@FlowLive I guess the only question I am seeing is that you are asking how to determine if the machine is a laptop or desktop. The easiest way to accomplish this is to use a script as the snap in that will check if it is a laptop and if so run the installer from a share some where. If it is a desktop then no installer is run.

Natively there is no way to have FOG determine if the machine is a laptop. But if you know what machines are laptops as you add them, you can have machines belong to multiple groups, add all laptops to a Laptop group and apply only those 3 snapins with no other setting in that particular group. Not automatic, but does work.

I quite often use scripts instead of actual files for snap ins, mostly due to old limitations of snapins back in the .32 days, so I guess it is just an old habit.

@FlowLive So far the persistent groups as I laid out in the kb and link previously is working in my environment. A formal solution (authored by the devs) would be better. But if there is no plan to support persistent groups in fog 1.3 (as of today) then this solution should work for you too. You will just need to create your host consistent templates and then setup your host groups as outlined in the KB.

@FlowLive
It seems since I am using trunk this is not applicable anymore using the newer client version.

Thanks again to Wayne Workman helped me out figuring this and updated the wiki with a note for the ones running version 1.3.0 of the server.

I will leave this post as resolved in case someone else in the future also looks for this info.

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply, was away for a while.

Fix pushed. Basically if there’s any “bad” characters, I replace them (for the html attributes) with _, this way the attribute is setup properly and can be edited.

@FlowLive Hey that’s great to hear that someone can repeat my madness… 😓

@Wayne-Workman Le me see if I can clean it up a bit. I need to see if I can integrate what @Sebastian-Roth noted in this thread about using a logical to represent the fog server IP. I think I can make it work.
