@sebastian-roth @george1421 Solved! Thank you for your time!
There is no firewall between the host and storage node. There is a firewall between the storage node and the master but is correctly configured.

The problem was that the storage node is registered at the master with his dns name and this was somehow deleted from the domain.

I have restored the dns record for the storage node and now all is functions correctly except “Storage Node Disk Usage” from the dashboard (it shows nothing), but this is not a big problem.

@gn_ro Not exactly sure why you run into this issue but looking through the code and searching the web for this error message I might have an idea what’s going on. After the deployment (through partclone.dd in this case) FOS looks for any NTFS partition, tries to mount it and see if it can modify registry files to change the hostname of the machine (pre Windows boot up!). This feature is called “early hostname change” and can be turned off. In the FOG web UI go to FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> section General Settings -> uncheck CHANGE HOSTNAME EARLY and save settings.

Unfortunately this can only be turned on and off globally. Most people want to keep that turned on and so might you for most of your machines. But I think it’s appropriate for you to quickly turn it off whenever you need to deploy that special machine.

@sebastian-roth Thank you! I hope will help others too.

I finally solved this using the WOL broadcast plugin. Steps:

Created WOL broadcast with the public ip of the site where those computers are On the router from the second site added static arp for private ip 10.148.17.254 to mac ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (broadcast) On the same router forwarded port 9 udp to 10.148.17.254

You can mark this as solved. Thank you!

For others: The remote site has computers with activated and working wake on lan and the router configured for DHCP with next server the IP of the FOG server and filename undionly.kpxe (for legacy BIOS boot).
