Installation and Upgrades / upgrade to 6.2.5 from 6.2.4 chashed server
« on: December 31, 2020, 04:05:36 pm »
I upgraded to 6.2.5 this morning. At first it errored with an apt error about the certificate but I found online where to correct that and ran the update.
Now Zentyal is not running right. I have no GUI, domain control, etc.
The main error I am seeing is in the zentyal.log
Code: [Select]
EBox::WebAdmin::_CAs - Ignoring CA /var/lib/zentyal/conf/remoteservices/subscription/zdomain/cacert.pem: cannot read the file or not is a regular file

I checked the status of each module (zs module status)
The only one that shows as stopped is webadmin.

I am not an expert here but is that not saying that the only issue is the cert file (.pem) is corrupted? and if so can I reissue from CLI or is that anything to do to restore the GUI so I can issue it?

Thanks. Maybe I'll just clone the drive and test with that

Our backup Zentyal server crashed so I will need to build up a replacement.

By default I always reach for the trusty backup, but is that best? We run domain, AD, and DHCP.
Once I set it as an additional controller will it just come up. I know I have to manually copy the GPO's
Is it better to just have a fresh install or go with the backup? Note the secondary server has been down for over a week. If I restore from a backup that was a week old that would restore a 2 week old server.

For the next person who needs it. The NET command did work but I have to use IP's and not host names.

I fould this online. Should this work on a pair of 6.2 if run on the ADC as SU?

Code: [Select]
sudo net rpc share migrate files sysvol \
    -k --destination={nameofADC.DOMAIN.lan} \
    -S {nameofPDC.DOMAIN.lan} --acls \
    -U "DOMAIN\\AdminAccountName"

Other modules / Hand copy GPO to backup domain server? [SOLVED]
« on: September 02, 2020, 02:01:32 pm »
I am loosing the fight to get rsync to copy my group policys to our 2nd Zentyal (6.2.3) server.

While I try to get that working is it posible to just copy the GPO's from the main Zentyal and replace the old unupdated ones on the 2nd server?
Would it be that simple to get it working right away?


23
We have 2 Zentyal servers to handle our active directory.
The PDC is on an old work station and I want to get it upgraded to a real server.

Will it be as simple as moving the drive(s) to the new case and fire it off? I have done that with other Linux servers in the past but not sure how it will work on a Zentyal server


Thanks for any info

Directory and Authentication / Re: GPO issues (rsync sysval?)
« on: August 12, 2020, 01:53:46 pm »
:)

Yes, it's the officially proposed workaround. It doesn't depends on the samba4 version.

PS: Bear in mind that it isn't a bi-directional solution. Only one of the sysvol is synchronized in the rest of the sysvols, so, the GPOs have to be ever created in the "one" domain controller.

Cheers!
Great thanks.
I went to get started and already ran into a problem. It says to add /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/  as the path, but there is no local/samba/ folder. Does Zentyal place it somewhere else

Directory and Authentication / GPO issues (rsync sysval?)
« on: August 10, 2020, 09:26:49 pm »
We have 2 Zentyal domain servers running (Controller and an Additional)
I am trying to work on our Domain Group policy by adding some OU's with their own GPO's.

It does not seem to be working. After hunting online I read that you had to set up Rsync to copy the SysVol files.

Does anyone know if this is correct with version 6.2? I don't want to make things worse!

Here is the site I was sent to;

Other modules / How to use dns to redirect url (youtube.com)?
« on: March 19, 2020, 01:33:34 pm »
I am using 6.1 as my domain AD server. Enabled transparent DNS cache.

What I wouold like to do is redirect anyone who tries to go to youtube.com to one of our servers with a web page that this site is blocked. I know this is sort of easy in window$ DNS manager. How do I do it in Zentyal?

27
So if we have/had 3 DC and right now all 3 are set to additional and seem to be handing out logins correctly what problems am I looking at in the future without having any set as the prime?

28
So even if I roll out another server and make it the primary it will never pull the users, passwords and computers?

No backup - restore users option?

29
I have 3 Zentyal boxes (6.0.1, 5.1.1, 6.0.1) Our main DC crashed and I loaded a new one but it came up also as additional. When I go to change it to the main Domain Controller it says the database will be reprovisioned and all computers will need to rejoin the domain.

Is this true? Will I need to go to every workstation, remove them from the domain, rejoin them? Or is that saying I will need to just reboot them?

Also, promoting it will keep all user accounts correct?

I had our main domain server crash when I tried to upgrade to 6.0. I ended up doing a fresh install of 6.0 and setting it as an ADC so now I have my two domain controllers set as Additional.

Is it as simple as changing the new 6.0 to DC and it will keep all the users and computers it collected?

I can't have another 1/2 day down
