Hi, I am interested to know if the Fog server is capable of running a scheduled task every week for Monday, without me entering the task manually myself. I want to run deploy task every Monday on all computers in class. I made a group and looked at schedule features in the deployment, but it looks as I need to enter it every time it ran. Has anyone done this or know a different solution.

I am running a Linux and Windows Images at same time. And some machines even have Dual boot image operating. I can setup the Windows machines to Lock the computers it self on a timer, but this can be removed by students. I wanted this option on the server that I could have a control over this setting, and that if they do close it, I will have a server do it any way and keep their computers safe. Students usually just forget to Lock their computers and walk away and some of them have this setting off.

Hi, I have a quick and simple question that I wanted to ask.

I looked over the FOG settings, I noticed presents of Log Out setting, but I never found Lock Out setting. Students in my class keep wondering why their computers just Log them out. I do understand that this setting Logs them out and not Locks their computer.

I just wonder if there are plans for a future updates, where this option will be possible, or if this option already available then where can I find it, so that I could included in my classroom setting, and keep all students computers safe and secure. Instead of login them out their machine. If this setting isn’t available right now, I just interested to know if this option possible in future updates of FOG machine.

@fry_p I do understand and just wanted to see if i can fix it, but currently its same as it is but I will just go with it and continue to use the system because the system works, i get images and i see no problems and I really look forward to 1.6.0 version of fog, I am really waiting for it be published.

@fry_p You do have a point there, but that’s usually how I do it and that’s one of the ways I was able to go around the error. It spits an error because there is existing user in a system. And i have upgraded my systems already but i didn’t need to face this kind of error in process but the way i know that deleting fogproject user will fix it, was from where i was trying to fix none running server, i had to reinstall the server and when i tried i was getting same error and all i did was go and delete fogproject and run install again and it would work.

@Tom-Elliott I am aware of that, but it something just annoyed and drilled my eyes every time i looked at host list, so i just wanted that to be fixed. And i just made some holes in firewall so just waiting for some results to pop on screen.

@Sebastian-Roth What if i make a rule for TCP port 445 that will allow connection, should it work after that or it still will have problem

Okay I looked up on my server and I believe its fogproject user that needs to be deleted, if your installing it i think there will be no problem if you delete this user because the fog install will create him anyway.

Hi, i had this problem, can you send a screenshot of all users on machine, you have to delete a certain user that fog server creates on the go but if that user is already created it will through an error.

Hi, I am having trouble fixing my host status, I am not sure how to fix it without braking the system because it currently needed to be running, but same time i want to get that fixed so i know what machines are up and running. I got unknown status across all machines on 3 servers. And I have read one forum and I tried but it didn’t work and I wasn’t sure what they meant to replace heading file but I tried to edit the file named resolve.conf , I replace nameserver with server ip address it didn’t work, we are hosting a server under a name fog118, fog119 and fog109. And I am not sure if I have to type in this names for it to work.
