Title: ZENTYAL 4 external active directory + webmail
Post by: pandelaras on September 18, 2014, 08:57:55 am: I am trying to set up zentyal 4 as AD slave to my main windows server 2003, and set up openoffice. I get to connect to the existing AD and all is perfect, but when i try to enable the mail module i get this message

module mail is uncompatible with the current users operation mode (use external active directory mode)

So how can i set up openoffice? only as stand alone server?

Please, be patient we are working to check that nothing get wrong when using Openchange that way.

I have installed Zentyal 4.0 on a test machiene, installation no problems.
On a Windows client te server could not be seing in the browser and the windows explorern administration gui on a windows client works.
DNS is ok and defined in the windows client.
My installation consist of the modules: Domain controller and file sharing, dns server, antivirus and printers.

Is there a need to install an other module so dat windows clients could connect to de zentyal 4.0 server ?

Best regards,
Ian

When trying to connect zentyal to an external active directory you must go the "DSN snap in" in windows server and add the zentyal machine there. The snap in can be found in control panel->administrative tools->dsn

Then under your machine name, in the forward lookup zone, i found my AD and i added a new host by right clicking on it. reverse lookup was added automatically and all worked ok.

Zentyal 4 is awesome by the way

Thanks for the reply, my problem has to do with windows client pc's connect to a Zentyal 4.0 PDC.
There is no MS server involved in my network.

I think that there is still some work to do in communication with the zentyal server.

Best regards,
Ian
