8.1 Configuring a Proxy Agent for Active Directory Managed Networks without Novell Storage Manager

  1. Locate the nfrproxy.cfg file in the config folder where the DSI is installed.

    On Windows Server 2003, the path is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\AppData\Novell\File Reporter\DSI-AD\config

    On Windows Server 2008, the path is C:\ProgramData\Novell\File Reporter\DSI-AD\config

    The file contains commented information on how to set up proxy associations.

  2. Append the proxy associations to the nfrproxy.cfg file, using the following format: 

    servername-where-NFR-Agent-is-installed=NAS-device-name

  3. Save the updated nfrproxy.cfg file.

  4. Restart the DSI-AD service.

  5. Launch NFRAdmin.

  6. Click Scan Collection.

  7. In the right pane, click Storage Resources > Rebuild Storage Resource List.

  8. When you are notified that the rebuild is in progress, click OK.

  9. In the right pane, click Refresh to view the new NAS devices listed as storage resources available for scanning.

    If the new NAS devices do not appear, you might need to give Novell File Reporter more time to rebuild the list. Repeat Step 7 and Step 8 and allow more time for the list to be rebuilt before proceeding to Step 9.

  10. Proceed to Section 8.3, Establishing Permissions on the NAS Device.
