Soo … something like this ? (attached)

I noticed on the developer OpenProject there is a sub-project for node-service … I like writing javascript and somewhat familiar with node … so I was wondering what exactly is the grand plan for node-service?

Is it something that runs together with node client and queries the FOG server via GET ? Or schedules its own snapins? or the FOG server calls on the client API to have the client execute snapins? I’m not quite sure how snapins fit into this.

Here is a working example (Windows only, boys) … to install a standalone node and npm … .and to start its own node client. Once the app is loaded - its really up to your imagination what you would like it to do. I suppose together with powershell it can provide a whole heap of statistics - [url]http://nodejs.org/api/os.html[/url]

Here is what I have:

Volume Licensing???

I have been using this one for a long while now - it will activate MAK Office and Windows with ZERO hassle !!! (we dont have KMS)

(Just rename the file to .ps1 instead of .zip … apparently the forms don’t allow .ps1 files to be uploaded)

Edit the script where you see EDIT ME HERE to input your corporate MAK keys … make sure to match them to the right product … you can also designate the proxy (although i never been able to do that … so I whitelist microsoft instead)

Thank you Tom for All of your hard work

Can you send a screen of your /images (ls -lah /images)
and also, how many storage groups do you have …

For the second problem - I know there are times when fog does not really clean up the tasks in the actual database. For that, I used phpmyadmin to go into the actual database structure of fog - and clear (literally delete entries) in the “multicastSessions” and “multicastSessionsAssoc” tables … sometimes a session gets stuck in there if (for example) you had a group of 30 computers queued up, but only 29 actually came online, and it is still waiting for that last one - but you delete the task … so its left ‘unfinished’ in the database … it causes some confusion with future tasks … so i just clear that manually from time to time.

The first problem you notice with “er! host not found” can be caused by:

1. Your mac address not associated with the host - sometimes it happens when a computer has a wifi mac you do not know about, is using a VPN / masking for some stupid reason, or has had its wifi card replaced. I’m sure that is not your problem though - you seem like you’ve taken care of it and registered ALL possible MAC addresses for your hosts (all laptops have 2 MACs at least, one for WIFI card, one for physical LAN port).
2. A more interesting problem I ran into is multiple SSIDs -> yes, its weird. So basically, what happens is your laptop boots up (btw, this ONLY affects laptops) and FOG starts up as a service like normal. At my school, we recently switched SSID passwords - so I ended up adding 2 wifi network profiles - one for the old password, one with the new. The idea was “let the laptop connect to whatever wifi accepts the password … so it may connect directly to the new network, or can try to connect to the old network, then error out, then switch to the new network” … assigning multiple profiles to the wifi card works if you are going to switch the wifi password mid-school year. The problem for FOG - is when the client starts up - it looks for an active MAC address to send to the server. If your computer is unlucky - it will try to connect to the old network. It will fail - but during that time - FOG client is unable to find a proper mac address, and errors out - in the sense that it looks for a “null” mac address on the fog server. The solution I found is to put FOG service to start “Delayed Start” … to give the laptop plenty of time to figure out which fuckin’ wifi network works and connect to it properly before looking for a mac address.
   TL;DR: FOG needs a ‘proper’ mac address from windows - if you wifi card is too slow to connect to wifi, FOG client will not have a mac address to look for on the FOG server

… then at which point does /images/dev/<mac> go away and move into /images? should be after the upload is finished … ?

Permissions bro !!! The folders you have there “0023…” and “0026…” are in fact your images … the problem is that the system uploaded the images BUT did not rename the folder. Those two numbers are in fact the mac addresses of your two computers that you grabbed the images from. Can you make sure that your /images directory itself has the correct permissions ?

Now a question for the fog developers: those two folders have +777 permissions … which means world readable/writable - why is that fog is unable to rename those folders? My folders on my fog server are also +777 permissions.

Speaking of switches - I’ve noticed that the delay will also lengthen due to managed switches. We have Dell Powerconnect switches at my school … the floor switches are unamanged - (i.e. plug and go variety), some of the bigger switches are managed - which means they have a static IP address that you can change, as well as configure any sort of LAGs or VLANS. I’ve noticed that the more managed switches between the fog client and dhcp server - will dramatically increase the waiting time.

Sorry to reply so late now … the problem with the later version of FOG - as I painfully discovered - is that they have difficult time to migrate the schema. The schema said it “migrated successfully” but not in actuality.

I ended up using PHPmyadmin to manually export the hosts, change a few table names, export the mac addresses, match them up with host IDs, etc. etc. etc. … painful process, but once the correct fields were entered, the whole thing was smooth !
