we use the $othertag to do different things for our sister companies.

How is $part determined?

@george1421 do you mind sharing your complex post download script with me

well, I thought I had it licked but here is the issue with Windows 10 version 2004 MBR image.
It creates 3 partitions but they are in the wrong order.

Fog mounts /dev/sda3 which, in this case, is partition 3 the Recovery partition.

Here is the lsblk for the VM golden image.

I am using the postdownload scripts function to replace files on the os.
I have recently created a golden image of Windows 10 build 2004 and something has changed.
The image is a GPT image.
When deploying the image to the client pc it fails with:

the OS partition is /dev/sda3

any ideas on how to fix this?

*** EDIT
I went back to the golden image and used diskpart to delete partition 4 which is the Recovery Partition.

diskpart
select disk 0
select partition 4
delete partition override
exit

re-syspreped and uploaded to fogserver.

@Greg-Plamondon said in Powershell script doesnt work when fog client executes it:

The problem I am seeing is that the following script works if I run it from a PowerShell window but not as a snapin.

Do you see it being executed in the fog-client log? Just want to make sure!

Are you aware of the fact that fog-client runs as SYSTEM account. Maybe this causes your script to behave different to what you expect?

Not sure if this is playing a role in your case as well? https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11671/powershell-snapin-and-registry

Sorry just updated my original post with the log.

I have the lock/logins screen set so that users know not to logon while the setup process is running.

I am using this PowerShell script in a snapin to change the image back to the default, the snapin is set to reboot.

@Sebastian-Roth I am positive we do not deploy the fog client with group policy.
Even with group policy, it wouldn’t install over the existing without removing the old unless the installer permits it.

@Sebastian-Roth I think this was caused by me. I was having issues with fog on the working 1.6 so I rolled back to an older snaphot of the VM. I then went back to Working 1.6 after 2 days. I still don’t see how the fog installer would allow a downgrade install?

@Sebastian-Roth
The strange thing is looking at the install dates, Version 11.17 was installed on the 12-13 and an older version installed on 12-16?

Strange.

@Sebastian-Roth

Yes, I have started the long process of re-installing on all of the affected workstations.
I am sure I can find another PC that has the same issue and post more of the log file.

Clients started to update and throw errors

would you prefer i post bugs for working 1.6 elsewhere or are the forums fine?

1.6

I have ## Version: 1.5.7.56 installed…
what repo is 1.6 in?

I checked the userTracking table in the fog database and it has 22104 records

You can keep pushing execution time out, but it is quite possible that you may have too many entries for php to handle the data in a reasonable time frame, especially if this instance has been running for a while. If you don’t need the historical data, truncating the userTracking table (truncate table fog.usertracking) as suggested in https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11713/503-service-unavailable-error/54 should get it up and running and will show data going forward until it gets too ungainly again.

I was able to truncate the table and then run a report. I wish i was able to store more records.

@Daniel-Miller said in FOG User Tracking -Search:

Good, the values are changing.

It may take upwards of a minute or two depending on how many entries are getting pulled.

I checked the userTracking table in the fog database and it has 22104 records
By the way, this hasn’t worked for us for quite some time, I just never got around to reporting it.
but now I have been getting a lot of requests for reports and it was nice to be able to quickly generate what time a user logged into the pc.

@Daniel-Miller said in FOG User Tracking -Search:

Good, the values are changing.

there is also an execution time limit that should be set in one of the ini / conf files as well. I believe the setting is max_execution_time which I think takes a value in seconds and defaults to 30. you may want to play with that value to see if you can get a response in a reasonable time. It may take upwards of a minute or two depending on how many entries are getting pulled.

So far I have changed the /etc/php.ini max_execution_time = 300 with no luck.
