I have a client @ a remote site that is repeating:

any suggestions?

I have already checked and made sure /fog/ is the web_root in the gui.

@the_ccm

I tried this but get an error on the client when selecting the rescue cd option:

docache... Operation not permitted (http://ipxe.org/410c613c)

maybe a permission issue on /var/www/utils folder ? mine is root:root 755

also check http://ipxe.org/410c613c

Permissions are root:root 755 and I still get the error.
What Linux distro are you using? I am using Centos 7

@sebastian-roth Thanks for that, The PC in question was in the pending hosts.
After approving it joined the domain as expected.

@sebastian-roth said in Fog Version 1.5.9.62 hostSecToken problem:

Have you checked the list of

I am not sure where that is anymore. is that in the host settings under the mac address box?

@jj-fullmer I will have to try this when I have more time because simply copying the ipxe.efi from fog over to the uefi partition works great for when the machine is on the network, but if its not connected to the LAN it wont boot to windows its caught in an IPXE boot loop.

@sebastian-roth
Here is the php-fpm logs
I searched the MAC address in the database and found it twice.

MariaDB [fog]> SELECT * FROM `hostMAC` WHERE `hmMAC` IN (SELECT `hmMAC` FROM `hostMAC` GROUP BY `hmMAC` HAVING COUNT(`hmMAC`) > 1);
Empty set (0.00 sec)

I am still reasearching the 500 error.

Thanks.

I deleted a Lenovo PC from fog and then did a quick registration and inventory, Imaged the PC and it gets a token. Not sure why this XPS is not.

@sebastian-roth said in Fog 1.5.9.62 Location problems.:

@Greg-Plamondon Just pushed the fixed 1.5.9.63.

Awsome!
Appreciate your work!

@sebastian-roth
Thanks for the reply. Here is the fog.log

I have some Dell XPS laptops that I am having issues with fog generating the hostSecToken. i am not sure if its a fog issue or an issue with these new Dells?

what are the steps I should take to troubleshoot?

@tom-elliott said in Dell XPS 17:

@greg-plamondon I should add, there are some steps involved besides just making the switch itself.

If you want the machines to reboot and operation:

1. Boot windows
2. Open msconfig.exe
3. Click Boot Tab
4. Check box for “Safe boot”
5. Reboot machine
6. Load to Bios and Switch SATA operation Mode.
7. Reboot machine and boot into windows.
8. Open msconfig.exe
9. Click Boot Tab
10. Uncheck Box for “Safe boot”
11. Restart machine and do whatever you need to.

Tom can I do this before sysprep?

Fog 1.5.9.62 Host location reverts to “- Please select an Option -” when making any changes to the host whether it is snapins or settings.

@tom-elliott said in Dell XPS 17:

@greg-plamondon Have you tried disabling “Raid On” and switching over to “AHCI” for the SATA operation mode?

That worked Tom.

Thanks!

I am having issues with the Dell XPS 17 not detecting a hard drive.
I have tried the latest 5.10.19 64Bit kernel.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

@sebastian-roth Thanks!
That worked for me. I would also note that this is Windows 10 1607 Enterprise LTSB.
that could be why the partition is not partition 1?

@george1421 I followed the post you linked.

In my case, it was partition 2.

I then assigned partition 2 drive letter b in disakpart. killed explorer and restarted explorer.

select disk 0
select part 2
assign letter=b
exit
taskkill /im explorer.exe /f
explorer.exe

I then copied and replaced the bootx64.efi with the renamed ipxe.efi from the fogserver.
Once the file was copied over I removed the drive letter and rebooted.
I don’t see the menu while it’s booting. what am I supposed to see?

@george1421 Thanks!

Re: Windows 10 change BIOS boot order after deploy

@JJ-Fullmer, In the above topic you stated that you were able to copy the ipxe.efi to the machine’s uefi partition. How do you go about doing this automated? could elaborate on the process for me? I have VERY little experience with uefi.

Thanks!
