Okay, got it working by checking the box Name Change/AD Join Forced reboot. It never fails that I can look at something for 2 hours and soon as I finally break down and ask everyone, I find the problem.

Thanks.

We just got some Windows 10 machines and I was working on imaging them. The imaging works fine it seems, but if I change the hostname in FOG, it is not forcing the client to change it. I was told that the hostnamechanger will not work with Windows 10. Is this true? My FOG version is 1.5.0 and the client version is 0.11.12. I have been searching around and have not found the answer yet.

I have never had any troubles with WindowsXP or Windows 7 in the past as far as the host name change goes.

Thanks for any info.

Seems it will not change the name of the host or add to the domain.

I went through the steps of recompiling with a different PassKey. Basically got to the point of double-clicking the MOD_HostNameChanger.cs file and changed the Private const String PASSKEY = “12345”.

I then “Saved All” and “Build Solution”

I went to the Client Updater in the FOG Server Console and upload the hostnamechange.dll from C:\FOG Service\src\FOG_HostNameChanger\bin\Release.

I changed the C:\FOGCrypt\etc\config.ini file to contain
[main]
passkey=12345

I did a FOGCrypt <user_that_can_add_to_domain_password> and entered the encrypted key into my [FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#555555]FOG_AD_DEFAULT_PASSWORD on the FOG Configuration page.[/COLOR][/FONT]

I downloaded the FOG Client from FOGIPADDRESS\fog\client and set it up on my client.

Nothing was happening as far as changing the hostname. I then thought that maybe since the Installer was not actually recomplied that maybe the client still had the old hostnamechange.dll so I copied it over to the client.

I am still not getting ti to change the hostname.

This is FOG 1.2.0 and here is my FOG.LOG file from the client. I assume it has somethign to do with the Index was outside the bounds of the array below error, but I do not know. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Thank Tom. My coffee had not had time to kick in this morning I guess. I see what you are saying there.

I appreciate the help.

Scott

Thanks. I will see how it goes. I had it compiled that far.

I do have a question though. Where is the PassKey used at? Do I need to put the .dll on the client also for some sort of key verification?

The PassKey is not actually the user’s password that is used to add the computers to the domain is it? I assume it and the password that you encrypt with FOGCrypt are two separate passwords.

I guess it has me a bit confused on the FOGCrypt. I change the config.ini file to have the PassKey I then use the FOGCrypt utility to encrypt the password to enter into the FOG console. Where does that config.ini file stay? It is readable so that kind of kills the security.

Am I looking at that wrong? Thanks.
Scott

So I just need to change the password in the source, Save All and Build Solution. Then go to Fog Configuration->Client Updater and upload the file? Which file is it that I need to upload? Just the HostnameChange.dll?

I am good with whatever I need to do to get rid of the Generic OpenSource passkey.

Thanks for the reply.
Scott

I just setup a new FOG server which is version 1.2.0. I am needing to recompile the hostname module with a different passkey for letting my clients join the domain.

I don’t recall having any trouble with this last time, of course that was 6 or so years ago. I am following the instructions here: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Managing_FOG#Users[/url]

I change the password, save all, and build the solution, but then when I try to open up the FogService.sln, it seems that the FOG Service Installer is incompatible with Visual studio or something [It has (Incompatible) next to it].

I have tried Visual Studio 2013, 2010 and 2008. The 2008 actually gives me “csproj cannot be opened because its project type is not supported by this version of the application.”

Anyone else seeing this or have a good fix for it? I would like to get rid of the generic opensource password if possible.

Thanks for any suggestions.
