Hi !

I know that Tom is busy with the bugfixing of the actual fog version,
but i would like to make a small feature request:

My co-worker created a few ‘help’ databases (with nuBuilder) so we can store some additional informations/configurations for our fog deployment.
We created a list of snapins (apps & configuration) which will be deployed (with the help of some small autoit scripts) after the initial fog deployment.

So my request would be a possibility to create list of snapins which can be deployed in a batch.
(For example each department could have their own application list).
The list could be choosen in the “General” Host view.

This would improve the snapin part of fog.

I hope my explanation is understandable.
I would be a tester if you need.

What do you think ?

switching to the faster gpxelinux sounds great.
I’m gone through the wiki article but stuck on step 7 (dhcp).
We don’t use fog as dhcp server, this will be handeld by our ms 2008 server.

Can i skip this step and it should still work?
Or do i need to configure something on the win server ?

[quote=“Bountyman12, post: 3783, member: 80”]I had this issue as well when I was testing on how to deploy snap-ins to my windows 7 machines at work. I was able to work around this by disabling the [B]“Interactive Services Detection”[/B] under the [B]Services section[/B] in [B]Computer Management[/B] in Windows 7 on the client computers. I am not sure what this affects but I have not noticed any issues since this was disabled.[/quote]

I already tested that, but with that option only the message does not appear.
The fullscreen autoIT script does not appear ether.

@all using Win7 and fog software deployment: does your snapins are visible during installation ?

Use msconfig and under the startup tab make sure fogtray is disabled. Then go into your start menu and remove fogtray.exe from startup.

It’s that simple.

the client still communicates using the fog service, but the communication won’t be displayed on the fog tray (also removed printer support )[/quote]

That was easy, but did no make any change regarding the issue.

[quote=“ssx4life, post: 3505, member: 268”]If you don’t use fogtray and ONLY use the client service I think it will resolve these issues for win 7. The client needs to be updated and configured for win 7 which it hasn’t been yet. I think the issue you are seeing is due to UAC.[/quote]

How can i disable fog tray and use only the service?

I’m wondering why nobody else have the same issue?

Hi everyone,

perhaps someone facing the same issue or has a solution for my problem.

System: Win 7 32/64 Bit
Fog 0.32

Deploying etc. works fine and without issues.

But when an AD is logged on and a snapin will be deployed an icon in the taskbar appears.
When clicking on this icon the following message appears:

[IMG]http://www.epgtools.com/Plugins/Netflix/images/isdd.jpg[/IMG]

We use AutoIT to create executable snapin scripts. During Installtion a fullscreen popup appears,
which informs the user that a software will be installed and that they do not shutdown the client until installation is done.

After some investigation this has something to do with Session isolation in Win7.
The problem seems to be that the the deplyoment will be handeld by the fog service.

Is there any solution to get that fixed?
(There is a command to switch to the “interactive dialog”, but with an ugly overlayed popup)
