Please can you explain me how to set Samba and dhcp server on the same machine, without a Windows server. I have a Solaris 10 x86 server with Samba. My problem is the connection to the Ai386 and APACK shares at the beginning of the process (security acces, domain settings, user rights? I have no idea what). I have always a failed connection to instshare. Sorry, but the ani documentation is not detailed at all. Thanks for your help. Didier |

dear list members i tested ani today on two different systems: dell gx200 and dell gx240. with the gx200 the bood cd was simply ignored although i have set up the cd-rom to be the first in the boot sequence. o.k. this is a scsi system and i cannot find documentation anywhere if ani must be configured for this special case or not. i only read that scsi support is built in the kernel now. do i need to make any changes? the gx240 did start booting but then it showed a kernel panic because it could not mount the disk. my monitor is too small or ani booted to fast i could not read the error message properly (something about ncr...). i don't want to offend the developers with the following, it's just an ani-newbe question;-) why don't you use knoppix or some other distributions and put ani on these? i had no problem to boot knoppix on both gx240 and gx200; all devices were recognized without problems. with such a distribution you would have devices support for free and could concentrate on the other stuff. please forgive me if this is a stupid question because there are technical reasons which i don't know yet. regards, marc |

Do you have more than one DC ? How did you find this entry (ldp.exe ?, Active directory users and computers snap-in?) ? Was it a new machine account or did you use an old one ? I suppose an replication issue ( if you have more than one DC)... |

But that's it: With user classes you has really a good scalability, i.e. much better than with the finite available DHCP options. As in my last example shown, we use the user classes to provide different installation environments even in the same subnet. For every DHCP option you can define multiple user classes and this way you can allocate one DHCP with multiple values. And if you have the user-classes well defined, they can remain unchanged (it's the same with further DHCP options). | i was told that their dhcpd server does not have an option "user | class" but that they might figure out some other options later | which could be used for this task. hmmm, what kind of DHCP server do they use? Usually Linux as well as Windows DHCP servers are providing DHCP user classes.... Are you sure? You have to know, that 's much harder to provide more DHCP options and with this approach there are a lot of disadvantages: - - DHCP options are only finite available (lesser scalability, see http://docsrv.sco.com/NET_tcpip/dhcpC.udef.html) - - Different sources on the boot media - - Different sources in the installation environment (server side) - - Hard to distinguish the different media - - Lot of work to make the different media/environments On the other side DHCP user classes are really scalable and its already implemented in ANI. The sources are the same for every installation environment, hence you have less work with the maintenance. In Ani.cf[012] you can see which boot media has which user class. And the only disadvantage is, that you have different boot media for different installation environments, but it's the same disadvantage if you use more DHCP options. If you really want to do that work, I'll tell you which sources you have to change.

Hi, I still have a problem on ani besides the local admin renaming. When ani adds the machine account to the active directory, it creates a second entry with a strange name. Example: My PC is named P2004-048. Ani creates a machine account named "P2004-048" and one named=20 "P2004-048CNF:7a0b3ecd-8cd4-4b01-ab72-ea0acb94351b". What could that be? Regards, Julien |

Hi, i have a question to the windows file system protection setting in the = winset.tpl when installing MS Office 2000 with a MSI Transform directly after the = installation i get a Windows file system protection message in which windows demands = the os cd. I tried to disable the file system protection for the installation = process with the following settings: ; system file protection ; values: 0 - activated=20 ; 1 - deactivated till next reboot with prompt, ; 2 - deactivated till next reboot without prompt, ; 4 - activated, popup deactivated [AddRegKey SFCDisable] kroot=3DHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE kpath=3DSOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon vname=3DSFCDisable value=3D0x00000002 vtype=3DREG_DWORD i also tried the decimal setting "2", both with the result that they = have no influence on the file system protection. Maybe i have overseen something. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

i still get the error message. perhaps you can recognize my mistake when = i tell you what i did: i made a partition with fdisk, defined as size 6000 MB (fdisk tells a = size slight above) i installed FreeDOS 9 on that machine booted knoppix, made image of the boot sector with "dd if=3D/dev/hda = of=3Dboot.img count=3D1" copied it to a floppy disk and the to the Ai386/system/install folder Edited the "menu.lst" like Till told me. edited the Ani.pl to: "mySys($_parted, '-s', '/dev/'.$CfgData{'INSTDEV'}, 'mkpart', 'primary', = 'FAT32', '1020.001', '6000') =3D=3D 0" rebuilt manix.bz2 and copied it to Ai386\ani. I also tried the size fdisk told me with the same result. What did i do wrong? Do i perhaps have to make the other partitions on the freedos system = too?
