I was going to try to do that or better develop the Snapin management.

After reviewing this forum post. I am going to try to download the source tonight and try to develop a feature.

One host would have a Default Group. and Sub Groups.
Currently it appears that snapins are are referred to by a Snapin ID. So it would only pickup one snapin once, and show what groups it inherited from.
Or.
It could even work like the permissions of a Mumble Server(an open source VoIP)
Or.
It could work in a structure like this.
ComputerLab101-ITBuilding Group
[INDENT=1]|_Presentation Computers Sub Group[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]|_Lab Computers[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]|_Hand-accessible Computers[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2] [/INDENT]
machines would inherit [S]upward[/S] downward like so.

I have been enjoying using this software, and was wondering how to become a developer.
I see this as a benefit for me to build up my resume, and gain invaluable experience in my field.

Under Snapin, And Printer management for a Host,

Include inheritance for them such that it would read?

Here is an example with Printers

PRINTERS
Default | Printer Alias | Printer Type | Inherited | Remove
x | Foo Printer | Local | BarGroup | X Delete
_ | Derp Printer | Local | This_host, BarGroup | X Delete

Being able to group snapins as a package, that would allow precedence to occur would be nice.

Install Foo 2010
Install Bar 2010
Install FooBar 2010 sp2

then having the ability to link a package to a Host.

Sometime there are features on a printer you want to turn off, Such as Bidirectional printing.

It would be nice for an Advanced Tab on the Printer Objects that allowed users to write custom batch/cmd files that would run after install.

I know it is difficult to add features for every case that is why having a built in script option that would run after would be nice.

Example, I use HP1022n printers in my environment, and they just do not like Bidirectional printing on. or else it will just print endless copies of the document until that feature is turned off.

(I plan on removing these damn printers as they are nearing the end of their useful life, but still would be a nice feature)

It would also be a cool idea to add Snapins to link to printer installs. Could give the ability to add scanning software to the printers as they are added.

There is custom software developed in house that i need to develop installers for.

It appears to be discontinued… had to find it though a mirror

Back in the day, I used to use a software that would take snapshots for before and after an install had taken place, It would compare the changes, then create an executable that would allow those changes to be made on another machine(s).

Does any one know if a tool that still does this?

When I was setting up my Ubuntu 12.04.5 x86 install for FOG some libraries would not install.
In my case it was a bad repo list.
This is how I fixed it.
Best of luck!

Ok, Will make a Test server and test it before i put it into development.

If it works I will post some instructions on how i got it to work.

I was wondering if there would be any conflict in running
PBIS with FOG server?

Would this cause any issues?

Has anyone else done this before?

PBIS - [url]http://www.beyondtrust.com/Resources/OpenSourceDocumentation/[/url]

Running Ubuntu 12.04.5 Server (No GUI)
Running Fog 1.2.0
Hosting OS on Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V

Hey, it was that i had Active directory settings in there, changed them in the main config for FOG,
But the password located on the host machine pass was not encrypted… once i changed that it worked fine.

Love your software man. Great Work.

yeah I was changing the computer name, i read on a post if the name was shorter than the desired host name it would change it.

[CODE]#!ok=HP6715bOLD #AD=1 #ADDom=XXXXXXXX.Com #ADOU=OU=Win7Computers,DC=XXXXXX,DC=com #ADUser=XXXXXXXX.Com\XXXXXXX #ADPass=XXXXXXXXX[/CODE]

Is there a setting i can change that will call the function again, Registry Edit, File Config?

And no the imaged machine had win-####### as host name.
The host as stored on the server was HP####-OFW

Going to retrieve the log.

What do you mean are the name incorrect?
It worked before in audit mode on the source machine the image was created on,
But it will not work on the machine after the image is downloaded to a new host.

It did other things like package deploy, and it is talking with the server according to the logs,
The log how ever never mentions anything about the host renaming service.
