Thank you for answering.

@Sebastian-Roth said in Added Printers not showing:

deleted the manually assinged printers

What is the right way you could advise for Printer deployment?

I thougt, I have to install (Administrator user) the Printers to make sure the drivers are installed and the remove the printers manually, so that they could be asigned by fog. As Adminuser this works perfekt. If I log in as a different user it wont work.

Is that the right way or can you describe how it should be done to work properly.

Kind regards
Matthew

Hi,
I read severalt posts of Printer Problems and tried very much to get my problem solved, but unfortunatly not.

Here is what I have done:

• New Windows 10 installation
• two Printer drivers installed
• assigned manually 4 Printers of two differnt types (P6230 and 3045) worked without problem
• deleted the manually assinged printers

Now in FOG 1.5.10:

• iMac4-116 assinged two Printers:

\rto-server1\Info4Farbe as Network-Printer
\rto-server1\Info4SW as Network-Printer

• Only Assigned Printers (to show only the two assinged printer)

As local Admin ist works perferctly. If I login as a differnt User (no Admin) I become the Printers not. Log is showong:

I tried to restart the spooler, and the fog service. Same Problem.

I looked on the printserver at the ports and saw that there were no Network-Ports (in the Admin User there are Ports).

Can you help me here.

Kind regards

@Sebastian-Roth said in Boot pxe from partition instead of USB:

https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_on_a_MAC#Using_bless

I understand the bless comand but will this not change the boot partition permanently? I dont have a problem to boot from the right partion.

Hi,

no I have the time to deal with this problem again.

Again further details how I have done it:

1. made a fat 32 partition in my intel iMac
2. copied all the files from my working USB-Boot-Stick to the partition
3. Started the mac by holding the option key
4. No I could choice the boot partition (my new Fat 32 boot partition with all files from the working usb-boot-stick)
5. got the eror:
   app.efi: LocateProtocoll(AppleLogging) succeeded
   error: no such partition

could it be that there have to be done other work that the fat32 boot partition will find the exact file to boot.
I have made the USB-boot sticks with Rufus. I dont kow if there were made changes by rufus.

thank you very much.

Hi,
i have the fog client on windows 10 to map network printers. On some clients it works on others it dont.

I tried UNC Path and with IP, but the same thing.

As I read the log there would be wrote that the printers are already mapped but they dont.

Can you please help me.
thnak you Mathew

@Sebastian-Roth

It is the same as on my USB-Sticks. I only copied the content of the USB to the FAT Partition

I made a partition in os X and formated it with FAT32, then i copied the stuff of my BootUSB to the partition. After this on botting the partition is shown as EFIboot.
When I select this FAT32 EFIboot the error will be shown.

I think it could be a Problem with the masterboot record? but I dont have the experience to fix it.
Do think this could be the Problem?
Thank you

Hi,
thank you for repleing.

I tried to boot form a FAT32 Partition with the grub form my working USB bootstick. I copied the files to the FAT32 Partition and booted form it with the following error

app.efi: LocateProtocoll(AppleLogging) succeeded
error: no such partition

Do you have a hint for me?

Kind regards

Hi,

i have 86 iMacs booting in windows 10. Fog client is installed and should map the Networkprinters.

I have problems on some clients that they won’t get the assigned printers, so do.

I tried to manage the printers only by fog and that the existing would not be deleted. Bevor distributing the image I installed on the image client every network printer, so every client should have the drivers and was connected to every printer in my network. After this I deleted the mapped printers and distributed the image.

Please see some screenshoots.!

Hi,

is it possible to make a small partition with the grub pxe on every mac instead of pluging in a USB?

Did someone tried this?

If it is possible in OS X to hide the partition I think this would be the best way to boot iMacs…

thank you
Mathew

Hi Sebastian,

thank you.

You are right it might be a Mac-Problem. After resetting the Parameter RAM ist works like before.
Many thanks
Mathew

Hi,
I have Fog Server with 86 iMac Intel for image distribution. It worked for two years. No I have one Machine that shows the error

“wlc_phy_radio2069_afecal: SPINWALIT EROOR: AFECAL for core 2 failed”
and the same for “core 1”

I booted with several USB Grub Bootsticks and got the same message every time.

The machine worked in former times with the same configuration.

Can you give me a hint?
Thank you
Mathew

Hi,
I have 76 windows clients with win 10 installed. The fog client is running and the firewall settings are made. so far it works good.

The Printer assingment is a little bit confusing

The clients are configured to assing network printers. Please see the screenshoots. But the assinged printers differs form the settings in fog.
Thank you.

@sebastian-roth
Thank you.

I saw that the printers in the list of a group are all printers not the assinged.
In the client there are the right ones.
thank you

Yes,

the members of my groups are not added after I made the settings. They are all in the group and then I changed the printers of the group but in the printer Settings of the members the printer didnt appear.

Hi,

I have a group with assined members and changed the Printer of the group and a snappin for the group.
In the group properties the changes would be shown but if i go to a member client of the group and look the printer is not assind to the member client and the snapping too.

thank you very much

I saw that the boot stick has a masterboot record and the drive in the imac is GPT.
Could you imagine that this is the Problem why the FOS linux didnt boot?

@george1421
Hi,
I tried to get the boot stick on a partiton on every mac.
I made a knew partition FAT32 and copied the whole stuff from the USB-Stick to the FAT Partition.
After booting i became an error
error:no such partition

Is there a way to fix this and boot from this partition?
Thank you
Mathias

@george1421
Ok,
I looked in the Systemreport in OS X and find out that the iMacs are from 2017.
This means my reseller sold me in 2021 old stuff because of the latest imac 21,5 is form 2019 as I konow
