[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 34745, member: 21583”]exactly what did you import from the old server, and how?[/quote]
Hi Junkhacker
on old fog server
mysqldump -u root fog > /home/aaa/fog032.sql
On new 1.2.0
mysql -u root fog < /home/aaa/fog032.sql
During login database schame was updated without errors.
Then I add all machines to group and enabled service settings.
And also copied snapins from old to new server to location /opt/fog/snapins/
Regards.
Hello,
This is my story:
fog 1.2.0, system ubuntu 13.10,
fog fresh install and imported database, snapins from fog 0.32
New fog server (1.2.0) for tests is running on different ip address the old one (0.32)
When I’m trying send few snapins to client I receive error message [ATTACH=full]1250[/ATTACH]
if I try send just one snapin it goes almost fine[ATTACH=full]1251[/ATTACH]
but nothing happened. Snapin hangs in the queue.
Here are service settings for client, the same are globaly set for fog server.[ATTACH=full]1252[/ATTACH]
Client connects to new fog (1.2.0), here log:
[ATTACH=full]1253[/ATTACH]
To solve this issue I have to remove client from database and add him again, but this solution is time and work consuming.
Help appreciated 
Regards.

[quote=“Jbob, post: 34657, member: 21733”]Can confirm that the snapin client does [B]not[/B] expand system variables. Adding this feature to my todo list with high priority. The reason is that the snapin client uses:
[code]p.StartInfo.FileName = strRunWith;[/code]
instead of
[code]p.StartInfo.FileName = Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables(strRunWith);[/code]
In the mean time you may just set the “Snapin Run With” to msiexec.exe, this will automatically find the file if it has been added to the system path, which windows does by default.[/quote]
Simple solution - best solution.
Thanks for all for your interest.
I used just msiexec.exe in “Snapin run with” and package was smoothly installed.
Thanks Jbob

Hello Junkhacker,
it did’nt solve my problem. I still receive error: “Unable to find the specified file”

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 34510, member: 7271”]I think you’d want to use:
%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe
As wouldn’t systemroot return as the drive letter?[/quote]
Hello Tom,
Thank you for your answer.
I’m running Fog version 1.2.0, os Ubuntu 13.10
Client os winxp.
%systemdrive% return drive letter
Variable %systemroot% and %windir% return the same value in my case c:\windows
In snapin configuration I’ve changed to %windir% but no luck, error: Unable to find the specified file.
Regards
Hello,
I’m trying use windows system variable %systemroot% during creating snapins, adding msi file in field “Snapin Run With” [ATTACH=full]1243[/ATTACH]
In client log file I receive error “Unable to find the specified file”
When I set path c:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe it works fine, but sometimes system is located on different drive then c or not in windows folder.
Any solution?

SNP,
you are correct, in Win7 adding printer from FOG works, but in my tests printer shows in control panel after system reboot only if drivers are locate on local drive.

Port is installed but printer and drivers didnt show after system reboot
Share your experience.
Chad-bisd,
according to microsoft it is “local printer” but port indicate printer ip address. It’s similiar when you create new local printer in xp, you can also create port (Standard TCP/IP port). In FOG choosing network printer I could’nt choose IP printer port just network share.
Fernando,
just like I thought FOG created printer port (IP_aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa) on host but did’nt add printer drivers from specified location (here local drive c:\hpljp2015dn\hppcp604.inf). Log from FOG serviece:

Slowly I’m loosing faith in FOG printer management :(.
In next test I used HP LJ 2100 and drivers from c:\WINDOWS\inf\ntprint.inf. It’s also network printer. When printer was installed xp asked me about compatibility this drivers with xp system. I had to push it forward and drivers were installed but no printer in system. Here log:

BTW I’m testing this on virtual machine.
Fernando thanks for reply,
I think I tried this setting (IP_aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa) but it did’nt help. Tomorrow I’ll check and let you know.
Problem is that we don’t use AD.
Any news about resolving this issues in next version of FOG?
Welcome,
I searched resolution for my problem but without success, so I decided to describe my issues with fog and printer management.
I’m using fog 0.32 and want add printers to host. Most printers in my company are network devices.I create printer in fog according to this scenerio:
[ATTACH=full]191[/ATTACH]
Printer model is from inf file: HP LaserJet P2015 Series PCL 6
Printer Port is device ip address.
Print INF File: indicate network share where is located inf file here is: hppcp604.inf
It looks like that:
[ATTACH]191[/ATTACH]
[ATTACH]192[/ATTACH]
When printer is assigned to host (WinXP) fog service creates port but does’nt add printer drivers.
Logs from log file on host:
[CODE]2012-11-13 14:14 FOG::printerManager Management level = 1

Fog client tray is running on host.
Any help will be appriciaded.
