I was getting similar myself with the ipxe Rom hanging at “iPXE initializing devices”. The solution was to build a fresh undionly.kpxe (https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/IPXE#Compile).
Before you bake, modify general.h to comment out or remove the following lines:
#define DOWNLOAD_PROTO_HTTPS
#define IMAGE_TRUST_CMD
#define CERT_CMD
Then compile, and copy the rom to your tftp folder.

This is good information. It’s how I automate the FOG client install after my sysprep images have been restored.

@Sebastian-Roth

I’ll have to brush up on the commands for replacing the certs on the clients. Been a long time.

Put the machines into a group. From the group, update the ad information as needed and save. That should update all your machines with the necessary information.

@Scott-B Pleas run find /var -type f -name "*fpm*log*" and post results here.

Ahhh, forget about that. Ubuntu has the errors in apache error log as far as I remember. Please take a look at /var/log/apache2/error.log and maybe paste the whole log messages from yesterday and today here.

@seppim While I don’t use hiren’s software, let me download the iso and see what has changed. I know it worked at one time.

@Sebastian-Roth said in Clear Primary User and Other Tag Fields:

actually clear those fields for ALL your hosts! If you don’t have a backup, there is no way back after running tho

Perfect, exactly what I needed. Thank you!

@Scott-B Be aware that I just re-added the #!ipxe stuff as other users told us the advanced menu is broken for them now: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13230/advanced-menu-bug

This is only in the current development version but it will also be in the next release 1.5.7. Just so you know in case you update to that or a later version at some point in time.

Thanks for the info. I’ve been leaning towards Cent so I’ll start there with a test migration.

@sebastian-roth It’s possible, but that can be done right in the gui.

@sebastian-roth said in Migrated Server - Clients Cannot Connect:

@Scott-B So things are fixed for you now, I understand?

Yes good to go! Now to perform the migration on the production server.

@Scott-B the address is stored in the settings.json file, as long as the new address its being pointed to has the same certificates (if its the same server then all is good).

I’m not sure how well this would work, but you could try using a snapin, that changes the files, and reboots the machine. I’d suggest trying it on one machine first and see how it goes.

@scott-b
These are interesting:

Because the first one says ‘already exists’ but we don’t see the same message on the others, meaning they were not there already. This is strange. Asking @Joe-Schmitt to look at it.

You can use the steps in the first half of that to get a config file. You’d just make that configuration file available on a share with Sharing and File permissions both set to allow reading for ANONYMOUS_LOGON and guest users, and then path to the file using a UNC path.

Thanks Wayne!

That makes a lot of sense to me. Does the inits assume it’s re-sizable if those files are present?

While I am still not sure this was the issue I am pretty sure that things can go wrong if you simply change from resizable to non-resizable (plus use different size destination disks) without uploading again. But the inits do not assume resizable just because those files are there - they do the image type configured in the DB and just try to use the partition information available (d1.partitions in case of non-resizable) ignoring the other stuff.

As I said: It doesn’t have to cause trouble but it’s likely to.

@ITCC it is set how it’s set because how it works. It’s not a “host” thing as we don’t have a decent mechanism, in my opinion, to find hosts. Because hosts are found by MAC address the simplest mechanism is to use to Mac table to work against.

Should be fixed in latest sorry about causing the issue.

@Jbob said in no reboot after image, rename, add to AD:

Well I am confused. According to that log everything worked perefectly…

I’m about to pull down a few other images. I’ll post back.

Working in Server Version 7669 as well. Thanks for the help!
