    • RE: Snapin run as a user instead of system

      Thanks for the feed back.

      The fonts we have are purchased. We only have licence for X number of machines. Thus Id like to assign the snapin to just those machines that need it. Its a elementary font, like with the dotted lines thru the big letters. Ill try your reg solution, as my vbscript doenst work as a snapin, but does work if launched as a user.

      As for the drivers, we have many many printers that are so old that the drivers are not Msoft signed, so unless the logged in user clicked the box to Ignore and install anyway, then the printer does not get pushed out. Fog does a good job of pushing out our printers that have newer windows signed drivers.

      Its not a severity. I ended up making a script/batch file that runs after a machine is imaged (via the login script) that only runs once and asks a bunch of questions and launches msi’s based on the yes answers. Just would be nice to be able to have fog snapins just for the specific msi’s that a machine needs. Its not critical. I would probably use snapins if i could interact with my workers once they image.

      I understand Fog is free. It IS amazing as it is.

      Thanks again for your input.

    • Snapin run as a user instead of system

      I need to install fonts. I need to install devices with unsigned drivers (old printers and such). To do this I need the snappin to run as the logged in user, not as system. System cant install fonts. System cannot click ok for an unsigned driver. All our users use the same Windows user, it would be great if i could do a :runas override so the tech imaging the machine would be there to interface with the snapin.
      You ask, why not just run an msi or bat file after the image as the user? Because I only need certian things on specific machines. Assigning the snapins via fog lets me control what file goes to what machine after image.

      To pay you or to run snapin as local user? Or both?

      i deleted the job and submitted a new one. That one seemed to go. Just seems unreliable at best.

      thanks. I dont mind paying for something if it makes our life easier.
      In fact I am working with my school to see how I can make a payment to FOG, since we cannot make a donation. Hopefully we can do that as soon as next school year.

    • Do snapins actually ever work?

      I hate to start another thread but for the love of <insert your deity> I have not gotten snapsins to do anything I want. Now for my latest issue.
      I manually deployed a snapin to my pc. Its show up in active task. The PC is just sitting there. Fog log shows…

      You can see where it doesnt have a job before I deploy it. But after it just doent do squat. If I stop and start the fog service, it deploys sometimes. Im at my wits end here…

      No domain. I just wish I could get fog to run a snapin as the logged in user. Would solve problems with some of my snapins that need user intervention. Not everything has a silent install.

      Thanks.
      I think its the problem again with fog doing things as system instead of as a user. I was trying to get my vbscript to install fonts. We have a program called fonts for teachers. If i have fog put a bat file in the windows startup folder, the fonts install fine on next boot. Guess that close but would like them to install strait from the snappin.

      returning 1 means errors.

      Check with something else, first. Like a batch file or an MSI. confirm tthe snapin feature is working for you, first.

      If it is, troubleshoot your vb-script.[/quote]

      I dont have AD, but i do have a question. Would fog still be able to install the printer given that the GPO would not let the logged in user install it?

      [quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 46820, member: 7271”]Just set the printer management to add only.[/quote]

      Cannot do that. Got some people bringing in printers that are not authorized. If they install a printer, in want it deleted.

    • Not delete a printer

      Is there a way , when choosing to have fog Add/Delete printer management to have it NOT delete a printer that it did not push out? We have some software installed printers (Smart, XPS, …etc) that I cannot push out via fog that are part of the image and I do not want them deleted.

    • RE: Smarte Notebook printer

      We put it on our images too. But if you choose Fog printer management to Add/Delete it deletes the Smart Printer. I either need to know how to push it out or how to keep from from deleting it.

    • Smarte Notebook printer

      I figured out how to push a PDF software printer via fog here…

      [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/adobe-or-cute-pdf-printer.11440/#post-46738[/url]

      Now I need to do this same thing for a Smart Notebook printer that comes via the SmartBoard software. I tried the same thing. The printer installs but gives me an error about the XPS file conversion failure when printing to it. Anyone pushed out this type of printer via FOG?

    • RE: Adobe or Cute PDF printer

      Just wanted to come back and post the solution…

      1. install the CutePDF (or any PDF software printer) as normal
      2. note the name of the port that was created by the install
      3. grab drives for any PS printer. I used HP Color LaserJet 3800 PS
      4. point the fog printer to that INF file and that port.

      Boom. PDF printer
