An update to this… I was able to use Orca and change the IP address in the MSI file to reflect our static IP of our server.

That went very smoothly so far. I’m copying my images directory over to my new sdb1 drive. So far so good.
@Developers I expected the Storage Node statistics on the Dashboard to update as soon as the new drive was mounted. Is their any particular reason it wouldn’t show up there? I’m not done copying my images directory from the original disk over to the new partition yet though and I haven’t adjusted things in fstab either…
Thanks!!
Cheers,

The resolution here was the following…
My image WAS corrupt. It DID image just fine with UniCast. I remade my image and all is happy. I also made an adjustment to the resize option on my image. I set it to be resizeable.
I’m all going good now. All is happy.
Just in time for my server upgrade!! I’ll be installing Debian here in the next couple days…
Cheers!!!

Very interesting! I will run those tests here later this morning. The images so far have worked with Multicasting also. I haven’t had any issues with loosing interactivity with my FOG interface either since I adjusted things.
Stay tuned. I’ll have some results to post here in about an hour or so.
So after much frustration, here is what I came up with!!
Set FOG to Only Assigned Printers…
Delete all current printers…
Set FOG to FOG Managed Printers…
Re-Add Printers…
Reboot PC.
Voila! The new driver is added and you’re good to go!!!
So FOG CAN do it.
For the amount of headache I just spent on trying to figure out GPO to enable scripting. Testing script and getting everything to work… The above is much simpler…
For what it’s worth… I did find a link to your script. You had given it to me once before also. LOL!

Thanks!
I will check it out for you. I hadn’t peered into the Windows logs yet. I believe all of the machines with this issue are Windows 10 Ver 1903. But I will get more details here for you directly. In fact I have an entire lab I haven’t manually started the FOG service yet on. I will go check this out now and see what I come up with. If I can’t find anything obvious, you can certainly set up a time to remote into one of the trouble PCs.
Also, I had noticed this randomly happen last year in other labs. It was so random though I figured something else happened or I had done something that caused the issue. This is too wide spread not to be me. LOL!
Thanks!
Yeah I would rather not re-build my DB from scratch if at all possible. I have fewer hosts now than when I started with FOG but it’s still a large number. I am in the process of setting up another FOG server to do a fresh install and go from there. I do need to clean some things up in there so it may be the time to do this. I did run through the Troubleshoot MySQL Database Maintenance Commands and didn’t get real far with it. I"ll look at that once more before I bite the bullet on starting over.
I’ll post back to the other thread I started. Hopefully I can figure something out without having to re-do the entire DB…
Thanks for all of your help! I know you guys put in a ton of time with FOG and it’s very appreciated!!
Cheers!

I just noticed something… While looking for log files again this morning… I had one machine that the service literally quit working yesterday… My event logs show events just AFTER the FOG service quit logging…
This machine is on Windows 10 1709 build 16299.15…
Guess what happened after that? Windows ran an update!
We do all of our updates from a Windows WSUS…
Hopefully this helps!!
Let me know how I can help. I have a lab that gets used very infrequently that I can test things on if need be. (Time permitting…) My time begins to get more free here in about a month or two and then gets more busy again in February. I’d be more than happy to help out the project!
