Hi @Tom-Elliott

here’s the image i was trying to deploy, I managed to deploy this same image when the server was running 1.3.0 RC-14

Nothing has changed at all.

Server

• FOG Version: 1.3.0-RC-24
• OS: Ubuntu 14.4

Client

• Service Version: Latest
• OS: WIndows

Description

Unable to deploy image, fog thinks the deployment went well and it took 4 seconds to complete. It didnt go through partclone page as it would normally.

Please help!

@Joe-Schmitt

Mono version

When i tried running mono to install smartclient.exe

@Tom-Elliott there isnt a folder called “share”

@Tom-Elliott Hi Tom,
It listed different folder but none of them is .mono

@Tom-Elliott I did use elevated access as root.

As mentioned, the hidden folder .mono is simply not there.

@Wayne-Workman Hi Wayne

Sorry for late reply, yes I installed the latest mono as described in the guide.

Server

• FOG Version: 1.3.0 RC14
• OS: Ubuntu 14 LTS

Client

• Service Version: SmartInstaller.exe
• OS: Sierra

Description

Unable to install smartinstaller.exe to MacBook Pro running Sierra. I followed the guide using Mono.

Any ideas? I checked /usr/share/.mono but there is no folder called .mono

Thanks

@Wayne-Workman absolutely weird.
I used the same technique with snap in pack on different folder and it worked without issue in the past. Only this time around with system32 folder.

I even tried with xcopy!

Anyway, thanks for your help, appreciate it and I will check further to see if AV is a culprit here.

Cheers

@Wayne-Workman Hi Wayne
i did the additional command to enable log file.
It created the log file but it’s blank, im not sure why!

But still no good. im puzzled!

@Joe-Schmitt Hi Joe

It is not the only file, it has a GPO folder in it. Otherwise it will be nice and easy

@Wayne-Workman Hi Wayne

I had the fog client installed on a separate partition with drive letter F:/ this is also the same with the rest 20 machines. So the path on the zip file is correct. I have deployed a single config file for another program and they worked brilliantly.

Thats why it is F:\fog\tmp\XXXXX instead of the program default c:\programfiles (x86)

I will try again with the addition of log file recording and will post back the result.

Thanks

@Wayne-Workman Hi Wayne
Sorry for not explicitly mentioning a snapin pack (i did mention in on my first post, should’ve done the same with the post title). my apology

Here’s the whole zip - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8LqOYqjfRvrNThaUW0tZG9pZzg

Appreciate for helping out

@Wayne-Workman

Here’s the powershell file - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8LqOYqjfRvrb3pvU2phUjBwS1k

Thanks

@Wayne-Workman Hi Wayne

I tried to export the log file with this command

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "[FOG_SNAPIN_PATH]\chromepolicy.ps1" >> c:\temp\log.txt chromepolicyPS.zip 

It doesnt even create a log file, Snapin downloaded and vanished in an instant.

I noticed the GroupPolicyUsers folder is hidden and read only (not sure if that makes any difference)

When I execute the powershell script locally and manually on the destination computer, it worked without any issue.

Hi All

I am trying to manage Google Chrome ADM gpo via Powershell via Snapin pack to 20+ standalone computers. I tried copying the file manually and it worked (meaning it updated the Google Chrome ADM with latest policy after restart)

I have trouble coping the files from F:\fog\tmp\GroupPolicyUsers\ to C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicyUsers\

Here’s my powershell script

Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
Copy-Item -Path F:\fog\tmp\ILC-Student-ChromePolicy-UpdatePS\GroupPolicyUsers\S-1-5-21-2027881915-267544310-2063179327-1017 C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicyUsers -Recurse -Force

I added Start-Sleep -Seconds 10 to ensure the files have fully transferred before fogclient auto clean it.
Then tells it to copy the folders to C:\windows\system32\GroupPolicyUsers

Fog server successfully deploy the snapin and I can see the folder created in tmp folder, but It doesnt work!

However, if I changed the script destination outside system32, lets say C:\temp. It worked!

Is it permission issue? I believe fog client should have the right permission to do it right?

Hope that make sense.

Thanks

@Wayne-Workman
i had the usb dongle connected via USB 3.0 port replicator and this replicator connected to the only USB port in Surface pro 4.

@Wayne-Workman

Here you go, hope that helps in anyway.
