Great work !! :clap_tone1:

@george1421

I just made a .bat with this inside and it looks to work fine.

@echo off
msiexec /qn /x "FOG Service Installer.msi"
msiexec /qn /i "FOGService.msi"

Thank you.

@Wayne-Workman I’ll work a bit more on the script.

IF %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==AMD64 set programpath=%programfiles(x86)%
IF %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==x86 set programpath=%programfiles%
IF EXIST "%programpath%\FOG\fog.ca.cer" GOTO END
set FogServerIP=fogserver
set GetID=wmic product where "Version like '3.0.29' and name like 'FOG Service'" get IdentifyingNumber
for /F "skip=1 delims=" %%i in ('%GetID%') do if not defined ID set "ID=%%i"
IF "%ID%" NEQ "" start /wait msiexec /x %ID% /q
start /wait bitsadmin /transfer FOGService /download /priority normal http://%FogServerIP%/fog/client/FOGService.msi %temp%\FOGService.msi
start /wait msiexec /i %temp%\FOGService.msi /quiet WEBADDRESS="%FogServerIP%"
:END

This should works but I don’t know wwhy my download end in queue when there is nothing else to do and I can’t install client silently… I love computers…

@sourceminer Hello, I never tested using a channel but using a private message works fine with test token.

Here is my conf :

@Jbob It’s working.

I found something else.
In the MSI détails, I don’t have the right version displayed.
It’s write : {16B0BCD7-423F-49A9-B757-E457D7312A33}

Can you display version during install ?

Shouldn’t we be able to update client from tray or from GUI ?
I didn’t find how do this without overwriting.

@george1421 Just found proxy in ~/.bashrc
I run install again.

@Sebastian-Roth
I make new install of Fog under Debian.
I was using Ubuntu years ago so it’s old install (3 years old).

I have been testing Fog version since years with Tom.
And as i work with VM, i can revert change easily.

@george1421 Was this !! But needed a reboot after.

Thank you very much to all of you.

@Sebastian-Roth Here are the 2 files :
Export Hosts FOG Project.csv
Export Groups FOG Project.csv

Maybe you also need installed apps version or a full db backup ?

After a week server was saying this and I had to force reboot.

@Wayne-Workman Downloading the client from server wasn’t something I have think about. Nice one.
It’s not “fog.ca.cer” that we should look for instead of “fog.ca” ?
I don’t think to have %ProgramFiles(x86)% under my 32 bits OS !

I go lunch and I’ll look at this part this afternoon if you don’t do it before me.

edit :

IF %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==amd64 SET programpath=Program Files ^(x86^)
IF %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==x86 SET programpath=Program Files
IF NOT EXIST "%systemdrive%\%programpath%\FOG\fog.ca.cer" (
set FogServerIP=fog-server
set GetID=wmic product where "Version like '3.0.29' and name like 'FOG Service'" get IdentifyingNumber
for /F "skip=1 delims=" %%i in ('%GetID%') do if not defined ID set "ID=%%i"
setlocal

start /wait msiexec /i %temp%\FOGService.msi /quiet WEBADDRESS="%FogServerIP%"
endlocal
)

“set” doesn’t look to work when put after “setlocal” for me so I have moved it upper…
How are you sure that old client is version 3.0.29 ?

Hello,

I have 2 network, one with a DHCP server and internet and other one without both.
I would like to use FOG DHCP server on the lan without internet.

Can preinstall need packages before running for FOG install ?
Can I install DHCP manualy and configure it after changing network to not bring confict on the network that already have a DHCP ?

Thank you

@sebastian-roth I am not good enough on coding to work on the project and work on something that already exist need time to understand the process before making any update (unless you need me to crash the OS during the setup ! lol).

What kind of documentation is needed ?
Is there still any plan to make a ready to use VM ?

@sebastian-roth Yes. I’m an running Debian on a Qnap with Container Station.
From what I have read nsf server can’t run under LXC/LXD version.
I’ll try using other that LXD version.

@sebastian-roth I should read because I go too fast and end asking stupid questions ! lol
It was write in white on black !

Hello,
I made a fresh install of dev-branch on Debian 11 LXD (only GIT and SSH installed) and I have this error :

Thank you for your help.

@sebastian-roth I am not sure if I can help. I am a beginnner in from of Thomas. And I am very busy between work and personnal life since few months but if it’s to build a data base of script for software, maybe I can help a bit, yet it will take time to make one and need reactivity to keep it update.

What are the need in the project ?

@wayne-workman What is missing is already packaged install script for drivers and apps (as WAPT for software). We have move to KACE at work just because we wanted to stop using two servers (not for the price ! lol).

Most of colleagues used FOG with one image for each brand and each model and was deploying software with WAPT.

If we could have integrate driver install from FOG, maybe we could have stay using it.

I have worked a lot on my side to create an image that wasn’t link to any hardware installing drivers and most used apps after deploy (everything from samba share on the FOG server) but no one took time to look at it at my work. I end running only one image for 6 years making new one every 2 years for OS version update when colleagues had 5 or 6 images.

As i nearly don’t use FOG anymore at work, I think i’ll install my own server at home for making Windows install easier and faster on friends computers.

@Sebastian-Roth We have find out that bios mode had to set to “Legacy Support” with priority on “UEFI First” and not with bios mode on “UEFI”.
Problem wasn’t coming from FOG.

Sorry and thank you for your help.

@Sebastian-Roth
I have tested http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.efi.
Here is the result :

@Sebastian-Roth Sorry, I didn’t said it was the same for every version tested.
Maybe an update will fix my problem.

Thank you.
