Fog Clients not joining the domain.

[John L Clark]

I have 7394 on fog
Ubuntu 14.0.4
Windows 10
The new fog client

[John L Clark]

I have noticed that everytime I turn on one of the machines in the lab when it tries to join the domain it locks the AD account it uses to join the domain.

[Wayne Workman]

@John-L-Clark I don’t understand what you mean by “lock”. Does the account become disabled? Disabled/Enabled is verbatim the words used in Active Directory.

[John L Clark]

Yes i am sorry disabled. I fixed it for now, I have to go in and clear active directory on the host and then put a check in it again and to fill in the fields and it is working now.

[John L Clark]

The cause is the active directory settings in the group are blank and you can not change them. i will update to the latest version tonight and see how that goes.

[Wayne Workman]

@John-L-Clark Group settings are not persistent to the group itself, When you apply settings via groups, those are applied not to the group but to the hosts in the group. This is one-time, however many times you do it.

The article Password Central in the wiki explains it:

@John-L-Clark You should try 2 things. On that host in the fog gui, click the “reset encryption data” button and see if that fixes it.
If it does it should try to do the second thing for you, which would be updating to the latest fog client. The current version in .10.6 and you seem to have .9.12 and that error is from 5/5. So you should also check to make sure the fog service is started in services.msc

[John L Clark]

I can download the certificate manually and then i get this error

Well it’s good to know that the security implementations are working properly.

[John L Clark]

@Arrowhead-IT
The “reset encryption data” button is not there

I uninstalled the fog client and reinstalled the new version. This is not just one host, this is all hosts

[Tom Elliott]

@John-L-Clark I know what the problem is, I just don’t know how best to approach it yet.

[John L Clark]

ok uninstall and install of latest fog client works. Can I update all the fog clients without going to each machine?

[Tom Elliott]

@John-L-Clark I suppose you could do a GPO to uninstall and reinstall.

[Joe Schmitt]

Is auto updating not functioning?

[Joe Schmitt]

@Tom-Elliott, can you fix that? The module active file is not sensitive.

[Tom Elliott]

@Joe-Schmitt All fixed.

I just wanted to make sure.

[x23piracy]

@John-L-Clark if you are not familar with GPO’s i can recommend PDQ Deploy, in free Version it’s enough to deploy simple stuff around your network.

[John L Clark]

All is working now, thanks Tom
