Windows 7 randomly rebooting with FOG Client installed?

[jdorst]

hi everyone, I recently installed the fog client onto a bunch of computers running W7x86 (SP1) and now i am getting reports that they are randomly rebooting without any warning. The event viewer isn’t pointing to anything going wrong either.

Is anyone else experiencing this?? I really want to be able to use FOG.

thanks!

I had this several years ago and I think it is either the Auto logout feature not working with windows 7 or the task reboot service module. What does the fog log tell you?

I would disable the task reboot, and auto log out services globally in the FOG management under fog configuration. That should fix or narrow down the issue.

Yeah, the FOG log on the client (C:/fog.log by default) would probably tell you why the client was rebooting the computer. You can also check if forcerestart=1 in C:\Program Files\FOG\etc\config.ini.

Reboot options can be set several ways in the FOG manager too:

[B]Auto logoff[/B]
[LIST]
[][B]FOG Configuration > Auto Log Out[/B] or
[][B]Other Information > FOG Settings > FOG Service - Auto Log Off[/B] or
[*][B]Group Management > [I]myGroup[/I] > Service Settings[/B]
[/LIST]
Remember that “Auto logoff” reboots the client computers after it times out.

[B]Task reboot[/B]
[LIST]
[][B]FOG Configuration > Task Reboot[/B] or
[][B]Other Information > FOG Settings > FOG_SERVICE_TASKREBOOT_ENABLED > 1[/B] or
[][B]Group Management > [I]myGroup[/I] > Service Settings[/B]
[/LIST]
[B]Shutdown/Reboot[/B]
[LIST]
[][B]FOG Configuration > Green FOG[/B] (Only if no user is logged in) or
[*][B]Group Management > [I]myGroup[/I] > Service Settings[/B]
[/LIST]
