Resolving DDNS Updates Failure After DHCP Migration from NetWare to OES
After migrating DHCP from NetWare to Open Enterprise Server (OES) Linux, Dynamic DNS (DDNS) fails to update forward (A) and reverse (PTR) records. This is due to some of the default differences between Novell DNS/DHCP on NetWare and the open source implementation of DNS/DHCP on OES Linux.

DSfW: Post Configuration of DNS on an Additional Domain Controller in OES2SP3
During DSfW configuration, you are provided with an option to select the installation of DNS. For the first domain controller (DC) of the forest root domain, this is done by default. For all the additional domain controllers (ADC), the DNS configuration in OES2SP3 is optional. However, after DSfW configuration on the ADC, if you need to configure DNS on the ADC, it cannot be done using YaST. The script provided here enables you to configure DNS on the ADC in a post-configuration manner.

How to receive an alert when the server certificate is about to expire
Don't you hate it when you get in to work one morning to find your OES/eDirectory services that worked the night before don't work anymore? When you find that the problem is due to server certificate expiration, don't you wish that there is some way to inform you before the certificate expires so that you can fix it beforehand? This document explains how this can be done.

Menu driven OES Services Check - Assist admin staff in daily healthchecks
As we know, 90% of OES problems can be traced back to one of the services in the OES stack not running, thereby affecting the services lower down in the stack.
I created this script to present a Menu so a basic administrator can log into the server and run the menu, then follow simple menu prompts to check for apparent issues with OES services, networking and eDirectory objects/users.
