Installation and Upgrades / Re: Move Zentyal to new network - new IP and new default gateway

« on: January 12, 2022, 08:30:15 am »

I did find a way to do this:

• Add new virtual interface with IP address in the new network (not that IP the server should have)
• Logg in to the new IP address via webb GUI
• Set the new IP for default gateway
• Change to the new IP address under Network Interface
• Remove the virtual interface created in first point

Installation and Upgrades / Move Zentyal to new network - new IP and new default gateway -- SOLVED

« on: January 11, 2022, 04:40:15 pm »

Hi,
I have installed som Zentyal servers with Active Directory and DNS. Now we have rebuilt our networks and I have to move the servers to a new network. I have to set new IP addresses and set new default gateway.
How could I do this?

I have tested to change the IP in /etc/network/interfaces and I can connect to the the new IP address on the new network via the web GUI. I cannot change the IP and DGW because som error messages.

Other modules / Re: DNS does not woek

Hi again, sorry for the late answer.
There were no problem with DNS in Zentyal. It was Ubuntu (client and server) - system2-resolved are enabled as standard in Ubuntu 17.10 and later versions. systemd-resolved finds DNS servers on their own and ignores the settings made on the server or via DHCP. After disable and removed systemd-resolved everything is working like expected.

I have restarted the DNS module with no luck.
Which log files can be of interest?

Other modules / SOLVED - DNS does not work

« on: January 30, 2019, 09:59:56 pm »

Hi,
I'm trying to use Zentyal 6 as DNS. It is not working. I have reinstalled the server several times with the same problem. Occasionally the DNS can resolve one name but then it stopps answering. I use the Hostname tab under DNS Domains to add the hostnames and their IP adresses.

Should Zentyal be able to act DNS server?

Directory and Authentication / Re: Error joinin Zentyal 5 server to another Zentyal 5.0 domain

« on: March 13, 2018, 04:09:26 pm »

I found the problem (I think so). I probably had set wrong Netbios name. I did set it to the existing servers Netbiosname. I reinstalled the new server and when joining the domain I set it to the new servers name and all worked well.

Hi,
I'm trying to add a second Zentyal 5.0 server as additional domain controller to an existing Zentyal 5.0 server. I get the following error:

Some modules reported error when saving changes . More information on the logs in /var/log/zentyal/

Directory and Authentication / Add new attribute in AD/LDAP

« on: October 16, 2017, 04:02:30 pm »

Hi,
today we use Windows Active Directory but my goal is to skip this and use two Zentyal servers as domain controllers. I have tested and most features seem to work directly. I have some concerns and one of them is how do I add new attributes to AD / LDAP?
On our Windows Active Directory we have added attributes to indicate if people are absent and how long, if they are in the management team, whether they are department managers, etc. Unfortunately, I have not managed to create new attributes in Zentyals AD / LDAP. I have used Apache Directory Studio and get a lot of different error codes at the end.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Sincerely
Pelle Hanses

Installation and Upgrades / Is it possible to have an extra server only handles some mailboxes

« on: June 12, 2015, 11:56:20 am »

Hi,
We have some offices where we have slow and poor data connection. Is it possible to put a Zentyal server there, and there are only replicated email, calendars, etc. for the staff of that office? We prefer not to replicate all data that lands on our primary mail server. We have Ad groups for each office.
