@Omar.rodriguez You might also work on getting MS Office to install silently using nothing but a batch script… Briefly looking through the available options, I think it can be done.

Seems you would probably decide to run the installer over the network (don’t recommend that) or to copy all install files to the local machine via batch script and then run the installer locally (and deleting when done).

Either way you go, I believe you need to create your very own config.xml file to specify all the options you want the installer to use. If there’s a silent option, use it. Then, just run the executable with the config.xml argument and then there you go.

After doing some research this isn’t a bad idea, by simply doing a silent install using a batch script.

I found a script that’s premade only has to be slightly modified which can be found here . I’ll update the thread with my results

Hey Joe just want to give a huge thank you for helping me out. This solved the issue!

For future reference if anyone has the same issue. This is what we were doing on our end. We are running Ubuntu 16.04 server with KVM. We have multiple virtual network devices which created multiple mac addresses. In return trying to deploy the same image from one machine to others caused a conflict with FOG which made the client not work on the machines. Following what Joe quoted tom on fixed our issue. In my instance using the first 3 hex pairs in FOG_QUICKREG_PENDING_MAC_FILTER solved the issue and the client is working as it was intended to

That solved it @Tom-Elliott thank you very much. Life saver!

DESCRIPTION

So I recently made the huge mistake of deleting the dev directory in the /images directory. Which means i’m unable to upload images. What can I do to get this fixed? Will all my current images be lost? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

@Joe-Schmitt Tried that and nothing happened

We also tried more troubleshooting. This is what we were seeing

Are the mac addresses the problem? is there a place we can change the mac address in a config?

@Joe-Schmitt Where can i find this in the fog web portal ? BTW the machines are all CLI non have the ubuntu GUI.

Also the reason why they have so many network adapters is because we have various Juniper virtual devices running with the machine.

@Joe-Schmitt @Raymond-Bell just want to clarify my concerns:

1. The hostnames aren’t changing on Ubuntu 16.04 with the client installed on the image.

2. When a new imaging task is created for one of the Ubuntu 16.04 machines it doesn’t auto reboot (yes the setting in fog settings is checked), which means I can’t remotely image machines as I could have to physically be there to reboot the machines.

Sorry if I wasn’t too specific in my OP

@Joe-Schmitt @Raymond-Bell

here is the log file 0_1486064852118_fog.log

@Raymond-Bell said in Fog client not renaming computers:

@Omar.rodriguez Also make sure that in Fog Settings that ( FOG Client - Hostname Changer ) is checked.
And let us know if it is.

It’s not this. Works on any other image just not the Ubuntu one. The settings are checked as they should be.

I will be post the fog.log in a bit

Server

• FOG Version: 1.3.2
• OS: Ubuntu 16.04

Client

• Service Version: 0.11.8
• OS: Ubuntu server 16.04

Description

Deploying a ubuntu server 16.04 image to machines does not rename the host. For example if I named the first computer PC1 where the ubuntu image was captured from any machines i image with that ubuntu image will also be named PC1. The client will then not recognize the other PC’s when it’s time to auto-reboot when a imaging task is created.

Wow! You guys are releasing these fast!

Thank you so much
