I know this is a late reply, but thank you for all your help. I have it working now.

Axel12, thanks for pointing out the obvious to me. I looked through the log and it turns out I had disabled the Auto Log Out module for the client service. (Evidently, that’s important…) I enabled all modules and, voila! Joined the domain. Thanks for the help.

Fresh install of Fog 1.1.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.
I can upload and download images fine. I can run snapins.
However, I cannot join a domain. I can ping the domain from the newly imaged machine, I can do DNS lookups for the domain services, and I can join the domain manually. But joining automatically doesn’t work. I have the “Join domain after image task” box checked. I put credentials in the host configuration, and it won’t join. I put the credentials in the Fog AD Defaults and it won’t join. I put the credentials in both the host config and defaults section and no luck. The domain is correct, the username is “Administrator”, the password is encrypted, and the OU is set to the blank for default. Any thoughts?

No need to apologize. Thanks so much for all of your work.

Anyone?

Fresh install of Fog v 1.1.2. After I create a host, I go into the Active Directory section to define how it should join the domain. “Organizational Unit” now appears to be a drop-down menu instead of an editable text field. Putting in the domain admin credentials doesn’t populate the drop-down, and I can’t enter anything in it. Is there somewhere else I should be entering the OU info?[ATTACH=full]1086[/ATTACH]

That appears to have done it. Thank you!

What does that command do? Is it something I will have to run on future installations?

Also, is there a good documentation page or tutorial on Snapins? I still don’t understand the difference adding a snapin through the host as opposed to through Task Management. Deleting snapins I’ve added doesn’t seem to unschedule them. I can’t choose which snapin to run when I click Single Snapin in Task Scheduler… I’m sure I’m doing this wrong or don’t quite understand it, but I haven’t been able to find a good page that explains the details of how Snapins work. Thanks again, Tom!

I can create and upload snapins with no problem. I can even add them to individual hosts. However, when I try to Task Management to actually run the snapin, I get an error that reads, “Failed to create deploy task. Snapins are already deployed to this host.” (Even though there are no snapins running.) When I go to Active Snapin Tasks, it says “No Results Found.” I am not trying to join a domain. I just can’t run a snapin. I had this problem on 1.0.1, so I deleted the whole Fog installation and database, downloaded and installed 1.1.2, and created new hosts, images, and snapins. Same problem. Any thoughts?

You could always write a script to uninstall the client service once you’re finished with it and push it out via Group Policy.

I second this idea. I would find it very helpful in deploying a large number of new PC’s. Plug them all in, send a wake on LAN command and have them all check in and shut down. Then you don’t have to manually reboot them all when deploying, you can just send another WoL packet.

The original question I asked in this thread has been answered. My question was, “How do I push a reboot?” The answer is to create a batch file that does something trivial, make a snapin from that script, and configure the snapin reboot the client. I am still having snapin problems, but I will open another thread to address that.

Tom & Junkhacker, thank you for your help.

No. “No results found.”

I tried, but it fails. I am going to Task Management > List All Hosts > choose my host > Advanced Deployment (gear icon) > Single Snapin. The only thing that shows up is, “Failed to create deploy task. Snapins Are already deployed to this host.”

I just tried setting up a different snapin. The Fog documentation links to a youtube video for how to use SFX to create an Office installer. I created and tested that and set it up as a snapin. Then I went to Hosts > my hosts > Snapins and added it. Still nothing. Is there a different way I should be pushing snapins to hosts? The fog service is running (installed as administrator) and the fog.log file shows nothing happening but regular checkins with the server.

So it’s not just rebooting after the task I’m having a problem with. The task is not running at all. I created a new batch file and had it create a file after it ran, but that file still does not exist. The recent snapin items in the log file:
[QUOTE]FOG::SnapinClient Attempting to connect to fog server…
FOG:SnapinClient Module is active…[/QUOTE]

I wasn’t sure, so I just uninstalled, reinstalled as admin for all users, and rebooted. While it was rebooting, I went into Host management and removed the snapin and let it check in once. Then I added the snapin to the host again. Same problem.
fog.log shows four lines concerning the reboot task:
[QUOTE]FOG::TaskReboot Attempting to connect to fog server…
FOG::TaskReboot Module is active…
FOG::TaskReboot Attempting to connect to fog server…
FOG::TaskReboot No task found for client.[/QUOTE]
