Yes that work around worked.

Hi, Guys

I’m getting the following errors when trying to update the MAC address.

The fog server doesn’t have direct connection to the internet so I’ve configured the proxy settings within fog, this seems to be working correctly, but when I go update the Mac address update menu it gives an error that it can not connect (See below) and throws an error on the webpage with Chrome:
“currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500”

I’m assuming this is because the request to update the mac address isn’t going through the proxy hence the errors.
Would this be a bug or something I may be doing wrong?

I’m testing this all on FOG 1.5.0-RC10 with Centos 7

Cheers,

Ahh my bad, the description was just blank as I was just testing the Menu.
I copied every other field but the description from my previous server. All good now cheers.
Sorry about that.

Yep just seeing this issue in Chrome with Windows 10.

Just snapped a screenshot of what I mean.

Cheers,

Hi, guys.

I’m not sure if this is a bug or something I haven’t setup correctly.
This is with Version 1.5-RC10 installed from GIT.

After creating a new iPXE menu entry called “fog.QuickSystemInfo”
On the fog boot up screen the new menu entry is there and working and you can select it but the text is hidden? or maybe the same colour as the background?

Cheers,

Ahh yep, if I edit the HTML and just remove:

id="advtext"

The text box re-appears, so yes I’m assuming it is related to the CSS?

Just FYI, I tested it with the latest Firefox and the text box is working. It only appears to be having an issue in Chrome for me.

Cheers,
Adam

Just noticed on my test server (Version 1.5.0-RC-10) that the text box is working with Internet Explorer 11 and Edge Browser but missing on the latest Chrome (Version 62.0.3202.94.) I haven’t been able to test with firefox yet sorry.

I’m not a web developer so I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking for with chrome inspect:

sorry, I wasn’t suggesting I wasn’t able to already do this. I am already managing fog printers in this fashion via groups created in fog, but I already allocate users into groups within AD based on location etc. So I am kind of doing this twice.

I was more thinking that if you have users already allocated in security groups already it would be handy to have a feature on a printer that the fog client automatically sees you as a member of “Admin” or “Finance” and allocates the correct printers without having to do this in two locations (AD and fog), as soon as the printers are configured and ready to go the fog client then knows who this gets deployed to via AD groups.

Anyway it was just a thought and figured I would throw this out there and I only mention it because products like Printer Logic can do this (obviously aimed at a different type of management)

Cheers!

Hi, Guys.

Just some thoughts here. It Would be great if the Windows FOG Client could deploy printers based on AD security groups.
That way you could have the entire management of printers/deployment managed from the web interface.
I’ve seen a few other printer management software do something similar.

Cheers,
Adam
