Directory and Authentication / samba (I think) File share permissions zentyal 5.1
« on: November 10, 2018, 02:34:01 pm »
Hi
I administer 2 zentyal 5.1 servers and seem to have the same issue with both of them.
If I create a share and add existing users to read write access either as a user or group they
dont get access to the share when browsing over a network.
The error is either ' you dont have permission to open the share' or a prompt to enter a different user name and password.
This is on client PC's running both win 7 and 10.
What both these machines have in common is they were upgraded to 5.1 from 5.0.
I'm guessing this is a samba bug.
Has anyone encountered this?

Directory and Authentication / SOLVED Windows 10 not applying group policy on standard users
« on: February 25, 2018, 12:14:19 am »
I have three Zentyal 5.1 servers in the field as it were all functioning as DC's. I use the default domain policy with roaming profiles (the roaming profiles was set in the zentyal admin webpage) and a couple of drive maps.
All the PC's are 'joined to the domain'
On windows 7 PC's when regular users log in the roaming profiles and drive maps work perfectly.
However on windows 10 PC's unless the users are administrators (members of the admin and schema admin group) neither the roaming profiles or drive maps work and often it logs in with a temp profile.
A check of the system events shows the following error;
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\test.local\sysvol\test.local\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini from a domain controller and was not successful. Group Policy settings may not be applied until this event is resolved. This issue may be transient and could be caused by one or more of the following:
a) Name Resolution/Network Connectivity to the current domain controller.
b) File Replication Service Latency (a file created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
c) The Distributed File System (DFS) client has been disabled.
I can browse to and open the gpt.ini with no problems as a standard user.
If I then add the user to the admin group the issue goes away.
This issue affects all the zentyal 5 setups I have in exactly the same way including a test one. The windows 10 version is the latest creators edition.
I am certain anyone else using the win 10 creators version and zentyal 5 will be hitting the same issue!
Has anyone solved it?

Installation and Upgrades / Samba shared directory access for lftp
« on: January 29, 2016, 01:05:43 pm »
Hi,
I have a zentyal 4.2 server and was planing to backup using lftp. I have created (using sudo via the command line) a crontab and basic backup script. the problem is my adm (that I use to log in via putty) account has no access to the /home/samba directory and as suck backs up everything in the home dir except for the shares!
How can I give my adm access to the folder without affecting the other users and existing ACL's?

Installation and Upgrades / Zentyal 4.2 no hardware devices Eth0 display
« on: November 17, 2015, 08:49:27 pm »
I have a server running 4.2 upgraded from 4.0 & 4.1. I had problems ( services not starting with the server & 100% cpu usage) with the 3.16.0-52-generic kernel and I purged it
and it installed 3.16.0-53-generic and I had the same issue so I purged again -53 and used apt-get to install 3.16.0-51-generic.
Since then it boots but all the hardware has gone, no video drivers and no network drivers. Lo is loading fine.
Is this broken now or can it be fixed?!

Installation and Upgrades / Frustrating install routine
« on: July 30, 2015, 08:27:05 pm »
Not so much a rant, more a lesson learned!
I had to do a server for a growing business, basic needs ATM however basic domain, 10 users maybe mail in the future.
So I did my research and found Zentyal and thought great! So I downloaded the free version and tried to install it (I have set a few basic Debian servers and can get about OK on them). So I go to install it and predictably run into issues straight away. The disk partition tool simply doesn't work, asks me if I want to use an intel raid with Mdam containers and next if I want to use the sata drives. No matter what I press there is no option to actually define partitions all I get is; no defined root partition please set one.
Time is tight and so I have a brain wave. I buy MS server 2012, 20 mins later it has installed without a hitch and two hours later I have a domain with VPN, all the shares and a free mail server running I got from the tinternet!
My point is I realized today why all I see in offices are MS servers, yes they cost, however the £250 to buy it suddenly seems great value for money instead of wasting hours trying to get Zentyal going. Its very sad as I love Linux, however it simply isn't up to scratch. I thought I would share my experience even if I do get flamed and slated for my post.
