I have also tried upgrading the Fog Client from 11.19 to 12 and am seeing the same issue.

I recently upgraded from Fog 1.5.8 to 1.5.9 on my Ubuntu 18 server and now whenever I image a computer it does not change the host name or add to the domain. The error I am seeing is from the client is in the image attached.

You were correct, using DCC is not an option. I did find that by using the CMD prompt and entering

bcdedit.exe /enum

it will display your working Windows Boot Manager but not the extras. However, if you use

bcdedit.exe /enum firmware

it will display all the different WBMs, even the faulty ones.
I am currently trying to build a script that will remove the false entries.

@george1421 That is correct.

@zer0cool I am using Dell Command Configure, Dell just has the exe file labeled as CCTK.exe. There is not really an error message that pops up but the utility can not set the boot order once the “Windows Boot Manager” has more than two duplicate entries because the uefi.x gets out of order and it selects the wrong device. If I can’t get the boot order set than it will require our techs to visit the machine to PXE boot it because it will have the OS set as the first boot device. Plus, you can only have so many WBM entries so I have read.

@zer0cool Here is my Setup.cmd file

@quazz Dell Optiplex 9020, 7050, 7440, 7450, and all BIOS on those models are up to date.

I have ran into a problem where each time a machine is imaged using UEFI it does not remove the old “Windows Boot Manager” and creates a new entry after each image. Currently my Test machine has 5 WBM entries.The reason this is an issue is because the Setup.cmd script I am using sets the boot order to "Network IPv4, CD-ROM,HDD but with multiple entries it screws up because of the false entries. Has anyone had a similar issue or know a way to reset it during or after imaging?

Thanks,

@sebastian-roth said in Trouble Copying Image to other Fog Servers:

ls -alR /images/

Sorry, that was a typo, the name of the image is Win7MasterNoIEv4 on both the WebGUI and the Folder itself.

Here is the output of the Node:

I was able to delete the image from the node and let it sync through the FogImageReplicater service and it worked fine. The problem is I still do not have a way to copy my images to the main fog server at Site B from other sites. I have to pull the machine at site B and take it back to site A so it can upload the image directly then take it back to site B. I have 5 other sites that the image can be rsync’ed to and it works with no issues.

I took the Fog server from Site B to Site A and uploaded the image directly with no issues. I then took it back to site B and it had no issues deploying. I then reconnected Nodes 1, 2, and 3 to the fog server in site B, gave it time to replicate, then tried to image from the storage nodes. I received the same issue shown in the screen shot above.

@sebastian-roth it does not show any kind of blue screen. It shows the screen just before partclone takes off then goes to the error shown above.

@tom-elliott After that screen it just runs through the PostDownloadScript sequence then reboots and the task it removed from Fog as though it completed.

@wayne-workman sorry, here is a screenshot. the odd part is I uploaded the image at 2 other sites and the image works fine. It still does not work at 3 other sites though. The image shows what each of them are doing. The Image name is Win7MasterNoIEv4 on both the folder name and the image name in the GUI. The name was copy-pasted so the characters all match.

@wayne-workman the image path and image name are both identical.

I am running Fog 1.5.2.11 on 7 Servers with 3 nodes each on Ubuntu 16.04. I created an image at one site and it downloads fine but when I copy the image to another fog server it does not download. i used scp -r to copy the image from one fog server to another then I :

sudo chown fog:root -R /images/Win7Masterv4
sudo chmod 777 -R /images/Win7Masterv4

Then I added the image name to the Fog server and tried to download it but it says the file does not exist. I don’t know if it is a rights issue or if the file is corrupt when I move it to one of the other fog servers but it just wont work. Prior 1.5.0 I never ran into a problem moving images between each server so I am unclear what broke.

@tom-elliott Awesome, working like a charm, thank you.

@tom-elliott Okay, so would it look something like this?

if [osid=win7] 
then
rsync ****
fi

Sorry for the Noob question.

This isn’t so much of a problem as it is me just not being that familiar with scripting. I have my postdownloadscript setup to copy Drivers and specific programs but we are moving to Windows 10 While still using windows 7 in some cases. We want to to keep office 2013 installed on Win7 and Office 2016 on win10. How would I write my script to check the OS version so it knows what Office files to copy to the client from the fog server?

Thanks,

@tom-elliott your the man! that was the issue. My Node was set to support 0 clients. thank you all for your awesome product!

@tom-elliott Sure thing, just let me know when is good for you sir.
