Installation and Upgrades / zentyal 3 remove user home drive
« on: January 18, 2013, 09:42:12 pm »
I have a zentyal 3+ server and i would like to NOT give each user a mapped home drive or at least change the drive letter. We are already using H: in our company and the server is forcing H: to be the user's home.

How can i stop this behavior? I cannot find it in the smb.conf.mas file

this is related to this topic: http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,13730.0.html

thanks

Installation and Upgrades / Zentyal 3 user logon.bat
« on: January 18, 2013, 09:32:22 pm »
I'm trying to implement a logon.bat script like I had on my 2.0 machine. The old one was /home/samba/netlogon/zentyal-logon.bat

from reading the smb.conf.mas in 3.0 i gather the logon.bat file should be placed in /var/lib/samba/sysvol/domain/scripts/ and named as logon.bat. i have done this and chmod 664 the file. well, its not working.

how do i apply a "logon.bat" file to my domain members in zentyal 3+

Installation and Upgrades / (CLOSED) Zentyal and FreeNAS LDAP setup
« on: November 07, 2012, 08:55:47 pm »
Ok kids, I've figured it out. There were a few things I kept getting hung up on. This works for me:

Setup your Zentyal box

During the initial install i chose DHCP. DON'T DO THAT

Configure you're static IP for the server, PLEASE GO STATIC DURING THE INITIAL INSTALL NOT AFTER. Enter your information, gateway, dns etc... correctly during the setup.

I then choose the Office setup and accepted the changes, reboot updated.
Make sure your modules are enabled under "Core > Module Status" in the Zentyal web interface. Need to at least have "Users and Groups" and "File Sharing" do be able to use LDAP

Change the firewall "Gateway > Firewall > Packet Filter" "Filtering rules from internal networks to Zentyal" and edit LDAP changing it to "ACCEPT" so you can bind to the LDAP in zentyal on port 390 and browse users.

Make a few users so we can check that we are binding later. You can delete the user after things are working if you like.

Go to "Office > Users and Groups > LDAP Settings" and leave this page open. This is the info you will need in the FreeNAS box


Setup your FreeNAS 8.3+ box

Nothing special here just go to services after install, click on the wrench next to LDAP to configure it.

Hostname: 10.0.0.10:390 (enter the ip address of the Zentyal box and the port 390)
BaseDN: from the LDAP Settings page in Zentyal
Allow Anonymous Binding: Unchecked
Root bind DN: from the LDAP Settings page in Zentyal
Root bind password: from the LDAP Settings page in Zentyal
Password encryption: clear
User Suffix: ou=Users
Group Suffix: ou-Groups
Password Suffix: leave blank
Machine Suffix: leave blank
Encryption Mode: Off
Self signed certificate: not needed
Auxiliary Parameters: defaults from FreeNAS are fine

Click OK,
and enable the LDAP service. If it starts then all should be good. if not, check your IP and port numbers.

Click on "Shell" in the menu of FreeNAS and type

Code: [Select]
getent passwd
Look for the users you made in the Zentyal box. If you see them than everything should be ok with LDAP now.

make your shares and turn on your sharing services and then test that you can browse to them.

best,
dan

I'm trying to get my freenas to get its users from the Zentyal LDAP server.
I can bind Anonymous and see the tree but cannot get user info while Anonymous.

I tried to use the info from https://ip/Users/Composite/Settings


but they don't work in the freenas or in Softerra LDAP Administrator, I get invalid credentials and cannot get any further. I have tried multiple combinations of the Root DN without success.

What am I missing?

Fresh install, i cannot get file sharing enabled so i can setup zentyal as a Domain Controller for a windows domain.
I've been using zentyal since it was eBox (1.2 i think) and the samba 4 implementation has me puzzled.

Can someone provide good examples for the DNS configuration and anything else to be able to get this thing running correctly. i have no idea what to put in here.

hi all
trying to upgrade mny 2.0 to 2.2 in prep for the 3.0 and its failing.
i cannot get my backups to work and cannot connect to the cloud.
basically my 2.0 server is barely hanging on and any test i run with a clone fails miserably.
all its being used for is a directory server for a bunch of windows machines is acting as the domain controller.
i would like to be able to export my users and anything else and restore it to a new install of 3.0, all withoutt my windows clients freaking out that the DC has changed
any ideas?

maybe setup a slave zentyal 3.0 sync with the 2.0 master then promote the 3.0 be the PDC

no mail or other services in use, mainly users and groups

has anyone done this?

migrate:
  • domain controller
  • exchange server (look forward to zafara!)
  • shares
  • CA
  • VPN

i have AD sync running and a bunch of windows 7 machines.

i feel that a well written tut would go a long way!!!

clicking the rollup button (or is it the minimize?) makes firefox unavailable until exit. shouldn't it still be in the dock? or alt+tab? maybe as "eBox" in the right click menu of the desktop.
also do we need 4 workspaces?

Installation and Upgrades / please expound on the term "disk quota"
« on: November 18, 2009, 03:31:33 am »
when the term "disk quota" is referenced, both in the manual and in the interface, what exactly is it referring to?
is it the amount of data a user can read, write, store or execute (just covering all of the CHMODs) and does it have a time limit?

can you include the definition in the manual and/or in the interface?

thx

Good day and thank you for all the hard work. I just started getting into eBox, coming from a SBS2003 environment for years and trying to figure out the equivalents. I am testing my first eBox  and saw that v1.4 is coming down the pipe, but I also have a quandary. Are the official releases based on the LTS ubuntu versions? If so shouldn't eBox 1.4 be scheduled for release in April? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS

I see that as of now all the docs reference a January 1.4 release.

Also is there any online comparison or equivalency chart ???, for admins like me wanting to shut the door on m$ servers, that details packages available in linux for things like IIS, Active Directory Users and Computers and Exchange Server? I think I will try to make one if not but I'm a DOS baby ;D that has been learning linux for a few years now in the free time.

All the best, and keep it up!!
