      Interesting.

      I have tried it on two different freshly installed fog boxes with simply importing Mac and hostname.

      Can you try to create a new group with all your machines in it and let me know if it works?

      I can create a group with more than 1000, i just have to add them in small amounts.

        I just created a new group and had all the computers move to it without any issues. It added over 8600 PC’s over without any issues.

              I may have made some progress.
              i was doing a mysql dump from OCS-NG and importing that.

              I don’t think FOG likes the fact that some machines have upwards of 3 MACs and so it’s causing issues.

              I found the OCS import plugin located here: [URL=‘http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3184712&group_id=201099&atid=976201’]OCS Plugin[/URL]

              I am now using that to import machines in, and groups are working fine.

              Again I’m not really sure why this works and that doesn’t, and i’m not sure how to test it.

                It might not like it on importing it, but once imported, it doesn’t really matter how many MAC’s you have. Actually, one of the features to FOG is adding multiple MAC’s to a single machine. However, where you might be running into issues is the primary MAC. I’m going off of memory at this point, however, I think you can only run commands (imaging, run tasks etc) with the primary MAC for that machine. So if you’re doing a batch import on laptops for instance, the primary MAC could be wireless which could be causing issues.

                  I’m guessing you are correct, when they export they are in no specific order that I can tell so I would no be surprised if a wlan car or even a bluetooth adapter ended up first on the list.

                  Unless you think it’s worth looking at getting this changed, I will look at getting this moved out of the bugs, and putting a edit in the first comment about importing from OCS.

                    What we could do is actually put in for a feature request to allow FOG to use any MAC address associated with a PC. That way, it wouldn’t matter if the wireless, bluetooth, additional NIC’s are set as the primary, it would default to whatever interface is currently accessing FOG.

                        I’ve made these suggestions in 1.x.x where it should find hosts and use whatever mac is attached so long as it is registered to the host as an additional MAC. Hopefully people are finding this a nice addition.

                        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.
