Solved Not joining domain after imaging

[BenR]

Hey everyone,

After imaging a machine with Win10, the FOG client does not automatically join the domain. The FOG service is already running after imaging. I tried clearing and inputting the AD info, and using the debugger after seeing this post* , but neither worked. The dump shows the correct user/password.

I’m not sure what else to do. Does anyone have advice?

[Sebastian Roth]

@BenR Don’t know from the top of my head right now as I have not coded the fog client. Could be registry setting. Probably easiest way is to purge and re-install the FOG client on that machine. Sorry but that’s the quick solution.

[BenR]

@Sebastian-Roth Oh wow. I can’t believe I miss that. We changed our servers IP address, seems like I missed updating a field somewhere…

What files/settings need to be updated?

[Sebastian Roth]

@BenR Well the log seems pretty clear, the client cannot contact the FOG server. Make sure the IP mentioned in the logs is correct and there is no firewall preventing the communication.

[BenR]

@Sebastian-Roth Here you go.

@BenR The ERROR: Unable to get subsection is just a subsequent error. We need the full log to be able to help. With full I mean from the last time when the PC booted.

[BenR]

@Sebastian-Roth I found a text file called “fog” in that directory, but not anything called “fog.log”

All the categories except UderTracker have the same text under it.

@BenR Is fog client software installed on the win 10 machine? Possibly the log is in C:\Program (x86)\fog\fog.log…

[BenR]

@Wayne-Workman said in Not joining domain after imaging:

@BenR We need a section from the fog log file to help you. It’s here: C:\fog.log The errors in there are the actual windows errors returned from windows. There will be an error code. If you post a big chunk of the log (including error), I will take that and go look it up here and tell you what’s wrong.

I couldn’t find fog.log. I installed a vanilla version of Win10, captured the image with FOG, and imaged it again. Is there step I’m missing?
