Groups: Send capture task to all hosts in group to corresponding image
-
I think this may be a feature request unless there’s a way to do the following:
I have several VMs in a Group called Virtual Machines. Each VM is associated with its own image. I see that the Group only has an image deploy function and only one image can be associated with a Group. Can there be a different type of Group to say “The hosts in this Group are part of a task group” for instance. My goal is to be able to click one button to send a capture task to all hosts in a group to capture to their respective images. I tried using the cron style scheduler but it didn’t work at all. All of my VMs are running 24/7 to receive windows updates and stay current, and I’d like to update the images once a week.

@DBCountMan I don’t think FOG has this type of group function you want to use. Probably looking into using the FOG API to script this kind of thing or figure out why schedules don’t work will get you the quickest results. Have you checked the FOG scheduler logs on the server yet?
By the way, which version of FOG are we talking?

@Sebastian-Roth I know nothing about API’s so I wouldn’t know where to start with that, like even how to form a proper question to ask the google lol. I’m using FOG 1.5.10. I have to keep testing and troubleshooting the image cron jobs.
