Ok found the issue grabbed the wrong windows image and the answer key is for the latest windows 7 build which is what caused all the issues its now working.

Update ok one thing I have noticed in task manager when I open the browsers even though it shows only one open in task manager it shows anywhere from 3 to 11 open something makes me think I have seen this before but can’t find a solution anywhere.

Edge, IE11, Firefox and Chrome all have the same issue it’s like a security policy in place blocking internet and only on Windows 10 machines all others are Windows 7 with no issues.

So I imaged multiple computers with no issues Windows 10 is registered as well as office using sysprep FOG server changed the computer name and joined the domain again no issues administrator account can browse internet no problem. Domain users cannot open any websites they can ping them and that is it I am hoping someone has seen this issue before it seems like a permission issue but I cannot find the cause of the issue. Hoping this is an easy fix any help would be appreciated everything else works for the domain users like word, excel, etc. Thanks in advance.

So I fixed my issues with imaging the Lenovo E560 turns out even after imaging the drive has a GPT structure even though one isn’t present here are the steps I went through to fix it.

1. Start Clonezilla
2. Select cmd line
3. Type in sudo gdisk /dev/sda
4. (Press 1 to select MBR)
5. Press ‘x’ and enter to reach the eXpert mode
6. Now press ‘z’ to delete the gpt
7. At this step be careful, you will get an option to blank out your MBR, do NOT do it. If you do you will need to install OS on the drive to rebuild MBR.
8. Press Ctrl + C when ever you need to exit from gdisk.
9. You will now be able to image this computer.
   Some of these steps I found online can’t seem to find where but this fixed my boot problems even after imaging I had both a MBR and GPT partition even though the GPT part didn’t actually exist.

I was wondering if it would be possible to make a group snapin basically I like to keep my image as bare bones as possible so the only thing extra in it are network drivers so I can push the snapin’s I make for Video, chipset, PowerManagement, USB3, etc. Than I would like to group those snapin’s for that specific model of computer so that I just need to pick the group snapin and not all the different snapin’s it’s a minor inconvenience the way it is now but thought other people might find it useful as well.

So updating to the FOG trunk fixed my issue with Lenovo E560 not registering now this next one seems to be a Lenovo issue I can image the computer and after reboot I end up with a black screen with the cursor flashing in the corner. I’ve had this happen before and inserting the windows 7 CD in and selecting repair fixes the issue well turns out even though in the BIOS I had legacy only enable UEFI still took over as the drive is partitioned as GPT with NTFS. I still haven’t found a work around yet. I did make a bootable USB stick which will only work on the laptop if I have Legacy First/UEFI if I have it set for LEGACY only it refuses to boot up. I am hoping someone else out there has had to work with these E560 as I haven’t found a guaranteed way of disabling UEFI in the BIOS yet.

Well tried it with the latest still no luck I think I will make a VM machine to try the latest trunk and see if that works.

Here is the info off of the network card if you need anything else let me know.

Is there instructions on how to do this with a trunk not sure if I know how to do it or not.

Sorry didn’t update my signature its running on Ubuntu 14.04 and FOG 1.2

Is anyone have a problem booting these laptops or should I be using a different kernal. The error message we get is unable to register due to these reasons attempting to send inventory and than it would just keep retrying and never register first time I have seen this all the other computers are no issue just the think pad laptops.

Yeah as I type this I am downloading 14.04 than I can get stuff setup and take to our other location. Can’t wait to see 1.3 you guys are doing some amazing work.

Will FOG 1.2 work with PHP7 I installed Ubuntu 16.04 without realising there were no PHP5 packages. if not its not a big deal I can install an older version of Ubuntu to get it working.

I’m from the old school if it ain’t broke don’t touch it with that being said I cannot believe how long I have been using this close to 8 years now and I love it. Had 1 hard drive fail in that time but otherwise going strong.

OK I have it up and running what are the supported operating systems I thought 10.04.4 was a supported operating system 2 years ago I have 2 of these running one with 1.2 since it came out and just got around to upgrading this one to 1.2 from .32. So I went and checked the one that is running 1.2 since it came out and it’s 10.04.4 just like I thought so I take it that the servers are a little outdated is there a wiki on what you OS’s are supported. Oh and on a side note I have made a portable fog server using a raspberry PI 3 with a 64GB SD Card using Ubuntu 15.10.3 server and FOG 1.2 works like a champ can do my rural locations in a couple of hours saves carrying a big server around basically its a credit card computer.

OK that fixed the apache issue however it didn’t prompt me for the password for MySQL and it looks like the location has moved I looked in the /var/www/fog/commons/config.php but it doesn’t exist where is it now?

So here is what happens after the upgrade and it attemps to start apache:
Syntax error on line 204 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have looked for the libphp5.so file and it doesn’t exist in this directory only one that is close libphp5filter.so

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for the quick reply I found the problem though it was IE 11 used firefox and no issues.

Is there a way to delete active snapins as I cannot push snapins to the one computer as it says there are already active snapins but its not doing anything and I cannot delete them for some reason.
