it was the hostinfo.php file. I copy and pasted from the link you provided into a new file after renaming the old one. Rebooted the fog server while nudging the edge of the case with a baseball bat, and it certainly wasn’t the bat. great solution. thank you!

Scenario is Ubuntu 1804 FOG 1.5.9
Updating to FOG 1.5.10

Install/update done according to wiki.
Install fails with user account “fogproject” password containing unusable characters.

This would be the random generated password created when i first setup 1.5.9
Checked the password and there are slashes and normal characters you’d expect in a complex password.

How can i get around this to get to 1.5.10?

If you could somehow post your findings in more detail, that would be beneficial. I have followed the steps in this thread and i’m finding i am getting an OSID error. I did start a new thread/post

@Tom-Elliott thank you for your response. Oddly enough, if I remove the lines listed below, it does the inventory task and then reboots as an out-of-the-box FOG install is expected:

sysuuid=$(dmidecode -s system-uuid)
sysuuid=${sysuuid,,}
mac=$(getMACAddresses)
curl -Lks -o /tmp/hinfo.txt --data "sysuuid=${sysuuid}&mac=$mac""${web}service/hostinfo.php" -A ''
[[ -f /tmp/hinfo.txt ]] && . /tmp/hinfo.txt

. /bin/fog.download
usleep 2000000

@anwoke8204 In the system BIOS, look for a setting called “Enable UEFI network stack.” That’s the setting name on most Dells.

@anwoke8204
Recommend your trying option 67 with ipxe.efi

That’s my setup.

Greetings!
I am attempting to have a Manual Registration into FOG and then, without rebooting, go straight into the imaging process. Or as close to that as mechanically possible.

I have found the awesome thread located here: Forum Post

From that link I was given hope. However, after rereading the article a dozen times, i’m obviously just not picking up on something. And so, I am asking for another pair of eyes in my FOG.MAN.REG to see what i am doing wrong. Please , and thank you.

FOG.MAN.REG last few lines below.

dots "Attempting to register host"
res=""
while [[ -z $res ]]; do
    res=$(curl -Lks --data "sysuuid=${sysuuid}&mac=$mac&advanced=$(echo -n 1 | base64)&host=$host&imageid=$imageid&primaryuser=$primaryuser&other1=$other1&other2=$other2&doimage=$realdoimage&doad=$blDoAD&location=$location64&username=$user64&groupid=$group64&snapinid=$snapin64&productKey=$productKey" ${web}service/auto.register.php 2>/dev/null)
    echo "$res"
    usleep 2000000
done
. /bin/fog.inventory

sysuuid=$(dmidecode -s system-uuid)
sysuuid=${sysuuid,,}
mac=$(getMACAddresses)
curl -Lks -o /tmp/hinfo.txt --data "sysuuid=${sysuuid}&mac=$mac""${web}service/hostinfo.php" -A ''
[[ -f /tmp/hinfo.txt ]] && . /tmp/hinfo.txt

. /bin/fog.download
usleep 2000000

The error I am getting is below:

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
