Hi all,
I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions of how to set up a FOG server that will meet our setup needs. We have a VLAN that is set up with a Virtual FOG 1.3.0 server on it that is going to be dedicated to just imagine our rental computers for our clients. The workflow is;
*Client rents computer
*General staff(Non-IT) goes to storage where the computer is and grabs it off a dock, where it is hard lined into our VLAN that has DHCP reservations for each computer. Once it is undocked it is then automatically connected to the guest net and is unreachable through our internal IT network(for security reasons we have PCI in this location)
*Delivers to client who will have full admin access on computer
*Staff Retrieves from client after allotted time, usually several days, and places on the dock
*Staff restarts computer that is set to boot to 1)NIC 2)Internal HDD
This is where the problem arises, I need a task in FOG that is persistently waiting for that action to occur. With Cron scheduling, the task will be created every night the computer is not on the network and the tasks will build. Also, if the computer is rented in the morning, docked, and then rented in the evening before the Cron task is scheduled it will not be imaged on the dock. any help is appreciated, we are not against a different software solution for this task, but we have FOG already and like its reliability.
