Would like to use directory cleaner to keep the users folder empty for some of our computers in high traffic areas. My question is can you make an entry for a specific computer?

I am also interesting in this plugin but its not in my 1.2.0 install, where can I download that?

Thanks

Hello All, I am currently backing up our FOG data to a 2TB USB hard drive my question is can I still image computers while the backup is running? Also has anyone created a custom script that would show backup progress or show what image it’s currently backing up?

Thanks

Changing the FOG_PIGZ_COMP to 3 worked!! Thanks for your advise.

Sorry I didn’t include more details, most of our images were created when we were running 0.32 however we have a couple of new images that we are trying to use that we are experiencing slow transfer rates with. We are running Ubuntu 11, all of our cables do work and our network admin has checked the switches to make sure they are configured correctly. I have changed the FOG_PIGZ_COMP and I am attempting to image a computer now.

Thanks for your quick response!

I have recently upgraded from 0.32 to 1.2 and have noticed that the upload and download time is horrible. I used to be able to image computers in less than 10 mins and now it takes 45 to an hour and uploading takes between 2 and 3 hours. I have tried different kernels but no luck speeding up the process. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.

Thanks

You guys are AWESOME!!! Thanks for all your help, I just imaged the first computer since the upgrade and it went very smooth because of your help. I do have a question about the image screen, it shows up bright orange and green is there any way to revert it back to the blue and gray that was easier on the eyes? not a big deal if I can’t just thought I would ask.

Thanks

Sorry, I did clear the cache this morning and that fixed the problem thank you for helping and for creating an awesome program. I am now trying to image my first computer since the upgrade but I am getting an error that says “Invalid operating system id (0) Computer will reboot in 1 minute”

I upgraded our FOG server to 1.2.0, it seemed to go well but when I login to FOG I can’t search for my host but if I list all host all of them appear. Also if I look at the general settings of a host none of the Host Menu links on the left work. Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks

I haven’t run the installer yet, I wanted to be sure I could set it up the way I want it first. Should I be able to do it with the 1.2.0 installer version as well? Also do I need to drop the database before I run the installer?

I have FOG .32 running on Ubuntu 11.04 that has a 2TB raid to keep my images on. I would like to make that a storage node and attach it to a new server with updated OS and FOG.

Can I convert my existing FOG server to be a storage node and attach it to a VM running the latest Ubuntu version and latest FOG version?

I have FOG .32 on an old server with a 2TB storage raid to keep the images on. I would like to upgrade to a VM server but I need to keep that 2TB storage, can I convert my existing FOG server to a storage node and attach it to the new server running the latest version of FOG?

Thanks

Try following this FOG wiki article [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Change_NFS_location[/url]

Great! glad you got it fixed.

Ok. Even though you are wiping the computers make sure they have been deleted out of active directory before FOG tries to join them to the domain otherwise it won’t be able to join them.

The computer you created the image from, was it joined to the domain when you ran fogprep and pulled the image to the fog server? Also the computers you are trying to image, were they on the domain before you imaged them with windows 7 or are they brand new computers?

So its not changing the hostname or joining the domain? Does the fog service on the client have the correct ip or hostname for your fog server?

Is this log from the fog service on the client computer? And is the account your trying to use to join the domain setup so the password doesn’t expire? we have ours setup domain\user using a domain admin account with a password set to not expire.
