Installation and Upgrades / Re: logon script not executed by simple users
« on: August 17, 2011, 10:56:29 pm »
Thanks for the suggestion, Onze. However, typos would prevent the script from working for both admins and users, which is not the case... If I give admin rights to the users, the logon script as is works fine...
I made the tests with only one statement to execute :
net use S: \\server\data /persistent:no
All users have read and write perms on this share...
If the user browses to the share with UNC, everything works fine...
Greavette, what do you mean by "this is purely a windows problem" ?
I made the tests with 3 different XP clients : 2 from a clean install and the third one with one of my own PC which works perfectly in my own domain (not zentyal PDC). I also checked the local GPOs.

Hi Greavette and thanks for your concern. Sorry for the delay, I just came back from my client.
Good to know it can work...
Already tried to add a pause in the script : for admins the script runs fine until the pause, waiting for a key stroke as expected.
For users, I already tried to execute the script by double-clicking it but nothing happens, no alerts, just as if there were nothing in it to execute. The window opens and closes at once. The pause statement is not interpreted even when I place it at the very start... before the net use statements.
Zentyal does not log anything (or I couldn't find)... Nor the windows client... !! ??
I had to install the server and the XP clients at my client today... I gave admin rights to all the users so that the shares mount, but the whole security strategy is reduced to zero... and I have lost (and will lose) a lot of time trying to solve this problem.
Now the server is in production I cannot test things easily but I will certainly setup another server this week-end to check this annoying problem.
Could you please copy the parameters of your netlogon share ?
I'm using the Zentyal defaults... Do you remember anything that you modified ?
One last precision : I'm using the 64 bits version of Zentyal. What about you ?
Thanks again...

Why not simply using the localized forums to "store" the translated howtos, one by one, maybe with a mention like "Official Howto" or as sticky posts without ability to reply or comment ?

Hi NapaEs
no what I'm talking about is completely different. Logon scripts have no relation with the web interface.
If you want your users to change their password, you need to activate the "usercorner" module which provides you with a special web interface (not the main zentyal one) for users. The UserCorner may then be browsed at https://yourserver:8888/

To check by group, you need "ifmember.exe", an executable from the NT Resource Kit which is also available on the internet.
If you search "ifmember" in the forum or google it, you'll find many examples.
IMO, logon scripts must take into account :
- the specific user
- the groups this user belongs to
- the workstation used to log in (some PCs might have special requirements or extra features based on specific hardware or software)

Installation and Upgrades / Re: HOWTO: WEBMIN installation
« on: August 16, 2011, 06:52:55 pm »I mean: if Webmin is mandatory and conflicting with Zentyal, why do you want to run both in parallel?
On the other hand, if you don't know the very detail or don't want to bother with hundreds of parameters and if Zentyal scope fits your needs, why would you take the risk to break something while using Webmin in parallel of Zentyal. Here again I'm a bit provocative but not that much
I'm not saying Zentyal is perfectbut feel that Zentyal and Webmin are not on the same shelf and not targeting same kind of user or same kind of deployment. Trying to have both at the same time is somewhat strange to me (yes, I do understand that Webmin brings some added value, I'm using it too.... but not on my Zentyal server.... anymore
Hi Christian!
I'm new to Zentyal... and I perfectly understand that Webmin and Zentyal may conflict. My goal in installing webmin was only to "use" webmin to see/check what Zentyal does "auto-magically". I was not going to modify the config thru webmin.
I just would like to know if it is possible to run webmin safely on a zentyal box. Or not... I guess not, tho this tread is labelled "HOWTO: WEBMIN installation" !!!!
I don't see the point in writing an HOWTO for things that SHOULDN'T be done...

Installation and Upgrades / Re: logon.bat question using PDC [SOLVED]
« on: August 16, 2011, 06:29:27 pm »
Thanks for your reply.
The logon script I'm using is very basic (so far) : adding shares and sync time. The very base for a PDC...
I'm trying to replace an old (but functioning) PDC, based on Samba on a CentOS 4 server, by Zentyal 2 64 Bits. Giving admin rights to all my users is NOT an option for me (nor should be for an SMB server). My XP machines have properly joined the domain and users can't open a session locally : they must validate their credentials against the PDC. No roaming profiles so far, as long as the logon script won't work.
I'd be glad if you could tell me the result of your testing.
Thanks again

Hi Greavette!
I'm having problems with the logon script not being executed for simple users. In here, it only works for users with admin privileges.
May I ask you if your users have administrator rights or not ?
TIA

Installation and Upgrades / Re: HOWTO: WEBMIN installation
« on: August 16, 2011, 12:41:25 pm »
Hi!
I recently tried the apt-get webmin install as explained by Thomas on a 2.0.22 zentyal box.
The install went to the end but notified something I couldn't interpret (about ureadahead needing to be modified after next reboot... I didn't copy the alert, sorry)
Then I modified the port used by webmin (from 10000 to 9999, not to overlap with asterisk rtp ports) and added a "service" in Zentyal using this port and finally set the firewall to let me use it ...
After this Webmin was working fine but I started to have problems with zentyal services not working anymore (roundcube or usercorner for example...)
Because of the alert, I tried to reboot the system and then Webmin stopped working...
Then I decided to uninstall it (apt-get remove...) and rebooted again the server... Zentyal then worked properly again...
Is there a better way to install webmin over Zentyal ?
I really need it to "monitor" more easily the server.
TIA..

Installation and Upgrades / logon script not executed by simple users [SOLVED]
« on: August 16, 2011, 11:54:36 am »
Hi!
I have a problem with the logon script not being executed by "simple users" (not having administrators rights).
Using Zentyal 2.0.22 and XP SP3 clients (correctly joined to the domain)
Everything works as expected for admin accounts, but when my users are simply users, the logon script is not even executed at all!
I'm using the default conf proposed by Zentyal (netlogon share and perms, zentyal-logon.bat script...). I only modified the logon.bat.mas template to add my shares and installed tofrodos package to be able to unix2dos the generated logon.bat script.
Is this "normal" ?
What is to be done so that it works for simple users ?
Thanks in advance. Any help appreciated...

French / Re: Zarafa
« on: August 13, 2011, 09:01:43 pm »
Salut
il ne faut pas mélanger "webmail" et "zarafa". Sous Zentyal, ce sont deux choses différentes.
Pour autoriser l'accès, il faut configurer le pare-feu. N'ayant pas encore testé cette configuration, je pense (sous réserve) qu'il suffit d'accepter les requêtes depuis les réseaux externes vers le service Web de Zentyal (http ou https pour le serveur virtuel où Zarafa est configuré).
Fonction du rôle de ton Zentyal mais aussi de ta config réseau (routeur/modem bridgé ?, dmz ou pas ?...), il peut aussi être nécessaire de rediriger des ports sur ton routeur...
Hope this helps...

Bonjour
tout d'abord merci pour votre implication et vos efforts pour développer une documentation francophone pour Zentyal...
Je voudrais signaler à ce propos qu'il est très difficile de profiter pleinement des "howtos" anglophones dans la mesure où quasiment aucun des howtos ne précise pour quelle version de Zentyal, voire ebox, il s'applique... Il n'y a presque jamais de dates non plus...
J'ai personnellement tendance à considérer comme "nul" ou "suspect" un tuto qui n'indique pas ce genre d'infos... En tout cas, je pense que cela n'est pas rassurant ni très "pro".
My 0.02 cents...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's my own translation to english
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, many thanks for the commitment and efforts to Zentyal community and staff...
I'd like to point your attention that most How-Tos do not contain any information allowing us to know which Zentyal version they refer to/are relevant for. They are not dated either...
I personnally consider very "suspicious" or even "null" such articles, how-tos, threads where there is no qualifying information. And I don't consider this very professional either.
PS : BTW I've noticed that the latest articles in the how-to tend to contain these informations, like platform, version, contexts, dates, authors... Good!
