Solved hosts registration

[LaurentB]

Hi all !
I have a problem with fog with some computers that i can’t see in the console in pending hosts.

I install a new server in a debian and with FOG_1.5.0, i want to use FOG for snapins so, i install (manually) the FOG Client in some computers.

Next i go in my web interface and see only a few hosts in “Host Management”…
If i look in c:\fog.log i see that log :

I try to reboot the host many time, i reboot the apache2, i reboot the server… but i’m lost !

Do you have any idea of what appen ?

Thanks !

Ok thanks.

@laurentb go in GUI, click hosts, find the host saying this, click on it to edit. At top of page you should see a big orange button saying “reset encryption data”

[LaurentB]

@Tom-Elliott no i dont’ because i dont’ know how…:)
(but if you coul’d explain it to me i will keep the info if i have the case another time).

[Tom Elliott]

I’m just going on a limb but the log message you provided says “Invalid Security Token”. I’m going to guess you already performed the “reset encryption data” for them?

Note for admins… i want to mark the topic as “Solved” but i don’t see the option…

@Wayne-Workman and @Joe-Schmitt thanks a lot for your help guys but it works now !!!
i finaly found what’s wrong… !!!

@Joe-Schmitt yes the computer isn’t showing up under all hosts AND pending.

For your information, i try to install a previous version of FOG (1.4.4) and i use a couple of computers for my tests.

After this i install “the real” server with the lastest version 1.5.0
After that i try to delete and install the FOG client with the sames computers AND some others.
Like i said some of them don’t works…

SO, with the computers that were not working I totally uninstall FOG CLIENT, I purge the registry, i reboot…
AND i make a new clean installation and it works !!!

At the end i think there was a bad key left in the registry despite the “classic” uninstall.

Thanks again.

@LaurentB Is that client log from a computer which isn’t showing up under all hosts AND pending?

• @Wayne-Workman there’s no indication that this is a database issue yet, so it’d be best to avoid running destructive SQL commands until we know more.

[Wayne Workman]

@laurentb I’m not sure what’s wrong. I suggest you run the database maintenance commands in this link to see if that resolves the problem. Also preemptively asking @joe-schmitt to look at this thread.

[LaurentB]

@Wayne-Workman For those whom I see yes but the problem is that some host are not visible at all

[Wayne Workman]

@laurentb Did you accept the pending hosts?
