Logon-Logoff / Power-on-Shutdown Scripts Execution for Windows Clients of DSfW

Published September 18, 2015 | By admin

A new coolsolution has been released allowing the login and logoff tasks on a workstation.  The script can also power down or power on workstations.  Administrators and end users can automate these tasks.  The scripts can be stored in the netlogon or sysvol on the primary domain controller which will sync it out to the other DCs.  The profile tab of user properties, or Logon GPO can be used for integrating these scripts into startups and shutdown cases.

Go to novell.coolsolutions.com to download the script and read more about what you can do with this script.

DSfW Migration – OES 11 SP1 to OES11 SP2

Published October 8, 2014 | By admin

DSfW Migrations can be tricky if you do not follow the documentation carefully.  I created two videos that take you through the process of a successful migration.  The videos do not cover the pre-migration.  For the pre-migration you want to ensure the tree and DSfW server specifically is healthy.

The key is to install and configure eDirectory with the pre-migration pattern on the target server using the Software Management tool provided by the YaST utility.  DO NOT Use the OES Install and Configuration utility.  This is the key piece most people miss.  If you use the OES Install and Configuration utility the DSfW patter will not be able to be installed.  Instead the pre-migration pattern will be layed down, the pre-migration wizard will pop up.  If you continue through the pre-migration pattern eDir will be installed.  You then click… Continue reading →

OES11SP2 is Available for Download

Published January 28, 2014 | By admin

OES11sp2 is now available for download.

Sites and Subnets functionality is the biggest addition to DSfW.  It will allow the configuration of users to authenticate to a specific Domain Controller.  For this feature to work all Domain Controllers must be OES11sp2 servers.
Easy Wins configuration, Mac Client Support, Windows 8 Support,  Windows 2012 Support, and SASL NTMSSP Support are also big additions.
The SASL NTLMSSP Support will allow NTLM over LDAP bind request to be fullfilled.  Since more and more applications are supporting SASL NTLMSSP as the primary authentication mechanism for 2008 and 2012 servers this will allow more applications to work directly with DSfW.
The Novell Client has worked with well DSfW since OES2SP3, but that configuration was not supported.  It is now supported.
Download and test OES11sp2.  It is more robust and feature rich than previous… Continue reading →
