Bloody Royal Mail journalists, they never deliver.....

Hi Guys, Is anyone using this for user account management? It looks good but i'd like to know if the SIMS synch works reliably?

Hi Guys, I've got sysprep workin now. Am I right in thinking that instead of using the -reboot switch (which I assume is for tesring) you remove that switch and allow sysprep to run on the first boot after deploying the image? Cheers, Jed

Thanks for the LDAP reference, i'll base mine on that. I have left it blank for now, just to make sure that mt AD integration is working, which it is now. I changed my Domain Name to seafordhead.e-sussex.sch.uk. I think I was over thinking it using an LDAP reference for the domain name.

It worked!!!! It was my default AD settings after all. Cheers for the help guys, Legendary as always!

I tried running that a minute ago, it came back with a syntax error. I copied it straight from the fogwiki. I am just going to run another deploy and check the fog.log to see if the client is trying to join the domain at all. Still think I may have the default active directory settings wrong.

Already tried that, I've got the hostname changer working, just the AD causing a problem. Still thinking that I've got the config wrong for the defualt AD settings.

Ran the Fogcrypt tool. Changed the hostnamechanger.dll and added it to the client. installed XP power tools on the client. Using my admin account to test as I am sure this has the rights to join to the domain. I can only assume it is my setup on the server. Hense my question about the setup of the default AD settings. Can someone give me a template of theirs, so I can compare? Cheers, Jed

Question: Should I be using LDAP format in the default AD settings to represent the domain and the OU?

I may be being a little dense here but I always thought Sysprep was just so that an image can be passed to a machine with a different hardware setup? How can this replace NewSID and apply a new SID to each rebuilt PC?

Hi Guys, Fog is running perfectly for now. The only issue is that when I take an image the task is shows as queued even as the task is running. the only way I can be sure it's running is by watching the space used increase after refreshing the web admin.... Any ideas? Cheers, Jed

Is anyone experiencing problems with this software? Our kids are moving from machine to machine to logon. I am going to ask them just to try over and over on the same machine next to eliminate the local software from the potential issue list. We think it is something to do with the NCFE server not handling large amounts of logons at once. We have also noticed this on other java/flash based explorer apps. thanks in advance, Jed

We worked on the fact that if we can't decide how legit it is then we can't be 100% sure it is legal, which is what we are told by county we need to be about this kind of thing. In short: we blocked it.

Just a note to this thread. In order to install fog I had to switch a few times between our proxy address and unfiltered address. Hope this saves some time for someone!

Got it! Thanks guys, I was using our unfiltered proxy but this wasn't working properly, I've changed to our proxy and my username password and it is working! Hoorah! Cheers guys, legendary as ever!
