Machines won't join AD

[anthony.delarosa]

Hello FOG Users,

I am running FOG 1.3.0-RC-8 (i don’t want to update to RC-10 because of the issues I’ve seen so far)
I noticed that since FOG 1.3 there is now 2 Domain Password columns and I think that’s where the issue is. I tried using the normal password which auto-encrypts by itself and also the Domain Password Legacy which I had working in 1.2 but nothing seems to work.

The logs just read:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------HostnameChanger-------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 2016-09-15 12:26 PM Client-Info Client Version: 0.11.5
 2016-09-15 12:26 PM Client-Info Client OS:      Windows
 2016-09-15 12:26 PM Client-Info Server Version: 1.3.0-RC-8
 2016-09-15 12:26 PM Middleware::Response Success
 2016-09-15 12:26 PM HostnameChanger Checking Hostname
 2016-09-15 12:26 PM HostnameChanger Hostname is correct

but it won’t join the Domain or does it even give any error to why it’s not joining. I checked the AD Defaults and tried adding the default password for the “vancouveradmin” account which had been used successfully in 1.2 without any issues.

Is there something I am missing? Oh the computer is running the updated FOG Agent and can ping FOG server just fine.

Thanks

thanks guys! I got it working, i ended up using the Domain Password Legacy and checking the “Join Domain after Image Task” worked. I don’t know something wonky happened.

Thanks

@anthony-delarosa Please post more of the fog.log. The snippet you posted cuts out any potential domain binding information.

@anthony-delarosa the log indicates that Join Domain after image task is not checked for the host. You can find this setting under Active Directory on the host / group.

i already tried that but let me try again and see if it even reboots, also it does say “after image” and this was not after the image but rather a computer name change and re-join. let me try that again, thanks for your help btw

@anthony.delarosa
it happened to me 2 days ago…
for my problematic host, disabling AD settings and then re enabling, put all things to work.

it really reminded me of the ‘it crowd’ series…lol

thanks guys! I got it working, i ended up using the Domain Password Legacy and checking the “Join Domain after Image Task” worked. I don’t know something wonky happened.

@anthony.delarosa The legacy pass field is in no way, shape, or form used by the new client. Probably ticking the “Join Domain” checkbox and saving caused the machine to Join the Domain.
