I was messing with the other model of laptop that was now giving me issues. It was dying at random points of the capture. It was actually overheating. I grabbed a different laptop of the same model and it worked like a charm.
So, all of my capture issues so far have seemed to be hardware related.
Well that was dumb of me. I rebooted the server and everything is working now.
@Quazz I am using the Ubuntu VM as my FOG server. I don’t want to use the whole server with ESXi for storage also, just for the server portion. That is why the old Xserve is getting Ubuntu installed and set up as the NAS. I can then use it as a storage node as well as storage for files for things like computer backup and storage for files from our art department. Since the Xserve is just going to be a NAS the IPXE thing shouldn’t matter.
I think I got it. I needed to follow the instructions on this page and put --silent in the command.
I know this is kind of old, but I had this same issue yesterday. I fixed it by running the installer and upgrading.
I think it would have been fixed by simply re-running the installer if I didn’t have to upgrade. I was only one version behind. I’ve notice most issues with Fog can be fixed this way.
@jflippen Thanks. I will give that a try and let you know. I really appreciate the responses.
These are Windows 7 machines. Is there a command I can push out that would turn off the required password changes?
They aren’t in a domain. I just installed windows, ran updates, and created an image. I imaged these machines and installed programs. They end up saying that the passwords have expired and need changed.
I am having issues with my Windows machines giving a warning that the user passwords need changed because they have expired. I never set this up on the machine before imaging so I think it has to be a setting in FOG. Is there a way to change this so that the user passwords never expire?
I was just looking and that shared drive unmounted and is now failing to mount. I am going to figure that piece out. I also have the IP address of the NAS in the configuration. Since it is going to be mounted on my FOG server I am going to change the IP to the FOG IP and see what happens. I also turned tftp and ftp on on the NAS. NFS was already on.
I am using FreeNAS. I had used this to set it up.

I am trying to save an image onto a separate storage node I have added. I have set up a NAS. It is mounting on my original FOG server. I get the same permission issue as in this thread:
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9823/mounting-images-dev-on-images-failed-permissions-denied
I looked at the .fogsettings file and the NAS location is not listed. Is there a way to add this into the file? I want this storage to be in there with the original that is in there because I have images on it and want to use it still.
@sebastian-roth I am saying this is a network card driver issue. That model of laptop wasn’t meant to have Windows 7 on it and that is what the company who refurbed them put on them. So, I can’t get any updated drivers. The network drop also happens at random times on the ethernet. Wireless seems to work fine. I have no issues with the same snapins installing on other models of machines.
I’m going to test it a little more. It seems to be doing it with all snapins and just to a specific laptop. I am beginning to wonder if it is a driver issue.
