Fog Configuration --> FOG PXE Boot Menu Configuration --> Exit to Hard Drive Type

Exit to Hard Drive Type was set to SANBOOT. I did change it to EXIT and that seems to fix the issue.

@sebastian-roth I too am seeing the exact thing with Window 10 1703 with after fog boot menu all I get is a blinking cursor. My environment is Windows 10 1703 in legacy mode running Fog 1.5.0 RC-8. What information would you like to see? Would it help if I take a video of the boot process so you can see what we are seeing?

@george1421 I have not yet created an image for this version yet. 1703 is a clean install and not an upgrade from 1607.

@Sebastian-Roth I will test with the different exit styles and get back with you soon.

@Sebastian-Roth : I fixed it. I needed to do run su - and that fixed the Path variable that is not set properly. Fog is now installed correctly and the useradd worked great. This is the page that I found that lead me to the fix.

Thanks again for your help.

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks again. I created an new image without that VPN software installed and everything is working as it should. Sorry about this and thanks again for all your help and time.

@Sebastian-Roth said in Fog Client Authentication Issue:

SELECT * FROM hosts WHERE hostID=640;

After running that command, It did show a host, the host that I created the image from. I clicked on that host, and it was showing two MAC addresses (Its own MAC and the MAC of the PC that I deployed the image to). I went in and deleted that HOST and the correct PC showed up in the “Pending Host”. Really weird.

Update: The second MAC is the MAC from a VPN software that I installed. I think that is causing issues. I’ll continue to troubleshoot.

@Daniel-Miller Thank you!

@Sebastian-Roth Sure looks empty to me.

    ->

@Sebastian-Roth I looked over the forums that you linked and cleaned up the database and verified on the Fog server that I am not filtering anything when it comes to the hosts. I deleted the host that was having issues on the Fog server and hoping that it will show up under “Pending Hosts” and it never did. The fog log on the PC did change. Any ideas?

@Sebastian-Roth Thank you for the information! I’ll look into the database issue and report back what I find.

Hello,
Running 1.5.7 on Debian 10. This is a new server and I had to follow the instructions here (https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Migrate_FOG#If_old_server_was_FOG_1.3.0.2B) since I wanted to keep my current Fog client hosts to still communicate after the new server was up. Those clients (around 200) are communicating great after following those instructions.

But, when I download the Fog client from the new server to be used on a new image and when that image is deployed, the authentication is broken. Looking at the fog log on the PC it looks like it wants to download a security token but can’t find where that is at. Any help would be great. Thanks again

Hello,
I have done a clean install of Fog 1.5.7 on Debian 10 and under “Active Directory Defaults”. When I put in the password for “AD Default Password” and hit update. The password in not encrypted. On the Host side, under “Domain Password” when I selected to view the password, it too is not encrypted.

@Sebastian-Roth : I fixed it. I needed to do run su - and that fixed the Path variable that is not set properly. Fog is now installed correctly and the useradd worked great. This is the page that I found that lead me to the fix.
https://linuxconfig.org/command-not-found-missing-path-to-sbin-on-debian-gnu-linux

Thanks again for your help.

@Sebastian-Roth : I log in as my normal user then use the su to switch over to the root user.

Here is the results:

echo $PATH /sbin/useradd
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games /sbin/useradd

echo $PATH /usr/sbin/useradd
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games /usr/sbin/useradd
