Dear developers, I don't care for reasons, arguments, or flamefests. I need to plan my workload. By now I have half a dozen servers overdue for reimaging. I can put this off for another week or two, but not really much longer. There's obviously no point in installing centos 5 on any new machine. So I need to know: is there any point in my waiting another week, or should I just say 'screw it' and start scheduling SL roll-outs. Thank...

...M > running on a difefrent host > > that's it So, same recommendations as always apply: • Don't rely on a single ADDC • Don't restore ADDCs from backup if you can avoid it, as it wrecks replication. Transfer roles to your secondary DC (physical or not does not matter), then reimage and rejoin the dead DC. If that takes a day, investigate into better automation. • *Should* all DCs die *and* you cannot bring any online, *then*, and only then, you can restore one DC from backups, and reimage the others. The only gotcha with VMs is to not put the virtualization host into the...

As far as I can tell, there currently isn't a straightforward way to use password authentication for connecting to hosts where the host key changes frequently. I realize this is a fairly niche use case, but when developing software for devices that often get reimaged (resulting in a host key change), it can get pretty tedious to attempt to connect, get a warning, remove the old host key via text editor or "ssh-keygen -R", and then connect again. I'd like to propose adding a new StrictHostKeyChecking option, named something like "ask-update...

Hello, At 5pm today, we had an individual notify me that their 'profile' no longer was accessible from the samba server (solaris 8 , smb 2.2.2). The person just had their laptop reimaged and the new M$ service-pack 4 was installed on it. They can access their 'home directory' just not the profile one. Error is concerning the user not having access, versus rights. I installed the service pack on my w2k machine and chmod 777 my profile directory as well...same error. Defaul...

Hi. I'm looking for ideas or suggestions for field updates for an embedded system running linux with syslinux as the bootloader. The requirements are to be able to upload an image online (probably a private network using sftp) while the device is running, do some error checking on the new image and then reboot the device and run the new version. I'll be running off a CF card. The image is

I searched a bit to see if there is a way to upgrade from CentOS 7 directly to CentOS 8.? I found RHEL instructions but not CentOS. ? Although they probably should be/would be similar, the instructions I found enable a rhel repository to get the leap command, which I can't seem to do in CentOS. Does anyone know if you can do an upgrade yet.? I know they had been working on it in the past.

Hi, I am currently using isolinux (syslinux-6.03) in a clonezilla setup. It boots fine, however I want to have a setup where the default boot selection alternates every boot. * First boot : Default is menu item 0 * Second boot : Default is menu item 1 * Third boot : Default is menu item 0 ... The idea is that when it is booted into clonezilla the clonezilla script checks if the system needs to

So, I'm trying to boot using PXE + NFS root filesystem, to boot a kernel that can reimage machines. This has been quite successful for me, until just recently where I ran into a motherboard that had a broadcom ethernet chipset - the broadcom driver is binary only. I can boot a kernel using PXE and load the broadcom driver using a custom initrd, but don't know how to then NFS mount...

I have a lab with 24 pc's I'm trying to reimage. I have a DOS network boot disk (version==win98) and all clients connect to the Samba share. When I start the image download with xcopy, the session appears to hang immediately. With one or two, a small amount of hard drive activity will continue, but the file copy will fail. When I connect to...

Hi, In my last job, I could see the disasters of restoring virtual machine with Microsoft AD as a standalone domain controller (a day reinstalling the domain controller). What are the recommendations on virtualizing Samba AD DC according to samba team ? I found nothing on the wiki about it. Is that the best solution is to have a physical secondary controller ? Thanks.

...Windows client is spinning trying to backup cygwin > files, specifically /var/log/lastlog? Nope. I'm *explicitly* telling bareos to back up c:/Users/, and, in a couple of cases, d:/ or e:/ - we don't care about the system or logs at all. If something happens, desktop support will ghost reimage them. And it was working with no trouble.... mark

Hi, We are new to PXElinux and we are using it in our test lab to do provisioning. When the systems come up there is a PXElinux menu to boot local(default) or boot to the imaging environment (linux). It works great, but we have to visit each machine whenever we want to create or restore a disk image. Now we would like to be able to remotely force a system to re-image itself. The

I reimaged a compute node on our cluster with the latest 5.3 updates (we were previously running 5.2), but we kept the kernel at 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 until I can find time to rebuild some of our kernel modules. After the image install finishes and the system reboots, the eth0 ethernet interface disappears....

...ll, I wouldn't write with such a trivial sounding problem if I didn't have to - Sorry. I have two machines on LAN 192.168.0. One is a windows machine, one is a Redhat 9 machine. I have been trying to get samba set up for two weeks now. I first installed RedHat 9 with GUI and then reimaged my windows box. Everything worked like a charm and Samba was perfect. Me being fussy, I reimaged my linux box to not include the GUI. I couldn't get access to my Samba space anymore, although it would show up with my server string in 'My Network Places'. I struggled for a week and...

I am trying to come up with a workable solution in managing numerous Mac workstations allowing a high degree of flexibility with regards to certs. My puppet environment is setup to application installation on machines that have been ''imaged'' with a base OS and the puppet and facter apps. So, when a Mac is ''imaged'' and subsequently re-booted, puppet is run at

Your answer has nothing to do with the original question which is related to upgrade method and not condition for reinstalling without loosing data. Sometimes you need to keep your configuration and want to avoid reconfiguring everything, and reimaging your computer keeping /home is not an option. Of course having all user files on a separate filesystem helps when reimaging the OS (that what I do as main developer of SystemImager, but in some circumstances, you may want to just upgrade the OS Like you do when you upgrade iOS-12 to iOS-13 or An...

My old technique was to 1) remove all machine accounts from ldap 2) reimage all machines 3) create all the machine accounts with smbldap-adduser -w 4) switch all machines to domain mode that does not work anymore... the machine accounts exist in ldap but i get this internally contradictory info in the logs [2004/02/20 02:29:52, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap...

Hi, The attached core patch makes the 'isFocussable' getter in CompWindow wrappable. This way, plugins such as winrules can make core's getter function return a different value to the one stored internally without actually having to modify the value.
