DHCP IP-Reservation and Dynamic DNS Update

Hi @ ALL

before I've started to get known with LDAP, I had nearly the same setup in my network enviroment without LDAP.
And I used the rcnd.key function so that DHCP and DNS could work together so that DHCP updated dynamic the dns zones. I've been also able to use reservation in conjuction with the MAC Address for some host so that they will only got a specified IP Address.

Now I am wondering who can I (we) uses this feature with this LDAP Setup?

Something like that for host IP reservation e.g.:

Code:

dn: cn=stka, cn=DHCP Config, dc=lokal,dc=de
cn: stka
objectClass: top
objectClass: dhcpHost
dhcpHWAddress: ethernet 00:0a:e4:22:af:de
dhcpStatements: fixed-address 192.168.123.3

But how about the dns zone dynamic update?

Maybe someone can give me a hint on that please.

 

Connection failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

net -U Administrator rpc rights grant 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins' SeMachineAccountPrivilege gets message
Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1
The username or password was not correct.
Connection failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE


1. the solution given in this forum
2. or another solution
check smb.conf regarding:

interfaces = 192.168.1.0/24 eth0
bind interfaces only = true

this was my failure so I could use the net command.
Just comment out or correct those lines ;-)

 

How to use the MMC backup-tool ?

I didn't figured out yet how to access the backup-tool - using the web-gui ? or what does the trick?

Everyone how went through this How To of Falko,
should have:
/usr/lib/mmc/backup-tools

there is a shell script

For what did we create a archive share ?
For what did we point to sharepath etc. in the ../plugins/base.ini ??


Can anyone help me please

 

I had some problems and to save anyone else scratching their head for hours this may help you.

When running

Code:

smbldap-populate -m 512 -a Administrator

I was getting auth errors even though my password was correct and matched the LDAP passwords entered at the beginning. My password was using unusual characters like $#@ etc. and simply wouldn't work. I tried a really basic password like "howtoforge" in the How To and this resolved the problem.

Thanks

 

Oh and also I discovered when running

Code:

/etc/init.d/mmc-agent start

....
SAMBA option 'ldap delete dn' must be disabled.
Plugin samba not loaded.
....

I commented out the following in /etc/samba/smb.cf as follows

Code:

#       ldap delete dn = yes

And it fixed it

 

I tried this in order to fix the "chown: `omain Users': invalid group" problem in section 5.4 but it did not work for me.

I've gone back through everything to ensure that I have made no errors, but I cant seem to figure it out.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks.
Steve

 

It is sorry, but to date a problem remained (((

Did everything on instruction...copy.

But at Command

net -U Administrator rpc rights grant 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins' SeMachineAccountPrivilege

gives out

Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1
Connection failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

Help please

 

Ok it was an error of mine. while adjusting the guide to fit my needs I overlooked a couple of areas that I had to ammend to my needs. All working now. A great guide and Mandriva DS is superb.
Many thanks.

 

It too "net -U Administrator rpc rights grant 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins' SeMachineAccountPrivilege" works for you?

 

Yes this worked fine, might sound obvious but have you replaced:-

"net -U Administrator rpc rights grant 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins' SeMachineAccountPrivilege"

with:-

"net -U Administrator rpc rights grant 'YOUR_WORKGROUP_NAME_DEFINED_IN_SAMBA\Domain Admins' SeMachineAccountPrivilege"

This is the Domain name you chose in section 3.2.2 Samba. of the guide

This is one of the things I first overlooked.

 

Good afternoon.
I did all as in how to, and have stopped on this problem.
What you use Repositories?

Please Lay out the /etc/apt/sources.list

 

I install Debian 4.0r6 and have trouble on first step.
My sources.list

When I try install all packege

Why author don`t show your repositories list?
So. What i must do?

 

Ok. I`m fix my first problem. My repository was the following.

I installed everything, except for dcc-client.

Then install went fine. He received only a few mistakes.
When
debian:~# chown -R :"Domain Users" /home/samba/
Get
chown: `omain Users': invalid group

When
debian:/etc/squid# net -U Administrator rpc rights grant 'PZAS\Domain Admins' SeMachineAccountPrivilege
Get
Password:
Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1
The username or password was not correct.
Connection failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

PZAS - is my workgroup name in samba. Password I put correct.


Next were no errors. Set in Mandriva Managment Console. All items performed correctly. When you add a user, I do not see "Samba user properties".

When start mmc-agent

Explain why I have problems and how to fix them.

 

I fix my problem.
In the tutorial given is not about editing the file /etc/mmc/plugins/samba.ini.
There must indicate their preference.

After restart mmc-agent i recive error. Samba is not started.
Then in file /etc/samba/smb.conf i delete line ldap delete dn = yes.
Restart samba, restart mmc-agent and all be work.


But now i can`t join other computer to my domain.
To be continiue.
