      You should really be starting with Unicast, then working your way up to Multicast. There are so many variables to Multicast (outside of FOG’s control) that can make it unstable and unpredictable.

      Uploading is not apart of multicast, so you have another problem there.

      Images should be roughly 1/2 the size. So that sounds too small.

      Make sure you are running [B]chkdsk /f c:[/B] before you take images up. Filesystem mishaps will cause image uploads to fail unexpectedly.

      The machine will reboot, unless you ticked ‘Shutdown after task’

        Looks like there’s disk errors on our Master which I’m correcting. I did get the original image to unicast to multiple successfully so I’ll work with that for now. Some here think an upgrade from .30 to.32 is a panacea but from what you’re telling me and my observations that may not be the case. Once again, thanks for your guidance and helpful suggestions.

          I assumed you were on the latest version. That is the first thing to do if you are having problems.

          I’m running 0.32 with no problems, as are many others.

          If you are still on 0.30 i would suggest upgrading.
          The new Web UI is leaps and bounds ahead of the old interface, not to mention all of the other work that makes it more stable.

          Don’t be one of those people who are scared to upgrade. Trust me, once you upgrade you will wonder why you havent done so sooner.

            We planned on going there. The issue is that the admin who first installed it used RedHat 2.6.18 and had to heavily modify the install script. Would I be better to build a new server using one of the preferred versions in the install guide and migrate everything over from the existing server or suffer the slings and arrows of an in place upgrade on something that was a bear the first time around? Once again, your advice is timely and expert. Thanks.

              I would not use RedHat… I have used it a lot in the past, the application support is sub par. I always ran into issues when installing almost everything that hasn’t been specially packaged for RedHat.

              I highly recommend Debian (expert) or Ubuntu (easy - built from debian though) as it’s package manager (apt) is leaps and bounds ahead of anything else in the Linux world. They are also VERY strict when accepting new packages, so everything is always in the correct location. (see FHS: [url]http://www.pathname.com/fhs/[/url]). All of this makes both distributions extremely easy to manage.

              If you are unsure, i would practice on a VM first, then move to the real thing.

                  Spoke in depth with our senior admin and he said that by following the CentOS install guide, he was able to successfully install on RedHat. He did want me to ask about CentOS compatibility. I offered your suggestion of Debian but he countered with issues concerning iSCSI support for our SAN and other issues. Thanks again for your support.

                    [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installation_on_CentOS_5.3[/url]

                    I have FOG running on 28 or so CentOS boxes, all are CentOS 5.7 with one exception being CentOS 6.2. They are all very reliable boxes, only issues with install was getting rights correctly set and the hidden .mntcheck file in there. These are by no means server grade machines either they are re-purposed desktops.

                        CentOS should work fine and is supported by the installer.

                        Most admins have a favorite a distribution/religion… i understand 🙂 Trying something new is hard, why bother.
