Can I upgrade to the latest release from 0.32 or do I need to complete all the other updates?

i was talking about GPO in windows.

We have over 100 printers and FOG we felt would be fine for smaller installations.

So you put all the details for the printer in the GPO under computer settings? You don’t use Deploy printer feature (under users)?
I see the default option there, but the admin of the printers seems more.

I have built this script process that finishes the fog imaging for us.
is VERY useful and it’s just the finish the fogproject needs.

I don’t have time to explain this now,
Put the prep folder in the local C:\ of the image

It’s all open and I have attached a PDF to show the workflow.
You will need to update with passwords etc for your systems.

I’m happy to help, anyone who want to give it a go. Just ask and we can do it here for others to read.

We installed our Fog Service on the image.

I have devised a script that allows you to set default printers for your rooms.
Depending on your environment this can be a copy paste or a little more.
I’m happy to help people adapt the script for their own use.
The script is run as a user logon script (no extra permissions required)

Our ticket information documentation is as below:

[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#222222]The script basically completes the following steps: [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#222222]1) Gets the full localhost computername and removes the DT from the name (SDT015010000 = S015 ) [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#222222]2) looks at all network printers installed on localhost. it the removes the PR from the name, like above [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#222222]3) IF the PCCode and the PrinterCode are the same then the script will set the printer as default. [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#222222]If there are more than one room printer then the script will default to the last printer it finds. If you want to set the other, then you will need to use the manual section of the script to override the setting. [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#222222]4) The script will now look at local printers [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#222222]Again the script will default to the last printer it finds if you have more than one. The script does contain a list of “SKIP” printers that we can add printers like CutePDF. Local printers take priority over network printers so a local printer (if connected) will always become the default [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#222222]5) The script will now run the Manual mappings where we can specify override rules. [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#222222]6) Last is the debugging section. Everything here is already set, but the last two lines of the script can be enabled to display script output when run.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

The current stable version does not support windows 8

The new version that you can download 0.33 can (in testing)

Well we have two sites but no router (all on the subnet)
So the network see’s it as one.

I wanted to add a 2nd server into our setup because the pipe between sites is 100Mps.
if we where to image site 2, this would render then useless.

Did think of just adding another FOG server and having done with it. But then due to them using the same DHCP they would boot off the site 1 FOG. we would have to amend DHCP record when we wanted to use site 2. Did find a link [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Multiple_TFTP_servers[/url]

But that seems to do a lot of sync. we are trying to reduce bandwidth.

Any idea’s?

how did you chaps get on with this?

are you still looking for testers?

I use BGInfo (google it) to record to a DB for other reasons, but this can help.
You can lookup a host and see then it was last used.

I’ve had this and it was bad RAM that was stopping the imaging process.

swap all RAM with other machines and see how you get on.

Well i can only find records in the config.php and the GUI / other information / fog settings.

If this is important, i would create another fog server in a VM with two NIC’s and give it a try.
I would do it for you but just don’t have time at the moment. I can’t find my notes

i’ll take a look tomorrow.

Do you have any error messages?

I believe the FOG Linux user password and the FTFP password have to be the same. upgrading FOG might have changed the TFTP one, but not the Linux FOG as the user was already created.

To test, get the TFTP password from the .cfg and try to use it to login to the Linux FOG user account.

This can be done. I would backup all config files and your MySQL before you start.
Open the config files & you will find entires for eth0, just change them to eth1
And logging into the FOG GUI / fog settings you will find some enties for eth0

I have done this before. I just checked every FOG config file going.

If you need more details, let me know and i’ll see if I can find my notes.

have done as requested.

I sent falko a Dell bios unlocker. tested on our machines and it worked.

P.S thanks for the Dell tool

I have found some more information that I think would be even better. I’ll test it, then send it over Wednesday.
See, UK chum… this could be good…
