@Tom-Elliott
This bar is missing in multicast Task

@Tom-Elliott
I was for a coffy - when I came back …

@Tom-Elliott

yes - you are right …

@Tom-Elliott
clonzilla started
Gained “root” privileges using sudo su
Ran lsblk -pdno => BNE7N774610407R40 identified as the system disk.

Entered into the FOG GUI

An attempt to clone the device results in the following error

Even deleting the PC from the database and adding it again did not solve the problem.
I’m not in the office right now or tomorrow, so I won’t be able to check the debug mode until Monday.
So far, this has happened with exactly one PC (I haven’t tried cloning the other 38 PCs yet). I followed the exact same procedure for the 23 devices I’ve already cloned, and everything works fine on those. This error has only occurred with PC115CAD so far.

@Tom-Elliott
no the difference is not one hour - it is something in between

@kratkale one special problem

This host is not willing to work witch the host Device entry BNE7N774610407R40 - I removed the host - performed a Full registration - filled out the host Device - same problem again.
Double check the blkid value … ???

@Tom-Elliott
cloning stops with an error - but the new image is working on the pc’s

it seems some problem with the Database.
Same situation with the next Group of 5 PC

@Tom-Elliott
next test …

5 PC in multicast

I’m missing the status om much percentage is cloned …

@Tom-Elliott

multicast wit 22 PC

one show 12 Host in tasking
the other 22

22 are waiting - but the do not start?

in the Task Management Active Tasks are all “In-Progress”

@Tom-Elliott
cloned again
during cloning the Reset Encryption Data done
joining domain worked

Intresting: have a look at time in the maria database and the system time …

@Tom-Elliott

did not help …

still aktive snapin - did not join the domain

next step to remove the client and reinstall.

I think with the next image I’ll try to install the client after cloning

@kratkale
Renaming and Joining the domain as local PC admin localy worked with

Aktuellen Computernamen holen

$currentName = $env:COMPUTERNAME

IPv4-Adresse ermitteln, bei der das 3. Oktett = 0 ist

$ip = Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4 |
Where-Object {
$.IPAddress -notlike “127.*” -and
$.PrefixOrigin -ne “WellKnown” -and
($_.IPAddress.Split(‘.’)[2] -eq ‘0’)
} |
Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty IPAddress

if (-not $ip) {
Write-Host “Keine gültige IPv4-Adresse mit drittem Oktett = 0 gefunden!” -ForegroundColor Red
exit
}

Letztes Oktett extrahieren

$lastOctet = $ip.Split(‘.’)[-1]

Dreistellig formatieren

$number = “{0:D3}” -f [int]$lastOctet

Neuer Name

$newName = “PC${number}CAD”

Anzeige

Write-Host “Aktueller Name: $currentName”
Write-Host “Gefundene IP: $ip”
Write-Host “Neuer Name: $newName”
Write-Host “”

$domain = “MM.HTLWIEN10.AT”
$username = “MM.HTLWIEN10.AT\adminfog”
$password = “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username, $password)

Add-Computer -DomainName $domain -Credential $credential -Restart

so there seems to be no problem with the domain …

@Tom-Elliott
multicast with 5 PC worked
joining Domain did not work with 4 PC one was joining:
Here relevant parts of the log?!

@Tom-Elliott

Here we go …

You just saved my life—I was really about to give up on everything before that…

I’m going to start testing the system now. I find the hourglass a bit odd.
Are there any test tasks?

@Tom-Elliott
here is a mistake …

I change and check it then tomorrow …

@Tom-Elliott

@Tom-Elliott
Test from the Client PC102CAD:
Could the Key be the problem?

I can download as user fogproject with winscp the file …

@Tom-Elliott
winscp works …
I changed the password:

1. root@fog:~# passwd fogproject
2. mysql in the table globalSettings and globalSettings

still the same problem

@Tom-Elliott
do you mean here:

this did not help - same error
