Will have to check on Monday.

Will have to check. But I swear I did use sudo.

Hello,
I did fresh install of FOG server on new CentOS 7 box.

Now
You still need to install/update your database schema.

• This can be done by opening a web browser and going to:

  http://192.168.25.144/fog/management

nothing comes up.
Firewalld stopped
setenforce 0, getenforce permissive

When I try to access this address from another computer I get a 500 error.

When I hit
http://192.168.25.144

I see the default apache webpage

My OS is from the CentOS7 DVD, but not the everything dvd.

What to do?

apache error log:
[autoindex:error] [pid 7743] [client 192.168.25.144:35494] AH01276: Cannot serve directory /var/www/html/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html,index.php) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

No. There is no software that can both do deploy and reset (reset in its truest sense). Not even FOG

You can purchase Deep Freeze or search for an open source alternative. And use this software in conjuction with FOG. Place that program in your image and configure it. Capture and deploy with FOG.

Or, if you are so inclined, you can choose to deploy an image to the target pcs at the end of the day. This would be a fresh install of windows and too tedious in my opinion. Too much energy consumption.

@mz3bel said in Use fog, to restore Windows 10 to a saved configuration:

Please, how to use fog, to restore Windows 10 Pro to a saved configuration, what i mean, is that anything added buys users, it’s gets wiped each night, like a snap on virtual machine? So that the machine restore to the configuration i ve configurated, and all the files, log, etc… get deleted.

No, FOG is not used for this. You want to look for a reset software like deep freeze.

I mean you can use FOG to deploy new images to your machine every night so the computers are installed from scratch. But there are better ways of doing this as I mentioned.

Windows 10 also has a reset thing.

@tom-elliott said in Target cannot shutdown if program is open:

You were trying to say MOVE3 was modifying the abilities of the FOG Service.

Right
But MOVE3 has problems of its own. Can’t tell if the key is there or not. Now we have the server room under lock and key (3rd world country lol) so I don’t know what the error was.

No but if any “hard” error comes up like unable to find usb licence key then it prevents fog service from doing it’s thing.

@tom-elliott Feel free to delete this topic.
I guess it was on the MOVE3 side of things.

The name of the program is MOVE3.

It needs a usb dongle on the server for program to run.

I sent shutdown command. Nothing happend. Sent it again. Nothing happened. On the desktop a popup box says MOVE3 can no longer find the usb. I click OK. Save this document? NO.

Then shutdown command appears.

I guess I should send a fog snapin to kill all open programs? Any thoughts?
EDIT: dongle is in fact still present on the server. I guess my problem may be a bit different than I thought.

Huh. I restarted move3 and sent a shutdown command and it works now. No “USB cannot be located” error. USB key was there all the time. Wierd.

so with this snapin pack, it will push down the 8 GB zip file to all 20 pcs, and the pcs run the setup.exe locally? or would it be on the fog server and everyone run the setup.exe over the network?

Or I could put the folder on a server, and create a batch file (snapin) to:
map network drive
run setup.exe with switches. But would matlab support multiple installs at the same time? Is that a licensing thing?

I need to deploy MATLAB on 20 of my fog clients.

I have a setup.exe for matlab, but that calls other files in the folder. That folder is about 8 GB in size.

To run matlab silently on command line I do this:
setup.exe -inputfile installer.txt

Now, if it were a simple exe file I would create a snapin like this:
upload setup.exe to fog
Snapin Run with Argument inputfile
Snapin arguments installer.txt

Am I correct in the above?
Do I have to package the entire 8 GB folder into an exe or msi?
Should I put the matlab folder in a network share to ease fog server load?
Tell me what links to read up on.

Thank you for your help!

@wayne-workman lol it shutdown

To shutdown a computer remotely (immediately) in FOG management web gui:

Go to hosts, list all hosts, click on host, choose Power Management from list on left hand side, and choose shutdown immediately (add option).

@wayne-workman I go to power management, click on add option to shutdown immediately. Then when I check back my list of hosts tasks, I don’t see it listed

@wayne-workman Forgive me but exactly which option under the Advanced Options. Debug?

@wayne-workman said in How to use Snapin to shutdown computer:

@jackiejack Don’t use snapins, use the shutdown command. It’s in the advanced commands section, right with image deployment/capture.

You mean under advance actions?

A better title would be what the heaven are snapins.

I want to remotely shutdown any computer that is running fog service. Remotely shutdown when I want/at the click of a button

I created a batch file

shut.bat
shutdown /s /f

What to do next? I go to snapins page on fog server

@george1421 said in Win 10 image:

@jackiejack You can, but they are mostly wrong for your current setup.

No what I mean is for the SIM part. Can I follow it? Or this one:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/settings-for-automating-oobe
Or this one
http://searchenterprisedesktop.techtarget.com/tip/Create-a-hands-free-Windows-10-install-image-for-the-OOBE

See what particular scares me is section 25 v 2 b vi of https://forums.fogproject.org/assets/uploads/files/1469134024622-fog-universal-image-setup-win-7.pdf?v=78s341l4bha

she says

It seems odd to add this twice, but otherwise after sysprep it will still
prompt for an initial local account name. It may be possible to remove
the OOBE section, but I haven’t experimented with it.

Since I wanted a fully automated install of win 10 (with 2 admin accounts) should I follow this windows 7 guide? Or use the other links?

Or create the local admin accounts in audit mode first (not in SIM) then SkipUserOOBE but they say that is deprecated.

@sebastian-roth Yeah, my supervisor is satisfied with the process. It is working. Thanks so much for your help guys!

@jackiejack deployed sysprepped image unto real host on private switch. dnsmasq looks like it’s working well with my home router.
Target went into OOBE.

BUT pxe boot process asked for tftp server ip addr.
Target computer legacy boot and disable pxe boot in order to boot from hard drive. It didn’t seamlessly go to OOBE as soon as deployment tasked finished.

Feelin good.
