« on: October 03, 2010, 01:31:42 pm »
Hi Zentyal users,

We are glad to announce the availability of the latest version of our
Active Directory synchronization package (the first with our brand new
name).

You can find all the information to download and configure it here:

http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Document/Documentation/EBoxActiveDirectorySync

As usual, your feedback will be really appreciated.

Hello, i'm new in this. I update all de modules in Zentyal 2.0 and there isn't any menu 'Mode' below menu 'Users'. Is there active this module now ?

As you can see in the guide:

"This guide also assumes that you have a fresh installation of Zentyal 2.0."

If you don't have a fresh installation, you can reset the usersandgroups module by executing:

/usr/share/ebox-usersandgroups/ebox-usersandgroups-reinstall

Note that you will lose all your LDAP data after that.

I note it says "Windows 2003" and "Windows 2008", but no specific mention of 2008R2.
Will it work? (or more to the point, how well has it been tested?)

Hi there,

Just started tinkering with the Directory Synchronizer on a couple of test boxes and i may have stumbled upon a snag. It seems international characters in Windows group names creates troubles. I can see some stuff being synchronized until it hits a group or user with for eg. åäö in its name. The AD controller is installed with Swedish language.

Heres some output from the log file in /var/log/ebox/ebox.log:

Hi,

If you upgrade to the last version of the ebox-usersandgroups package (2.0.10), you can add the name of the group that causes the problem to the /etc/ebox/ad-sync_ignore.groups file and it will be skipped.

I guess i could do that but i would personally prefer to be able to choose what groups to sync instead of specifying all the ones that shouldnt be synced.

The new 2.0.1 version has been successfully tested with 2008 R2 :)

We wish there was the possibility to choose which groups to sync instead of entering all those who should not be synchronized.
