@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

[kratkale]

@kratkale one special problem

This host is not willing to work witch the host Device entry BNE7N774610407R40 - I removed the host - performed a Full registration - filled out the host Device - same problem again.
Double check the blkid value … ???

[Tom Elliott]

@kratkale It’s likely looking at UTC time?

[Tom Elliott]

@kratkale The error I’ll have to look as it might come from the UI side but also ties in with how things occur on the FOS side (different repo.)

The task completed and marked the db, but apparently seems to be doing so in one swoop.

As for why it’s not seeing the same serial, that I don’t know how you’re getting the serial/size of the disks? that’s the same for that specific machine saying that serial doesn’t exist?

I mean the same serial should not exist for different machines. (Plain and simple)

You can boot the issue machine into debug mode (cancel the existing tasking, then redo the same tasking but check the “Debug” checkbox before you submit it.

Then run that same lsblk -pdno SERIAL,SIZE after pressing enter and getting dropped into the console to type commands.

My guess is the serial for that machine is NOT BNE7n774610407R40, otherwise there’d be huge issues in shipping equipment and inventory management.

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott
no the difference is not one hour - it is something in between

[kratkale]

This post is deleted!

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott
clonzilla started
Gained “root” privileges using sudo su
Ran lsblk -pdno => BNE7N774610407R40 identified as the system disk.

Entered into the FOG GUI

An attempt to clone the device results in the following error

Even deleting the PC from the database and adding it again did not solve the problem.
I’m not in the office right now or tomorrow, so I won’t be able to check the debug mode until Monday.
So far, this has happened with exactly one PC (I haven’t tried cloning the other 38 PCs yet). I followed the exact same procedure for the 23 devices I’ve already cloned, and everything works fine on those. This error has only occurred with PC115CAD so far.

[Tom Elliott]

@kratkale the last 0 is an O (ohhhhh) not a 0 (zero)

[kratkale]

@Tom-Elliott

yes - you are right …

[Tom Elliott]

@kratkale Did changing the serial on the host in question get it imaging to the right drive?
