@Wayne-Workman

Thanks for the reply, I will test it out.

Were you receiving any errors when it fails or was it just failing? Wondering because I’m trying to figure out if I’m missing something in my configuration? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

inside of FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> Client Service

The “New client” thing must be checked for the new client to work.

Also please note that you should type in your PLAIN TEXT password into the password field, and that your fogcrypt string should go into the legacy field.

Also note that in the hosts menu, any password that you put into the AD Settings fields in there gets re-encrypted when the aforementioned “NEW CLIENT” check-box is checked. So, I’d recommend just clicking the “Clear Fields” and then click the “Join Domain” so that it simply auto-populates.

@Wayne-Workman

I’ve triple-checked all those requirements and I’m still getting the ERROR: Required Domain Joining information is missing.
Fog service:
new client: checked
aes_encrypt: not checked
AD defaults:
domainname: tried domain.com and netbios
default ou: OU=Computers,DC=domain,DC=com
default user: tried domain\user and just user
default password: plaintext
default pw legacy: fogcrypt

Is there something I need to change in a config.php file or anything that I’m missing? Need to add netdom on the windows 7 pc?

[Wayne Workman]

I’d recommend (just for the purposes of troubleshooting) these things:

Default OU blank
use your domain Administrator as the default user
Administrator password

then, I’d play with the domain name…
Try your FQDN (fully qualified domain name)
Try your sloppy domain name (example for My.SchoolDistrict.k12.mo.us you’d just put in “My”)

No need to change any php files. This is FOG Trunk, the days of editing PHP files are over.

The rest of your settings look good.

Now, if none of this works… keep in mind that this client is in BETA. If you want to pursue this further, please contact @Jbob

Does your legacy client work?
