    • RE: Changing Name works, Joining AD is not but was prior to upgrade

      [quote=“Raff, post: 28080, member: 298”]it’s probably case sensitive, modify the query with the correct case, check an existing host for the case your using[/quote]

      Is there any older config files I can look at that would house this information as I think I have already modified the current configuration so the previous case sensitivity is lost. Im trying to reference what it used to be but cant find the FOG configuration file that had this information from any backup’s

      Ok so I am attempting to do this two ways… Directly from the FOG server Via Command Line and from a windows PC here is the error i see from the Fog Server:
      roxborough@roxmintfog:~$ mysql -u root -p fog
      Enter password:
      Reading table information for completion of table and column names
      You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

      [quote=“Raff, post: 28071, member: 298”]You could do an SQL query to the database directly and change only the ones that have the setting roxborough\Administrator[/quote]

      RAFF,
      Im not that familiar with SQL modification is there a simple way to either use a GUI to search it or a step by step command to edit the SQL database… I have always wanted to reset the numbering as well for images we have deleted and the newest images just keep adding on increasing in number.

      [quote=“Raff, post: 28068, member: 298”]Your welcome Bill, If you have hundreds of hosts in your database with that setting, create a temporary group and mass change the AD setting.[/quote]

      Small issue with that I have over 500 deployed systems. some images are not allowed access to the domain CEO’s, CFO’s and so on. so I must go through all of my hosts and check each one individually… but I have no issue doing this… as long as I know it works.!

    • RE: Changing Name works, Joining AD is not but was prior to upgrade

      Let me Say!!! Thank you to the community! I now have AD joining functional again… the simple aspect of removing the roxborough\ in the host setting was the KEY!!! ty…

      Key Factor:
      “you have not done it for that individual host in Host Management. Its is still probably using Domain\Administrator.”

      Ok so recap- After updating to 1.0.1 from .032
      AD joining may break the fix for me was to verify the following settings :

      FOG_AD_DEFAULT_DOMAINNAME [COLOR=#ff6600]My Domain.com[COLOR=#3366ff] This setting never changes[/COLOR][/COLOR]
      FOG_AD_DEFAULT_OU ([COLOR=#ff6600]Blank[/COLOR]) Using default OU Computers1 [COLOR=#3366ff]This setting never changes[/COLOR]
      FOG_AD_DEFAULT_USER [U][U][COLOR=#ff6600][SIZE=5]Administrator[/SIZE][/COLOR][/U][/U] (as per updated version only User name required) [B][U][U][SIZE=5][COLOR=#999999]REMOVE the DOMAIN\ Just leave the User name ONLY[/COLOR][/SIZE][/U][/U][/B]
      FOG_AD_DEFAULT_PASSWORD ([COLOR=#ff6600]Encrypted with fogcrypt[/COLOR]) [COLOR=#3366ff]This setting never changes[/COLOR]

      [COLOR=#ff6600]Under HOST options check the AD setting and make sure it does not have “[U][B]Domain\USER”[/B][/U] It Must match as above (User Name only)[/COLOR]

      [COLOR=#ff6600]after this I was able to have the PC join the Domain with the Fog service[/COLOR]

      Tom,
      Appreciate all of your hard work in keeping this software going and please pass along my sincerest thanks to the rest of the Dev’s and support staff… Excellent software… I also appreciate you taking the time to assist me with this issue… the low budget facility I work for heavily rely on this software since i introduced it several years ago… we have had our ups and downs trying to get windows deployments 🙂 however I have always been able to research a solution to almost any problems that have come up except for this.

      what ever assistance you can provide Just let me know what exact files you need and Ill get them to you.
      thanks

    • Changing Name works, Joining AD is not but was prior to upgrade

      ok so I have been using Fog since .028 I love it and so glad we now have the newest version.
      Took the leap today with the exception of a very few things the biggest one i have issue with is the AD joining. my key is encrypted and everything appears to be set. little hiccups with the upgrade but all seem resolved for now till I learn how to modify the PXE boot menu’s again lol…

      Again as most have commented on already, the images deploy and (Thanks for making that faster and better) reboot and change name then Nothing.

      never reboots again to change to the domain.

      I have looked everywhere I can think to make sure I have the encrypted key and all credentials correct.

      Somethings I have tried but dont know if its secondary to this or just coincidental.
      I upgraded and had issue with booting so tried to verify mysql… was not able to use the command " mysql -u root -p -hXXX.XXX.XXX.XXX fog

      asks for password there isnt any and I verified this from the config file from version .032- password for SQL was blank. I get "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘172.31.177.201’ (using password: NO)
      "
      Is this a problem with mysql? I tried adding a user name to the login such as fog and still not connecting… could this be the reason.

    • RE: Bugs in FOG 0.33

      As a New Forum Member Im currently downloading this eval addition to see if I can offer any opinions on this new version. I also hope that there is headway made to get this new release finished soon… I know that with previous versions updates were avail. almost like clock work… and being this is a completely new version, i know and expect major delays based on GUI enhancements and Kernel Upgrades… Im very anxious for a more robust and up to date version. We are expected to roll out newer Win7 and now Win8 PC’s where we have had issues with capturing images in the past… we hope the new releases will solve some of our original headaches…

      I must however commend all of the community and the Development team and coders for all the Time and Effort put into coming up with a new (FREE) cloning software solution. Godd Bless the OpenSource file community.

      Thank you Very much

    • Hi... Newbie to Fog (last year anyway)

      Started working with fog back in 2009, and since then the company I work for has found numerous uses for the PXE, we have heavily modified it to work with loading iso images for live enviroments and such other utilities… Hirens being one of our biggest and most heavily used.,
      That being said, we use it for deploying out windows XP systems and backing up “A” team members pc’s from time to time… Now we get into Windows 7! and thats when it all fell apart. we are mandated to use a IBM Lenovo and utilize the base package installed on said lenovo (OEM Image) and deploy the pc’s. I am tasked with deploying this first run of 50, I was able to image a box We will call it (Master Image) to the server and then bring it back. Also adding it with no issue to the domain. made some changes to it and upload a modified image and bring it back down to test, Everything works Exactly as it should…

      Now we get into the tricky part, I uploaded the mac and Names of the remaining 49 PC (which BTW is the first 50 PC batch of atleast 250 or more new pc’s) and that went perfect. so i go to upload an image via multicast to 2 random boxes that were parts of a default group within Fog… then auto booted and loaded the image. at the end of the image process, however is where all the problems started… I get that dam Blinking cursor… thats it…
      I did use fogprep prior to uploading the image also selected the multi partition single disk non resisable image format since every box were getting is 250GIG and all IDENTICAL… both of the new pc’s i imaged got the blinking cursor… the master pc images fine with NO Problems… they have not been joined to the doimain either… I understand SysPrep is NOT required… Also upon further investigation find that there are 3 partitions, and after the image takes place Fog makes Partition 0 the “C” Drive and ACTIVE… this is NOT the OS Partition… I have gone in and changed the active partition to the OS Partition, and used win7 boot cd to repair the Bootsec with the command " bootsect /nt60 😄 (with the /ALL and without the /ALL) " this yeilded no progress… I am even trying to do a DD copy which will take a while im sure… Im at a loss as to what the correct step to image theses win 7 machines would be… Do we need to use Fogprep only, and if not then what ? DO I REALLY HAVE TO USE SYSPREP??? I would prefer not to as i find it complicated and dont want to manually add a Software Key for every workstation… these machines should auto validate based on the Current SLIC key in the bios tables.

      Enough ranting and sorry for the long post… Buy please if anyone has anything to offer please let me know as im terribly lost with this win 7 image process. You all have a great day and Keep up the good work… Hope to see Version .33 Very soon and hope even more that better Win7 Support be incorperated into it…
