Clear Encrypted Data When Moved to New Switch Port

[Psycholiquid]

Did a test this morning and randomly after re-imaging the machine a few times it wont add back to the domain, reset the encryption and boom it works. Any idea why this is happening.

[Psycholiquid]

Yep will do. Going ot have to wait for it to mess up again I cant seem to force it.

This is what I am getting for the hostname changer part:

Trying to gather as much info as possible. This seems to be happening over night also. Re-imaged a machine more than 10 times yesterday without issue. Come in the morning and try to reimage it and the hostname problem is there again. I have attached the FOG client log for troubleshooting

fog.log

Screenshot of the Service Settings in Fog Configuration also

When creating the image I am installing the client to the windows 7 machine then running sysprep set to shutdown, then uploading to FOG. Not sure if that is relevant or not.

[Psycholiquid]

Would it be possible to turn this feature off. MY FOG is only internal and I don’t really have a need for the encryption. Unless I am way off-base and feel free to correct me if I am.

[Wayne Workman]

@Psycholiquid Are your FOG Service settings still the same as in the picture below?

You need the “FOG_New_Client” setting enabled to use the new client at all.

[Psycholiquid]

Yes setting have not been changed. I have now checked that and will be running a few tests. I’ll give an update after i reimage a few times and move ports around to see if I can break it.

[Joe Schmitt]

The encryption is not optional. Making it so would open up quite a few security holes.

[Psycholiquid]

@Jbob OK good to know. I will run these tests and see what happens.

[Psycholiquid]

Seems I can get 5 re-images out of it before the encryption data has to be reset. I have been able to move it from one port to another within that 5 and it not cause me to have to clear the Encryption data. But after 5 re-images it forces me to clear it to rename the host and join the domain.

Also as soon as I hit the clear button the computer renames and joins the domain without issue.

[Psycholiquid]

I can officially say it is every 5th image that is breaking it. I am not sure why but that happens on image 5 every time. Any ideas. I will try to upgrade to the latest SVN tomorrow to see if that helps but I am not sure that the server is the issue.

[Wayne Workman]

@Psycholiquid notifying @Jbob about it… this is his realm till the official release.

[Joe Schmitt]

Thanks for the notification Wayne. @Psycholiquid I will attempt to reproduce this issue in my vms. Is there anything special you are doing to the image? E.G. sysprepping?

[Psycholiquid]

If you need any information from me let me know I will post it.

[Joe Schmitt]

Can you give me the log files from each of the 5 re-images (that is log file from post-image #1, #2, …)?

[Joe Schmitt]

I just finished talking with Tom and we may have found a fringe case that would cause the issue you are seeing. As for why it happens ever 5 re-images we have no idea, but we are hoping its caused by this fringe case. Tom will push out a patch when he has time.
