I keep seeing on Spiceworks about FOG being dead. It really bothers me as I see Tom doing a ton of work daily to make this comm unity a really good place. Small yes but good none the less. If anyone here uses spiceworks try to promote this a little bit more as I love this product and don’t want people to “slander it” as I have been seeing.
Slander is a strong word for it but misinformation is just what is happening. and it erks me.
That did it, you know your the man right? Just needed to make sure you knew.
Make sure I am reading this right, I am to download a different kernel to add to my repository and then set the machien to use that one correct?
Thank you kind sir for the quick answer.
I am able to get it to boot to the PXE loader without issue, I can get the menu but cannot register form there (Continual errors) So as a backup I get the MAC and manually register the host in FOG without issue as always. Once I have it registered I being a hardware inventory task.
Once the tasks starts if just keeps scrolling one line at a time forever.
FOG system Specs:
FOG 0.32
Elitebook Revolve 810
Windows 7 Pro 64bit (Never gets this far to image it)
Using docking station to boot to network and inventory
Using Kitchensink kernel for this laptop rather than stock.
I would need a FOG.log form one of the clients that has been re-imaged and didn’t join domain it should clearly say why it didn’t join in there.

Never mind I found it with the help of out application team. If any one wants to knwo how to do this here is the code I am using to output the date the day it is checked out and some other parts that I changed to make the report the way I wanted it:
Hello,
As always great product which keeps me fro going insane on a daily basis. What OI would like to know is on teh Equipment Loan report. I am able to change most things to what I want such as the following has been changed to suit my needs:
Serial Number / Service Tag has been changed to Asset Tag / Computer Name and these autofill with the DB data.
What I am trying to do now is change the Date of Checkout Field to autopopulate with the current date. Not quite sure what the code would be for this since I am really not a webdesigner nor programmer.
Any help would be great here is the code that I am trying to change:
$report->appendHTML( “<h4><u>”.(“Computer Information”).“</u></h4>” );
$report->appendHTML( “<h4><b>”.(“Serial Number / Equip Name”).“: </b><u>” . $ar[“iSysserial”] . " / " . $ar[“hostName”] . “</u></h4>" );
$report->appendHTML( “<h4><b>”.(“Barcode Numbers”).“: </b><u>” . $ar[“iOtherTag”] . "</u></h4>" );
$report->appendHTML( “<h4><b>”.(“Date of Checkout”).": </b>_________________________________________</h4>” );
After “Date of Checkout” I was hoping I could use something like this :
[FONT=courier new][COLOR=#444444]date([/COLOR][/FONT][I][FONT=courier new][COLOR=#444444]format[/COLOR][/FONT][/I][FONT=courier new][COLOR=#444444],[/COLOR][/FONT][I][FONT=courier new][COLOR=#444444]timestamp[/COLOR][/FONT][/I][FONT=courier new][COLOR=#444444]) [/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=courier new][COLOR=#444444]Keep in mind I am guessing here and dont know what I am doing.[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=courier new][COLOR=#444444]Again any help would be awesome.[/COLOR][/FONT]

Scroll down and move past the SAD instructions.
[quote=“pt72, post: 9224, member: 2736”]You can use a normal MS install DVD and use the OEM method of activation, provided the activation is based on the SLP information in the bios. While not complicated, it is a little more work than a post in a forum. Take a look at [url]http://reboot.pro/16578/[/url] for information on how to do this. If you have the original rescue image (DVD or on the hard disk), you can extract the Digital OEM Certificate from the OEM directory (usually in Windows/system32/OEM) of that image.
As another poster points out, this is unlikely to work in a VM due to the bios being part of the activation process. With lots of research, you may be able to work around it.[/quote]
The activation works fine when going over to a real machine. Since the rearm is in place inside of the unattend.xml it resets the activation on load and thus letting it look at the BIOS again to let ti auto activate.
