@daniel-dillard said in Group membership when adding hosts via CSV:

I just want to know if there is a way to do it by adding a column to the CSV for host import.

Yes, you can. For an example CSV, do: Web GUI -> Host Management -> Export Hosts. This will give you the format. In the same area, there is an Import Hosts link that will allow you to upload a CSV.

@szeraax That is a very good idea, but we have a five digit asset tag number that needs to be part of the name.

@george1421 I’m not sure I understand about deleting the hosts, so I would delete them sometime before imaging was completed?

These systems have a feature called Host Based Mac Address so that they can have a unique address, however it requires OS support. So in FOG that would mean Kernel support I believe. I can turn on Host Based Mac Address and get a unique MAC when booted into Windows. Of course since I don’t have support in FOG it registers the dongle address, then during first boot and before rename and domain join it now has a different MAC address. This is causing the computer to (re)register itself with a generic name.

Anyway. Anybody know if Host Based Mac Address support is planned?

I also read something about imaging via System UUID, this might be promising, anyone know how that might work?
