      Really quick (possibly stupid) question, with the amount of computers that would periodically check the FOG server for snap-in pushes every 20 seconds, would that bog down the overall network bandwidth?

        It would increase network traffic, but when testing this with wireshark on my network I didn’t notice too much of an increase in overall traffic.

        The pro’s of having this solution is reduced image and deployment time. The con’s being a slight increase in overall network traffic (but marginal on a 450 - 500 networked system here at work.

        Let me know what you find in your overall network traffic, I’m curious. 😃

        thanks.

          Another question: I don’t have any compilers I can use to recompile the .dll file. Would the file you provided, work when I stick it into the FOG folder? Or would I need to recompile it? Thanks!

            Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

            The .dll I provided goes in the client folder (C:\program files (x86)\fog) or just program files on an 32bit os.

            You don’t have to re-compile it, it’s already been modified for a 20 second check in time 😃

              Excellent! Ty ssx, I’ll go ahead and start regulating my current bandwidth before I implement the .dll file. We got our network worked on and now we got a whole heck a lot of more bandwidth. We’ll see how it goes!

                You may want to start small and monitor your network traffic while implementing this. I didn’t notice any large scale increase in overall network traffic by YMMV.

                Remember you can switch back at any time by swapping the .dll back and restarting the fog service.

                Enjoy.

                  I think I came to the conclusion that I’ll just stick the modified .dll file into my “guinea pig” computer only, when I want to test out some new snap-ins I’ve made. If I can conclude that the snap-in works, I wouldn’t have to worry about having the recipient computer waiting 5 minutes. Therefore, I feel as though there isn’t a need to put it on all of the computers on the network.

                  Thanks for the file though! it’ll definitely help me in the long run!

                    I have lowered the initial snapin client wait from ~5.5minutes - 8.3minutes to 30seconds - 60seconds for the 0.33 release.

                    I cannot see any issue in lowering the initial wait time. The client simply performs 1 HTTP request.

                      I see! Duly noted. I was just reporting back from my guinea pig computer and it turns out the .dll file didn’t lower down the snapinclientmanager “query.” It still remains at 5 minutes; I must be special 😞

                        The client (including the snapin dll) has not been recompiled yet. This will be done when 0.33 is released.

                              Here we go…

                              i have recompiled the msi pakage for two ways,
                              faster snapinclient.dll & faster snapinclient.dll and no fog tray autostart entry.

                              See attachments.
