Installation and Upgrades / Re: Add Users (and Groups) in Bulk

Wow 
You're going live for 800 clients relying on beta version !!!
Good luck 

I'm an audacious man    But only 80 clients, with 800 users

You can still post here what you did and explain what doesn't work (I mean that "can someone help me" is not enough for anyone who would like to help)

Ok. I tried the script here: http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Documentation/Community/HowTo/ImportUsersInBulk
But I obtained this error:

Code: [Select]

Can't locate EBox/UsersAndGroups/User.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./creaUtenti.pl line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./creaUtenti.pl line 7.Ok, EBox/UsersAndGroups/User.pm is wrong (a change in the API?). With a 'locate' i found EBox/Samba/User.pm and EBox/Users/User.pm. Tried the second.
And this is the secon error:

Code: [Select]

Missing argument: uidWhat's the expected format for the "users" file?
Second question: How can I add the user to one or more group?

Installation and Upgrades / Add Users (and Groups) in Bulk

« on: September 02, 2013, 05:36:31 pm »

Starting from here:
http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Documentation/Community/HowTo/ImportUsersInBulk
The script doesn't work in 3.1 (UsersAndGroups is now called Users?) I tried to modify it, but my Perl programming skill aren't enough.
I've to create more than 800 users and assign them to about 30 groups (2 or more group per user). Can someone give me a hand? (I'm testing heavily the thin clients module)

My two cents. Sorry for my bad English, but I hope you can understand enough.
A thin client usually is... thin... small processor, small ram, no HD... The ISO image that is charged on it is only able to boot, start an X server and a little more (usually there's a ssh server/client for maintenance, some utility, etc.). All the other software is installed and executed ON THE SERVER, but displayed on the client. To do this you need few resources (with an LTSP server I used some Pentium 100MHz with 64MB of RAM). Theoretically you can distributed a Windows image with this server, but you need a LOT of resources, a BIG ISO image (Windows+ all the software, 2-4 GB? with 10 clients you'll have 20-40 GB of LAN traffic... some hour) and the Fat Client will become a standalone PC.
And probably (surely) you infringed the Microsoft License.
So, the answer is NO.
If you need a Windows thin client you can use a Windows Terminal server.

Hi. I'm using ebox on 2 of 3 server on my small network (40 clients, about 900 users).
Firewall/proxy for all the network, pdc/file server for students and teachers. Administrative network needs security policies that ebox 1.0 can't configure. I'm planning to switch to v1.2.
