Rename fails but adds client to domain.

[Psycholiquid]

OK tried rolling back and reinstalling the Dev-Branch. Still breaking my whole setup doing that. Is the old 0.3.2 version still stable? I never recall having all these issues in that version at all.

I don’t believe .32 has been touched in quite some time. You would also have to install the legacy client on your image, but you can try that with the current version of FOG you have as well.

Still strange that it only happens to the one model.

[Psycholiquid]

@cml It is now happening on all models. It is almost like there is an issue with me installing the client before sysprepping the machine. I can put my finger on what is happening. I can say once I manually rename the computer it stops rebooting, but since I changed to matching the client with teh server now no machine will rename, but will still add it to the domain which is causing big issues with having multiple machines trying to be the same machine all th time.

I disable the FOG Service before sysprep, and my setupcomplete.cmd finishes by re-enabling the fog service. I don’t have any issues doing this.

[Psycholiquid]

@Tom Elliot I will give that a try and see what happens. I’ll report back with results.

Ok using SVN 3702 with Client 0.9.0 I am getting the following happening:

I create the image in Audit mode
Install all software and updates Install FOG Service software 0.9.0

In the SetupComplete.bat I have the following commands

sc config FOGService start= auto
net start FOGService

Set windows to OOBE and reboot uploading image to FOG server.

Once complete I push the image out to one of the hosts I have setup in FOG right now. IT runs through the whole image setup and completes to the Desktop.

From there is joins the domain without trying to rename the computer at all. This create a problem as there will be multiple computers all trying to join the domain under the same name causing a trust issue in the process.

Here is the log from the computer I just did. Keep in mind this one is constantly rebooting due to it trying to change the name after it has already joined the domain:

OK this morning with SVN still being down (Thanks Sourceforge) I decided to try installing the 0.9.4 client and use it with teh SVN3702 server. So far I am now able to image and rename acomputer and add it to the domain, I am attempting a dual image now to see if both rename and add to the domain without issue. If all goes well then I will just wit for SVN to come back up and update to the latest trunk and retest.

On a side note anyone able to get their upload to the FOG server to be any faster than 500MB a min. Painfully slowing the process down. Imaging is super fast getting 8GB a min.

Holy wow lol. My uploads move at anywhere from 1.5GB/min to 3GB/min. What are your compression settings? Are you running over a 100 meg link? Maybe you have a bad patch cable? A bad switch port?

Hi, 500-700/min is my average speed on my network (FastEthernet).

OK fully updated and the SetupComplete.cmd in place working like a champ now.

I would like to know why I have to add those lines maybe something that should be put in a FAQ somewhere.

But all in all working like a champ and the business loves it.

Thank you all for helping on this . I’m sure I’ll be back with something else soon.

It was my compression I get around 1 gig now once I turned it down a bit
