DSfW: Provisioning using python script

DSfW installation is a two stage process. The first part is done in YaST, where DSfW related basic changes are done. After YaST completes the configuration, the DSfW Provisioning Plugin has to be launched. This is done to complete the changes necessary to make the server behave as a domain server.

The DSfW provisioning plugin is a GUI and it requires user interaction to complete the operation. It also require access to the X server to launch the plugin.

With this script the provisioning plugin can be done with just the password inputs.

Blocking the SLES11 SP3 bundles flowing onto OES11 SP1 Servers via ZEN11 SP2

OES11 SP1 is supported on SLES11 SP2 and not supported on SLES11 SP3. If SLES11 SP3 bundles are applied on OES11 SP1 servers via ZEN11 SP2, the bundle installation will go through without any warning messages, which may break the OES11 SP1 Services and currently Novell does not support SLES11 SP3 as platform for OES11 SP1. To avoid this please follow the steps provided to block the SLES11 SP3 bundles flowing onto OES11 SP1 Servers.

Who's Affected & Login Script Listing

Two PHP Scripts reporting from login scripts. The first script is intended as a help desk tool. Given a server name as a search string it reports all container login scripts containing that string, all users in the affected OUs and all users with home directory attributes that contain that string. Our help desk requested this utility so that in the event of a server outage they had a single utility that would report all the affected users.The second script is a report on login scripts in an eDirectory Tree with a text string search option.
