Okay interesting, so on mine I have the batch file look for existing installations of FOG, if theres non then just run the MSI, seems to have worked for that one client, but theres no way of telling since registering on the fog server seems sporadic right now
Also found the firewall things here;
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Client_Setup#Firewall_Exceptions
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source Destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source Destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source Destination
For iptables. Appreciate the help on this!
Yeah I have it under the A name in my DNS, the actual client for other computers uses IP as well, so both are being used
{
"HTTPS": "0",
"Tray": "1",
"Server": "fogserver",
"WebRoot": "/fog",
"Version": "0.11.16",
"Company": "FOG",
"RootLog": "1"
}
Just checked again on my hosts, still only showing the ones I’ve added via registration in pxe
Sorry for the late reply, had a catastrophe with our server and had to rebuild it.
The only thing imported are the images and now I’m on Ubuntu.
The log is on my Windows 7 PC in the user folder, this is the most recent after the server rebuild
So what I’m expecting is having computers with the FOG client on, to be displayed in the hosts menu in FOG, but they arent listed, they get listed if I register them in PXE.
My log is reading;

Okay heres something wild, I dont know how but a random users PC just registered itself on the Fog server, though I havent set my script to deploy to anyone, only a specific OU…
So I guess the good news is that it worked for one machine, the bad news is I think I just pushed Fog out prematurely
edit: Okay turns out I deployed it somehow, no going back now. At least its worked for one computer!
I’m not seeing any in pending, my first ever machine I put the client on did work, and went to pending but two I’ve just installed it on arent showing with the log errors as above, I’m gonna check firewall out
Hey guys
So I’m working on mass deploying the Fog client to all of our users computers so I can send images to them. I have the MSI set to install via batch file with the correct parameters.
msiexec /i "C:\temp\FOGService.msi" /qn USETRAY="1" HTTPS="0" WEBADDRESS="192.168.10.138" WEBROOT="/fog" ROOTLOG="1"
The test computers I have deployed it on are getting the following:

These machines are NOT registered to the server, but I was hoping the client would take care of that as I’ve seen it before for my Windows machines.
Could someone point where I’m going wrong?
Wait… Maybe I’ve been going at this wrong.
Am I supposed to manually register each computer I image? I assumed the client would register the computer in the FOG server. My bad if so, I’ve looked at the quick register settings, enabled it but that isnt bringing new clients on to the server
