Fog Client error (not contacting fog server)
-
Hello,
I installed FOG at Office a few weeks ago to respond to a mass PC deployement quickly.
Today, we will use FOG “officially” at the office, so we want to deploy the fog client on users pc’s by gpo or a kixtart on logon. (For that here it’s not a problem)So i installed fog client on some local PC’s in my domain to see the “auto-register” feature working, but the PC’s are not contacting Fog server to register that ones.
So, my FOG server is installed on a virtual-box vm with the hostname “fogserver”.
So i found a trouble at the host registration step. I tryed lot of different settings in fog, but it’s always the same,
Hre you can see the fog.log of a client PC.

[/CODE]I hope you can help us using the client to register all our users, because we have to deploy VLC before the end of month :s.
Otherwise, congrats for the deployement tool!

Hi Fred, the host auto-register feature was discontinued in version .29(I think) You will want to manually register them or import the hostnames/MAC addresses from a file.

Hmmm strange, normally the good features continue and being developped.
Well i will try to do the job extracting some .csv’s for our multiple dhcp servers
Thanks anyway. Also new replys are welcome to recommend a tool or something.
Thanks,

I am not sure why it was discontinued but the developers are shooting to bring it back in the next release. You can run a report in SCCM to get hostnames and MACS or the free SoftPerfect Network Scanner can also generate .csv’s for you if your shop does not use SCCM.
