Yes you CAN do imaging without the client installed but things like
Hostname Changer will NOT WORK. You are indeed correct. Now to
install the client and try again.
Thanks, Scott.
FOG Rocks....
Quoting Scott Williams <[email protected]>:
The red exclamation mark is not a show stopper, I've fogged a number
of labs with that showing. My guess is it's trying to hit a local
DNS to resolve my hostname.
You do have the Fog Client installed on the host machines,....right?
I've learned you CAN do imaging without the client , but then many
of the abilities like hostname changing is not available.
While on the host machine, go to http://FOGSERVERIP/fog/client/ and
install the FOG Client Service if you have not already.

Not here. I started 8 computers in a task for deployment and
walked away. Came back several hours later. The computers were
finished with the deployment and had rebooted but the hostnames
were not changed. I do have that it turned on. I tried looking at
the online manual but there was nothing. On each of my hosts on the
server's host list there is a red exclamation point - Unable to
resolve hostname MMS-GOLD-01. Any ideas?
Thanks.

First make sure it's enabled in the Fog Services on the server.
You probably did that.
Next, be patient, What I saw while imaging is that the client
will go through a couple reboots immediately after it gets an image.
It appears the dirty bit is turned on and it goes through a
complete chkdsk, reboots,
It then comes back up and if your lucky, you'll see a small
dialogue box come up saying it's going to change the hostname.,
reboots, then I think it will come up cleanly with the specified
hostnames.
This is what I've seen happen.

Does anyone have any experience with the hostname changer in FOG?
I have re-imaged a lab but the hostnames are not being changed.
Any advice would be appreciated.
TIA
