Thanks for replying, but I don’t think this is the case. The rest of the computers are all on the blue screen that says “Please wait”, which comes after the “Checking in…” screen. It seems to me that this issue is related to another thread I posted a while ago: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-host-registration-hangs.10247/[/url]

I’ve looked at the actual code, and the thing is, FOG seems to get stuck trying to do a mysql_connect() call sometimes. I’ve increased the MySQL MAX_CONNECTIONS setting to 1000 from 100, which was the default, but I haven’t had any luck in solving this particular issue.

Version 0.32

When I try to do a multicast deploy, some hosts are stuck in the “Checking in…” line. After restarting the stuck PCs manually, they sometimes work and sometimes they get stuck again.

Nice. How do you do that with 200 computers. Any way to create this scheduled task via a snapin? Or are there alternative solutions?

EDIT: I figured it out myself. Suppose that you want to shut down the computers at midnight every day. Here’s how you do it:

1. Create a .bat file with the following content:
   schtasks /create /tn “shutdown_0000” /tr “c:\windows\system32\shutdown -s -f -t 00” /sc daily /st 00:00 /ru “System”

2. Create a snapin with the .bat file you just created.

3. Deploy the snapin to all your computers.

It happens with several devices. I have roughly 200 computers and 3 models.

When registering a host, Fog sometimes hangs at the “Attempting host registration” line. The thing is that I can’t reproduce this issue reliably. Any ideas about what the problem could be?

I want to shut down my Windows XP computers at 11pm every night and GreenFog is not working. How should I troubleshoot this issue? Also, are there any alternatives ways of doing this?

Some desktops I have require me to configure the BIOS to WOL, then configure the adapter in Windows to allow WOL[/quote]
How do you go about doing that in Windows?
I’ve already enabled WOL in the BIOS on my computers (they are Acer Veriton S661 btw). For me it’s pretty important to get this feature working, since it will enable me to restore computers at night.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 21660, member: 7271”]What version of fog? I’m going to guess 0.32?[/quote]
Correct. FOG 0.32 running on a Debian 7 server.

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 21661, member: 18”]I don’t know if scheduled tasks include the WOL call that non-scheduled tasks have.[/quote]
Well, manual tasks related to imaging also fail to wake up the computers. Only the Wake Up command works.

Title says all. I can manually wake up computers fine by using the Wake Up command from the Tasks page. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot and solve this?
