@Sebastian-Roth I would like to thank Sebastian for his time in helping me diagnose this issue. We spent a substantial amount of time working through the issue and I learned a lot through the process! We are working through uploading images for these two machines as I type and all appears to be going well now that I’m on the Trunk version.

That was it. Same headache as this OP: Point #3. Registering and uploading!

RE: Unable to register and inventory new Dell PCs
@Wayne-Workman Agreed, but what’s not clear is that the default password in this field is not actually my password, encrypted. The management password needs to be in this field in clear text. The same applies to other config sections on the management web interface. I should have just tried it earlier.

RE: Unable to register and inventory new Dell PCs
I think my issue is in Storage Node / DefaultMember / Management Password. I updated that to match all other configs and now I get actual log choices. Trying to upload now.

@Wayne-Workman There’s nothing to expand. Below the pause button it says ‘invalid folder’ and nothing else.

RE: Unable to register and inventory new Dell PCs
@Wayne-Workman Interesting. Navigating to fog Configuration / Log Viewer straight away says there’s an error with the Fog “ftp_login(): Login incorrect.”
In my Fog Configuration / TFTP Server, the username and password are correct, as are the fog config files on the server.

@Wayne-Workman Logging in to ftp://<IP> works fine, I can read and write. Do I need to test at the specific image directory?

RE: Unable to register and inventory new Dell PCs
I’m getting the Trunk-specific database error when uploading an image (same as referenced in the WIKI here. I’ve checked all four locations for the correct username/password combination and it’s correct. I’ve checked the filesystem of the new FOG server that Sebastian walked me through, and it’s the correct EXT4. Username ‘Root’ has seems to have the proper system access to the image directory that it needs based on the result of the ls -laR /images command.

@george1421 OK - I have to deploy these laptops this week but I will try to hold one back for now.
