      The image transfer is complete!

      I had to touch the .mntcheck file to the /images and /images/dev directory. But other than that, I’m up and rolling again! Woo Whooo!

      I can’t wait to start fresh with Debian and clean up my server a bit. That’ll be next month’s project!!

      Thanks everyone who’s contributed!! I appreciate all the advice! 😄

      Well it does appear that it finished… I just didn’t see the play by play like the full wipe… SO that’s my fault!!

      Feel free to close this ticket! Thanks!

      @Joe-Gill look in the .fogsettings file and see if there is a password set for the mysql one.

      @Wayne-Workman I suspect this problem happens during “reinstall”.

      @george1421

      Thanks! I managed to get a script made to run in powershell that will install the fog service correctly. I ended up having to download the original file from the server and using that. The MSI file that I created was bombing for some reason. Either way I’m glad I got it working!

      Now my next question is does anyone have any good wiki’s on how to run a powershell script in GPO on a group basis not a login script? I’m new to this stuff so any ideas are helpful! Thanks!

      Cheers!

      Hi,

      i hardly recommend PDQ Deploy for easy deployments if you hate GPO’s 😉
      Also the way with ORCA is possible but for what you have a switches for cli.

      alt text

      I have it licensed to pro mode but simple deployments can also be done in free mode.
      PDQ Deploy is very powerful, take a look 🙂

      PDQ has AD integration and can also suck hosts from Spiceworks.

      Regards X23

      I just checked on the server and it is…

      Running Version 1.3.4
      SVN Revision: 6066

      I used SVN to update my server… What was posted was from one of the FOG clients FOG.log files.

      Note 2:

      The only reason why I had a swap partition I believe was because initially I added a new drive to my VM and initially moved all my images over to that drive… I ended up transferring my images back to the original drive and removing the second drive all together. Despite removing the drive the Swap remained.

      It’s not required, it’s optional.

      You will find the printer helper program that Joe made quite useful.
      Basically, manually install the printer, then fire up the helper program, it will give you the values to use in the FOG web UI.

      If you have issues getting the printer to deploy, you can plug these values into the helper’s Add Printer section and if somethings wrong it’ll give you an error about it. Download the latest version of it from here:
      https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases

      I want to make a video all about it, but I don’t have a network printer at home. 😞
      Anyone want to donate an old network printer?

      @Wayne-Workman said in FOG Client Service Updater:

      If you go the PDQ route, be sure to include some way to first remove the legacy client. If it’s still there, the new client will not install.

      Following Wayne’s instructions then you should create a batch script and deploy that with PDQ Deploy.

      In that batch script you will issue the FOG client uninstall command

      @echo off msiexe /X <guid of fog client> REM then install the new FOG client with msiexec /i fogclient.msi <what ever option switches>

      @Joe-Gill Honestly this is usually the case with the “love / hate” relationship that so many people on the internet have with FOG. I’m not saying you’re not good at this, you are and are a valued community member. But people will often simply do something wrong and blame fog, or they just don’t understand how things function and when it doesn’t work, they blame fog. I have the feeling that these people have these sorts of issues with non-fog things too.

      I do my best to keep the wiki updated, and clear. It’s kind of this huge monster with all these old pages that I have no idea what to do with besides to just make notes about them being old or what version they apply to. On one hand, I’d like to just wipe the slate clean, but on the other hand the older pages have value and do help in some capacity sometimes.

      But, the more people we have here on the forums that will help, the better. The more people that are willing to write good documentation, the better. The more people willing to make video tutorials, the better. We just need more willing people - to really push out tutorials and documentation and help. Because simple things like what you found you did today - that ruins some people’s attitudes towards fog, and that’s a shame. And if everyone that had issues asked here, we may not have enough time to answer them all. This summer was especially difficult on the forums, with upwards of 70 new posts daily. The forums is getting very close to one-million views a month… And that’s simply because FOG is growing in popularity because it’s a superior project and open-source. It’s time it also grew in community volunteers as well.

      @Joe-Gill Was it imaging from the main server or a node?

      @Joe-Gill said in AD Re-Join?:

      Basically it’s caused by NOT sysprepping machines. Hence the reason you’ve never seen it before… This lab was NOT sysprepped… Ugh!!

      We don’t sysprep. 4,500+ machines.

      Sounds like the image isn’t clean, to me.

      When I make images - they absolutely never are allowed to be on the domain. If they accidentally get put on the domain by fog or us - we start over. Our images are absolutely clean. We always start with a clean slate.

      The issue could also be that - your image was joined to the domain during capture.

      Windows 7 Pro. I didn’t intend to use legacy client in that lab. It happened to be one I completed earlier in the Summer.

      Is their an easy way to upgrade the client on those machines?
