Tom,
I have Ubuntu 16.04 and Fog 1.5.6. It is working great. We have about 20 Dell all in one 7760 PC. I was able to register and re-image 2 PC for the testing purpose. Fog is working great. Can I deploy image I created with 7760 All in One PC to another Optiplex 9020 64 bits PC?
Thank you,
Olduser
Sebastian,
I was able to Register Windows10 Host and it is working. What a fantastic jobs, all of you people are doing.
Thank you for all your hard work.
Olduser.
Sebastian,
Fog was upgraded and it is working now. Thanks, for the help.
Olduser
Sebastian,
I already upgraded Ubuntu 16.04 and trying to update FOG from 1.3.0 to 1.5.6 as per WIKI Upgrading to trunk. I used SVN to upgrade from fog 32 to 1.30 via SVN but can’t remember how I did it?
Install GIT on Debian or Ubuntu
sudo -i
apt-get -y install git
Getting FOG
Now that GIT is installed, you should be able to clone the FOG repository. Generally we recommend to put the repository inside of /root but if you’ve done this sort of thing before, put it wherever you want. Here’s how we clone FOG:
sudo -i
cd /root
git clone https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject.git
cd fogproject
GIT is asking for username and password. So I did look in GIT manual. I then use git clone ssh:github.com/FOGProject/fogproject.git .
GIT display fogproject already exist, so I changed ‘fogproject’ to ‘fogproject156’ but it did not worked. I am lost. Can you help please?
Thanks,
Olduser
Sebastian,
Thank you for your reply. I am planning to upgrade FOG 1.5.5. Do you think I should upgrade Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.XX?
Thanks,
Olduser
We have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Fog 1.3.0 RC-37 SVN Revision: 6049. I am trying to setup Dell Optiplex 7760 all in One PC, windows 10 64 bits. I changed some BIOS setting in this PC and able to get PC to boot from NIC card. I received FOG menu and tried to register this HOST as “Perform Full Host Registration” from FOG menu. After few minutes, I got “Failed to get an IP via DHCP!” Tried on interfaces, Please check your network" message. After this message system rebooted. I am unable to register this host. I checked all BIOS menu and tried several different option but no luck. I will get same DHCP error. I checked all post since yesterday but unable to find answer. Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thank you,
Old user.
Tom,
Thank you very much for quick answer. Yes, I am aware of it. I can go in login History but I like to add this column in HM. Is it possible?
Thanks,
Olduser
All fog developers,
What a great jobs, you guys did! I am very happy with my FOG and teaching others on how to configure and use it. I have a more favor to ask. How do I add extra column on the Host Management Screen? or get username on this screen. I am using FOG 1.3.0 on Ubuntu 14.4. I need to add Username who logged in on the client machine.
Thanks,
Olduser
Tom & JJ,
Thank you for your help. I will make changes to batch script and add full path to networkdrive and modify my script as you both suggested. On last Friday before going home. I un-installed the FOG client on PC , re-installed it and my batch script was there. I waited for about 1/2 hours to see if this file gets deleted from C:\Program Files\FOG\temp folder but it was still there. I will follow your suggestions and let to you know.
Thanks,
Olduser
Tom,
I am also pasting fog log below:

Tom,
Thank You very much for reply. I am also trying to figure out why snapin will install the batch script sometimes and other time nothing happens. I see a message that "Test installed " on taskbar but when I go to C:\Program Files\FOG\tmp, it is empty. If I run script manually, it run without any problem. I see copy file in C:\Temp directory.
The batch script does this:
Thanks,
Olduser
Wayne,
I am selecting Batch Script Template when I created the snapin. I am still having problem. Sometime I see the file in fog path other time nothing there. There are no error in fog log.
I will try to deply snap in to another machine,see if there is any issue with this Dell Optiplex 790.
Thank you,
Old user
Wayne,
Sorry I was away for for few days. Again thank you for the assistant. I created snap in exactly in the picture above. I also created a share folder and it is shared with Anonymous login with read only access.Whenever I deploy it, the client machine display “test installed, Installation has finished and now ready for use”. When I go to C:\program Files\FOG\tmp folder , there is nothing there. I have attached my snap in screen shot. I am using fog 1.3.0- RC37 on Ubuntu 14.04. I am not sure why sometime C:\program Files\FOG\tmp folder will display test file but another time it does not.
Is there anyway I can execute a batch from FOG snap argument.? I have batch file which copies 2 files from network drive to user’s local pc in FOG_PATH (c:\progra Files\FOG\tmp). The snapin works fine. I can verify that the fog snap creates test file in fog path. I have to manually double click this file in order for batch file to execute and copy 2 files. I am trying to avoid user double clicking and running this file. I tested the batch file and it works.
How can I run this batch file without double clicking it? Can I type any snapin run argument which will run this batch files? I have FOG 1.3.0 RC-37 on Ubuntu 14.04.
Thanks,
Olduser
Joe-Schmitt & Wayne
Thank you for the replay. I did not know that batch script file gets deleted. Just few more questions.
(1) Do I have to select ‘Reset Encryption Data’ on host because once I reset encryption data, the snapin works quickly.
(2) Can I combine ‘/i and /c’ for Snapin Run With Argument? I am using Normal Snapin.
(3) What arguments should be for ‘Snapin Arguments’? I put /qn. Is this correct? I could not find these arguments value.
Thanks,
Oldusers
Wayne & Joe,
I tried this snap in again with “Snapin Run With Argument”=/i instead of default /c . I saw the file was uploaded.
Thanks,
Olduser
Wayne & Joe,
I have shared my batch script with Anonymous & Everyone users with read only access. This is how I did it. I went Admin Tools–>Computer Management -->Share Folder and created new share and added Anonymous & Everyone with Read access for this batch file. Once I submit the snapin client computer displayed “Testsnap Installed and installation has finished and now is ready for use”. But I went to C:\Program Files\FOG\tmp folder no files listed. I searched it on C drive for that folder but nothing was found. I have attached screenshot for File sharing. I checked the FOG log. Snapin client there were no error. .
Thanks,
olduser
Joe,
I gave ‘anonymous’ logon’ access to read & write on this file. I was able to see this file in ‘C:\Program Files\FOG\tmp’ folder but not now. I am not sure if this permission is correct or not. I have attached screen shot of security tab.
Joe& TOm,
As you can see, snapin occured but I donot see the file.
Joe & Tom,
Thank you for your reply. OK. I changed my snapin as you suggested but my script file did not show up under C:\Program file\FOG\tmp folder. I re-image this dell790 and tried snapin again. This time script file was listed in C:\Program file\FOG\tmp folder. Then I realized I made some mistake in batch file and corrected batch file and tried to snapin again but this time script was not listed under C:\Program file\FOG\tmp. Active tasks had nothing in it. The client machine had a message “Installing copyuap/bat file” Do not shutdown this computer " I “reset Encryption Data” before snap, still I do not see the file. Snapin currently showing ‘Checked in’. I waited almost 15 minutes still no luck.
