Excessive client checkins in Apache Access log

[Neil Underwood]

EDIT - I meant to post this to Fog Problems. Wasn’t paying attention.

Having a strange issue with one client PC in particular. It is flooding the Apache Access log with checkins to the tune of 3-4 times per second. Any idea why? I just deployed this thing recently to replace a PC that had been infected with Cryptowall.

Can you provide the fog.log file from the client that is doing this?

Or any client that is doing this.

Didn’t think to check there. Here you go:

This is repeated many times. Spam filter won’t let me post it all though.

I finally got a chance to control the PC in question and it appears that the FOG service that was installed was the legacy service from the previous image. In addition, it wasn’t even running (or at least the tray icon wasn’t present. I uninstalled and installed the new client service and the errors went away. I am only left with this now:
