Wayne was talking about? Usually we can tell what is wrong just by looking at that.

So I checked in the settings on the fog server and under host management settings it did not have any of the boxes checked for services (I thought the default on these was checked). I checked the appropriate ones and I reimaged to test it out. After I named the computer and created the admin account, it rebooted to join it to the domain, but it made me set up another local admin account. Any thoughts on why it had me go through the account setup again?
The upload a file won’t let me upload the fog log for some reason. It just doesn’t even see it as a possibility.
-
Because you Sys prepped the image and don’t have answer files set up?
-
It has never been an issue before though. I have done it this way at a few different schools and don’t use answer files at any of them.
-
Well, I don’t think FOG has anything to do with forcing you to setup another local admin account, and that’s why I suspect SysPrep.
Maybe you chose the “Out of the box experience” option accidentally?
-
OoBE is what I normally do. It isn’t really a huge deal, I can just set up an extra local account, I was just hoping to avoid it to make it a little quicker.
-
Use unattend files?
-
I personally do not use SysPrep.
I find that maintaining several images is exceedingly easy. I keep track of about… emmm… 9 or 10 images I’d say.
There’s just something about using a Linux utility instead of a Microsoft one that makes my day.

As for default behavior in SVN services are enabled on a pxe registered machine if you register the machine via the web interface then the default is off.
