References: <4b9...@ma...> hello, the possibility is to define user classes for the dhcp-options on your dhcp-server, e.g. (linux dhcpd.conf): - ---snip--- ~ if option user-class =3D "winXPclient" { ~ option ANI-DN "CN=3DComputers,DC=3Danix,DC=3Dch"; ~ option ANI-I386 "\\\\server1\\xpi386"; ~ option ANI-PAC "\\\\server1\\apack"; ~ option ANI-PW "OfeEoXRWa1dyhfkD9S4vbA=3D=3D"; ~ option ANI-ACC "anithing"; ~ } elsif option user-class =3D "w2kClient" { ~ option ANI-DN "CN=3DComputers,DC=3Danix,DC=3Dch"; ~ option ANI-I386 "\\\\server1\\ai386"; ~ option ANI-PAC "\\\\server1\\apack"; ~ option ANI-PW "OfeEoXRWa1dyhfkD9S4vbA=3D=3D"; ~ option ANI-ACC "anithing"; ~ } else { ~ option ANI-DN "CN=3DComputers,DC=3Danix,DC=3Dch"; ~ option ANI-I386 "\\\\server1\\ai386"; ~ option ANI-PAC "\\\\server1\\whatever"; ~ option ANI-PW "OfeEoXRWa1dyhfkD9S4vbA=3D=3D"; ~ option ANI-ACC "anithing"; ~ } - ---snip--- On the boot-media you have the possibilty to pass a user-class in config/ani.gf[012]: - ---snip--- USRCLASS=3Dw2kClient - ---snip--- The disadvantage of this approach is, that you have to maintain different boot-media for different client-types. But because the boot-media is nearly free of maintanance, that isn't really a big problem= =2E But there's currently one problem: In the current release the support for user classes during post-windows installation is buggy (i.e., it doesn't work -> currently no support!). But it is already coded and will be released the next weekend (ani-1.1.1). _ Hagen Marc Petitmermet wrote: | dear list members | | i want to give ani a try but i have a question about scalability. | according to the documentation the important user options in | dhcpd.conf are the following: | | option ani-domain-name "ou=3Dcomputers,dc=3Dsubstring,dc=3Dch" ; option | ani-install-share "\\\\server1\\Ai386" ; option ani-packages-share | "\\\\server1\\APACK" ; option ani-installer-password | "MlEhFkH1JMsrhIzUAxieMg=3D=3D" ; option ani-installer-account | "hanswurst" ; | | my problem now is that we have huge subnets where over 10 different | groups share the same subnets. because of licensing issues and | because the groups have their own servers we need some possibility | to have different ani-domain-name, ani-install-share, | ani-packages-share, ani-installer-password, ani-installer-account. | | is it possible to have e.g. ani1-*, ani2-*, etc. options and where | is this defined in the ani code? | | kind regards, marc | | --------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. | Marc Petitmermet, IT Support Group Member Working hours: Tuesday to | Friday ETH-H=F6nggerberg, HCI E 482.2, Wolfgang-Pauli-Str. 10 8093 | Zuerich, Switzerland Phone: +41-1-633 61 06 E-Mail: | pet...@ma..., Web: http://www.mat.ethz.ch | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net | email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool | for open source databases.
