We are running ZCM 10.1.0 and whenever we try to establish a remote connection to a PC on the LAN, it could take anywhere from 20 to 30 seconds.

Is anyone having this same issue? I don't see any TID's that are related to this problem. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Hello, everyone!

So far I've had success creating Form Fill policies for some of our Web applications: GW WebAccess 8 & SugarCRM. Now, I am trying to do the same for our WhatsUp Gold network monitoring server, but once the login page appears, the credentials filled in and the form submitted, the login page just loops on itself.

The form itself is fairly simple:

<form method="POST" action="DlgUserLogin.asp" name="DlgUserLogin" id="DlgUserLogin" >

And the two fields I am filling in are simply the username and password:

<input type="text" name="DlgUserLogin.sUserName" id="DlgUserLogin.sUserName" class="Aspf-Edit" onFocus="this.className+=' Aspf-Control-Focus';" onBlur="this.className='Aspf-Edit'" maxlength="100" value="" style='width:190px' />

<input type="password" name="DlgUserLogin.sPassword" id="DlgUserLogin.sPassword" class="Aspf-EditPassword" onFocus="this.className+=' Aspf-Control-Focus';" onBlur="this.className='Aspf-EditPassword'" maxlength="100" value="" style='width:190px' />

In my form fill policy, I simply fill in the two fields with the NAM credentials and select auto-submit.

If I do not select the Auto-submit option, the credentials get filled in properly and I simply have to click the Login button on my WhatsUp login screen, at which point I access the application. It seems that only the auto-submit doesn't work.

I've read some posts here on the forum, but still can't figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

supported?

if not, when?

thanks

and OES2 SP2?

thanks

Trying to figure out the behavior of workstation associated apps that are set to pre-install.

Testing it out with the latest zfd7 agent. I created an MSI app that is set to run in "Progress" mode, Reboot If Needed, Prompt for reboot. The Pre-Install Schedule is enabled and set to Schedule Type=None. A workstation (a test vm) is associated to the application with "App Launcher" checked only (no force run, etc).

Sometimes the agent installs at the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen and auto-reboots. Sometimes if I'm logged into the workstation sitting at the desktop, it'll just reboot as well. Its not prompting or anything. I'm not sure why.. is this just how the "Pre-Install Schedule=None" option behaves?

Thanks for tips.. I've always associated to users before

Hello!

I've installed SLES 10 SP2 initially without Gnome desktop.
Now, I need a desktop and installed Gnome.

However, when booting the server, GDM is not starting automatically.

How can I start Gnome from console?

Hi,

I just installed a brand new SLES11 64bit server (VMware guest).
Installed the ZLM agent on it, registred it to the ZLM server and ran the updates from it. So server fully patched.

Installed ZCM
-Installed mono
-Installed ZCM 10.2

After install novell-zenagent won't start.
Did some troubleshooting and found:
server:/ # /opt/novell/zenworks/bin/ZenLinuxDaemon --debug

?????

So went back to the VMware snapshot I made after installing the ZLM agent, uninstalled it.
Reinstalled ZCM and now the novell-zenagent starts!

I also tried updating mono to the newest version, but then the agent complains mono is too new.

Are they really incompatible, or is there a trick to it?

Thanks,
Hein

I'm not sure but it sounds like you can't Backup and Restore to a X_Volume and then Rename the original Volume to Old_Volume and then rename the X_Volume to the original Volume name.

Why wouldn't this way work? The new Volume will have all the trustee rights because of the SMS backup and restore.

The reason I want to do it this way is because I want to leave the GroupWise on the SCSI Drives, but moving the rest.

We are running WinXP Pro SP3 with Novell client 4.91 SP5 with all the current patches up to nwfilter 1. We have performance problems accessing a Windows share running Server 2000 SP4. The shares are authenticated via AD but the workstations are not in the domain. The issue is that after the workstations are idle a bit in regards to that windows mapping, they take several minutes to wake up when trying to browse. Overall access times are also noticeably slower. Machines without the Novell client or with older version do not have this issue. We are currently testing the age old trick of tweaking the provider order but it does not seem to be helping. We are also trying turning UNC path filtering on and off.

Is anybody else seeing this? Any suggestions? I know the current (beta) nwfilter was a complete re-write but I am wondering if it is the culprit. Logic says that if the MS provider is before the NW Client, it should not matter.

Thanks.

I've noticed an error in Patch Management involving several managed computers (Windows XP SP 3) that have Microsoft's .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 installed. At least I believe it's an error. Patch Management says the machines are patched for the "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for .NET version 2.0 through 3.5 (KB951847) x86" update, but both a Windows Update and Mcrosoft Baseline Security Analyzer (v2.1) scan shows they are not. I've also checked file versions and am confident the patch is not installed. I've looked in the ZCM Patch Management documentation and can't find a remedy for this problem, and wonder how far does this go. Have others noticed similar issues?

It bothers me that, had I not double checked with third-party scans, Patch Management would have continued to give false data.

This is odd

New NAM 3.1.1 IR2 setup
I get the login page, but it doesn't look like the default ones in the docs. Doesn't look like my other NAM login pages either.

I get the blue header that takes up the entire browser window width (my other NAM servers it only takes up like 1/2 the width or something).

Missing the "card" on the left-hand side next to username / password.

It also has an "authentication" tab with a "user" below it.

And the authentication cards are gone from the bottom as well.

(granted, on my other servers we got rid of the auth cards at the bottom)

but still, I haven't customized this page yet and it looks nothing like the default picture in the Novell docs

Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue with zcm's inventory, where on some workstations it would detect 1000s of parallel ports. Obviously this causes the inventory scan file to grow very large (approx. 25MB!), which I think is what is making the server and the PCs very slow.

here is a snippet of what I see in the inventory xml file:

I know I might have to open a SR request, but I just wanted to see if anybody had seen this before.

I have two users that received a spooler error printing from word and excel. I can log in as different users on the same laptop or PC and I don't receive the error.

Greetings!

Has anyone seen these errors in their Sentinel logs:

Table SCHEDULED_JOB_DETAIL does not exist (Execute SELECT * FROM SCHEDULED_JOB_DETAIL WHERE 1=0 Params [ ] - SQLSt
ate : 42000 - ErrorCode : 942)

This is occuring in advisor, das_binary, das_aggregation, das_itrac, das_rt log files.

It started exactly after upgrading to 2009-08-30_SENTINEL_6.1.1.2_02.

I'm running Sentinel on Solaris 10 with Oracle 10g.

I was trying to diagnose why we can't get advisor downloads anymore and I found these errors, and they repeat. System seems to run fine otherwise.

I have zen 10.2.0.... on SUSE. When I select the pxe option to "always show imaging menu" with zcc the menu doesn't appear. However if I select "show imaging menu id CTRL+ALT" it will work when I select CTRL+ALT . Is there something special that I should be doing so the "always show imaging menu" option will work?

Thanks

Unfortunately, this is causing violations for Novell Storage Manager (NSM). Are there any utilities to scan for foreign filenames?

I've seen this before, when we took-over another campus, one volume had a colon (:) in a Mac filename. We've now allegedly got Tabs in filenames (Icon[Tab].). NSM also aborts with:

Hello everyone,

I've been reading up on DST for a while now, but haven't implemented. It appears everyone is using a home-made iScsi target (meaning a Netware or OES Linux server).

I also read in the Novell DST Admin guide that untested devices (e.g. not invented here.) are not supported.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience using an iScsi compatible NAS device. I was looking at the Iomega StorCenter, which gives you 4 terabytes of storage for under $1,000.

Anyone?

TIA,
Dan

Hi,

This is probably a silly question but I've never used ZLM before.

We currently have a ZLM primary server thats pulling down patches from NCC but there is no documentation and the ZCC doesn't show much other than whats it already been mirrored and the managed devices. The NCC Mirror Credentials page shows all the channels, I just don't know how to subscribe to them, see whats already subscribed and tell it where to put them ect.

I know I could set up a SMT server but wondering:
1) Is there a command line tool, documentation?
2) Can SMTv11 be installed on SLES 10? (If not where are the previous versions)
3) Can I connect another primary ZLM server (test) using the same NCC mirror credentials without it effecting production?

I hope that made sense :)

Thanks

Michael

I know if I modify HKLM\SOFTWARE\Novell\NetWareWorkstation\CurrentVer sion\ProductName I can change the text in the title bar of the initial Novell Login.

However, some of our workstations do an autoadmin login with a shortcut to C:\WINDOWS\system32\LOGINW32.EXE in the startup folder. The title bar here is just "Novell Login" and I'd like to change it. Does anyone know how?

I've got an error 1096 in sbe user administration page.
(flash player added at ff at console)

Create a new user like:
Username: ONE, ..., First name: Oliver, Last name: New
Then click check boxes for eDir, eMail, samba, iFolder, etc.
Everything ok.
Finish page.
Open user administration page one more:
all checkup boxes are ok.
User name ist displayed as "Oliver New" (not as username "ONE")!!!
Close page.

Login from workstation as username "ONE" is ok.

When I now open the user administration (at console or from workstation browser), the page will be updatet, several blue/white bars for each application like eDir, iFolder, samba are runnig,
but in the first column "eDirectory" the check at checkbox disappears,
all gets grey and an "error #1096" is displayed. Other checkboxes left checked.
The user name ist displayed as "cn=ONE.ou=users.o=..." not as "Oliver New".

I tested following:
If I log out as this user from sbe and go back to user administration, the user is displayed as at the beginning without error and eDir checked.
This is the same with another user created there.

Because eDir will cancelled after login, all worstation installation fail.

Is this a bug concerning Novell syntax firstname + lastname as username,
and the linux syntax?

Has anybody an idea how I get a stable user account/login?
Changes in eDir user or whatelse via iManager?
