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.

[quote=“BPSTravis, post: 24689, member: 22444”]Is this with one machine in particular or multiple devices/models?[/quote]

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?

Right now, everything (including the .mntcheck files) under /images has been already chmoded to 777 and it’s owned by fog:root. [S]Should I try changing the ownership to apache:apache?[/S] Since it’s been chmoded to 777 it shouldn’t matter who owns the file right?

EDIT: Also, how are images stored in its final form? Do I have to create a folder named prova beforehand?

Also, another thing I noticed was that when partimage’s “save partition to image file” screen appears, it says that the “Available space for image” is only 400MB. Could this be the cause of the problem? I don’t know where this comes from, because I have GBs of space left both on the server and the client disks.

Thanks for the reply. I checked the password and it’s the same in both places.

The machine I’m trying to image has IP = 84.88.151.112 and MAC = 00:1b:78:84:bd:7a

Here are the last 4 minutes of the logs:
error.log: [url]http://pastebin.com/HiEEzn3J[/url] (lots of errors)
access.log: [url]http://pastebin.com/BmrQ9j3F[/url]

I’m using Ubuntu 12.04 and FOG .32.
My problem is that the client hangs after uploading its image to the server. This is what I see on the client:

• Image uploaded
• Task complete
  *
  *
  *
  *
  …

On the server, a folder named <mac-address> is created under /images/dev and it contains a .mbr file + several .img files. But nothing is created under /images.
