    • RE: Webcast: Imaging with FOG, Managing with PDQ

      @george1421 answering that questions only makes sense if we have the connection to the askers.
      Also i am wondering about some questions, why we have not seen this kind of questions before? Maybe they didn’t find the forum or it’s the gap between registering an account, formulating a question and wait for the answer 😉

      @Wayne-Workman but the only reason for me for this is because their software pieces are really great 😉 and i really like that they offer the free mode of the the product even when i am pdq deploy pro user.

      Cool for guys who cannot make the yearly invest.

    • RE: Fog Client doesn't update (no rename, ad join)

      This is strange, after letting some time go (10-15 minutes) the clients did their reboots and ad join’s after some minutes even when the inital error occour in the fog client log.

      FYI Server and Client time was correct.

    • RE: Printer Setup Using FOG

      Hi,

      here is one example of my printers:

      Printer Port: IP_172.19.100.242 (It's only the displayname for the port)
      Printer Model: KONICA MINOLTA C368SeriesPCL (this is important and have to match the inf file printername)
      Printer Config File: \\it4005\Treiber\Drucker\KM\C258\settings.dat (there are vbs scripts that import/export windows printer settings)

      @emerinea well done, but you should check wether dns is not working correctly or if the hostname is wrong.
      Anyway it’s time to go to a newer version you should migrate if you find the time.
