Sorry I posted the wrong link to the BIOS Version but I did flash the BIOS on the system and upgrade to 1.5.2. Still did not resolve the issue.

@george1421 said in Dell Optiplex 7050's:

tried to place a dumb (unmanged) switch between your building switch and your 7050 computers on a consistent basis? Does this magically address your issues? There has to be something unique with either the 7050s or your networking infrastructure.

Updating the BIOS now.

Bios Version 1.4.4
Processor: 4 Coures Intel Core i5

Here are also screenshots of the BIOS.

Okay thanks guys I will do this tomorrow and post a screenshot of this page. Is there any other information you need from me?

registered correctly. The only exception here is that the model we are purchasing still has the 6th generation CPU (skylake) processors installed. Let me boot it and see what nic is installed.

So in response to the other form you would like to know what generation CPU the 7050 has?

Hi guys I am having trouble preforming a “Full Host Registration and Inventory” on a Dell Optiplex 7050. I though this was a Spanning Tree setting issue on the switch but this option seems to be enabled. Not sure why I’m having this issue. I can push an image to any other model computer just seems to be an issue with this model.

@Tom-Elliott if you have anytime today or even next week to take a look I would really appreciate it. Thanks for all you do.

@Wayne-Workman sorry if it’s not the way to treat an open source community. I’ve been dealing with this issue for two days now and haven’t been able to solve it. Just trying to get some insight or ideas from anyone who is willing to help. I appreciate all you guy do on here. If this post is not allowed feel free to take it down.

I need someone to remote into my machine and take a look at what’s going on. No one can figure out my issue. Please help

@Wayne-Workman Will this erase any data that is already in FOG ? Such as the custom pxe boot template I have uploaded, hosts, and even snapins?

@tom-elliott @George76 any ideas?

Running this command to disable the firewall did not solve the issue.

I will try this command tomorrow when I’m back in the office thank you so much !

So what am I looking for within the firewall settings of the Linux server? It’s running on Kububtu. Is there a specific setting you remember that needs to be turned on or off ?? Thanks !

Hi guys,

So our security administrator was looking at some of the settings of the host that has the VM of my FOG server. He says he didint make any changes, just viewed some data. Ever since he “viewed some data” I haven’t been able to deploy an image… I tried restarting all the FOG services and the machine it’s self. Nothing seems to be working. Can access the FOG Web GUI, and the Pxe boot screen comes up. Just unable to deploy an image. I’ll add an image of where it seems to be hanging. Any ideas ??

Okay so the image I created with sysprep seems to work with the FOG Client Service but if I use that same image and tell it to join to the domain after the task has been complete it gets stuck in the reboot loop. Even after disconnecting it from the network it get’s stuck in this loop. I’m assuming this loop has something to do with the FOG Service and sysprep as this seems to be the common denominator. I have already followed the Wiki Instructions and disable the FOG Service and placed the .cmd file to start the service back up. Any ideas? Thanks for all your help!

Awesome ! I’ll have to try moving the XML file Monday as of now the image I uploaded with disabling the FOG service and creating the cmd script as found in the Wiki worked. So if I deploy to it using FOG it works fine. The only way it gets stuck in a reboot loop now is if I tell it to join to the domain after the task has been complete in the AD settings. If this is checked it gets stuck in the loop. There’s definitely some kind of conflict between FOG and Sysprep when booting the machine up.

Okay I’ll do this Monday morning. Thx!

I’ve followed those instructions, disabled the service and placed the .cmd txt file in the folder stated.

I’m not in the office right now I’ll be back Monday but just to keep you guys updated since you’ve been so helpful. There’s nothing Non-Standard about the computer. It’s just a regular Dell Optiplex 7040. I’ve bern able to successfuly deploy images in the past that weren’t Syspreped but I’m trying to upload one that is. So before I left I was reading an article on here that if you’re sysprepping a machine you have to disable the FOG client at start up and then place a .cmd script in a folder under C > System so I did this and was able to successfully upload and deploy an image to a machine. The only isssue I’m having now is if I deploy an image and i tell it to join to the domain using the AD credentials after the task it gets stuck in the “loop” reboot and won’t stop resetting. So there’s defiantly something I’m still doing wrong… I only have this down half right with the Sysprep image lol. Any ideas ? (I know this is a lot to take in please let me know if something is confusing or you don’t understand, and thanks for all your help!)
