Wow this thread has a bunch of activity! Thanks for everyones help.
I captured an image late last night and checked /images for the d1.mbr file and it was present. I was able to deploy this image to another Lenovo E431 (this is windows 7 pro btw), however it did not join to AD, and interestingly enough it did not change the hostname either.
This is odd since yesterday Fog was actually successful in changing a hostname and adding one of our laptops to AD. Granted this was a PC we had taken off the domain in order to capture the image. We gave it a generic name LENOVO-E431-I3 and after capturing the image it would not let us change the name of the PC and kept rebooting. This of course was the client service doing it’s job. So in the Fog server we changed the hostname to what we wanted and boom after a reboot the hostname changer did it’s job and also added the laptop to AD.
I am looking at the fog .log and there is an authentication error more specifically this is from a deployed Win 7 image

@Arrowhead-IT Thanks for the input. That does make sense. Hopefully I can get those back. It will save me some time.

@Tom-Elliott I am attempting to capture another image. Same model LenovoE431. I will post the output.

@Tom-Elliott Any idea why the d1.mbr file is not being captured in the process?

@Arrowhead-IT @Tom-Elliott

OK image upload completed, I attempted to deploy to another Lenovo E431 and same error. I looked in the /images directory and sure enough there is no d1.mbr in my Lenovo E431 directory. I am showing the other 2 images I captured which are a Dell 3450, and a Lenovo E430 and they both have the d1.mbr file.

Not sure if this helps but when creating the image in Image Management I selected Multiple Image Partition #2 and in Partition I selected #1

I created those images in the previous fog version so is this a bug or am I not capturing the image correctly?
Also I deleted those images (Dell3450, LenovoE430) however they are still on my linux box, can I get those back into the fog server?

@Tom-Elliott
AHHHHHHHH!!! You are so right, what was I thinking, I apologize. I will update the status after this image is complete. Maybe I can replicate the error? LOL hopefully not in my case. And yes I have been reading these forums for weeks now and you are basically on almost every Fog post Thanks for chiming in.

With Fog 6038 in the management console, Fog Configuration>Fog Settings> Active Directory I see that the plain text password gets automatically encrypted. Is Fogcrypt obsolete? It is still available via download @x.x.x.x/fog/client
Also I noticed in Group Management>Active Directory, as well as Host Management>Active Directory the auto generated encryption hashes are different. Will that be an issue when it comes time to attempt to auto join to AD?

The error did not go away, and my laptops will not boot via the HDD any longer. I deleted the image I had on the fog server and am uploading another image. I will reply with the results.

@Arrowhead I have since attempted to migrate to the latest version of fog however I seem to be having issues. I am looking for the latest version now.

Upgrade was a success, version is 6038

Well one step forward and two steps back. I used the Git option to update to Trunk via this website
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk#wget

I do not know if has not been updated but I am not on version 1.3.0 for starters. The version is 6032. Everything seamlessly migrated over, however after trying 2 image deployments on Lenovo E431 models Fog loads but errors with “Image Store Corrupt” Unable to locate MBR (restore partition table and bootloaders)

Ha and now both will not boot via the HDD

I downloaded 1.3.0 and it goes through the motions of installing but I am on 6032 still after several restarts. Thoughts?

Thanks @ Wayne Workman for your help as well. I am installing via the instructions.

I understand. I’m looking for a stable option to image devices for my company. We were using clonezilla, but are looking for a solution to be placed at each of our sites so we can have a person local that can image a device via PXE boot and that’s it. I need a tool that will image and add to the domain because I can’t physically be there.
Upon investigating fog, I assumed this was the right tool for me so I’m hoping to educate myself further and get this rolling. I’ll update tomorrow with my progress. Thanks again for the help

While attempting to create a delayed task I have to go forward 5 hours, so essentially the delayed task thinks it is tomorrow. This is weird. I’m upgrading to Trunk now.

George,
No it did not fix the timing issue. I did figure out even though the fog server and my Ubunutu box have the same time displayed, they are off by about roughly 5 hours. I am open to updating fog, I am not sure what version of Trunk to run. Would I just download that from Sourceforge and install it on top of fog 1.2.0? Thanks again for all your help.

George,
I apologize for not being more descriptive. The output of the cat command was America/Chicago
I am changing the files now to reflect “America/Chicago”

George,
The syntax is America/Chicago should I have entered with quotation marks “America/Chicago” in the following files?
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini

George,
Interesting, but I do not have FOG_TZ_INFO under “general settings” I was reading that was a new option in fog 1.3.0. Is that correct?
Yes I can confirm that 57-4A is my ethernet and 41-86 is wireless.

I also did not mention, that I do not have the product key field filled out in the host section. Would this cause the domain joining issue?

Arrowhead,

I am wondering if this is a DNS issue? My host are all “unable to resolve”.

George, on the date question yes The time is coming back correct, CST. On the NIC question the first is the ethernet NIC. I assumed the second was the wireless that fog was detecting. How can I tell which is my PXE boot adapter? I assumed all was well with that as I can contact the fogserver to both upload and download images. I just can’t get them to join to the domain.

Wayne, thanks for the reply. We are setting up the client service with the IP address of the fogserver. We named the fogserver “fogserver”.
