I know in Windows 10 the default action is to not allow certain apps to open from the local administrator account. Edge doesn’t open under the local admin, but it brings up a box stating that it won’t open as local admin. Not sure about IE.

@Wayne-Workman said in Microsoft Surface Pro 4:

Also, feel like writing a tutorial?

Maybe after I actually get one of these devices to work with.

@Tom-Elliott I’ve changed the setting from 128 to 192. Reports are still not working.

Do I need to restart the server for this change to apply?

Server

• FOG Version: 1.4.2 Revision 6072
• OS: Ubuntu 14.04.5

Description

Hello,

After upgrading from a FOG Pre-1.30 Trunk build to 1.4.2, I’ve noticed that most of the lists under Report Management no longer work. I click on them and it brings up a white screen instead of the screen where I can export the reports.

The following are not working on our live server. They are working on test server.

• Host List
• Hosts and Users
• Imaging Log
• Inventory Report
• Product Keys
• Snapin Log

There is a link here that says ‘Imaging Log’.

Hello,

I’ll be getting 20+ Microsoft Surface Pro 4’s soon. I’ll likely have one to test with next week. I already know that I’m going to have issues with them, so I’m asking now how to get these to work with FOG?

I’m assuming these are UEFI only… not something I’ve dealt with yet. If UEFI only, I’ll still need to be able to pxe boot non uefi devices.

@Tom-Elliott said in Delete Image - Migrate Hosts:

If you know you’re going to be deleting an image, why would changing the associated host’s image matter? What if you wanted to use different images on different “currently associated” hosts?

This, I would think, should be thought of before removing the image. Just thinking out loud. I’m not saying this isn’t a good feature request, just thinking about the logistics of such a thing.

Fair enough.

Idea. On the ‘Membership’ page for an image. You already have all the associated hosts there, as well as the checkboxes and the option to delete hosts from that image.

How about, under that, add the option to choose a different image? This way a user could quickly select new images for whichever hosts he/she wants.

Thankfully, I can type the image name into the Hosts search box and it lists all the hosts. Then I move them into a ‘TestGroup’, change the image, then delete them from that group. It works, but it’s annoying.

Hello,

I think it would be useful if when I go to delete an image, it gives me the option to select a new image for all the associated hosts.

@Joe-Gill said in Chromebooks Refreshing Protocol:

Yes we do Enterprise enrollment via Google Admin.

Can you “Power Wash” them remotely?

Thanks!

Device management --> Chrome --> Device Settings --> User Data

This pretty much takes everything off of them as soon as the user signs out.

@Joe-Gill Assume you have them enrolled in the Google Admin console already… everything can be done from there. You can turn off the setting to retain user profiles and everything will just go away.

edit: Seriously though, if you have that many Chromebooks you should be doing Enterprise enrollment. Everything is done remotely.

My FOG server is running on Ubuntu with apache2. So if you’re running something else the directions may be different.

At this point I assume you’ve downloaded and installed DaRT and opened the ‘DaRT Recovery Image’ tool and created a custom .iso.

Next you’ll need to either mount, burn, or extract the files inside the .iso. Copy everything to /var/www/html/DaRT7 on your folder.

You’ll also want to download and extract wimboot and place those files inside the DaRT folder. The inside of your folder should look like this:

Link to wimboot.

Next go to the web side of your FOG server.
FOG Configuration --> iPXE Boot Menu

Scroll all the way down and click the ‘Advanced configuration options’ to expand the menu. Copy/paste/save into the box.

:MENU
menu
item --gap -- ---------------- iPXE Advanced Boot Menu ----------------

boot
:return
chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||

goto MENU
autoboot

Go to FOG Configuration --> iPXE Menu Customization
Click on fog.advanced. Change ‘Menu Show with:’ to ‘Advanced Options’. Save changes.
Click on fog.advancedlogin. Change ‘Menu Show with:’ to ‘All Hosts’. Save changes.

Grab and computer. PXE boot to the FOG Menu. You should have an Advanced Menu option towards the bottom. Click on it. It should prompt for your FOG username/password.

That’s it.

@BedCruncher said in Add Microsoft DaRT to FOG Menu:

@Avaryan
I was thinking about adding this to my fog menu as well, can you provide me some links on how you got that built? I’ve got the MDOP downloading now, but help from someone who has conquered that particular beast would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Sure. I did this on Windows 7 and MDOP version for it. Newer OS’s use the newer version. Instructions are probaly the same or similar.

The first step is, obviously, to install the version that corresponds to your OS.
After that is installed hit the Start button. Type in ‘dart’. Click the ‘DaRT Recovery Image’ option. You’ll need a Windows DVD or mounted .iso.

Follow the instructions to customize your build. I just selected everything.

And… I have a meeting in 20 minutes. Will continue this afterwards.

@Sequans said in Wrong current version after upgrade to 1.4.2:

@Tom-Elliott It was a 1.4.1 that I have upgraded to 1.4.2

This is what I found in fog tarball :

root@gonzales2:~/fog_1.4.2# grep -r 454478 *
packages/web/lib/fog/system.class.php: define(‘FOG_VERSION’, ‘454478’);

So there is surely a mistake in tarball

I modified the php file for my instance so for me, it is solved

I just upgraded to 1.4.2 a couple hours ago. It’s showing correctly for me. My SVN revision is 6072. Noticed yours is 6073. I’ll pull new version on test server and see.

@george1421 said in Upgrade from Trunk to 1.4.2 Failed:

@Avaryan Now that you know your password attempt to log into your database from the linux command line mysql -u root -p fog then provide your database password.

Our live FOG server is now on 1.4.2, revision 6072. Thanks! Now to figure out how that password got changed…

edit: You can mark this as solved.

@george1421 said in Upgrade from Trunk to 1.4.2 Failed:

@Avaryan Now that you know your password attempt to log into your database from the linux command line mysql -u root -p fog then provide your database password.

This was the output when I tried the password listed in .fogsettings

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

However, I tried another password and got this:

Assuming that is what I should see on a correct login, I at least know what the password is.

@Tom-Elliott said in Upgrade from Trunk to 1.4.2 Failed:

@Avaryan this is where things get tricky I suppose as I have no idea of knowing.

Can you check in /opt/fog/.fogsettings and look for snmysqlpass?

The password should be there, though I suspect that’s where things might be also breaking.

snmysqlpass='XXXXXXXX'

Moderator note: I removed the password to your mysql database. The important part is that YOU know what it is

@Tom-Elliott I don’t see a .fogettings in /opt/fog

Only thing in there is log, service, snapins, utils directories.

Edit: Nevermind. It showed up when I manually typed it in.

@Tom-Elliott Good question. No clue! I didn’t set the server up.

How would I go about checking? And how would I go about changing it and/or removing if that’s what I need to do.
