Some machines not talking to fog from service?

[reggiep]

I noticed that some of our windows 7 machines were not tuning off at night the other day when looking through some logs. I took a look at the fog log and saw this message…
[QUOTE]21/01/2014 13:34 FOG::GreenFog Sleeping for 1 minute.
21/01/2014 13:34 FOG::SnapinClient Failed to connect to fog server!

but on another machine in the same room i get …
[QUOTE] 22/01/2014 09:32 FOG::SnapinClient Module is active…
22/01/2014 09:32 FOG::SnapinClient No Tasks found for: E8:9A:8F:F4:F2:59[/QUOTE]
and the machine reboots fine.

I tried reinstalling the fog client but get the same issue!

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

What fog version are you running? FOG 0.32, FOG 0.33?

I knew I’d miss something! v 0.29 at the moment.

This message, in particular, means it’s not communicating with the FOG Server:
21/01/2014 13:34 FOG::SnapinClient at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadDataInternal(Uri address, WebRequest& request)
at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(Uri address)
at FOG.SnapinClient.startWatching()

For that machine, check the:

IF 32 BIT Windows 7
C:\Program Files\FOG\etc\config.ini

IF 64 BIT Windows 7
C:\Program Files (x86)\FOG\etc\config.ini

Check to verify the ipaddress is set correctly on the system that’s giving you issues.

If not, simply uninstall the FOG Client, and reinstall it (or just add the ipaddress in the appropriate field) making sure to set the fog server information on the system.

Cheers, I’ll take a look, they are 64 bit, just out of interest.

Hmm, I checked and it is correct? thinking about it I did look at the other day when I had the problem.

This couldn’t be a firewall thing could it?
