Thank you!

What OS are you using to connect to the api? Shameless plug here for the api powershell module. I have a function called Set-FogServerSettings that helps with just inputting the api keys and it will handle the authentication from there with any function call. See the links in my signature. I originally made it cross-platform but it’s currently more windows oriented. Due to COVID-19 I am not working, which means I might have some free time (I say might because I also have a new baby). If you’re not running on windows I can dedicate some time to adding more linux support to the module since powershell core 6 and 7 are both cross platform on linux, mac, and windows. The module takes that simplified documentation and creates tab completable functions from the structure outlined in the documentation.

@RobTitian16 I realize this is a few month’s old. But you might want to check out and or contribute to the fog module I have in git and published in the powershellgallery, there’s a forum post with more info here https://forums.fogproject.org/post/120746 Also did you have a chance to try the code I posted back in september and see if that worked? Because it works for me. And looking again at your code I would ask what the value of $useAD is, is it 1 it should be 1. And I would also try piping the object into convertto-json, I’ve had better luck with that, I think it parses it different i.e. $CreateHostJson = $HostJson | ConvertTo-Json I would also encapsulate everything in quotes on the splat. The only other thing that might be an issue is the ADPass. When you get the password via the api it is returned in plain text (because you already authenticated with api keys, so it’s not like just anyone can grab it). When you input the password in the gui you put it in plaintext and it encrypts when you hit save, I don’t think the same thing happens if you set it through the api. My solution has been to always enable the default AD settings when adding a host via the gui or the pxe menu. But it sounds like you’re adding the host through the api. The “useAD”=“1” in the json should be causing the checkbox for the ‘join domain after deploy’ to be checked. Sadly when you check it from the api it doesn’t pull the default domain settings. You might try creating the host without the AD settings and then sending just the AD settings in an update/put command. If you copy paste the already encrypted password from a working host in the gui, that might do the trick as it seems to pass whatever you put in that field to be in plaintext. So point is, try adding the domain stuff with an update api command after creating. And use the code I have in the example to help if needed.

A new version has been published! I haven’t yet completed all my goals. But about half or more of the functions have at least one example in their help file and there is now an online home for the documentation. You can find the published listing here https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/FogApi/2002.2.1.2 The documentation is now at https://fogapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ and the module’s code is now in its own repository at https://github.com/darksidemilk/FogApi Hopefully more updating still to come in the near future. I have thoughts and plans on creating a custom class for ‘fogObjects’ returned from the api to make things more universal throughout and make creating pipeline functions easier. Want to make it so most functions have 3 parameter sets that include performing the operation by id, name, or by object. We’ll see when I get to that.
