Dear Zentyal Developers,
First of all, congratulation and best of luck, continuously working for the improvement of the product. I found Zentyal the only easy to use server for the SMBs.
1. Combination of Zentyal Server and Zentyal Ubuntu Desktop, will help the administrators, who would like to implement complete integrated opensource setup in his network. In other words it can immediately replace the M$ Client server setup in any SMB.
2. Configuration backup is great, but there should be a remote (within network) incremental backup of data and restore options, because still in may countries bandwidth is still not cheap. I am using rdiffbackup for the purpose.
Again thanks for developing such a nice product.

what i think must be done is building a simple lightweight desktop based un ubuntu witch should be logging in against the zentyal ldap db...I think this could be an immediate and handy solution ...
if you want roaming profiles it should also mount mount a remote directory as its profile dir in /home/$username$ but thats not part of the SSO ...
while reading this document - creating a ubuntu iso with these packages preconfigured ..

I do agree that the Win$ driven SMB market will soon be a history (and I will be happy as soon as this will happen 
), but the current fact is that, linux Administrator (to be) are facing problem in transformation, which is an ultimate setback to the 'open' movement in network server 
.
This is also a fact that small and medium organizations will continue with their network and provide their internal resources to the users in this manner. (it will take time that everything / process will be on cloud, where small organisations are more concern about their security) Or Zentyal provide an innovative mode of providing so, by technology leapfrogging ..
This is also a fact that many of the network will have win$ and Linux users, working together (atleast for coming few years
).
And as far as I know, Zentyal is most appropriate for such organisations, thus we should focus on this issue ...

I do agree with robb, I am trying hard to completely switch over to Zentyal and Ubuntu combination (but currently having few windows, which I can not immediately convert). Where as it would be easy for me to convert normal user to Ubuntu, If I can provide features similar or better than windows networking.
I have read, NFS which pointed me to NIS, than Samba, OpenLDAP, which finally zeroed to Zentyal Desktop. But Zentyal Desktop is in beta version and no further development is there. Still I am planning to Implement it in production ....(in the way jsalamero suggested)
We are waiting for SSO ...

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Replacing the harddisk.
« on: July 30, 2011, 06:49:33 am »
Do i need to partition the disk in same way as of the old one ?
No, you may partition new server of your wish
And i guess installing Zentyal 2.3 needs live internet connection.
I have yet not tested on Zentyal 2.3, but it works fine on 2.0.X, and should work on 2.3 as well
Can i do it offline ?
you can do it offline, Internet is required for updating Zentyal
Or it's fine if i assign a different ip to the new server install it via internet & later just import the configuration ?
Initially, you may give different IP (for setup purpose), as soon as you restore the configuration, it will restore the IP address also.
Caution: keep the server disconnected while restoring the configuration, otherwise it will create ip confilct as soon as configuration is restored
Secondly i don't have both the hard drives identical so will the cloning help ? My old disk is 500GB & new is 250GB. As of now i am using only squid & firewall on it, so don't need much storage over it.
Hard-disk size doesn't matter, as you have only squid and firewall, 250GB is more than sufficient.
Caution: but take care of the size of "/root" folder atleast 10 GB, otherwise soon your server will freeze by low sapce and stop working.
Conceptually, it will just take the complete configuration, including user & Group credentials and restore on new server, thus hardware of new server doesn't matters ...

Yes ... Now two very simple question ...
1. I have setup PDC, how ubuntu users can access their resources
2. Zentyal has eased the working of Administrator, lots of things working out of the box. How any Zentyal administrator can handle the transaction with ease specially when Windows and Ubuntu both are in network ....
hope you can understand my pain ...

Dear Christian, I am extremely sorry if i have hurt somebody, but I too currently want to have the mix of Zentyal -> Windows + Ubuntu clients, for easy penetration of Ubuntu, and convert to only Zentyal + Ubuntu only. For that I am in search of "howto" which works cross Ubuntu and Windows.
If you have that please forward me the same ....I am desperate to do so ....

I would like to completely switch over to open source, for which I have selected Zentyal as a server and Ubuntu at the clients (where currently user are at Win$), in such scenario administrator as well as users are intent to stick with M$ (even with combination of Zentyal).
Zentyal is working perfectly, but the Linux / Ubuntu / Zentyal philosophy fails here if somebody plans to switch over to Open Source Solution .....
