RE: Delete Host Problem, Host deleted but left overs still in DBposted in Bug Reports
@tom-elliott ok this worked i can name a new host it4434 again but do you see the bug?
I will now try to remove that host again (regulary)…Ok when i try to remove the same happens again (not wondering):

Can find the host in the host list after that even when its telling me wrong credentials, something has been deleted but only partly. When i now boot into fog menu, its not telling me that the host is still registered, crazy before it told me host is registered.
Bug?

RE: Delete Host Problem, Host deleted but left overs still in DBposted in Bug Reports
Hi,
i could help myself with:
mysql> DELETE FROM hostMAC WHERE hmMAC LIKE '%hostmac%';But something must be broken with the host deletion?
Maybe this is also related: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10696/can-t-delete-host-with-empty-host-name-1-5-0-rc-7
EDIT:
omg whats happening here, after manual deletion of the host i ran another quick registration via the pxe menu, after that i try to give this host his old name but:

The name was it4434 (there must be still something in the db related with this name)
When i search for it4434 there is nothing:

I have the feeling when i now delete the host again while his name is it’s mac that i cannot add it again.
How can i delete that hostname left overs?Help! please

RE: Windows 10 key after deploymentposted in Windows Problems
@thequicken i setup two virtual windows 10 machines in virtual box. one will be installed with gpt and one with mbr (legacy, efi image). (The ISO for install is created by the windows media creation tool, windows 10 pro).
I start the install and then i go into admin-mode (when the first settings appear in the setup strg + shift +f3). Then i activate both machines with oem licenses (win 7 dvd box with a sticker), if windows 10 is not activated you cannot set every option until it’s activated.
Then i install software and play with the settings.
Finally i sysprep the machines and capture them.When i now deploy such image, i use setkey.exe as a snapin to read the bios key and activate the machine with it.
don’t forget i use an answer file (unattend.xml) so the windows setup (oobe) will run automatically.If you need i can show you the scripts i use.
FYI virtual box doesnt offer a EFI network boot, to capture or deploy a virtual box EFI system i disable EFI and boot via network boot in legacy mode, after deployment or capturing i enable EFI again for that vm host (else it won’t boot).
What’s your installation base if you say you cannot activate with bios key? Do you use something else then OEM Media? Maybe a Install Base for VL?

Cannot add pushbullet account (nothing happens when i click on add)posted in Bug Reports

- FOG Version: RC9
Hi,
i try to reactivate my pushbullet account for the fog pushbullet plugin, i stopped using it since it stopped working some releases ago, afai remember i also had this problem in the past with cannot add api token.
I simply paste my token and click on add and nothing happens, no load in the browser, just quite.

If i wait some time and reclick add i just got the message:

when i now click: list all pushbullet accounts, the list is empty:

There is an empty entry, when i mark it and try to delete it asks for credentials, i enter them and then the system is telling me that the crendetials are wrong:

(they are not wrong!) after that the empty entry is gone and i can start all over:

What’s wrong here? Any clues? Am i the only one using that plugin?

RE: FOG Client / FOS report bios product key to database (Host) Activate through BIOS key (Deployment)posted in Feature Request
Hi,
can i have some clues where is the right point to try to embed the command while doing an inventory? which file in the filesystem is doing all the commands while doing inventorisation?
If the team isn’t willing to integrate, i will do it on my own.

RE: FOG Client / FOS report bios product key to database (Host) Activate through BIOS key (Deployment)posted in Feature Request
for me it’s hard to follow that position. But i have to respect it. -
RE: FOG Client / FOS report bios product key to database (Host) Activate through BIOS key (Deployment)posted in Feature Request
Yes it works,
i just created a FOS USB Stick, thank you @george1421 and booted it with a notebook that has a product key in it’s bios into kernel debug mode (i need shell).
Then i entered the following command:
tail -c+57 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDMWhat i got was, surprise a product key:

To be sure that this is really our product key i also used the command i found and a key tool to crosscheck the key.
And yes it’s correct:

What we need now is the following @Sebastian-Roth:
- FOS ability to read and report bios product key to the host product key field in db (expand the inventory script with the command above to read the key and report it like any other inventory item)
- FOG Clients ability to also report product key (if not already done) for the case if the fog client has been mass deployed in existing environment where maybe not all host will be booted and inventoried by the FOG Boot Menu.
Afaik this should be all we need because if i fill the product key field of a host today with a product key and deploy a windows system, fog client will set this key into the system. So everything is prepared except the feature that we can read key from the bios and report them to the db.
Who is responsible from the dev team for the FOS?
Regarding to @george1421 post before, another solution could be a second product key field, one is for the manual known input, and another for determined bios product keys, now for each host there could be a switch in the options where we can decide which product key field to use?
Am i wrong?

RE: FOG Client / FOS report bios product key to database (Host) Activate through BIOS key (Deployment)posted in Feature Request
@george1421 said in FOG Client report Windows key to FOG WebIf (Host definition) Activate through BIOS key (Deployment):
Well we have to remember or be sure to create an isolation between FOS and the target OS. For windows activation that needs to be done inside windows. Either through the unattend.xml file or slmgr or fog client.
FOG Client should trigger slmgr with the apropriate key from the database.
What would be interesting is if / when FOS takes an inventory of the target computer it could also read the bios key and store it in a field.
Yes, i think thats the way to go but what if someone uses FOG in an already deployed but growing environment. Typically FOG Client would be mass installed, is the FOG Client reporting the same inventory stuff like the inventory been done by the boot menu? If not FOG Client also should have the ability to read the key from bios and report it.
Maybe not the activation key field but a bios key field. Then at some time that bios key may be copied to the activation key field and let the fog client do its thing. OR within the FOS post install scripts to be able to have access to that information (via the gethost.php script) so the post install script can use it to update the unattend.xml or patch a setupcomplete.cmd line that runs the slmgr command. But the idea is that if we collect this during inventory then I don’t see any other bits of fog needing to be changed other than adding a field to the inventory table, making that new field visible in the webgui and changing the inventory script to collect the key.
Why not keeping it simple? Would it not be enough if the fog client checks if the client has it’s key and if not just trigger slmgr with the information we have in the db?
I can’t say for sure that the stuff that I found works. My Linux Mint laptop is built for Win7 so there is no key to be found when I inspect the MSDM table.
I tried this with my work pc over the ubuntu bash windows 10 offers, there are the acpi tables missing but i think that have to be done in a native running linux not in an emulated one.
@george1421 can i try your usb FOS Image, maybe boot from the stick and try if i can get the serial from bios?
Lets say that works can’t we start with sending that key to fogs database for the current product key field? If this has been done we are good to go because currently fog client can activate a deployed system by an entered key in that host definition field.
I have a notebook with windows 10 key in bios beside me where i can try it this evening.

RE: FOG Client / FOS report bios product key to database (Host) Activate through BIOS key (Deployment)posted in Feature Request
@sebastian-roth @george1421 if you are able to inject the key like slmgr is doing that with (/ipk and /ato) on a running windows system why not doing it in the moment of deployment under FOS.
I like the idea, but how can you inject it?If we have this feature in the client we have to think howto implement without polling this information again and again, we need it only once so i think the FOS method would be the best if you can do it.
Here is the slmgr.vbs: https://pastebin.com/a2yP1MfD
I’ve taken it from a Windows 10 Pro 1703 System.Install Product Key:
Private Sub InstallProductKey(strProductKey) Dim objService, objProduct Dim lRet, strDescription, strOutput, strVersion Dim iIsPrimaryWindowsSku, bIsKMS bIsKMS = False On Error Resume Next set objService = GetServiceObject("Version") strVersion = objService.Version objService.InstallProductKey(strProductKey) QuitIfError() ' Installing a product key could change Windows licensing state. ' Since the service determines if it can shut down and when is the next start time ' based on the licensing state we should reconsume the licenses here. objService.RefreshLicenseStatus() For Each objProduct in GetProductCollection(ProductIsPrimarySkuSelectClause, PartialProductKeyNonNullWhereClause) strDescription = objProduct.Description iIsPrimaryWindowsSku = GetIsPrimaryWindowsSKU(objProduct) If (iIsPrimaryWindowsSku = 2) Then OutputIndeterminateOperationWarning(objProduct) End If If IsKmsServer(strDescription) Then bIsKMS = True Exit For End If Next If (bIsKMS = True) Then ' Set the KMS version in the registry (64 and 32 bit versions) lRet = SetRegistryStr(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SLKeyPath, "KeyManagementServiceVersion", strVersion) If (lRet <> 0) Then QuitWithError lRet End If If ExistsRegistryKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SLKeyPath32) Then lRet = SetRegistryStr(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SLKeyPath32, "KeyManagementServiceVersion", strVersion) If (lRet <> 0) Then QuitWithError lRet End If End If Else ' Clear the KMS version in the registry (64 and 32 bit versions) lRet = DeleteRegistryValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SLKeyPath, "KeyManagementServiceVersion") If (lRet <> 0 And lRet <> 2 And lRet <> 5) Then QuitWithError lRet End If lRet = DeleteRegistryValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SLKeyPath32, "KeyManagementServiceVersion") If (lRet <> 0 And lRet <> 2 And lRet <> 5) Then QuitWithError lRet End If End If strOutput = Replace(GetResource("L_MsgInstalledPKey"), "%PKEY%", strProductKey) LineOut strOutput End SubActivate:

So we need a switch or something in the host definition to turn on/off activation with bios key.
But what if we have a allready installed system that wasn’t deployed by FOG, i really like to gain such keys after the installation of the fog client. Maybe we need both FOS’s ability to inject and detect a key and the same with the fog client for existing computers that naver had contact with FOG but going to have FOG Client installed on it.
Challenge accepted?

EDIT:
I have the feeling we need to write to the windows registry under FOS if we would like to inject the Windows Product Key:
http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/windows-xp-product-key-recovery/
http://geekswithblogs.net/willemf/archive/2006/05/31/80203.aspxI am not sure but maybe we don’t need (slmgr /ato), windows should activate automatically by itself.
The more i think about i came to conclusion that the mechanism of reading and injecting the key should done by the fog client, while the system is running.
What do you think guys?

RE: FOG Client / FOS report bios product key to database (Host) Activate through BIOS key (Deployment)posted in Feature Request
@sebastian-roth said in FOG Client report Windows key to FOG WebIf (Host definition):
@x23piracy I am still not sure if I get this right. Should we also extract the key from the registry if we don’t find it in the firrmware table? What if we find both, what if they don’t match (is this possible)??
- If we find both, we take the one from bios, if only registry found we take this.
- They will never match a windows 10 pro bios activated computer always has the following generic key in it’s registry:
VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T
since i know that u are german: https://www.deskmodder.de/wiki/index.php/Seriennummern_Key_generischer_Schlüssel_Windows_10
Additional to the feature request itself, it would be a really cool if we could embed the activation with what i am doing with my setkey.exe snapin into fog, so under host definition could be a checkbox near the windows key labeled “activate with bios key”. That could be checked by default, so if i deploy a new computer fog will automatically activate with the bios key and the fog client will report the specific bios key back to fogs host definition and if there would be a report the pakage would be complete.
For the client interval how often to check the key i would recommend to only do it on first client checkin, we just need to check this once, the key will never be changed. so if we once collected a key from a specific host we can stop crawling the key for it. Maybe it could be useful to have a function to say he try to recrawl the key for that client without resetting this for all.

Maybe we also need a global option for the fog client: “Report Client Windows Key” @tom-elliott

As i can see we still have a product key report

RE: FOG Client / FOS report bios product key to database (Host) Activate through BIOS key (Deployment)posted in Feature Request
@sebastian-roth yes me, because that python code is part of the binary i use for my snapin, it works great.
i am using the exe binary: https://github.com/christian-korneck/get_win8keyfrom a system without key in the bios

from a system with key in the bios

i just bypass the output of that binary to slmgr /ipk key and then trigger slmgr /ato, thats it.
@echo off for /f “tokens=*” %%i in (’%cd%\oemkey’) do set oemkey=%%i cscript %systemroot%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk %oemkey% >nul cscript %systemroot%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato >nul exit -
