I think its maybe need an authentification with the adminastrator credentials from the domain but i don’t know where i can put them ?

Someone can help me ?

Thanks !

@btoffolon The communication between fog-client and FOG server is definitely not working right. Though I can’t tell you why because we are missing some essential information from the logs. You posted a fair amount of the log but the actual error that is causing the problem ist missing. Please post more of the log file.

[btoffolon]

@sebastian-roth Thanks for you answer, here the complete log file.

Thanks for your help

[Sebastian Roth]

@btoffolon In the logs I found the following:

04/11/2021 14:08:56 Middleware::Response Invalid security token

Looks like a “simple hickup” in the communication between FOG server and fog-client because it worked just fine before that error. Please go to the FOG web UI open this particular host’s settings and click the “Resetz Encryption Data” button. This should fix it.

@sebastian-roth Badly it’s not working, but i don’t have log since yesterday with this host.
i had printer on a other hosts and try the same thing but it doesn’t work either and the log file does not have log since. I’m in a domain and some users can’t add printers, maybe i need to add credentials somewhere ? i deploy my computers with active directory integration and it’s works so i thought that was enought but maybe i forget something.

@btoffolon said in Fog client does not add printers:

Well if you don’t see new logs coming in it might mean the FOGService is not running on this system. Check the Windows services list to see if it’s running.

@sebastian-roth Hi,
I check and the service is shutdown, when i try to start it i have an error from windows it said :

Windows couldn’t start the service FogService on the local computer.
Error 1068 : The service or dependency group couldn’t start

I search on the event viewer and i get this error :

Maybe you have already seen this ?

[Sebastian Roth]

@btoffolon I haven’t seen that happening before. Seems like the so called Service Control Manager (SCM) is having an issue on this machine?!

[btoffolon]

@sebastian-roth i will make son tests, i have others models of computers i come back to you. Thanks

[btoffolon]

@sebastian-roth hi,
does the fog client use an user ? my computers are on a domain maybe the service can’t launch because the user used is not allowed ?

[Sebastian Roth]

@btoffolon The fog-client (FOGService) is run as local SYSTEM account.
