      Hello,
      i just updated my fog server to 1.3.
      Today i had to image an old pc with old client (0.9.12) installed. (client present into the image)
      Then i activated hostname changer (active directory settings) but nothing happened.
      I had to manually upgrade client version. (0.11.5)
      After that hostname changer worked fine.

      Is it normal ?
      Does that means fog 1.3 is not compatible with old client version ?
      Is there a way to upgrade all client automatically?

        I had this issue, i had to upgrade 0.9.12 to 11.5.

        I ran a gpo to upgrade the client.

        Used orca to edit the msi file and add the ip address of my fog server. Then created GPO for installing software and selected the MSI.

        The client updates, but needs a reboot for the services to startup.

        Also had to update my images to include the new client.

        Hope this helps

            Do you think the solution could be to use Snapins to install new version of the client from 0.9.12 to 0.11.5 ?
            As this page show SmartInstaller Switches

              @plegrand 0.9.12 should upgrade just fine 0.11.5 (you may have to reset encryption data though). The auto updating protocol is compatible with all versions of the new client (starting with the initial release of 0.7.0).

              Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

                        I had the same issue, reset encryption but it client did not auto update. My fix was the GPO to install the new client as mentioned earlier.

                        I got an authentication error on the log.

                        Was just looking to see if i uploaded an error log on my old posts
