      Hi Guys

      I’m running FOGTrunk 5566 with FOG client 0.9.7 on Windows 8.1 clients.

      When I power on a Windows 8.1 client, the first time the FOG client service connects, it sometimes gives communication ERROR: Could not contact FOG server. After 60 seconds, the clients connects again to the FOG server, this time succesfully.

      The big problem now is: the Authentication module only communicates with the FOG server during FOG service startup. If the communication module fails to connect, the taskReboot and HostnameChanger module fail to do their job, because they use the encrypted channel if I’m not mistaken.

      We can work around this problem by restarting to FOG service a few minutes after the windows 8.1 client is powered on.
      This causes big problems during deployment because the FOG client handles the hostname changing and active directory joining.

      Any ideas?

      fog.log right after system startup:

        When you have the “Could not contact” can you get the apache error logs?

        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.

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

          Nothing shows up in the apache error logs, because the FOGservice is not connecting to the FOG server (I’ve just checked the apache error log).
          I think the problem is that the FOG service starts up too fast. It’s already running when the network interface initialization hasn’t been completed yet in Windows.

          I’ve now configured the FOG service to startup delayed. This resolves the issue!

          A better solution should be that the Authentication module would run each time the FOGservice checks in and not only during FOGservice startup.

          An even better solution should be that FOGservice checks if the Windows network interface has a valid IP address before executing all the modules.

            @zavo the authentication does recheck when it needs to, not more often than that though. Why? Simple, security.

              @zavo , the problem is that the server still has an active encryption session from last boot, so re-authentication is not running. I’ll push a patch in a couple days (I need to ensure it won’t accidentally denial of service the server if there are errors on the server side).

                @zavo Thank you so much for reporting this. While working on this bug, I came across the reason why I was never able to get my v0.10 builds running on Windows! It was a problem with the authentication handshake stalling the Windows Service Controller. I’m currently re-designing how/when authentication happens in the client and will retrofit the patch onto v0.9.X shortly.

                This patch will also prevent the service from killing VM network connections for the first few minutes after windows starts.

                  @zavo v0.9.8 released. This should correct this issue. Can you confirm when you have a chance?
