OK, I’ve recompiled hostnamechanger.dll from the Git repository and everything is now working as expected. Thanks again for the help!

Awesome, I’ll pull it down now and give it a go. I’ll post an update once I’ve completed the testing.

Thanks guys!

Daniel

Hi Bob, I’ve already posted it. It’s in the top of my code block under ‘Web service’.

Also, I did notice in the other post about patching the .dll that Wolf mentioned, it said that there is updated hostnamechanger.dll source in the SVN. I did actually try and get that over the weekend, but the SVN only pulled all of the source except for the Windows code for hostnamechanger.dll. The code I used to patch the .dll with my passkey was from the main distributable for 1.2.0 on SourceForge, fog_1.2.0.tar.gz.

Thanks!

Hi Wolfbane, thanks for the quick reply! As I’d noted, I already found this post and tested accordingly, but it didn’t seem to apply to this situation. With no product key I do get the ‘index was outside the bounds of the array’ message. For the heck of it, I tested with a product key added and it still failed. I got a slightly different error message:

[B]2/9/2015 11:38 AM FOG::HostnameChanger Failed: Incomplete server response; got: 7; wanted: 6.
2/9/2015 11:38 AM FOG::HostnameChanger Host name was not found in the database.[/B]

When i searched for that, the only resolution I could find was to set the FOG service to start as ‘Automatic (Delayed)’. This didn’t resolve that issue. Since I wasn’t trying to use a product key anyway, it felt like I was falling down the wrong rabbit hole and decided to back up and try and resolve the original issue.

Having said that, you guys know much more about what’s under the hood than I do, so if you think patching my hostnamechange.dll with my passkey caused this problem, then please let me know. I did it according to the documentation, so I assumed that it would work OK. I also didn’t see anyone else mention having trouble with hostname changes after patching with a new passkey.

Thanks!
Daniel

Did you ever find a resolution for this issue? I’m having the exact same problem. Running FOG 1.2.0 (although on CentOS 6.6 rather than Ubuntu) and imaging a Windows 7 x64 Pro system. This is a new FOG deployment and I’ve been trying to test AD join on the very first machine, but it doesn’t work. I get exact same error message stating that the Index is outside the bounds of the array. The full log is below. I also pasted the results of the web service query for the MAC address in question. Sensitive info has been changed.

I’ve search for this error, but haven’t found much. The only other post that came up said something about an issue when trying to push a product key without patching hostnamechange.dll, however we aren’t pushing a product key. However, the .dll was patched with our passkey, per the docs.

EDIT: Just an added note, the hostname itself is not being changed as well. Please let me know if you need me to post any additional info.

I just ran into this issue trying to compile with Visual Studio 2013. In 2011 MS announced they would not longer support Visual Studio Installer Projects in future VS versions. However, due to rather loud customer feedback they ended up created an extension that could open those projects.

I’ve installed the extension and tested it out with VS 2013 Pro and it works great. The FOG service installer project loads and compiles successfully. I didn’t test it with the Express version so I can’t confirm if everything is OK in that environment, but at least it is possible.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I also received the build error with blank.jpg. I simply deleted the reference from the solution explorer and then rebuilt the solution. Everything built correctly. The jpg was likely being used as a graphic in the installer, but is not likely to be critical. The newly built service installed with no issues.
