We will be starting to image macs at our district soon and would like to learn more.

It is a physical box and I am running the GUI. What do you mean by using the sleep command and restarting the tftp server?

I am not that familiar with linux to run a Server release.

I am thinking about upgrading Ubuntu. The Wiki explains upgrading Fog. I am confused.

If everything works properly now why would I need to update at all?

I have FOG installed on ubuntu 11.10 which is no longer supported by linux. No security updates, etc.

Can I upgrade my ubuntu version without breaking FOG? Which distribution would you suggest?

Most of my snap-ins were made with InstallRite and are uploaded to FOG as executables. I have two servers which are identical and setting are similar except for the IPs. Snap-ins work in one but not the other…

Flushing the dns had no effect on it. I still get the snapin file shows zero size and can not be downloaded

I am not having any issues with the hostname change or adding it to the domain. The only problem is with snapins pushing out. Fog will indicate that it is in progress but nothing happens on the client end. See attachment for Fog log.

Yes, changed the IP address but did not flushdns. How do i flush the dns?

Part of the fog log shows this:
12/18/2012 1:45 PM FOG::SnapinClient Starting FOG Snapin Download
12/18/2012 1:45 PM FOG::SnapinClient Download Failed; Zero size file.

Snapins used to work on our fog server until we moved it to a new vlan. Now they don’t work at all. The IP’s were changed where needed but it does not seem to help.

3. Store your images on a seperate NFS server that has more space than your fog server.
4. Store individual images on seperate disks/NFS servers, and mount them into the /images/[imagename]

I think this what I am asking, I just don’t know how to get there. How do you create a separate NFS server?

It looks like the InstallRite website is completely shut down. My problem with SFX is creating answer files to make the deployment unattended. I just wish it was user friendly.

My default storage (500GB) is rapidly filling up and I would like to add another drive for additional storage. How difficult is that and could someone give me advice on how to accomplish that?

Their server went down at one time and the forum was never rebuilt. That was the message I got the last time I tried to access it.

Yes, I have tried and they do not have one. They have not rebuilt the one they had originally.

I am using software call InstallRite to create snapins. I am getting an error message now at the end of making an Install Kit that says; Whoops, no ENDMAGIC found.

This totally messes up the install kit and leaves it unusable.

I have several images created and saved. This summer I want to update the images with the latest windows updates, etc. Can I just upload the updated image to fog and overwrite the existing one or will they have to be uploaded as a new image and the older one deleted?

Will there be any FOG training available this year? I know they had some last year

Fog .32 is up and running. Very nice interface.

Now I am waiting for .33 to come out.

Seems like the Google Toolbar is causing issues with Internet Explorer. Disabling the toolbar has improved things.
