Haven’t really found a great fix here, I’d love to get some logging to work. But this seems to be working better than before. It moves the argument from the calling command and embeds it into the Snapin Arguments:

• Snapin Type: Normal Snapin
• Snapin Run With: powershell.exe
• Snapin File (exists): runCmd.ps1
• Snapin Arguments: "%ProgramFiles%\FusionInventory-Agent\Uninstall.exe /S"

the command in runCmd.ps1 then no longer passes an argument so needs to be changed to:
start-process -filepath "$exe"

That’s awesome! I was hoping there was a simple workaround.
It does look like it completed successfully in seven seconds, but the process didn’t have the expected result. When I run Uninstall.exe /S manually the folder gets emptied. In this case, the files are still present.

Any tips on increasing verbosity or leaving a log of what happened?

Thanks!

I realize this is an oldie but as a feature request it made sense to me to just bump it rather than creating a new one.
I have a program installed that has a built-in uninstaller. I’d like to execute uninstall.exe /S to remove it, however the snapin needs to add a file in order to do so. Guess I could just upload a script with this command in it but it seems much simpler to just allow running a command.
Thanks!

Hi @malansanni70, I could help you figure out how to open ports, but to be clear that’s just one step of many that are necessary to get PXE working. Have you already set DHCP options 66 & 67 and ensured your network is traversable for PXE/TFTP (as in, everything is behind a single router or using iphelper on a larger network)?
Flavor and version of your server’s operating system? What’s your end-goal here?

@george1421 said in User Tracking search not working:

little gear on original post

I see no gear or settings on the original post, leading me to believe this is a moderator-only feature. Thank you for marking the solution!

@george1421 How the heck do I mark the answer as solved on the forum?

I ended up searching for memory_limit in /etc/php*:

grep -r memory_limit /etc/php*

The two active files were /etc/php.ini and /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf:

/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf:php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 1024M
/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf:;php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 256M
/etc/php.ini:memory_limit = 512M
/etc/php.ini:;memory_limit = 128M

I duplicated the lines, commented out the original with ;, then quadrupled the values. Restarted the services with:

systemctl restart httpd
systemctl restart php-fpm.service

User Tracking queries now work as expected.

@george1421
You’re right. Thanks for the tip!

It returns a blank page even when I specify a user and the machine they’re assigned to.

Updated to Version 1.5.9.113 but behavior is still the same. Page never loads, just shows blank.

@sebastian-roth Perfect. The original install was through a Group Policy .msi push, so I added the newer agent to replace the old one. Appreciate the quick info!

I think you nailed it:

Any suggestions on how to address the root cause in case other clients are affected?
Thanks

A user remoting in over the VPN is complaining of slow performance and network drops. Looking at the ssl firewall traffic, I noticed an odd pattern of a periodic data transfer between the laptop and the fog server:

I don’t see any pending tasks for the host, and snapins are all marked as completed. Any idea what would cause a ~10M file to transfer every two minutes?

@tom-elliott hard to say. Most PCs are left running so I wouldn’t know if they were woken up or not. I can try to find a couple more to monitor.

Hi @Tom-Elliott! I’m back again. I haven’t made any changes, but my Group Task doesn’t seem to be running. Logs show it is, but I have a user who’s contacted me a couple times that his PC was not woken up. When I run the wakeup task manually it works. Here’s the scheduler log from around that time:

[07-12-21 6:00:48 am] * 2 tasks found.

Disk usage looks normal.
Updating to the latest version. Will let you know if it recurs.
Thanks!

@tom-elliott said in Daily wake-up routine not working after update:

safe

LOL! Yeah, sure, for now!

@Tom-Elliott
Welp, it worked. I didn’t change anything. Sorry I already ran an update (FOMO is a powerful force!) so don’t have logs from this morning.

Good morning @Tom-Elliott,
It looks like it’s not working for groups. I have a single task to wake my desktop, and that’s working, but the groups target is not receiving wake-up packets.

The scheduled task exists and looks correct:

The database entries are summarized in my last note and I haven’t made any changes.
The schedule logs contain this at the witching hour:

[05-13-21 6:00:44 am] * 2 tasks found.
[05-13-21 6:00:44 am] * 1 scheduled task(s) to run.
[05-13-21 6:00:44 am] * 1 power management task(s) to run.
[05-13-21 6:00:44 am] * Scheduled Task run time: Thu, 13 May 2021 06:00:00 -0500
[05-13-21 6:00:44 am] * This is a cron style task that should run now.
[05-13-21 6:00:44 am] * Found a scheduled task that should run.
[05-13-21 6:00:44 am] 		 - Is a group based task.
[05-13-21 6:00:44 am] 		 - Unicaset task found!
[05-13-21 6:00:44 am] 		 - Group Desktop Computers for Work from Home
[05-13-21 6:00:44 am] 		 - Task started for group Desktop Computers for Work from Home!
[05-13-21 6:00:44 am] * Power Management Task run time: Fri, 14 May 2021 05:00:00 -0500
[05-13-21 6:00:44 am] * This is a cron style task that should not run now..

However computers in the target group are still off after 6am. I can run the group task manually and it does start up. I tested both via the power-management tab and also the Basic Tasks --> Advanced --> Wake-up option and they both work.
I did update in the past couple days so am on dev-branch version: 1.5.9.87
Thanks!

@Tom-Elliott so I truncated the tables and re-created the jobs - one I created via Basic Tasks -> Advanced -> Wake up, and one I created through the Power Management window. Here’s the resulting database entries for Day of Week and Day of Month from both:

MariaDB [fog]> select stDOM,stDOW from scheduledTasks\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
stDOM: *
stDOW: 1-5
1 row in set (0.001 sec)

MariaDB [fog]> select pmDom,pmDow from powerManagement\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
pmDom: *
pmDow: 1-5
1 row in set (0.000 sec)

So it’s looking good now. As you can see in my previous database entry, I had 1-5 entered under pmDom, which was likely the issue. I’m giving this point to user error.
Thanks again for your help!

@tom-elliott Sorry I’ve been quiet, because it had been working

However this morning it looks like it did not fire. It’s after 8am here and there’s no entry for these two at 6am on the morning of 05-06:

I ran your mv commands and re-ran the installer.
Then I get 21 rows of this:
