      ok so set the new server up today with Ubuntu 12.04.4 and fog 1.1.2, bit confused when running the fog installer were it asks if you want to add a ip for the router for the dhcp server and the dns part I think ive done it right though by adding my windows dhcp server in and the windows server dns ip.

      I can access the web interface and all seams ok I did a quick test and changed option 66+67 from the old server tot he new on and pxe booted a client and it came up with the new servers pxe screen.

      on the old server currently it auto joins the domain and renames clients. if I copy the encrypted password used for the network account will that encrypted password work for the new server or will I need to run fogcrypt again using the new servers fogcrypt client.

            Thanks junk that saves one job and I can just copy and paste the encrypted password from the old fog server.

            Does it look like I installed fog correctly to add into a windows network from what I said in my previous post.

              just from what you’ve described, it sounds right to me. remember that on 1.0+ Active Directory credentials have changed. you no longer need to put the domain in the username field.
              previously it was “domain\user” now it is just “user”

                Great. Yea I read in another thread that domain\ isn’t needed now so I only out user in.

                Just debating now how best to make a image wether I should make a golden image and if so how. Or do I make a seprate image per machine type I think there’s ruffly 4-6 different machine types.

                  Hi Ive attached my install log file could someone have a check through and see if it looks right for been installed into a windows network were we have a DHCP server already etc.

                  its these two settings which worry me as am not sure if I have done right by putting the details for my windows dhcp and dns server in these sections.

                  Would you like to setup a router address for the DHCP server? [Y/n]
                  What is the IP address to be used for the router on the DHCP server? [10.160.112.1]10.160.112.10

                  Would you like to setup a DNS address for the DHCP server and client boot image? [Y/n]
                  What is the IP address to be used for DNS on the DHCP server and client boot image? [127.0.0.1] 10.160.112.10

                    is 10.160.112.1 your DHCP server in your current network? or is 10.160.112.10 your dhcp server?

                    My recommendation is to use DNSMASQ to help to alleviate the issues of working with a DHCP server. It is a proxy boot service that helps to issue ip addresses to machines during the pxe boot process, this also helps to find the boot file.

                    Your log file looks okay, I would start by verifying that the DNS server and the DHCP server are in fact one in the same and that the address you are using is correct. IF that is the case, try using DNSMASQ to help to resolve to your FOG server.

                        Then your settings, as far as I can tell, are correct.

                        If you have difficulties when resolving your tftp server or bootfile name please look into the DNSMASQ solution I have provided.

                          Fingers crossed it should be fine. like i say it pxe boots to the new server when i change option 66+67 and ive started to make a image and the vm registered in fog correctly as far as i can tell, just need to download the driver packs from home now as torrents are blocked on the work isp.

                          thanks for all the help ill be back if i get stuck
