I am having issues with the snapins replicating over and over, here is a snippet of the logs.

[03-05-19 3:55:58 pm] # 01a - BAY-Teamviewer: File does not exist optfogsnapinsTeamViewer-Bay.sfx.exe (13Storage)
it doesnt exist because the path is being included in the name.

Sorry if this has been addressed already but I couldn’t find a solution.

@Tom-Elliott
I am good with either. I just don’t want my help desk techs seeing the password.

Thanks!

the fog GUI is now showing the unencrypted password for joining the domain when you press the eyeball.
Ho do I would like to have it not show the password if possible.

When upgrading I get this message.

* Setting up fog user.........................................Already setup
* Setting up fog password.....................................Failed
# The fog system account password includes characters we cannot properly
# handle. Please remove the following character(s) from the password in
# your .fogsettings file before re-running the installer: 283332

it seems that it doesn’t like any numeric characters in the password in /opt./fog/.fogsettings

Thanks that worked!

I am having issues with the server replicating to the remote nodes over and over again.

[01-28-19 2:15:32 pm]  | Started sync for Snapin 11a - SimplifyPrinting - Resource id #21838
[01-28-19 2:15:40 pm]   # 11a - SimplifyPrinting: File does not exist optfogsnapinsSimplifySuite.sfx.exe (11Storage)
[01-28-19 2:15:40 pm]   # 11a - SimplifyPrinting: File does not exist on master node, deleting SimplifySuite.sfx.exe on 11Storage

I notice that the snapin name is including the path without the / in its name. “optfogsnapinsSimplifySuite.sfx.exe”
also its not adhering to the speed limits set.
all nodes are on the same version 1.5.5
I have to disable all replication on the server or it saturates our 100mb mpls connections
Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Thanks Tom

I am having issues with the UEFI boot order being changed to Windows Boot Manager after successfully imaging a PC.
I have to manually enter BIOS and change the boot order back to LAN
This makes imaging PC at remote sites very difficult, I would have to drive to the remote site and change the BIOS settings and that’s just not going to happen.

Does anyone know of a workaround for this issue?
I am using Lenovo ThinkCentre PC’s

does anyone have a cleanup query to cleanup hosts in the database that haven’t reported back in a specified amount of time?

@tom-elliott said in Data missing from the database after host is imaged.:

Fixed in working.

Basically what was happening was the other1 field is used to send emails. That part still can happen (as any value that’s not an email will just not receive an email), but it was clearing the field after it sent the email out.

I just commented out the line as I cannot remember exactly why I was clearing it to begin with.

Thanks Tom!

@tom-elliott said in Data missing from the database after host is imaged.:

Found it.

WOW that was fast

@tom-elliott said in Data missing from the database after host is imaged.:

@greg-plamondon I’ve yet to hear of imaging causing a change on the other tags. Only during registration does this happen. I’ll take a look at the inventory update script, maybe I missed something?

I have found a work around using the “Other Tag #2” for now.
Thanks!

@george1421 said in Data missing from the database after host is imaged.:

@greg-plamondon So just for clarity, if you disable your fog post install script from running (from the master script) the Othertag data is removed from the database?

I could see if you might have altered Othertag data it might happen.

Yes, the othertag is removed. Interesting enough I am able to use the “Other Tag #2” ie “iOtherTag1” field fine.

I also reverted back to fog 1.5.2 and I am having the same issue.

Ok, it doesn’t matter what I do with the scripts. the Othertag data is removed after I image the PC.

if i comment out this section…

       case $othertag in
            BAY)

                ;;
            JET)
                . ${postdownpath}fog.log

                . ${postdownpath}fog.ad
                ;;	
            *)
                . ${postdownpath}fog.log
                . ${postdownpath}fog.replace-files
                . ${postdownpath}fog.drivers
                . ${postdownpath}fog.ad
                ;;
        esac

the data remains after imaging.

I take that back… The data doesn’t persist regardless if I comment it out.

@george1421

It’s not removing the host. its removing data from the inventory section of the database.

You are currently running version: 1.5.2.10

did you watch the video?

I really don’t know how to explain this issue without using a –>>VIDEO<<–.
We use the “iOtherTag” in the inventory section to determine what company a PC belongs to, we also use this field to trigger what unattend.xml amongst other post init scripts to use. When we image the PC the “iOtherTag” table data for that host gets removed from the DB.

Here is my “fog.postdownload”

as always thanks for the help all!

@george1421 said in Extended fog variables problem.:

@greg-plamondon

Change anything: No you are just telling wget to not pass the user agent parameters to FOG.

CURL: Just replace the wget line with the curl line Tom posted. Same results just a different tool. The fog code has been updated (under the hood) to only use curl. There may be a time where curl specific calls are used. But today both work interchangeably.

I had to use the -A option for curl to specify the user agent.

curl -A "" -Lkso /tmp/hinfo.sh ${web}/service/hostinfo.php -d "mac=$mac" 

That worked like a charm!
Thanks @george1421 @Tom-Elliott

do i need to change anything when running that from my fog.postdownload?
