Solved FOG 2734: HostnameChanger doesn't work.

[2cool4me4]

On a newly imaged system, the hostname never changes. Here’s the relevant section of the fog.log:

[CODE] 12/12/2014 12:25 PM FOG::HostnameChanger Attempting to connect to fog server…
12/12/2014 12:25 PM FOG::HostnameChanger Module is active…

Don’t know if it’s related, but there appears to be an issue with AutoLogOut as well.

[CODE] 12/12/2014 12:25 PM FOG::AutoLogOut Module is active…
12/12/2014 12:25 PM FOG::AutoLogOut Timeout value is Zero, disabling module.

I’ve also attached the full fog.log

EDIT: The full log appears to have sections omitted. Well, you have what I know.

I’m currently on 1.2.0. Is there an update I can grab that can hopefully fix this issue or should I wait for the new release which looks like might fix a bunch of issues since the code was reworked.

[Tom Elliott]

The cloud icon of the GUI should show the version. If you’re on SVN version it’ll show something like 2798, if on a “stable” version it should show 1.X.X

[jamesb]

I’m having this issue to. However I’m not sure if I’m on 2789 or not. Where would I look in fog to find that out and if I’m not how would I update it.

[2cool4me4]

I can confirm this. The hostname changes if the computer is not marked to add to AD. However, it still won’t join the AD after it’s been marked to do so.

[Tom Elliott]

I don’t know what was causing the problem, but I just tested every item I could think of on the client and everything passed with flying colors. The ONLY thing I did not test was AD joining, though I believe it should work.

Hopefully all of this works.

Same issue with 2789

[2cool4me4]

Oof… Having a read only Friday.

I’ll try later. Not near the server at the moment.

Can you try the latest and greatest 2789?
