@joe-schmitt First try it broke Windows. Cant event get past setup.

I did not remove the old client before installing this one. After I removed it then installed the new one it appears to work.

Hello, I am trying to follow along with this and kinda get the basics. Does anyone have more examples? Maybe something with a Foreach? Couple things I am looking at doing. Looking to be able to scan laptops and put them into a To Be Image Group. I would like to pull all the info into a SQL table to better run query from and link to other databases for running reports. Then from there I would either use a import-csv and for each what I wanted to change or outright state the Host ID and what I wanted to change.

Also how can I select all attributes that are applied to the host? Get-FogObject -type Object -CoreObject host | Select-Object * does not give me all attributes to the host but this will give me Get-FogObject -type Object -CoreObject host | Select-Object id,name,primac

@oraniko

Go to C:\ on that machine after imaging and Open FOG.log

Reply with contents.

@ablohowiak @andjjru

Can you guys try this. I am out until Monday.

@Wayne-Workman

This worked. Thank you

@Wayne-Workman Updating to latest version resolved this issue. Thank you

@george1421 @Bob-Henderson

George, I think Bob is skipping over the editing of the FOG Scripts. Bob, if you have made the changes to unattended that still does nothing to tell FOG to drop your driver folder into C:\Drivers. See the following reply.

@george1421 said in Windows 10 Drivers Not Copying:

@uwpviolator Well then, I think you might want to change up your fog.drivers script a bit. Right now its working fine for win7 but not win10. So in the first script you posted modify this section of code.

#############################################
dots "Preparing Drivers"
# below creates local folder on imaged pc
# this can be anywhere you want just remember
# to make sure it matches throughout! (case IS important here)
clientdriverpath="/ntfs/Windows/inf/Drivers"
remotedriverpath="/images/drivers/$machine/$osn/$arch"

to this

#############################################
dots "Preparing Drivers"
# below creates local folder on imaged pc
# this can be anywhere you want just remember
# to make sure it matches throughout! (case IS important here)
if [ $osid -eq 9 ]
then
    clientdriverpath="/ntfs/Drivers"
else
    clientdriverpath="/ntfs/Windows/inf/Drivers"
fi
remotedriverpath="/images/drivers/$machine/$osn/$arch"

You might ask, so what will that do for you? The patch tests to see what OS you are deploying. If the OSID==9 then you are deploying a win10 image. In that case it will copy the drivers to C:\Drivers, all other OS’ the drivers will be copied to C:\Windows\Inf\Drivers.

Then in your unattend.xml file, tell oobe to look in c:\Drivers for its files.

@joe-schmitt All we need is for FOGService to do its thing. So if that is not needed for it then I will remove it.

@sebastian-roth I guess, we keep seeing it spike but we are going to switch from Ubuntu to Centros and then upgrade FOG to 1.5.0 in the next few weeks.

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.

@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?

@Sebastian-Roth Yes I had already had it disabled.

So this can get marked as resolved. Everything worked as expected except when you update the nodes the GUI did not show the new version until after we updated the Master. All the issues we had with 1.5.4 were resolved with 1.5.6. Very happy with this update.

GUI is super fast!
The freezing on formating MBR/GPT on start of imaging is back to only a few seconds. Replication seems to be acting normal again.

@Tom-Elliott Thank you for figure this out. Here is the correct query.

Insert into groupMembers (gmHostID,gmGroupID) Select hostID,'212' from hosts where Right(hostName,6) in ('D02595','110563')
