Because this user only for Zentyal administrations works (Local-GUI, Web-GUI, SSH).
To join a domain please use "Administrator" user (Domain Admin).

but first reset the "Administrator" password:

Code: [Select]

sudo samba-tool user setpassword Administrator

try your zentyal admin user "noriel" password change with:

Code: [Select]

passwd


thanks! i managed to change my password with your guide in terminal.

but in GeneralSettings, still same IncorrectCurrentPassword.

and when joining Win7 using Administrator username and the new password. still same error.

when trying to change password for noriel, error UNABLE TO FIND USER noriel




im slowly losing my interest with this product

300-500 user is not a problem (major) in community version? it can handle the number of users just fair enough?

Hi Noriel,

besides it is communicated and it is known the the community edition is less stable and less supported than the commerial edition, my point of view is different:

I always prefer not to buy the cat in a bag. Therefere I make my mind on what I can test, use, see and feel. That´s simply the community edition. Base on my experience, I would never ever buy nor recommand the Zentyal commercial product in a productive environment. Concluded from my experiences on the community edition, I fear it will be too buggy and unstable. I am sorry, and I know that this conculsion may be wrong as it is based on the knowledge of a different product. Keep in mind we are talking about two different products.

But I am sorry, people tend to think in brands. And what I can test makes my mind on the brand "Zentyal". It may be wrong and my opinion may be too simple, but if I have problems with an Audi A3 I would not event ask for an Audi A8 ... .

In my opinion the Zentyal marketing approach is wrong - make test product like the community edition as stable as possible and convince adminstrators and dessision makes with the brand. I mean look at the market, who will / may use Zentyal or ClearOS linux servers as an MS Server / Exchange replacement. SOHOs, e.g. startups facilitating a little / no IT department. Those people can / will not afford any man power on their IT infrastructure.

On the other hand - in quite a lot of weak moments - I think about buying the commercial edition for my home environment: as a revenge! Entiteld with support I would make the support people run as fast as possible to solve my problems ... but these moments are short .... and I clam down quite fast ... 

But back from marketing to the fact. Community editions are always buggy, hard to install and problematic. I remember the trouple of 2.2. making network bridges for KVM or 3.0 ...and recently I do not manage to even clean install 3.3 or 3.4 on a dedicated hardware do the updates and integrate to my 3.0 domain in order to transfer (mail / data) accounts for a big migration ....

If you try out a community edition wait at least for 6 month after release and the worstes problems are solved or - as robb pointed out - us an older version. Anyway - such versions are nice for an home enthusiast like me with strong will, nerves, patience and a hand for linux ...


@ robb and Zentyal stuff - please excuese my opinion. I will continue to use Zentyal in my home environment 


Best regards
Thorsten

seems like your not happy about your zentyal experience in general. Am I right?

So what will you recommend as alternative to zentyal that will do the job as required/as replacement to my current setup ?

if its not allowed to mention other brand here, please privatemessage me. thank you

- Nested OU's are not (yet) supported in Zentyal. And with that GPO's are very limited (understatement)
- If you also intend to use the Exchange replacement, be aware that Openchange still is in HEAVY development.

~~~no NESTED OU. Limited GPO is ok for me.
~~~Im not using Openchange.

~~all PC in all lab is not using DHCP. all static/manual IP

please see the attachment. that's my current set up. and I want to replace the untangle and server2008r2 with Zentyal free

thanks all

thank you sir robb

followup question.

I'll be using the Community version, I'll take the risk about it..

like I said, we have server2008r2, and I want to replace this with Zentyal.. is it a good idea? can Zentyal do what W2008R2 can? PDC+AD+FileSharing?

Current set-up === PDC+AD+FileServer is WServer2008R2 --- Internet/Firewall is Untangle (free)

thanks again


we have 5 computer lab with 40pc each lab.

we have more than 300 users(students)
