@Tom-Elliott I figured it out.
I was getting confused by the similar language between the installation process and storage group setup.
A normal installation is just a fog storage node that has a web server and UI on it. A FOG network requires atleast one to work. However a Storage node can be set as the master of a storage group no matter the installation type.
My problem was that because the storage node in the “Bris” storage group did not have a master node setup, the default group could not replicate any images or snapins over. All storage groups must have a master for it to work effectively.
@Tom-Elliott feel free to clarify any of the above rant.
