Installation and Upgrades / Re: Multi-Branch support in Zentyal 4.0

« on: October 06, 2014, 12:45:43 am »

I asked the Samba guys in their IRC channel and they said its kind of untested but should work, there might be some problems with the caching as far as I understood. They also said the wiki article is outdated and someone should update that, whoever that someone might be

I think I will implement a small testsystem with a few VMs, maybe I get this going.

Installation and Upgrades / Multi-Branch support in Zentyal 4.0

« on: September 06, 2014, 01:59:01 pm »

Hello!

I would like to use Zentyal 4.0 to rebuild the complete Windows Domain Infrastructure at our company. We have three offices and at the moment, each office has its own Server and each Server is its own Domain and everything is separated.

I would like to change that and have a main Office with the PDC and the other two offices with only RODC (read only domain controller). Is this setup possible with zentyal and has someone actually tried this in production already? The offices are connected over a standard ADSL connection, but one is only connected with 3g. Therefore the "resync" after a lost connection to the PDC must be stable in order for this to work.

Hope a few of you have some experiences to share.

Installation and Upgrades / [Zentyal 2.2] duplicity unable to restore deleted files

« on: December 13, 2013, 01:22:23 pm »

Hi Guys!

I have a Problem with duplicity: it is unable to restore my deleted files. All other files are there, but that exact folder which is missing in the filesystem since yesterday is missing in the backup, too.
Can someone please tell me whats wrong with my duplicity call:

duplicity --time 3D --file-to-restore home/samba/shares/<path> file:///mnt/<backupdrive> restore/

Installation and Upgrades / Re: 3G failover

« on: September 25, 2013, 01:01:20 am »

I have a shellscript in cron (every five minutes) for this, it pings a few servers and if none works, it assumes network connection is down. it then starts the ppp connection script for the 3G connection and does some stuff like opening a reverse ssh connection to another server. I'm only using this as backup remote control, but you should get a similar thing to work for you.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: branch office or multiple office config

just thought I would share my findings: http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Documentation/Community/Document/MultipleZentyal

btw, why isn't that in the official Documentation?

@tomdavidson: do you want to synchronize all your files above all your offices? in "realtime" or just once a day?

no, I'm not planning to. Every branch gets it own subnet (10.1.*.*; 10.2.*.* and so on) and these subnets are connected through OpenVPN from server to server. All other traffic is routed directly into the Internet, without going through a VPN. Local traffic stays local, of course.

Hi! I'm currently planning something similar, and the documentation isn't very useful unfortunately.

I didn't test this jet but what should work:
1.) setup a Headquarter server with PDC and samba LDAP
2.) connect this server via openvpn with all your branches
3.) make the branch-server zentyal slaves: http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Documentation/Directory
4.) setup filesharing

I don't need much people to have access to the files of another branch, but the centralized user management is nice. I will set this up in a few days for testing purposes, I hope it will work this way
