[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 27735, member: 21583”]oh, sorry, i forgot that hooks were broken in 1.0.1
i am running svn release 1710. hooks are fixed in 1702 and what i described will work in the next official 1.x.x release of fog along with a few other bug fixes[/quote]

Oh, lol no problem. Can’t wait 😄

Have now connected everything to the school VLAN again.

Rebooted after fixing sleep 30.
Checked multicast log - no log for the last 3 hours
Multicast to 2 HP
TFTP is now running after reboot (problem fixed)
Multicast failed as expected
Stop and start multicast
Multicast to 2 HP
Multicast worked as expected
Checked multicast log - it is running now, BUT, the log shows 7:30 PM when it is actually 9:30 PM on the Ubuntu clock as it is in reality here in Norway. I just mention it in case it has significance.

This multicast problem is now predictable and fixable for me. I’m heading home.

I can attest to that, I have two UPS’s at home running my machines/network and my power bill has not increased since putting them in.

Basically the software is stored on the storage node and gets copied down to the pc after image, also setup samba to the folder so its available as a software rep/share, we have a node on each site (any site that has more than 10 machines on site) so everything is “available” on the local network so no need to go down slow links etc… then the snapin is just a script n it determines what software is needed by hostname, model and location so once it determines what is needed jst installs them in order, i’ve used powershell in the past bt using autoit atm because its easier to be creative with GUI’s. Also got multiple tftps so the only “data” that is coming from “off” site is the snapin which is tiny 1.5MB n jst task n progress sent bk to server, so tiny tiny amounts 😄 so its jst as quick regardless of the remote site.

14.04 still has issues and 13.10 will work about half the time after reboot
