I have a windows file server and a windows AD domain controller. all windows workstation users are able to log in to their workstations authenticated by Windows DC and also shared drives on the file server mapped with logon scripts. now i m creating linux workstations and have been successful in adding the linux machines to the domain and users are authenticated from the windows DC. now comes the question of mapping the shared drives for each user. the script on the windows DC is as below:
Code:
For each user the script is different and users sit on any workstation. is their any way Linux can be made to understand this script and drives be mapped for users?
I'm breaking into the OS drive side with RAID-1 now. I have my server set up with a pair of 80 GB drives, mirrored (RAID-1) and have been testing the fail-over and rebuild process. Works great physically failing out either drive. Great! My next quest is setting up a backup procedure for the OS drives, and I want to know how others are doing this.
Here's what I was thinking, and I'd love some feedback: Fail one of the disks out of the RAID-1, then image it to a file, saved on an external disk, using the dd command (if memory serves, it would be something like "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=backupfilename.img") Then, re-add the failed disk back into the array. In the event I needed to roll back to one of those snapshots, I would just use the "dd" command to dump the image back on to an appropriate hard disk, boot to it, and rebuild the RAID-1 from that.
Does that sound like a good practice, or is there a better way? A couple notes: I do not have the luxury of a stack of extra disks, so I cannot just do the standard mirror breaks and keep the disks on-hand, and using something like a tape drive is also not an option.
Is it possible to run Fedora 14 on hard drive SDA (1st drive in computer - 1 terabyte Western Digital) and also run Windows 7 on drive SDB (2nd drive in computer - 1 terabyte Hitachi)? I have been able to run both Windows and Fedora (Fedora installed last) on SDA, but all my attempts to have the two OSs running on different drives have failed. Am I attempting the impossible or can it be done? I'm not particularly concerned which OS goes on which drive, but Fedora grub doesn't seem to be able to pick up WIN7 when it is on drive SDB.
i am using fedora 14. Each time i login i have to manually mount my windows drives. Is there any script or system setting which will help me to auto mount my windows drive on startup.
In windows 7, I had 5 partitions on a hard disk: C, D, E, F, G . I installed Scientific Linux 5.0 on C partition and it removed Win 7 . It's graphic mode didn't work, also I couldn't access to the other drives. I replaced it by Fedora 13. I can work graphically Fedora but when I mount the other drives, just D drive is visible! Is there any solution that I could access to the data on other drives? By the way, the following is the output of fdisk -l .
[root@Niki ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

When I try to save a new or edited file via OO I get the following error
Error savind the document doc: /c/windows/doc.odt does not exist
I assume that it is a mounting error but due to my newbieness dont know how to confirm this. I see that I can not copy to the windows drives via Dolphin either.
I suspect this is not new but I just can't find where it was treated. Maybe someone can give me a good lead.I just want to prevent certain users from accessing CD/DVD drives and all external drives. They should be able to mount their home directories and move around within the OS but they shouldn't be able to move data away from the PC. Any Clues?
I have Fedora 14 installed on my main internal drive. I have one Fedora 14 and one Fedora 15 installed on two separate USB drives.When I boot into any of these drives, I can't access any of the other hard drives from the other drivesll I can, but just the boot partitions.Is there any way of mounting the other partitions so I can access the information?---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------I guess even an explanation on why I can't view them would be good too.
I have recently set up an ubuntu installation on an old PC. After some fiddling with both it, and the windows 7 machine, I have managed to share all of my drives. However, when attempting to access them from ubuntu, only 2 of the 4 hard disk shares will mount, with the other 2 failing with a Unable to mount location, failed to mount windows share error message.

I have setup a 389 ldap server on fedora 11 that works fine on linux clients. Now I want to connect windows xp clients on it. I made it using pgina, but I would like to make it work without third party software.
I installed Fedora 12 with package standard of the MYSQL, configured this the same twirling in such a way localhost as in one it schemes with windows VISTA, to put I have others 4 you scheme with windows XP that I do not obtain to have access in the MYSQL. What I have to make pra these you scheme with XP to have access?
(tangent to my other thread "Karmic -> Lucid not booting"). I have four hard drives on a Lucid box, and (as it happens) the fourth drive is the boot and root. Could I also install grub on the other three (ext4) hard drives, keeping the same root? Will this disturb the data there? How would the machine decide which copy to use, anyway?
I have this server board by supermicro: H8QM3-2 I would like to know if there is a sas driver for the hard drives? I want to use ubuntu 64bit but fail to find a driver for my sas hard drive.
We do server backups to USB HDD's. Neither of our known good backup drives are being recognized by our 10.04 server, fully updated. Additionally, I plugged in my SanDisk 4GB USB mem stick, and it is not recognized either. I am used to seeing the kernel do some PnP messages in either /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog and I am not seeing any blips there what so ever of the USB drives being plugged in. Did something happen to USB PnP with some latest update? USB HDD's were being recognized recently, like six weeks ago...
I have a second hard drive that I plan on placing in a computer I wish to use this computer as a server so my question is how could I use these 2 hard drives as one lets say one is 80Gb and the other is 40GB how could they be shown as 120GB instead of being seperate The installation of server planned on being used is 10.04.
I've got a 10.04 server install, on which I installed a basic gnome desktop. But I've never been able to automount usb drives or DVD/CDs!?but seem for desktop. May relate to not having standard gnome install? I don't have users-admin to try that, and don't see install package.
Just moved my Mac Server to Ubuntu Server 10.10. I have two external USB drives that need to be shared on the network and be available on the internet for sensitive file transfer. What would be the most secure way to do it ? Some users are mobile and some not. The mobile users can access the network through a vpn running on that same server. The server is serving DNS and Proxy as well. I thought about creating a SAMBA share but the two disks are 1TB each. Then I went for proftpd but after reading some doc, it appears not very secure.
I have ESXI 4.1 installed with Unbuntu Server 11.04, Gnome.I have 8 SATA drives installed they show up in unbuntu as removable media.I wish to share them to my windows users on my lan using.The problem is it will not allow me to change the permissions for the shares and as such when my windows clients try to access the shares they are told asscess denied.Samba will share folders created on my desktop ok, I have tryed sharing a folder in the draws but it still did not work.
I am Setting up 3 HP Proliant servers with 2 250GB Hard Drives in each. How Do I mirror the drives, and link all the servers together??? I am installing Centos 5.3. From the software install menu I installed Gnome, and the Server software, but can't seem to figure out how to get into the server side of it from gnome. Sorry for all the questions, but I have been out of the loop of all this for about 8 years and trying to re-learn everything.
My brother and I want to set up a server off of which we would provide the processing power for several thin clients. Is it possible to serve the thin clients with images of Windows XP to run?
I'm new LDAP kind of stuff.I want to configure LDAP server and Client on windowsXP. could you tell me which Open source LDAP Server and client are best fit for windowsXP. Is OpenLdap not suitable for windows?
I've checked the forums for a guide to sharing my printer with a laptop and cannot find any entries that are specific to my configuration. [URl]... My printer is connected to a desktop running Fedora 13. I also have a laptop running Windows 7. There was one web entry that spoke about "Windows Vista 7" that didn't match my configuration. [URL].. Is there a "how to" out there that I can follow to make this work? I am not a well-experienced user, so the more detailed (and accurate) the steps, the better!
i have configured the samba as pdc in debian squeeze,in the "View Workgroup Computers" window of windows xp there is linux shared folder icon but when want to open the folder get this error: \LinuxcpShared is not accessible. you might not have the permissions to use the network resources. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
I have a 12 disk raid 6 Array with 2 additional spare drives. Two of the drives got out of sync (because I was fat fingering the mdadm commands while trying to reassemble the array), so I added them back as spares. This is what mdadm is showing me:
