Once you have that FOS USB boot drive created I want you to do the following things BEFORE you attempt to image.

USB Boot from this FOS boot drive Pick option 6 (Debug) Watch to see if the FOS Linux boots correctly. If everything goes well, after a few enter key presses you should be dropped to a linux command prompt. At the FOS linux command prompt key in lsblk make sure you can see the disks. Please post a picture here in the forum of the disk layout. At the FOS linux command prompt key in ip addr show make sure eth0 has the proper IP address for your subnet.

If 5 and 6 pass then proceed to 7.

Schedule a capture/deployment task in the FOG Web ui. USB boot the target computer, this time pick option 1 in the grub menu.

The target computer should image just fine. Report any error back in this thread.

@Tom-Elliott Store them in the database and have a daily cron job that cleans out logs older than N days (user defined). If FOG were to switch to MariaDB 10.3, the TokuDB engine would be available for use. TokuDB has in-engine compression. The compression savings is pretty staggering compared to InnoDB. TokuDB does not support foreign constraints - and because the FOG db doesn’t use them, we are A-OK there.

Now this is a dirty way to do it as I don’t have the MYSQL skills or database background. What you can do it go to reports and run an inventory report. Export that. Now cant the column that has the hostname and change it to what you want. Find and replace or just trim your hostname down to asset tag them add whatever your naming convention is. So now you have a new column of hostname and the MAC address that was exported from inventory report. Follow the format for CSV upload here https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Managing_FOG#Hosts

Now under the 4th column add “Description” name this something like import and the date. This will be used to group the hosts you just imported. Go into FOG add whatever hosts you want to change to a group. Delete that group and check and delete hosts. NOTE this will remove all history assigned images settings and login history (Hence Dirty Way) Now import the hosts you want back in. After you successfully import your assets back in go to the hosts tab and search the description you added on import. Select all those hosts and add them to a group to apply all the new settings to. Once you add service settings and AD info they will start renaming your computers and depending on your settings may or may not reboot the computer.

Just returning here to let everyone know that, I don’t fail due to it, but the messages will report as Fail/Done depending on the status for the removal bits and pieces.

Seems to have resolved my issues

@Joe-Schmitt said in Fog Upgraded to 1.3.0 RC 11 - Snapins not deploying - 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject'.:

@Duncan could you please perform the following steps:

Stop the fog service on this machine (net stop fogservice) Download https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/download/0.11.5/Debugger.exe to this machine Go to your FOG Server’s web portal, pull up this host and hit Reset Encryption Data Run Debugger.exe Type middleware configuration server http://FOG-SERVER/fog (replace FOG-SERVER with your server’s IP) Type middleware authentication handshake Type dump cycle save

It will generate FOGCycle.txt in the same directory as Debugger.exe. Please open up this file, remove your active directory account information (your ad password will be in plain text), and then upload that file here. Once done, go to the host in the FOG web server again and hit Reset Encryption Data once more. You can then start the service back up.

This is #wiki worthy for the FOG Client article - for troubleshooting.

yeh svn info worked.

im on 5721

Many thanks

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Cant get log files as restored back to snapshot.

Will try an upgrade again later.

Thanks

Nice, changed the exports and rebooted.

Looks to be uploading the image now, folder with mac has appeared in the /images/storage/dev folder.

Many thanks for the speedy help!

@Duncan There are SQL queries that can list duplicate data in a specific field. Once you have the select statement prepared, you can then put it in parentheses into the WHERE clause for a delete command.

So…
select duplicates from hostMac.mac address; (or whatever it is)

delete from hostMac where (select duplicates from hostMac.mac address);

get it? It’s been a hot second since I’ve used SQL heavily so I don’t quite remember the syntax but I’m sure you can figure it out.

Please post the command you come up with, this is one way you can GIVE BACK to an open source project. 🙂

PLEASE PLEASE export your DB before you delete anything!

I uploaded, just a moment ago, to FOG 1.2.0, and Windows 10 with OS set to Windows 7. I Uploaded, then downloaded and all worked 100% flawlessly.

Great, thanks for the info. Weird how it never worked for me first time round with windows 7 template.

Oh well. Working now too 🙂

Just sorted it.

Cleared all the tasks off from the mysql.

delete from tasks where taskStateID = x``` x being the number. i just did them all 0 -5.

I follow. So its the SysAdmin’s responsibility on their end, not the FOG Project’s responsibility. 😛

the fog username and password was the one that was given when I ran installfog.sh and setup the node.
