Been using FOG for about 3 years now. In fact in got me a job out of college!
I used to be under the user mecsr, but I passed that baton and am setting up a new fog server at a new workplace.
@Sebastian-Roth I do still have it on hand if you have any new ideas. I just ended up going through my image prep process with a fresh install of windows as if I was making the image on this computer. It was much much slower of course, but it worked. This one in particular has been deployed now, but if we have something promising I could probably pull it back from production and give the user something else in the interim.
@mparlette Why thank you good sir =)
I keep meaning to update some pieces of that module but keep not having time.
But anyway, I have been using the api via powershell for AD stuff since I made it
I don’t have time to delve deep into an explanation right now but here’s a quick code example that I use to create an OU string based on the fog group name and then add the domain join info. It doesn’t all use my api as it and could use some optimization but it works as it is so I haven’t updated it yet. But the invoke-fogapi command I believe is the same as in the module published in the powershell gallery. So it can work together.
Though another quick note, it looks like the OP’s error message is saying AD is disabled on the server. Make sure that it isn’t actually disabled. YOu can also try resetting the encryption data on the client.

Hope that helps
@Sebastian-Roth Gotta love how reflective this computer’s screen is…Took a picture of the debug output

@mparlette Also, also, thank you for using my module! I’m glad to see that others are finding use of it!
Also also also, another failsafe is to just run commands through invoke-fogapi if the other functions aren’t working. It requires a bit more understanding of the uri paths and using the api. But all the other functions are really just helper functions that make it easier to call that one master function. It’s also the function that actually has some info in it if you run help invoke-fogapi -full
@mparlette also, ps. If you run that same code with a -verbose on update-fogobject you’ll get a lot more information.
Another quick update is that I’m also working on a better settings system where the module’s saved settings are stored in the fog service program file folder so that they aren’t overridden when you update the module.
All of these updates may take a while to get done and published as I have a lot of other projects at the moment and I tend to put my work in an internal git repo and just publish stable things to the fog community git and psgallery.
If you’re in a bit of a rush and are ok with beta code to play with, I can zip up my current working version and post it here
@mparlette I just saw this and just today was finding some issue with Update-fogobject
The issue appears to be with the dynamic parameter variable I have in the function for the coreobjecttype.
For some reason it is working when you call the function and brings up all the coreobject type choices but then the variable is being set to null when the function is running.
Meaning that when function builds the uri it only gets
http://fogserver/fog//id/edit
instead of
http://fogserver/fog/coreObjectType/id/edit
So one workaround I will try to publish by the end of the day is adding an optional uri parameter to that function so that you can manually override it when neccesarry.
Also I should really add more documentation to each of the functions instead of just having it all under Invoke-fogapi
I also will add a try/catch block to invoke-fogapi for when invoke-restmethod fails and have it try invoke-webrequest.
@Sebastian-Roth Sadly it just hung as well. Thanks for giving it a try though, I know compiling a kernel isn’t a 2 second process.
@Sebastian-Roth I also tried various old kernels from the fog kernel update (giving them different names of bzImage of course) non of which worked but had either similar errors or just hung.
So a special kernel is greatly appreciated.

So no it’s not an HP x2 210 tablet, but I wouldn’t doubt it’s got enough similarity to have the same problem being an HP x tablet.
