Imaged Laptops and Desktops not connecting to the domain.

[Zirushton]

Hi all,

We are currently using Fog Trunk Version 8169. We have a lot of old Images on this fog which we’ve been using in their old form since we changed servers when we updated to 1.2.0 and therefore changed IP.

When we’d changed IP all the old images would run just fine but then if we wanted it to connect to the domain we’d have to go into the laptop, change the IP in the Config file in Fog and then restart the Service. That would then connect the machine to the domain with no issues.

We’re still using these old images on Fog Trunk however they’re no longer working as intended. The image installs (Software, Windows 7 etc) but it won’t connect onto the domain, even if it has the correct IP for the Fog server.

We’ve added a new password through FogCrypt and that hasn’t solved anything and we’ve tried the same work around we where using with 1.2.0 and that also isn’t working.

any ideas?

Does just changing the IP address in the config file resolve all of your issues with these older images?

If that is the case you can create a fog post install script to “patch” the config file. The basic concept is that after partclone places the image on the target computer, the fog task sequence calls an external postinstall shell script, that you could hook into to call your update fog settings script.

The actual code would be akin to how I update the setupcomplete.cmd file as I’m developing our golden image. Understand this code snippet doesn't contain any error checking. This is the basics of what needs to be done.

#!/bin/bash

. /usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.sh
# windows 7
osdiskpart="/dev/sda2";

mkdir /ntfs 2>/dev/null

mount.ntfs-3g "${osdiskpart}" /ntfs 2>/dev/null

if [ -f "/images/Patch/SetupComplete.cmd" ]; then
    cp /images/Patch/SetupComplete.cmd /ntfs/Windows/Setup/Scripts/SetupComplete.cmd;
fi

umount /ntfs

The basic concept of this script would be to mount the target computer’s drive then to copy the new fog client configuration file to the target computer, and finally unmount the drive. Without error checking lines, it about 6 lines of code.

I’m writing a tutorial on fog post install scripts.

With Fog Trunk doing this to to config file no longer solves the issue. We used to (on 1.2.0 on our new server) be able to just change the IP and there would be no issues.

Now if we change the IP and restart the service it does continue the service (the machine restarts) but it doesn’t connect to the domain.

We have a couple of images that where made after the new server and even these with the correct IP in the config file do not connect properly to the domain.

@Zirushton give us the log file from one of the problem hosts. It’s here: c:\fog.log

Hi Wayne.

Here is a log from one of the machines. This Machine is using an image that was made on the new sever and already has a client that directs it to the correct IP. So before our upgrade to Fog Trunk this worked fine with no issues, start the image running and when we came back it would be connected to the network with everything set up. Now, not so much.

@Zirushton on my phone right now but, spotted a clue in the log.

Unknown Error’ Code: 2692

Google search:

Domain join Unknown Error’ Code: 2692

And you’ll probably find out the issue pretty fast.

[Zirushton]

We’ve managed to get this sorted.

We needed to tick a few boxes and install the new client on any machines that we image. Everything working as intended now.

[dolf]

@Zirushton I’m having the same problem. Which boxes did you tick?

[Wayne Workman]

@dolf Perhaps this deserves a video.
