interesting.

Let me see, that message is old as technically it’s sftp or should be.

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott
sftp needs also a pw …

[Tom Elliott]

@kratkale Did updating the password on the global settings piece fix things? We know the storage node seems to be working (theoretically)

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott
do you mean here:

this did not help - same error

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott
winscp works …
I changed the password:

1. root@fog:~# passwd fogproject
2. mysql in the table globalSettings and globalSettings

still the same problem

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott
Test from the Client PC102CAD:
Could the Key be the problem?

I can download as user fogproject with winscp the file …

[Tom Elliott]

@kratkale It’s possible but I doubt it.

[Tom Elliott]

@kratkale In fact, I believe it’s using ftp from the client -> fog server to download the file because the client is coded separately and I don’t know any C# unfortunately.

Can you try simple FTP -> FOG SErver, with the same username/password pair?

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott
here is a mistake …

I change and check it then tomorrow …

[Tom Elliott]

@kratkale that would make sense if the ids don’t match the actual user, apologies on not having you check this part sooner, and I never thought to check the directory permissions, so thank you for that.

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott

Here we go …

You just saved my life—I was really about to give up on everything before that…

I’m going to start testing the system now. I find the hourglass a bit odd.
Are there any test tasks?

@Tom-Elliott
multicast with 5 PC worked
joining Domain did not work with 4 PC one was joining:
Here relevant parts of the log?!

Renaming and Joining the domain as local PC admin localy worked with

Aktuellen Computernamen holen

$currentName = $env:COMPUTERNAME

IPv4-Adresse ermitteln, bei der das 3. Oktett = 0 ist

$ip = Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4 |
Where-Object {
$.IPAddress -notlike “127.*” -and
$.PrefixOrigin -ne “WellKnown” -and
($_.IPAddress.Split(‘.’)[2] -eq ‘0’)
} |
Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty IPAddress

if (-not $ip) {
Write-Host “Keine gültige IPv4-Adresse mit drittem Oktett = 0 gefunden!” -ForegroundColor Red
exit
}

Letztes Oktett extrahieren

$lastOctet = $ip.Split(‘.’)[-1]

Dreistellig formatieren

$number = “{0:D3}” -f [int]$lastOctet

Neuer Name

$newName = “PC${number}CAD”

Anzeige

Write-Host “Aktueller Name: $currentName”
Write-Host “Gefundene IP: $ip”
Write-Host “Neuer Name: $newName”
Write-Host “”

$domain = “MM.HTLWIEN10.AT”
$username = “MM.HTLWIEN10.AT\adminfog”
$password = “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username, $password)

Add-Computer -DomainName $domain -Credential $credential -Restart

so there seems to be no problem with the domain …

[Tom Elliott]

@kratkale The issue isn’t domain join but rather that machine (or those machines?) security tokens no longer match the security token they were initially given, most likely because the machine you cloned had a security token it passed in?

From the host(s) in question in the uI you can reset the security token:

I believe it’s similar for groups (if you wanted to put the 5 having issues into the same group and click reset encryption data.)

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott

did not help …

still aktive snapin - did not join the domain

next step to remove the client and reinstall.

I think with the next image I’ll try to install the client after cloning

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott
cloned again
during cloning the Reset Encryption Data done
joining domain worked

Intresting: have a look at time in the maria database and the system time …

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott

multicast wit 22 PC

one show 12 Host in tasking
the other 22

22 are waiting - but the do not start?

in the Task Management Active Tasks are all “In-Progress”

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott
next test …

5 PC in multicast

I’m missing the status om much percentage is cloned …

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott
cloning stops with an error - but the new image is working on the pc’s

it seems some problem with the Database.
Same situation with the next Group of 5 PC
