Is your storage node a real fog server configured as a storage node, or is this a NAS reconfigured as a storage node?
I realize we are talking about a remote site, but can you get a screen shot of the actual error so we know what permissions are denied. As long as the target computer can reach a storage node it should deploy.
@geardog forgive me if this has already been asked before.
Can you capture and deploy correctly to the same computer?
Also I assume in your last post the top picture and bottom picture are from two difference computers? Are they the same make and model? Do they have the same exact hard drive installed? If the target system is just one byte smaller then fog can’t deploy to it.
Are these two computers the exact same model? If so what model of computers are they? There is something here amiss. This is not a typical message we see. Its kind of hard to debug remotely without being able to touch the machines.
@laurentb Lets try this idea again now that we know the problem.
You must copy the file first to a save location then install it. So you need to maybe use a batch file like this.
@Echo Off
if not exist "C:\Program Files\Packages" mkdir "C:\Program Files\Packages"
if not exist "C:\Program Files\Packages" mkdir "C:\Program Files\Packages\Modsho"
copy /Y %~dp0\modsho-1.1.msi "C:\Program Files\Packages\Modsho"
msiexec -i "C:\Program Files\Packages\Modsho\modsho-1.1.msi" /qn
Understand I wrote that batch file out of my head. I did not debug or test it. It should work (??).
Let me say this is working as fog was designed. If you want to keep the MSI locally you will have to change how the snapin works. You will need to create a snapin pack (kind of like a zip file). That snapin pack will contain a batch file which will call your msi file as well as copy the MSI file to any location you need. To say it another way instead of the snapin calling the msi directly, you will need the snapin to call a batch file, that will call the msi as well as move the msi to where you need it.
@kagashe Lets get some terms clear. FOG has two install modes. One is the normal FOG install. This creates a master node. The other install mode is a storage node. In a typically FOG configuration you will always have at least a (normal) FOG server install. This shall be your master node. You can have as many storage nodes as your organization needs. (hang in there I’m almost to the point of your question) You would typically place the master node at your HQ and storage nodes at remote sites.
At your HQ you would set dhcp options 66 and 67 to point to the master node. At each remote site you set your dhcp options 66 and 67 to point to your local storage node. That way you are not pulling any boot files over your site to site WAN connections.
@mpsadmin So are the files actually making it to the NAS? The only reason why the fog server would keep replicating is because the check sums would not match so it will send the file over again. Possibly date/time mismatch might trigger the replication again, but I think they are focusing on the check sum as the key to replicate.
I just saw something, you are booting this target computer with a FOS USB drive [boottype=usb]?
This appears to be an interesting issue. I might suspect that either the target computer either doesn’t have an IP network or something else is going on here.
Is 149.166.139.13 the IP address of your fog server?
If so then on your fog server key in the following command:
showmount -e 127.0.0.1
I see that you are using the https protocol? The ip address [149.166.139.13] points to in-info-fog.soic.iupui.edu?
Is the target (pxe booting host) on the same subnet (vlan) as the fog server?
Here is my POC tutorial to setup a synology nas as a FOG storage node: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9430/synology-nas-as-fog-storage-node
You need to watch directory permission on the synology NAS as well as nfs share permissions.
@turcotter TBH, I did not look at the first script. I just did take a peek and this should work for you. I just got rid of the intents.
@Echo Off
Set csv=\\Server\Share\pcsetup\ipchanger\ComputerList.csv
for /f “skip=1 delims=, tokens=1-7” %%a in (%csv%) do (
if /I “%computername%”=="%%a" (
netsh int ipv4 set address “Local Area Connection” static %%b %%c %%d
netsh int ipv4 set dnsserver “Local Area Connection” static %%e
netsh int ipv4 add dnsserver “Local Area Connection” %%f
netsh int ipv4 add dnsserver “Local Area Connection” %%g
)
)
REM Pause
Echo On
Now for the csv file. It looks like it takes on this form from the script
computer_name, ip_addr, subnet_mask, gateway,dns_server1, dns_server2, dns_server3
computer1, 192.168.1.20,255.255.255.0,192.168.1.1,192.168.1.50,192.168.1.52,192.168.1.55
No need for headers unless a human needs to read it. The script will look for a line that matches the current computer name in the .csv file and then set the parameters accordingly.
Just be aware you will have the same issue as the OP of the thread I linked, the snapin runs as the SYSTEM user, which is a local admin user that has no domain rights. You will need to map a drive to the remove CSV file, or just include it with the snapin then not need to worry about connecting to an external share.
@turcotter Someone who is doing something similar, where you might get an idea or two don’t follow the title, the action is the same none the less: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11474/problem-to-mapping-network-drive-using-snapin-with-batch-file
@geardog Just a comment here on your screen shots. It would be much easier if you connected to the FOG server using putty or some other terminal program so you can copy and paste directly from the fog server into the forums. There’s a point when the images you post are so small that they are hard to read even if the pictures are enlarged.
@geardog Just so I’m clear on this. The reference image (original) had a 1TB hard drive. You captured it as single disk resizable. You are now trying to restore the image to a 250GB disk? The total size of all of the data is less than 250GB right?
Looking at the partition layout I see P3 being 38GB (compressed) and P5 being 12GB (compressed).
Is this is standard windows 10 disk layout?
@kagashe Reading between the lines here, If you have a storage node at each remote location, then that becomes your pxe boot server at the remote location. The location plugin, when configured, will direct the clients assigned to that storage node to image from that storage node.
@irfan4701 I’m going to suspect that with the ubuntu systems its using standard disk partitions. I know that at one time FOG couldn’t resize LVM disks so non-resizable was the only option. I thought the developers were working on that option, but maybe LVM resizing was on the roadmap and not actively being worked on.
with centos 7 booted, can you post the output of this command
lsblk ? I’m suspecting that LVM is your disk format.
Also it would be helpful to know what version of FOG you are using.
<snark> Welcome to windows 10; how M$ likes it, not the way you need it </snark>
The easiest way to remove the store from the task bar is via GPO: https://4sysops.com/archives/remove-windows-store-app-from-taskbar-with-group-policy/
As for pinning things to the task bar, you will need to look into “LayoutModificationTemplate” ref: http://www.scconfigmgr.com/2016/08/03/customize-pinned-items-on-taskbar-in-windows-10-1607-during-osd-with-configmgr/
@fog-user said in Problem to mapping network drive using snapin with batch file:
Ok the problem is due to the batch script, which runs as system user, not current user.
i would like to apply this script:
Set csv=\192.168.1.1\myshare\ip.csv
This is your problem, still as I mentioned. The batch script runs as the SYSTEM user, which is a local administrative account. The SYSTEM user has zero domain rights, or rights on another computer. Your script will not work as it is currently designed.
So how to make it work? You have 2 options.
net use w: "\\192.168.1.1\myshare" /user:domain\user user-password
for /F “skip=1 delims=, tokens=1-6” %a in (w:\ip.csv) do (if “ACF-UNDICI” == “%a” (
...
net use w: /delete
Same error as you posted above when I tried to edit my post just now.
I was also seeing that issue last night. I messed with it a bit and decided to give up. I was also seeing 503 (too busy) errors from the forums at the same time.
