Hey, nevermind this!

I was looking in the wrong path for the MAC files. I found them, deleted them and all is well again. Delete this post, if you wish, Mods.

I pulled a new image and was getting ready to push it out when I discovered a problems with it. I went into FOG and deleted the group I had made along with all the registered hosts.

I corrected the problem and then when trying to register the PCs again get: ‘Unable to locate host in database, please ensure MAC address is correct’.

I went to /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg, but I don’t see anything in it.

I looked in the FOG Database with:

[INDENT=1]mysql -u root -p[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]use fog;[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]select * from hosts; [/INDENT]

but it comes up empty.

I don’t know where else to look. Where else does FOG keep MAC addresses? I can hook up other PCs and they will register fine, but these five won’t.

Any help is appreciated!

Nice, looks like it’s pushing the image back. I got a little worried there for a minute. Right before it started, it said something about an invalid command, but it went away quick and started to work.

I got it to go passed that error now. I am not sure what caused it. I am now working on this invalid partition table message. I’ve searched the forum and I am trying some of the things people have done to fix it now.

The pulling of the image works fine.

When I go to PXE boot to the client, It attempts to PXE and then I get an error of ‘No Operating System currently install on this computer.’

These machines are Dell 510. Do machines need at least a base OS on it for this to work? The servers have Windows 2008 R2 installed, but I haven’t taken it through the initial set up. Do I need to do that in order for the image to work?

UPDATE: I got it to attempt to image, but now it tells me that the partition table is invalid. I am doing a single partition, non-re-sizable.

Thanks!

Thank you! That fixed it!

Yes, I did that too. I made sure there was no instance of the client or the job through the web interface.

I am attempting to pull my first image.

So, I make the mistake of choosing the option to allow partition resizing. I didn’t mean to do it, but didn’t catch it and proceeded.

The client boots and attempts to start the image upload, but then gives me an error about resizing the partition. I shut the client down and go back to the server and delete all entries for the client. I restart the client to redo the inventory and add it back and this is where it keeps acting like it wants to upload the image and then error out about resizing the partition.

How can I get the client to go through the inventory again and stop it from trying to upload?

Thanks!
