I can understand the decision not to spend valuable developer time on something that the developers deem unnecessary. It doesn’t solve my problem but has helped me make a decision that I’ve been thinking about a long time.

The teachers love their MacBook Airs and we’re going to migrate all the students to ChromeBooks. The rest of the school board agreed with me this morning and allocated extra budget resources for next year.

After this there will only be a few computers in the accounts dept that require Windows and we can do their printer installations manually.

This is the SQL from FOG 0.32

Here’s some USB printers that used to work in FOG 0.32

This was working perfectly so why was it removed? All change is not necessarily for the better.

@Joe-Schmitt

Since I first installed FOG in 2009 the assignment and automatic installation of printers has been of primary importance. Windows does not automatically install the printers.

FOG version 0.32 has worked perfectly for our school in this regard until the actual server hard disk failed last December. I have my old database backups so I’m considering reverting to FOG 0.32 to save our technicians from having to manually install these USB printers.

Before this drastic step I’ll try to deploy the USB printers as snap-ins tomorrow.

@Tom-Elliott

In the FOG management interface it’s possible to create four types of printers:
TCP/IP Port Printer
iPrint Printer
Network Printer
CUPS Printer

None of these options seem to cover the case of a local printer connected to a USB port eg USB001. We have quite a few different makes and models. In FOG 0.32 we used this type of installation to cover many different printers.

How do I add an USB printer?

cajos001

@Tom-Elliott

Yes I that’s what was downloaded. I deleted all my hosts except my master so I can get on the right side of the encryption. I’ve added back six hosts in the library nearest my office to test.

Everything worked! Hostname, domain and installing and removing printers. Now I can go home and have a happy Friday

The coffee hadn’t kicked in yet , I found the instructions here https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installation#Additional_information_on_SVN_and_git_.26_FOG_Trunk

@Tom-Elliott

How do I download the RC 12?

cajos001

@Tom-Elliott

I’ll download the RC 12 and start over with the new client. I’m experimenting with just a few hosts just now instead of 879 hosts until I get it right.

I’m using the legacy client from the FOG server as the new version keeps giving me security errors:

Changing hostname and joining the domain work well but the PrinterManager keeps giving the error as listed in the excerpt from the log file:

Is there a solution?

cajos001

@george1421 It worked!
I clicked on the host name in the list and in that page reset the encryption data. Now that host has joined the domain and got the right printer.

I will now do these steps on our master image.

Thank you for your kind and patient help.

cajos001

@cajos001 I disabled the Windows firewall and can ping the Windows client by IP address from the FOG server.

However the log file now shows “Response Invalid security token”

@george1421 I’ll do that and post the result.

cajos001

@george1421

I’ve changed the network setting to static and restarted the server.

I cannot ping the Windows clients by name or IP address from the FOG server.

cajos001

@george1421 Sorry for the late reply.

Yes our FOG servers IP is assigned by DHCP.

The Windows client can ping the FOG server but does not respond to ping from the FOG server.

Here’s a partial fog.log from the Windows client.

I reinstalled FOG from SVN, erased all the hosts and recreated a few but the red dot and the error message “no such device or address” persists.

Help me please.

This is the version information:
Tue Feb 28, 2017 17:56 pm
Running Version 1.3.4
SVN Revision: 6066
The FOG server is running CentOS Linux 6.8

I get “no such device or address” in a red dot to the left of the host name when listing hosts in the GUI. This was not the case yesterday. I have followed some of the suggestions from other threads.

This is the contents of /etc/resolv.conf on the FOG server

; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search localdomain
nameserver 192.168.0.1

This is the result of nslookup 192.168.0.1 from the FOG server

Server:		192.168.0.1
Address:	192.168.0.1#53

1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa	name = ipcop2.localdomain.

This the result of pinging the router by name from the FOG server

PING ipcop2.localdomain (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from ipcop2.localdomain (192.168.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.193 ms

64 bytes from ipcop2.localdomain (192.168.0.1): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.110 ms

and by ip-address

PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.134 ms

I can ping both the router (192.168.0.1) and the fog server (192.168.0.3) from the Windows client. On the Windows client nslookup shows

Standard server  ipcop2.localdomain
Address 192.168.0.1

Like I said, this was working before I rebooted the FOG server.

@Wayne-Workman It worked perfectly, Thanks.
