So the issue we are seeing now is with Locations and Snapins. We only want snapins on 1 storage node as we dont have many and dont want to deal with making sure they are replicated and update correctly.

When you set a location to image a host, even though the snapin does not exist on the locations node and the snapin definition is the only node it is assigned to, FOG tried to copy from the location node which fails because its not there. How can we fix this issue?

@tom-elliott @george1421 So it is taking forever to replicate just 1 Node drivers. We rsynced before but its almost copying every file again. What do we need to do to make the copies be the same and speed up replication? What does FOG use to check the file to see if it matches?

@george1421 Yes I fixed that and it now looks like its replicating.

Now question. Can I tell this image (drivers) to replicate to other storage nodes other than our Master Group?

@george1421 @Tom-Elliott

Created the template and it did not replicate. Is it case sensitive?

FOG 1.5.4

We have another post going for one issue, but this is different. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12148/replication-problems-1-5-4-always-copying

I have another question/issue. Replication of a Master Node down to other nodes in the storage group. We are using FOG with Driver injection postscript, and I wondering, does replication happen on the whole folder of /images or only the image folder under /images?

If replication does not replicate everything under /images how should we replicate /images/drivers folder?

We are moving FOG servers including IP address so can auto update. I also cant run powershell scripts as a requirement in zenworks. I need either a registery or a file to say if this exist run or dont run the new FOG Client.

What is the best way to detect what FOG client version is installed on a computer. Is there a registry or a file? I need that to add as a requirement for deploying the new agent of our new FOG system.

Now this is a dirty way to do it as I don’t have the MYSQL skills or database background. What you can do it go to reports and run an inventory report. Export that. Now cant the column that has the hostname and change it to what you want. Find and replace or just trim your hostname down to asset tag them add whatever your naming convention is. So now you have a new column of hostname and the MAC address that was exported from inventory report. Follow the format for CSV upload here https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Managing_FOG#Hosts

Now under the 4th column add “Description” name this something like import and the date. This will be used to group the hosts you just imported. Go into FOG add whatever hosts you want to change to a group. Delete that group and check and delete hosts. NOTE this will remove all history assigned images settings and login history (Hence Dirty Way) Now import the hosts you want back in. After you successfully import your assets back in go to the hosts tab and search the description you added on import. Select all those hosts and add them to a group to apply all the new settings to. Once you add service settings and AD info they will start renaming your computers and depending on your settings may or may not reboot the computer.

That seemed to fix it. Image was uploaded. Had no time to test deploying it. You can mark this as resolved. Thank you for the quick work.
