I am having the same issue. I already checked and my passwords are the same in both those places. We did change our DHCP server, but images come down fine so i think tftp 66 and 67 are set ok in it. Also I can ftp into the box using the credentials.

This doent install a printer that can save PDF files. I know how to install a regular printer. I found the inf file for Adobe and CutePDF but they need a special PDF saving port that is only installed via the software. I think I will need to make the software part of our image to get the port, and then use fog to add a printer so that it does not get deleted.

Yes, its part of the image. How does one add a software only printer that does not have an INF?

We use fog to deploy our printers. If we choose “add and Remove” for the management, it deletes the pdf printers. I assume this is because they were not installed by fog because they are not actually printers. Fog is the one deleting the pdf printers. IM not looking on how to install the pdf printers, i already have that done.

Thanks for the info, but I wanted to NOT delete the fake adobe or cute pdf printers.

Got fog pint working. Right now we only push printers out to PCs. I want to start setting fog to also delete printers. We have Adobe/Cute PDF printers. How do I get fog to [B][COLOR=#ff0000]not[/COLOR][/B] delete this printers since they are software and not real?

Tom,
If I left those two fields blank, the snapin seems to run just fine.

I think it fails with the same above error. I will verify tonite. Thanks again for your time and effort.

yep have to add the /c in the “snapin run with arguments” box . It is not optional.

HOLY @#$%@$# I got it to work. i added the /c in the argument parameters. I will try to duplicate tomorrow and report back.

I tried it on my home fog server. Got the same issue. Least I consistently fail. Here is the fog.log

Me either. Does this look right (see attached img) ?

also my scrip is simply

cd
ipconfig /all >c:\ip.txt

No, I gave it a new name.

I believe we did both. The client does work to rename the PC and to deploy printers.

I put a carriage return at the end of the file. Same results. Last line says
Starting Fog Snapin Installation
and nothing after that.

yes it is a bat file. It did not have a carriage return. Trying again now.

made a simple cmd file that just does an ifconfig and pipes it to a text file
ipconfig >c:\ip.txt

file runs fine manually. I am trying to push it out via a snapin. The fog.log show it as downloaded. Then it shows it as starting install, but never does anything after that. I dont think it actually installs. Any ideas?

I figured it out. We had inf files on our server that we used to install printers via batch files. I tried to use those same inf. For some reason they did not work. I reinstalled the exe that installed the inf files on the local machine. Pointing fog to these clean installs of INF files worked.

Come on someone must know. Still can not get this to work. Built a new fog sever and same issue.

UPDATE: we found that if we pull the AC power and the network cable then plug them back in that the PCs image just fine.
