If your not running SVN running fixparts on the pc before uploading may fix your issue.

This might fix the issue [url]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/118884/what-is-an-elegant-way-to-force-browsers-to-reload-cached-css-js-files[/url]

Try clearing your browser cache you often have these issues when upgrading fog but this is just a guess as I can’t load your screen shot from here.

Is it possible iptables are active?

This may be a stupid question but does Hyper V do any filtering or routing?

When FOG deploys an image it expects an existing partition even if its just blank but if your drives are presenting as unformated you will error out.

Hostname changer is quick it only needs to be up for a few mins before it renames itself and restarts itself again.

I thought SVN versions of fog were renaming windows image machines as the last step of the image deployment before they even reboot unless something about your partition scheme is freaking that step out. When a image completes do you see any error messages when it attempts to rename the machine.

Depending on your flavor of Linux there are several different ways to handle updates and installs for an air gaped server. Some examples here [url]http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/89152/ways-to-update-ubuntu-debian-based-distros-offline[/url]

Most of us have never seen this because having a host name with a space in it is against best practices under most OS’s.

The usual issues are the tech starting the task is not following thru and the machine is shutdown or an image is sent to a group and one of the machines has been removed or similar issues. Its just a basic housekeeping task because we have such a large site and a large number of admins using fog many of which aren’t under my control or very technically orientated.

Are any of the issues also encountered if I am often killing the old tasks in the web interface.

Would it be possible to have FOG automatically kill tasks and snapins that fail to complete after a set time limit say 24 hours by default.

What version of FOG and exactly which adapter are you using it seems that USB to Ethernet drivers are very hit or miss with the current kernels.

I believe its alphabetical what I did was prefix my snapins with a number to force an install order it also helped to put my commonly used snapins at the top of the list.

It should be possible to customize your fog to allow for this but its not settable in fog you would have to see how the web gui does it when you manually deploy an image and check the shutdown after task box.

If you need the profile data then you you will need an unattended file because the default is to not copy the data.

This may not fix it but have you cleared your browser cache since upgrading.

Or deploy your software and updates via snapins.

One other thing to check is what interface is it monitoring under storage on my system I use a bonded connection but the web gui defaults to eth0 and had to be set to bond0 in my case before monitoring would occur.
