Active Directory registration not working Windows 7 x64 client

Hi Bob, I’ve already posted it. It’s in the top of my code block under ‘Web service’.

Also, I did notice in the other post about patching the .dll that Wolf mentioned, it said that there is updated hostnamechanger.dll source in the SVN. I did actually try and get that over the weekend, but the SVN only pulled all of the source except for the Windows code for hostnamechanger.dll. The code I used to patch the .dll with my passkey was from the main distributable for 1.2.0 on SourceForge, fog_1.2.0.tar.gz.

Thanks!

[Joe Schmitt]

Sorry about that, I didn’t see you included that info. It would seem that you did not build with the patched version. SVN no longer includes our legacy client and the source file in fog_1.2.0.tar.gz is not patched. Please use this version instead:

[Ddog800]

Awesome, I’ll pull it down now and give it a go. I’ll post an update once I’ve completed the testing.

Thanks guys!

OK, I’ve recompiled hostnamechanger.dll from the Git repository and everything is now working as expected. Thanks again for the help!

[Berend de Boer]

Is it possible to make a new hostnamechanger.dll available for download? I’m having problems too with connecting Windows 7 x64 clients. Haven’t checked for this particular message yet, but in case I have it, would be useful to give a new hostnamechanger.dll with default passphrase encryption a go.

[Joe Schmitt]

Per-request a patched version of the HostNameChanger dll with the default pass key. Please ensure the file name is correct (it may be wrong).

[Berend de Boer]

Yeah, the name was HostNameChange.dll. But didn’t work for me. Where is that fog.log talked about above? Couldn’t find this. Anyway to enable debugging to see if it at least gets activated and to check where it fails?

[Berend de Boer]

Sorry, found c:\fog.log, but it’s basically empty. Can I trigger HostNameChange.dll manually?

[Tom Elliott]

[code]net stop “FOG Service”
del c:\fog.log
net start “FOG Service”[/code]

[Tom Elliott]

To watch the log, open a powershell and run:

[code]get-content -wait c:\fog.log[/code]

[Berend de Boer]

Much appreciated Tom, with powershell, first time I’ve used this, I was able to get the contents, seems log gets emptied at some point. This is what I see:

Error looks similar to [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-hostnamechanger-padding-is-invalid-and-cannot-be-removed.1078/’]this thread[/URL].

Had an a.b.c style DOMAIN, Administrator user did not have domain name in front. Have triple checked I got the password correct. The user is “Administrator” i.e. with all permissions as of this moment, as I’m trying to debug one problem at a time.

This is what I get with the original HostnameChange.dll:

PS: had to split posts, as get a message that this was marked as spam by Askimet or something like that.

From your comments [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/requests-for-wiki-access-ask-here.3811/page-2#post-42253’]here[/URL]. I am assuming that you have partly figured this out?

This error usually occurs due to the password not being encrypted correctly.

Check here and double check your settings.

OR the user you are inputting does not have the proper rights in your AD to join computers to the domain.

It is worth mentioning that this user needs to be a domain user with rights to add computers to the domain, not a user on the computer.

Yep, it’s the domain administrator. I just wanted to avoid having permission issues, so using max permissions for now.

That’s what one would think, but have triple checked the password, and got another person to check the encrypted password too.

But note I was using the old HostnameChanger and the new one. What error does indicate password not being encrypted correctly? Because I got different errors in both cases.

16/02/2015 2:49 p.m. FOG::HostnameChanger Domain Error! (‘Unknown Error’ Code: 1791)
16/02/2015 2:49 p.m. FOG::HostnameChanger Domain Error! (‘Unknown Error’ Code: 1326)

Those errors are messages coming directly from microsoft during the domain join process.

Look them up and you may have a better/clearer answer. The error codes you see are not FOG generated

[Joseph Hales]

The error codes appear to be as per [url]http://www.hiteksoftware.com/knowledge/articles/049.htm[/url]
[SIZE=4][FONT=arial][COLOR=#000000]1326 Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 42287, member: 7271”]Look them up and you may have a better/clearer answer. The error codes you see are not FOG generated[/quote]

Yep, they are generated by the old HostnameChanger. But the new one says this:

[CODE]16/02/2015 2:41 p.m. FOG::HostnameChanger Padding is invalid and cannot be removed.
16/02/2015 2:41 p.m. FOG::HostnameChanger at System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManagedTransform.DecryptData(Byte
[] inputBuffer, Int32 inputOffset, Int32 inputCount, Byte[]& outputBuffer, Int32 outputOffset, PaddingMode paddingMode,
Boolean fLast)
at System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManagedTransform.TransformFinalBlock(Byte[] inputBuffer, Int32 inputOffset,
Int32 inputCount)
[/CODE]

As this is a different error message, does that mean that perhaps the encryption key of the new HostnameChanger is not the default one?

The old dll error message may seem to indicate I really have a problem with username/password, and I’ll check that again.

[Tom Elliott]

Which new one are you referring to?

The one from the github fogproject repo? Or the one from the fogservice repo?
