@vascomorais Seems like your question has mostly been answered, but I wanted to pipe in on your comment ‘I can ask the forum’. YES! These forums are amazing. There are numerous people(Including senior developers) that will respond quickly and intelligently and assist you with problems you have with the system. I can’t say enough good about this community.
Hope FOG works for you, it’s been a lifesaver for me and my organization!

@imagingmaster21 That’s what I’m working on now. Previously I wasn’t syspreping because I was scared of unattend. But others have convinced me I need to stop being a wuss and try to learn myself real good. I’m almost there. In fact as we speak I just sysprepped a reference image machine and I’m about to capture and test deploy it.
@george1421 I originally didn’t follow your guide to install and activate fpm, I had assume it was default. Once I followed the guide(not without cursing and much looking up of VIM guides), and got it installed and activated my web interface came back up and my clients waiting to image started communicating with FOG again.
I’m still not 100% that it’s fixed or if the last step(restarting PHP and Apache) simply reset the problem and it’s going to reappear in a few hours. I’ve been watching it run for 45 mins or so now and it at least appears to be stable. But we’ll see if it completes overnight or not.
Just wish I had remote capability so I could monitor from home instead of having to come to the office.

@george1421 Alright. That’s working. Unfortunately another problem that I thought might occur has come to pass. It’s nothing you guys can help with I think though. The whitelist is blocking what FOG needs to install. I’ll have to figure this out. Probably grab a wireless hotspot to connect to at least for long enough to install.
I’ve been fighting with my superiors for months about this network being too restrictive. Ugg.
Thanks again.
So I found the problem. It was a PEBCAK issue. Essentially I had also instituted a group policy restricting membership of the Local Admin group and had forgotten to add my locally created admin to the group policy. So as soon as it created the user and got domained it immediately removed it from the admin group.
Luckily I had a USB with Kali on it laying around so I just hopped on and elevated privilege on a user so I could fix the problem that had arose.
Sorry for wasting the communities time.
