=== Bill Rice ===
Mr. Rice is a network engineer for Roxborough Memorial Hospital in Roxborough, PA. Enjoys tinkering with all things PC. Building servers, maintaining Infrastructure, WAN, WIFI, LAN, Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL. and is learning Linux, (prefers GUI from Mint)

I have been toying around with FOG since build .30 I kinda got in a little late to the party. joined the forums a year later.
I had used fog personally and then introduce this software to the hospital I work for. I provided my own equipment to demonstrate the benefits to using it in our environment, only 1 drawback. I was a total Linux NOOB. I muddled through, configured the original PXE boot and the menu options. I provided my organization with a free alternative for cloning systems on the go while providing a method of booting systems that were corrupted, and recovering lost data. All this was made possible with the FOG software with special thanks to the hard and dedicated work of the founders, Chuck Syperski & Jian Zhang.
Also want to shout out to the additional members of the team for their hard work and the dedication that has provided you with many new updates and added features.

I had spent many hours of researching commands, investigating Linux distro's and have had many pleasures in troubleshooting Ubuntu changes.. lol now I'm a bit more familiar with FOG and its configs, I hope to offer up my experience and ability to seek out those problems/bugs that plague the everyday user so that the development team can fix them quickly.

My username on the FOG Forums is Bill Rice
Feel Free to contact me, I'll do my best to assist. As stated earlier, I'm still new to Linux but the internet is my friend :)
Good luck.
-Bill

2015-01-13T21:42:22Z

Junkhacker.21583:

= Overview =
'''NOTE: 1.x.x is a, nearly, complete rewrite from previous versions of FOG. There may be issues when upgrading from past revisions of FOG so please backup your installation before upgrading!

*Migration for v0.32 to version v1.x.x will cause you to loose the operation system information that was associated with your hosts. This information has been moved to the image item now, so you will need to update all your images to set the appropriate operating system! Please see the Migration Instructions section below for more information.

*Many successful upgrades from v0.32 have occurred. It is possible to upgrade from v0.1 all the way to v1.x.x.

----

*All commands are assumed to be run as root. If you don't have access to root, prepend the installation with sudo (ex.
<pre>sudo svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/tags/1.2.0 /opt/fog_1.2.0</pre>
<pre>sudo ./installfog.sh</pre>

== Download ==
*Three Methods currently exist:
# To get the Source from [[SVN]] (Recommended)
#* <pre>svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/tags/1.2.0 /opt/fog_1.2.0</pre>
# To get tarball file.

{{Installation}}

=== Post Install ===
# Go to the link you normally go to and you should notice the upgrade/install database screen. (http://<ip-address-of-FOG-Server/fog/management>/)
#* Click the '''Submit''' button and it should move on to say, Click here to login, once complete.
# '''Finish''' the install in the '''terminal window'''.
# '''Sign in''' into the FOG GUI with your normal user and password.
# Record ALL information on [[File:Config.png]]'''Fog Confiuration''' --> '''Fog Settings''' and [[File:Storage.png]]'''Storage management''' pages

# '''Finish''' the install in the '''terminal window'''.

== Operating System Information ==
* As the hostOS column has been moved to the images table rather than the hosts table, you need to specify the Operating system of the images currently on your system.
* To do so, login to the FOG GUI and navigate to the [[File:Images.png]]Image Management Page. Click on each of your images and set the OSID accordingly.

== Change your DHCP Option 67 ==

# Go to your DHCP server and change your Option 67 from ''pxelinux.0'' to '''undionly.kpxe''' (or other iPXE file)
#* '''Default undionly.kpxe''' (Other boot files include ipxe.kkpxe, ipxe.pxe, default.ipxe, ipxe.kpxe, undionly.pxe, pxelinux.0.old, undionly.kkpxe and even custom ones if you wish to create them)

== Congratulations ==
*You should now have an UPGRADED FOG server that will be able to perform all the tasks we've all come to know and love.

Active Directory - FOG Setting

2014-06-03T17:44:02Z

Junkhacker.21583:

==Overview==
FOG can automatically join computers to an Active Directory domain.

==Requirements==
*FOG client application installed on hosts (usually as part of the image)
*FOG server configured to join computer computers to the domain
*FOG HostNameChanger module active on server, client, and in host configuration
*FOG 0.31 and earlier may require netdom.exe on hosts

==Where to Configure==

===Turn on HostNameChanger module===
This module determines if a host will join the domain. It must be enabled in several locations for it to work properly.

*When installing or reconfiguring the FOG client application on the host, this module must be made active for the computer to auto-join the domain.
*On the host record in the fog WebUI, Active Directory menu option must be checked to enable "Join domain after image task".
*In the server webUI, FOG configuration menu option, HostNameChanger menu option on the left, service must be enabled.

===FOG Defaults===
Set the default domain, username, password, and organization unit (OU) for joining computer accounts to the domain. See [[#Syntax]] details about the values for each field.

*Web UI: Other Information -> FOG Settings

===Groups===
Set the domain, username, password, and organization unit (OU) for joining hosts to the domain for all hosts currently in this group. See [[#Syntax]] details about the values for each field.

*Web UI: Group Management
*Search for Group name or click "List Groups"
*Click on the name of the group in the list
*Active Directory option in the menu on the left

'''Note:''' This is a applied in a batch for each host in the group when saved. These settings are not stored in the group settings permanently, nor applied to future hosts automatically when added to the group.

===Individual Hosts===
Set the domain, username, password, and organization unit (OU) for joining the host to the domain. See [[#Syntax]] details about the values for each field.

*Web UI: Host Management
*Search for host name or click "List All Hosts"
*Select the host computer
*Active Directory option in the menu on the left

==Syntax==

===Domain Name===
The fully qualified domain name.

Examples:

*company
*company.ad
*company.com
*company.local

===Organizational Unit===
The organizational unit, in LDAP format.

Exmaples:

*OU=PCs,DC=company,DC=com
*OU=Lab Computers,OU=PCs,DC=company,DC=com
*[Blank] Leaving this blank will join the default OU for new PCs, usually "Computers"

===Domain Username===
The user in your domain you wish to use to add the computers to Active Directory.

[domain]\[account]

In Fog versions 1.0+ you do not need to specify the domain in the username field, it adds it automatically.
you only need to have [account]

Example:

*company\FOGServiceAccount

For Fog 1.0+

*FOGServiceAccount

'''Note: Domain does not need to be fully qualified for Domain Username'''

===Domain Password===
The password for your domain-join account, encrypted using [[FOGCrypt]].

==Testing with Netdom to troubleshoot==

Windows Command Line(cmd)

'''FOGPassword is NOT encrypted for the command line test.'''

===Join Domain===

netdom JOIN mypcHostname /Domain:SyperiorSoft /OU:FOGou /UserD:FOGUser /passwordd:FOGPassword /reboot:35

===Remove from Domain===

netdom REMOVE mypcHostname /domain:SyperiorSoft /UserD:FOGUser /passwordd:FOGPassword

Manual Migration Upgrade from 0.32 to1.0

2014-05-23T01:40:53Z

Junkhacker.21583: /* Prepare for Migration */

= Prepare for Migration =

export your host list from your old server to be imported into the new one
also, make note of the image ID numbers of the images you wish to move to the new server

install your server of choice

[[FOGUserGuide#Installing_FOG]]

if you will not be using fog for your dhcp server (and it most likely you won't be) make SURE to change your dhcp boot-filename (option 67) to undionly.kpxe

after you have logged into the fog webgui and verified that everything is working with the pxe boot menu system then proceed to create Image profiles for the images you want to bring over from your old server

you will want to enable FOG_LEGACY_FLAG_IN_GUI in Fog configuration->Fog Settings->General Settings of the webgui

= Copy over old files =
copy your old images to your new server's /images folder and make sure the name of their files matches what is listed in the Image profiles for those images and they are all set to "partimage" for Image Manager

all images made in prior versions of fog were made in partimage format, new images made with fog as of 1.0+ are partclone

make note of the image ID number in the url for the image "...edit&id=<number>" in the url

The location for snapin files has not changed from fog 0.32 to 1.0, so you may copy the snapin files to /opt/fog/snapins just like they were in the old server

= Prepare Host list for Import =

we will want to change the old image ID to the new Image ID (this is the 5th column of the exported host file)

if you kept track of the ID of the images from the old server, and their corresponding ID on the new server, it's a simple matter of replacing the old with the new

if you did not keep track of the image ID numbers, you will need to associate hosts with corresponding images manually

on the Host Management page, click "import Hosts" i think you know what to do here

= Prepare for Migration =

export your host list from your old server to be imported into the new one
also, make note of the image ID numbers of the images you wish to move to the new server

install your server of choice

[[FOGUserGuide#Installing_FOG}}

if you will not be using fog for your dhcp server (and it most likely you won't be) make SURE to change your dhcp boot-filename (option 67) to undionly.kpxe

after you have logged into the fog webgui and verified that everything is working with the pxe boot menu system then proceed to create Image profiles for the images you want to bring over from your old server

you will want to enable FOG_LEGACY_FLAG_IN_GUI in Fog configuration->Fog Settings->General Settings of the webgui
