Fog server refusing connection to clients

@george1421
Okay heres something wild, I dont know how but a random users PC just registered itself on the Fog server, though I havent set my script to deploy to anyone, only a specific OU…So I guess the good news is that it worked for one machine, the bad news is I think I just pushed Fog out prematurely
edit: Okay turns out I deployed it somehow, no going back now. At least its worked for one computer!

@george1421 I was able to get the MDT server up and running.
This is the install.cmd file for installing the FOG client in the Golden image before image capture. The only thing different from what you need to do is for the golden image we need to stop the fog service so that it doesn’t start running during WinSetup/OOBE.
@Echo Off start /wait msiexec.exe /i FOGService.msi /quiet USETRAY="0" WEBADDRESS="192.168.1.53" net stop "FogService" sc config "FogService" start= disabledI can’t seem to find the firewall command, it was a firewall advanced command syntax. I’ll keep looking for a little bit, but not very long since it appears your systems are starting to chat in.

Okay interesting, so on mine I have the batch file look for existing installations of FOG, if theres non then just run the MSI, seems to have worked for that one client, but theres no way of telling since registering on the fog server seems sporadic right now
Also found the firewall things here;

Appears I’ve got somewhere with this, now i’m having the following in my log
Service ERROR: Input string was not in a correct format. -
@Samuel1010 Please give us some more context. In which log do you see this error? Please post more information or possibly a picture of where you see this.

Sorry for the late reply, had a catastrophe with our server and had to rebuild it.
The only thing imported are the images and now I’m on Ubuntu.
The log is on my Windows 7 PC in the user folder, this is the most recent after the server rebuild
So what I’m expecting is having computers with the FOG client on, to be displayed in the hosts menu in FOG, but they arent listed, they get listed if I register them in PXE.
My log is reading;

@Samuel1010 said in Fog server refusing connection to clients:
Service ERROR: Unable to parse sleep time
I am wondering if your settings file is corrupt. Can you please take a look at
C:\Program Files (x86)\FOG\settings.jsonand post the full contents here. -
{ "HTTPS": "0", "Tray": "1", "Server": "fogserver", "WebRoot": "/fog", "Version": "0.11.16", "Company": "FOG", "RootLog": "1" }Just checked again on my hosts, still only showing the ones I’ve added via registration in pxe
-
@Samuel1010 is there a dns entry for the name
fogserverand does it point at your actual fogserver? -
Yeah I have it under the A name in my DNS, the actual client for other computers uses IP as well, so both are being used
-
@Samuel1010 Is the fogserver still configured with either selinux and/or firewall?
sudo sestatus
sudo iptables -L -n -
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source Destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source Destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source DestinationFor iptables. Appreciate the help on this!
