The great thing about FOG is it will auto expand into a bigger disk. : ) So I see you followed the guide on the last thread, so all you need to do is make your image (don’t make it with a huge drive because the computer/vm you take the image from needs to have the smaller hard drive, this is important!) and then deploy it out. : ) As long as the target computer you’re deploying to doesn’t have a smaller drive than the host you made the image on, you’ll be golden. : )

In the image menu, make sure you’re on Single Disk- resize-able. : )

Throw this in Notepad and save it as a .bat (if you’re running Windows of course :))

@echo off
goto :input
cls

:input
cls
echo Enter Hostname of PC you want to check fog.log of
echo[
set /p hostname=
\\%hostname%\c$\fog.log

And if you want it to ask you if it came up correctly

@echo off
goto :input
cls

:input
cls
echo Enter Hostname of PC you want to check fog.log of
echo[
set /p hostname=
\\%hostname%\c$\fog.log
set choice=
set /p choice=Did that work?
if '%choice%'=='y' goto :great
if '%choice%'=='yes' goto :great
if '%choice%'=='n' goto :oops
if '%choice%'=='no' goto :oops
:great
echo Great. :)
timeout 1
goto :end
:oops
echo Okay, let's try it again!
timeout 2
goto :input
:end

@coop90 I don’t know of anything, but I might try to write out a little script so you just type in the hostname and it opens it up.

If I do it I’ll let you know.

Can you do \\%computer%\c$\fog.log ?

Sure. If you want to upgrade to the dev-branch (I would) we can go from there and see if it’s any better.

Ooooohh so you’re using svn not git? That might be the problem.

What does git branch bring up if /root/fogproject/ ?

@anthony-delarosa Are you running the installer as root/sudo?

@anthony-delarosa I have mine a little more tweaked to do that stuff with some scripts from the devs Here’s the link if you want to check out injecting drivers which is step 1

Let’s try updating.

Navigate to your FOG directory

cd /root/fogproject

git pull

cd /bin/

./installfog.sh -y 

#run as root or sudo, can't remember for CentOS

Give that a try and see if it’s any better.

Can you try updating to the latest stable (or dev-branch) and see if it helps at all?

Also, do you have your FOG server setup to do anything else besides imaging? I had multi-site driver sync going and it chewed up a lot of CPU.

Yep, follow this thread and I will be your guide!

@phaturia Betting you are right. My machines are iffy with joining too. For some reason FOGService doesn’t want to start.

fog.log will tell though.

@predator Here you go, start here

All the devs and mods helped me get a working solution. That is a gold mine of information in there!

Here is my thread if you’re interested!

I had this issue not long ago. Try this!

a2ensite 000-default
service apache restart
mkdir /var/www/dban
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /iso/dban.iso /var/www/dban

Repulled 1.5.0 RC 7 per Tom’s instructions and the fixes were applied (repush was done to RC 7 after I had already pulled it)

Server

• FOG Version: 1.5.0 RC-7
• OS: Debian 8.6

Description

After getting the VirtualBox to work with the right PXE file I thought I was just about ready to upload the image. Unfortunately, after I registered it- it didn’t actually register. It shows in the webUI, it says it’s registered when I try to do a full registration, but at the PXE menu it does not want to see that the host is registered.

Hopefully you guys aren’t sick of me yet.

@jim-graczyk From the ones that aren’t working can they get to the cert?

@george1421 Just upgraded to RC-7. I will restart both of the FOG servers just in case. @Tom-Elliott do you have time to remote in this week by any chance?

@george1421 I didn’t see anything in there related to ftp unfortunately.

I agree, this has to be something little that we’re missing.

I chmod 777’d /images/drivers to be sure.

@george1421 If I did that right, then all worked okay for me when doing that. Made /images/testdir on the remote, used put testfile into that directory then deleted it.

Seemed okay doing that (i just want to make sure I did exactly how you asked! )
