CentOS Linux 7.7.1908
FOG 1.5.6
Have not had issues running a .exe before but for some reason this one will not tell FOG its done. The .exe runs and reboots apart of the install on a delay of 5mins. It installs and reboots but FOG never gets the message it completed then it runs the install again and reboots and loops.
Do I need to set this as a Snapin Pack and run with a script? Or do I use the Snapin Timeout feature (Never used it before and not much info on it in Wiki)
@Sebastian-Roth I have no way of knowing any of that hence the powershell script. What I want is to get a script that does all that FOG users need. Check to see if service is installed, if not Install. Check to see if FOG is broken, I currently look at the FOG.log date. If the date is over 14 days old then its broken, uninstall reinstall. Now I want to read the FOG.log file and key in on something to tell me its broke “Unhandled exception caught” or “Log Hash code” seem like good options. If we get this script to just record info then I can start narrowing down the info your are asking for. We usually dont deploy many snapins post imaging.
My skills in powershell are not amazing so was thinking of colaborating with the FOG community and r/Powershell to get us a good script that others can deploy to their networks to maintain FOG. I plan to add this script to a daily maintence script.

FOG 1.5.6
I have a lot of clients with FOG.logs like this. Is there any way to fix this other than uninstall reinstall? If not could we get some powershell people together to write a script to uninstall reinstall if it finds log files like this?

@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')
@Daniel-Miller No, I typed in 212. I could get it from another table with another where statement. I think that is the issue.
Ok so it has to be the gmGroupID. It doesnt like me just plain texting it. I am able to run this
INSERT INTO groupMembers
(gmHostID, gmGroupID)
VALUES
(8928, 212)
Error Code: 1064. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ’ VALUES (‘hostID’,‘212’) SELECT hostID,212 FROM hosts WHERE Right(hosts.hos’ at line 1
So was working with my SQL admin and got this narrowed down to the following. Yet I am still getting a error on my insert statement. What are we missing? 212 is the group ID. Those values I am querying are the asset tags of our machines but would also like to query the whole host names if possible but from what I heard I cant do a in and like statement. My select statement works perfectly.
Insert Into groupMembers (gmHostID, gmGroupID)
SELECT hostID,212 FROM `hosts`
WHERE Right(hosts.hostName,6) in ('D02595','110563','110687','110570','110592','111045','111050','111064','111071','96643','D02320','111921','111914','111916','110076','-98264','103070','111846','111842','111840','111459','111470','111471','111463','111437','103636','103638','103639','-97871')
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.
@Sebastian-Roth Yes I had already had it disabled.
I tested that node and it still deploys image so my guess is its a glitch in the GUI until we update the master node.
@Sebastian-Roth @Tom-Elliott We planed a maintenance window tomorrow morning to update our FOG. We were going to update storage nodes today but when we update the nodes from 1.5.4 to 1.5.6 in the FOG GUI we no longer see them connected. 072Cache was updated to 1.5.6 and we updated the username in GUI to fogproject and verified the password. Is this normal until we update the master node to 1.5.6?
@Sebastian-Roth Thank you for that we will do that when updating to 1.5.6, but for future upgrades is it best practice to update nodes then update master? If we miss a node (we have 12-15) will that break the master node in any way? Also if we update nodes and then don’t update the master will that break things? What happens if we update the master but not the nodes. Say we go to 1.5.63 then 1.5.7 comes out. If we don’t go back and then update all of them right way that ok but I would assume you would want them to be updated eventually correct?
CentOS Linux 7.5.1804
FOG 1.5.4
Sorry if this is a dumb question but was not able to find the answer to this in the wiki or in the forum.
What steps needs to be taken to update our current FOG installation from 1.5.4 to 1.5.6 other than taking a snapshot before running new installer?
All our FOG Storage nodes are currently on 1.5.4. Do we update nodes first? Does it matter? If Storage nodes need to be updated first but we missed one and it comes on after we updated our master fog to 1.5.6 will things break?
@george1421 For anyone following this post for Precision 3530.
Thank you all for the help
@george1421 It has a NIC but it does not allow Legacy Boot to internal HD. FOG images it but it wont boot to HD. We have not done anything to FOG to get it to be able to image UEFI.
Centos
FOG 1.5.4
@george1421 No but to be clear I have the 3530 which you mentioned in a post here. Do you want me to create a new post for it?
@george1421 I have no clue what that is.
@Sebastian-Roth Is there anything I can do to test for you guys? Maybe setup a remote session for you guys to do your thing?
@george1421 @Sebastian-Roth @meatloaf4dayz
Any update on this model?
