Installation and Upgrades / Re: How many users Zentyal can support?
« on: October 05, 2014, 10:10:05 am »
We run a zentyal server in our elementary school:

PDC controller
DNS
NTP
File and print server
Intranet web server

There are 50 windows client pc's in the domain.
The teachers use smart boards connected to a windows client pc in the network.
The students work with education applications on the client pc ( graphical applications )
The administration data is also stored on the server.

There are 60 user accounts on the pdc to logon on the server.

Hardware: server Intel dual core processor 2,3 Ghz 4Gb RAM and twoo harddisks.

The Zentyal server( community release ) works already a  few years perfect in our network.

Best regards,
Ian

Thanks for the reply, my problem has to do with windows client pc's connect to a Zentyal 4.0 PDC.
There is no MS server involved in my network.

I think that there is still some work to do in communication with the zentyal server.

Webmin with nginx

1    Like in the Webmin config, if you’re wanting this on a different /path, then change this.
nginx Configuration

Nginx needs to know two things:

    Where do Webmin and Usermin ‘live’
    What alterations (if any) should nginx make to returning proxied requests?

Let’s go ahead and set up the nginx config as follows — under your SSL-enabled host configuration:

server {
        listen xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443; 1
        server_name www.example.com; 1
        ssl on;

        ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/your_ssl_cert.pem; 2
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/your_ssl_private_key.pem; 2

        ...

        location /webadmin/ { 3
            proxy_redirect http://www.example.com:10000/ https://www.example.com/webadmin/; 3
            proxy_pass http://localhost:10000/;
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
        }

        location /useradmin/ { 3
            proxy_redirect http://www.example.com:20000/ https://www.example.com/useradmin/; 3
            proxy_pass http://localhost:20000/;
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
        }

        ...

}

To delete computer account you must be root on the server.

Hello,

I have installed Zentyal 4.0 on a test machiene, installation no problems.
On a Windows client te server could not be seing in the browser and the windows explorern administration gui on a windows client works.
DNS is ok and defined in the windows client.
My installation consist of the modules: Domain controller and file sharing, dns server, antivirus and printers.

Is there a need to install an other module so dat windows clients could connect to de zentyal 4.0 server ?

Best regards,
Ian

Robb,

Mooi initiatief en dank voor het reeds geleverde werk.
Het interesseert mij uitermate, niet alleen het meer bekend maken maar ook de ontmoeting met anderen die met Zentyal bezig zijn.

Ik kijk al uit naar een eerste samenkomst.

Groetjes,
Ian

Hello,

Install Webmin on the server then you are able to delete computer accounts.

Use Wemin only as an extra control for the server ( automate backups etc. ) not for configuration of the zentyal server.

In the latest release of zentyal webmin works not always from a client pc in the network ( this is since zentyal do not use apache2 anymore fore the administration gui ).

Best regards,
Ian

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Access to other users home folder
« on: September 11, 2014, 10:18:28 am »
Hello,

I install Zentyal not from the ISO file and cd.

Install Ubuntu server 14.04, select OpenSSH server and LAMP server.
configure the user " root "
install xinit
install lxde desktop ( beter file manager then these from out of the box ).
install firefox
install gparted
adapt sources.list for Zentyal ( see Zentyal documentation for the references )
adapt GPG key

Now install the zentyal options for a file server install zentyal-office a,d zentyal-infrastructure

You have nowe the full control over the server ( logon as root ).
Lxde is compleet with a verry good file manager.
If you like it is possible to start the server without the server desktop ( less resouces needed on the server )

So this is in brief the installation of a Zentyal server incuden ssh

Best regards,
Ian

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Access to other users home folder

Hello,

If you have windows clients in the domain, install winscp on a windows client.
Start winscp and connect to the domain controller with root privileges.
Now you can access al the home directories of the users.

Best regards,

Hallo,

Mijn ervaring is dat upgrade naar een nieuwe versie problemen geeft met het restoren van de configuratie ( backup config oude versie > restore nieuwe versie ) vooral dan voor het Samba gebeuren.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: FQDN or .lan
« on: August 23, 2014, 11:40:58 am »
Hi,

The FQDN we used in our Zentyal file server is the domainname registered by the dns provider.

We have hfamilie.be as FQDN so we use the name for the file and printserever as for the website ( www.hfamilie.be ) aswell.

So the FQDN of the server is schoolserver.hfamilie.be and the netbios name is schoolserver for the lan domain hfamilie.be

in the domain option in the Zential Gui you can find the definitions of the names.

Best regards,
Ian

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Making Zentyal More
« on: August 19, 2014, 08:52:32 am »
Hello,

Use f.i. Ipcop as a gateway , dhcp and vpn server.
It seams logic that Zentyal is a file/print- and mail server in is primary function and domain controller.

So it is also not good idea to have all the functions in one and the same machine.

Best regards,
Ian

News and Announcements / Re: Zentyal 4.0 Roadmap Published!
« on: July 23, 2014, 01:03:17 pm »
Hello,

What is the alternative for the data backup in the new release ?
Backup the configuration is a must, but also a backup of the data is a must.

So if Zentyal drops duplicity, why the do not implement an other data backup item in the new release 4.0 ?

Best regards,
Ian
