@tom-elliott Image Manager Partclone Gzip

I was confused about what to choose. Because as you can see in the screen shot that the compression for basic image is Partclone Compressed. So I just went into that image definition and saw the Gzip.

@jackiejack Reinstalled my centos 7 and did not tamper with anything. Fresh install of fog. Works perfect.

My adding repos and setting the priorities of them caused the confusion. Just let fog do its 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.

@JackieJack all the computers would download the 8GB and run it locally

@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).

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

@jackiejack Right, I do have a tutorial for that already written up: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10450/adding-additional-image-storage-space-to-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.

@tom-elliott 😄
It works perfectly now

Problem: image task not going to completion, getting error
could not complete tasking /bin/fog.upload
on host

Solution: configure password - fog user account, tftp in fog settings and storage node - to match that in .fogsettings file
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10892/could-not-complete-tasking-bin-fog-upload/2
AND configure SELinux policy (CentOS/Red Hat)
To make it permissive all the time:
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Fedora_25_Server#Continue_pre-config
Particularly the two lines dealing with SELinux.

@jackiejack said in Could not complete tasking /bin/fog.upload:

That long string in .configure file is the password?

Yes that is the password and not the hash. The password for the linux user fog should have never been password. That is the default password for the web gui admin called fog yes I know its confusing. I really wish the developers long time ago would have change one of them to something different to avoid the confusion.

@tom-elliott THANKS!

@jackiejack No one will get angry. We all were “new” at one time. You are learning what you can and can’t do. FOG is a really complex system with several other open source systems under the hood. Its not something you can pick up and run with on day one. The developers have done a great job of hiding the complexities inside fog with the nice web ui.

😄
Got it.
Will read up on tutorials more carefully.
Thanks for all your help.
