I am able to set up printers in Fog and, for the most part have it work. However, a couple printers we have, an older HP LaserJet 8000, as well as a newer HP P3015 will not add to hosts. I have them setup pretty much the way all the others are. I downloaded the driver packs and unzipped them to a subfolder in a network share and then point Fog to the .inf file. The fog log on the hosts says the printer installed OK but then when it tries to make it default the log will report “printer does not seem to be installed”. Host environment is mixed XP/7. I have tried HP Universal as well as the native driver for the printer model on each of these. Any ideas?

Hey Chad, any word on .31 working with Win8? I have not upgraded to .32 because most of the time I follow the if it ain’t broke don’t fix it motto. I just haven’t had time to test it with 8.

When trying to register from a PXE boot I am now getting the following:

Unable to register host for the following reasons:
You have an error in your SQL syntax;…(see attached photo for actual error)

This has been working with no problems for a long time Ubuntu 10.04 and Fog .31

Any ideas?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Chad. I changed the session.gc_maxlifetime setting in php.ini and I will see what happens. The thing that throws me on this is the difference between the 2 servers.

Hi all,

I have 1 FOG server on each of my subnets, both are fog .31 running on Ubuntu 10.04. One of them keeps me logged in to the WebUI as long as I want until I log out. The other logs me off after a random period time. I have looked and looked trying to find some different setting between the 2 servers that would cause this but I can not find a setting in Fog. Can anyone shed any light on this, I am tired of having to log back in 10-20 times a day.

I would like to use this, but I am not clear on which file(s) I need to edit.

[quote=“Cyril Fleury, post: 8911, member: 2592”]hello,

I use fog 0.32, and I added a page to see the date of the backup and which hosts use this backup. I saw that there are many changes in version 0.33, my modification will it still possible?

below the changes

I am not sure why it was discontinued but the developers are shooting to bring it back in the next release. You can run a report in SCCM to get hostnames and MACS or the free SoftPerfect Network Scanner can also generate .csv’s for you if your shop does not use SCCM.

Hi Fred, the host auto-register feature was discontinued in version .29(I think) You will want to manually register them or import the hostnames/MAC addresses from a file.

My experience is 10.04 is the best version of Ubuntu to run Fog.

I would really like a definitive answer to this. I have never been able to get a single partition to work with Win7. I can create and upload an image fine, but when I deploy I always end up with an unbootable machine. I have tried everything ever suggested in this forum or the old one and everything I could find by google with no luck.

Yep, love it. Shared with the rest of the FOG evangelists I know.

I like this very much. Especially requiring credentials to image during registration and the “machine already registered as: hostname”

OK I think I have this solved. I found an item in the system event viewer where the AutoDesk Content Service was hanging on startup so I thought that could be interfering with the Fog Service (although Fog was shown starting as normal) I changed the AutoDesk service to manual startup and it seems to have solved the problem. I will know for sure after I multicast the whole lab.

These are wired HP dc5850 desktops. Hostname and AD are enabled. I tried uninstall/reinstall FOG client. Firewall is off. Only clue is the intermittent fog log error saying 0 Mac addresses found. The only thing different on this image from my other 5850 image is it has AutoCAD 2012 on it. I searched online and found a few other people that ran across this(although no mention of AutoCAD being involved). The only solution I found was to delay the fog service startup. That is how I got the idea to create a dependency to delay the fog service start. I am starting to think it may have something to do with the AutoCAD network license manager, but there is no service for that. Once I log on and stop/start fog service manually the 2 reboots that change the hostname and join domain processes complete without a glitch.

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 5372, member: 18”]Are these desktops or laptops?
Are they wired or wireless?
Did you heck the FOG client settings to make sure you have enabled the hostnamechanger module?
Have you tried reinstalling the FOG client and setting it up again?
Is the Windows XP Firewall enabled on this image?
Do the windows event logs show any clues?[/quote]

Why do you have to be so harsh? What is so hard to understand about the problem I presented? I tried to get the problem I am having across, and what I had already tried to solve it, as briefly as possible without writing some APA compliant master’s thesis. I read it again, yeah its semi-choppy but understandable. I have been staring at a computer monitor since 7 a.m. Give a brutha a break!

Please get single partition re-sizable option to work for Win 7 images

Been using fog for 3 years now to manage 1,500 PC at a large high school. My server is on .31. All of my images work just fine except one. For some reason this group will not change hostname or join domain unless I log on as local admin and restart the fog service . All of my other XP and Win7 images work to complete these tasks flawlessly. I tried editing the registry to create a dependency for TCP/IP and DHCP service to start before the fog service starts but that did not help. This is an XP image. Any other ideas on what might be causing this and a possible solution? Sometimes the fog log will say something to the effect of no mac address found so that’s how I got the idea to try the dependency delay for fog service start. Maybe I need a different dependency? Any suggestions on that as well based on the mac error?
