Reading this topic title made me think of something.
Could it be possible to auto set name from selected group as default name if name is set to empty.

For exemple, we add a computer to group named “Laptop” and it end name “Laptop01”.
If “Laptop03” exist, automatically named “Laptop04”.

Maybe a page with “personalised fast registration” options and a new line on PXE menu could be what we need.
We could select what would be asked and what should be set automaticaly.
Default image, default naming, default group, default storage.

We name our computer “RoomNumber-ComputerNumber”. (Ex : 007-01 or Lavoisier-01)
Best automaticaly naming would be “Location/Storage-GroupName-Number”.

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

Thank you very much to all of you.

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

@george1421 said:

apt-get install wget

Nothing to install or update.

@george1421 Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS and I just downloaded the last SVN version perfectly. I want to update rev 4730.

@Wayne-Workman It has full web acces on new firewall.

@george1421 It just say that it need repository to work.

@george1421 We removed proxy but I had to set the previous one a bit everywhere.
I have unset http_proxy, check bashrc.

Hello,

I keep having the “* Adding needed repository…Failed!” error.

I have check everything I changed about proxy since we upgraded our system but I must miss something somewhere.

What does the script use to do this ? Maybe I set proxy for this before and forgot to update it ?
Where can I find log about this “failure” ?

Thank you.

@Wayne-Workman Make it in reports with column choice will be the next step ! lol
Result looks already great and nearly enough for my needs !

Hello,

could it be possible to export partial inventory of the hardware such as only :

Name, OS, System Manufacturer , System Product, System Version, System Serial Number, System Type, BIOS Date, Location.

We use Spiceworks for this but detection is random on some computers.
As we use FOG on nearly all the computers, it would avoid getting twice the hardware.

@Jbob We use adminfog.

@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.

@Jbob I will look stupid but how update it ? It’s directly in SVN ?

edit : It seems to be… lol

* Downloading inits, kernels, and the fog client..............

Task is still here.

Hello,
I have disabled shutdown for a computer but it keeps to shutdown.
In log it’s right detected

I don’t have this morning logs of FOG log about this shutdown at this time.

My script launch edition didn’t solved the problem.
I try again with fog service disabled.

I have called for help from a old fellow worker.
He as said to try to replace the “timeout” command by a “ping 127.0.0.1”.
But, I think i have find a way to avoid this reboot during the script process.
I call my script in the unattend.xml like this “cmd /c start /wait Myscript.cmd”.
I wasn’t on site and I wanted to test it in the same condition (with the same fog server) in case it’s the fog client that makes this unwanted reboot (it’s Tom Elliott only idea to my problem).
I run few last test today and i keep you update.

Is the fog client use this exe to reboot the computer ?

Thomas use kinda the same script without problem but disable the fog service and that the only thing that I see that could explain a reboot.
Yet, i don’t see what a simple “pause” can change from a “timeout” to avoid this reboot.

I’ll test again with fog service disabled or the client remove to find if it comes from the fog client.
I can also try with a fresh OS install in case Windows Update did something.

Since I don’t know what trigger this reboot, I don’t even know where to start to dodge this reboot.
I don’t know if there is other way to run a script after a sysprep.
I only know with the setupcomplete.cmd or adding call of commands in the unattend.xml.
