Thanks Morganw, Has anyone used this service before? And know what files to upload to it? I'm scared I'll upload the wrong files and nuke the clients Cheers

Hi guys I updated our FOG server from 0.28 to 0.29 and am loving some of the new features. My only issue currently is how do I upgrade the clients with the 0.28 FOG clients to the 0.29 FOG client? I've noticed that using the FOG 0.28 client does most things but it breaks the green FOG service that turns off the computers at a set time. We are running a server 2003/XP professional network. Thanks guys

Hi everyone! I installed FOG 6 months ago on a random PC to test it out. Due to its stellar performance I put in for a new server funding dedicated to it and have only just recieved the funds for this. My problem is that I have got over 100 hosts and about 6 images plus some snapins. How do I go about moving the whole FOG installation to another box with a different IP address but also have all the current hosts talk to the new server? Both FOG boxes are running Ubuntu if it makes a difference. Has anyone done this? Steve

Unfortunately I couldn't find a fix for this I just had to live with the fact I would have to go round and manually add the PCs to the domain. It will still do the name change at least.

I recently upgraded our lowly 1 exchange 2003 box to exchange 2007 and am absolutely love it! One thing is that the newer exchange's are RAM thirsty pigs. Fill em with as much RAM as possible!

Bit of a bump if anyone can help me! I really want to use Joomla and this theme for my school, but the articles not centering is not helping! I've attached an image below. http://i459.photobucket.com/albums/qq315/Stevoid20/error.jpg

Anyone? It's something to do with the CSS coding of the articles but I cant figure out what!

Hi all I downloaded the EduGeek Joomla package hoping to use it for my schools intranet page and am running into occasional griefs. Like when I go to edit school dates or school profile, the images and text NEVER center no matter how many times I click the center button. Anyone else run into this and have a workaround/fix? Cheers Steve

I can ping it, and the IP/DNS settings are fine. I can even log onto the fog server in IE on the client machine.

I like the idea of FOG because it will rename the PC to what I want (eg RM50-01, room 50, PC 1) and can see groups so it dumps them into corresponding OUs.

Hi all, long time reader first time poster here. I love what you have going for IT education workers! I've been looking at rolling out FOG over Ghost for quite a while and finally have some spare time to do so. I've setup a spare machine with Ubuntu 8.10 and installed FOG, added the Active directory information and made sure the password was encrypted using FOGCrypt. Also doublechecked there were no spaces before or after the encrypted password. Made my Sysprep image with the FOG client installed. I can remotely boot and upload the image to the FOG server, but after I reboot the client machine and sit at the logon screen waiting for it to add to the domain, it does nothing! I've logged onto the machine and copied the fog.txt file 25/11/2009 9:45 AM FOG::UserTracker Record processed by server! 25/11/2009 9:45 AM FOG::DirCleaner Failed to connect to fog server! 25/11/2009 9:45 AM FOG::DirCleaner The operation has timed out 25/11/2009 9:45 AM FOG::DirCleaner at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadDataInternal(Uri address, WebRequest& request) at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(Uri address) at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(String address) at FOG.DirCleaner.doWork() 25/11/2009 9:45 AM FOG::DirCleaner Sleeping for 1 minute. 25/11/2009 9:45 AM FOG::GreenFog Failed to connect to fog server! 25/11/2009 9:45 AM FOG::GreenFog The operation has timed out 25/11/2009 9:45 AM FOG::GreenFog at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadDataInternal(Uri address, WebRequest& request) at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(Uri address) at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(String address) at FOG.GreenFog.doWork() 25/11/2009 9:45 AM FOG::GreenFog Sleeping for 1 minute. 25/11/2009 9:45 AM FOG::ClientUpdater Failed to connect to fog server! 25/11/2009 9:45 AM FOG::ClientUpdater The operation has timed out 25/11/2009 9:45 AM FOG::ClientUpdater at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadDataInternal(Uri address, WebRequest& request) at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(Uri address) at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(String address) at FOG.SnapinClient.startUpdate() 25/11/2009 9:45 AM FOG::ClientUpdater Sleeping for 1 minute. 25/11/2009 9:46 AM FOG::HostRegister Failed to connect to fog server! 25/11/2009 9:46 AM FOG::HostRegister The operation has timed out 25/11/2009 9:46 AM FOG::HostRegister at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadDataInternal(Uri address, WebRequest& request) at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(Uri address) at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(String address) at FOG.HostRegister.registerHost() 25/11/2009 9:46 AM FOG::HostRegister Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 25/11/2009 9:46 AM FOG::HostRegister at FOG.HostRegister.registerHost() 25/11/2009 9:46 AM FOG::SnapinClient The operation has timed out 25/11/2009 9:46 AM FOG::SnapinClient at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadDataInternal(Uri address, WebRequest& request) at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(Uri address) at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(String address) at FOG.SnapinClient.startWatching() 25/11/2009 9:46 AM FOG::GUIWatcher Message found, attempting to notify GUI! 25/11/2009 9:46 AM FOG::GUIWatcher Dispatch OK! 25/11/2009 9:46 AM FOG::GreenFog Attempting to connect to fog server... 25/11/2009 9:46 AM FOG::UserTracker Unable to replay journal, no server connection found. 25/11/2009 9:46 AM FOG::ClientUpdater Attempting to connect to fog server... 25/11/2009 9:47 AM FOG::DirCleaner Module is active... 25/11/2009 9:47 AM FOG::DirCleaner Determining which directories should be cleaned... 25/11/2009 9:48 AM FOG::GreenFog Module is active... 25/11/2009 9:48 AM FOG::ClientUpdater Failed to connect to fog server! 25/11/2009 9:48 AM FOG::ClientUpdater The operation has timed out 25/11/2009 9:48 AM FOG::ClientUpdater at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadDataInternal(Uri address, WebRequest& request) at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(Uri address) at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(String address) at FOG.SnapinClient.startUpdate() 25/11/2009 9:48 AM FOG::ClientUpdater Sleeping for 1 minute.
