Weird behaviour of Novell Client in AD environment

Hi all,
I have just converted my Win8.1 Enterprise box to login to AD (as Primary), and use the same credentials to passively login to our OES11SP2 environment, using Client 2SP3IR8.
While everything works, I have found that during the display of the Novell Login script, the wallpaper background changes rapidly. (I have my wallpaper set to change every 30 mins). It's almost like every new line of the Login Script box, the background changes.
Has anyone seen this?

Novell Linux Client, -E/--passenv environment variable?

Hi!
I've been experimenting with the Novell Client for Linux v1.2 on
SLED10. I have most of it working as intended.
Now I'd like to integrate with some scripts to do automatic logins. I
notice that in the help message (from 'nwlogin --help'), this
information is present:
-E, --passenv
pass password via environment variable
The same (almost, it only lists --passenv, not -E) goes for gnwlogin.
This looks like a very useful feature for script integration, but
unfortunately, I can't find any documentation on which environment
variable to use. The -E/--passenv parameter is also missing from the
nwlogin(1) manual page.
What environment variable should be used? Is this feature official, so
that I can rely on it being present in later versions of the client?
Thanks,
\EF

Error and weird behaviour in executable launch

Hello folks,
This post is regarding a weird behaviour i am experiencing with an executable i built.
LABVIEW version(Includes Runtime engine) LV2012 SP1 f3
DAQmx: 9.6.1
The behaviour is listed below in detail.
In a nutshell, the exectuable runs on the development computer but does not run on the Target computer. Also, Irresepctive of which PC i run the executable on, i cannot access the block diagram even after enabling debugging everywhere.
On the target PC, the app fires up but does not run further, no error codes appear on the screen, it's like the app freezes after firing up. And to add to the misery, i cannot access the block diagram to debug and know what's going on.
Also, I have tried including the dynamic vis to my build script. No bueno.
What I see on running the app is addressed below:
TARGET COMPUTER:
DAQmx 9.7 and LV2012 SP1 f4 RTE have been installed manually.
App does not run: No broken run button, the app launches but does nothing when the vi is run. No error messages.
The block diagram is still inaccessible, even after selecting the “Enable debugging” option in the build specifications.
DEVELOPMENT COMPUTER:
The app launches and runs perfectly.
The block diagram is still inaccessible, even after selecting the “Enable debugging” option in the build specifications.
DAQmx 9.7 and LV2012 SP1 f4 RTE were not installed as the app recognized the already installed Labview environment.
Additional steps that I have tried,
Created and ran only an executable on the target PC, the attempt was unsuccessful. The vi showed similar characteristics as mentioned above in the target PC section.
Created and ran an installer with additional install options(LV2012 f4 RTE and DAQmx 9.7)on the target PC, the attempt was again unsuccessful. The vi showed similar characteristics as mentioned above in the target PC section. No error messages.
Tried both the steps mentioned above on the development computer and the attempts were successful. .
To the best of my knowledge, I believe, the issue here is with the environment I am creating for the executable and the installer to run with/off of. After having carefully followed the installation procedure for the Run-Time Engine and the DAQmx drivers, I still do not know what I am missing.
Please advise.
Thanks guys,
RP.

Hey guys,
So, got the application to work. Almost.
The problem was that the executable was missing the hardware config from the Device.
Now, the new issue is as following:
The goal of the vi is to generate a report of the test conducted. So, the way the vi works is that, the second the vi is run, an empty word file is created with only the company logo,
Field headings, which are populated after the test is conducted.
The logo is a .jpg file, which has a relative path into the executable.
The field heading are String constants wired into a 'concatenate strings.vi' which are in turn wired to into the report generation vis.
What's happening is that when i run the app on the target pc, Only the logo appears on the word template. Even when i conduct the whole test and stop the vi, the results aren't populated in the word file. Which is a little weird.
Does any one know whats doing that?
Please refer to the attached word files.
Right - It is the file format desired.
Wrong - It is the file format achieved.
Please advise.
Thanks,
RP.

Login intermittently slow with ZCM agent AND Novell client

We continue to struggle with intermittently slow logins in our environment. In testing, we noticed that logins are very fast (10-20 seconds) when only the Novell Client is installed, and very fast (~10 seconds) when only the ZCM agent is installed. However, when they are both installed, logins slow down, sometimes to 1.5 minutes or longer.
We have checked DNS and rDNS, and they are both configured properly. SLP is working properly as demonstrated by the fast logins when only the client is installed. We use LDAP for user lookup, and it also works very fast to resolve user names (~ 1 second).
We are using ZCM 10.3.1, and the client is fully patched as well (both Novell Client 2 and 4.91)
Are there any specific settings (for the ZCM agent or the client itself) that might address this issue?

My apologies, I told you to remove the wrong thing.
I should have said NMAS instead of CASA.
I am just so used to saying CASA when talking about ZCM.
In regards to NMAS, you could simply rename "NWSSO.DLL" as a test.
If NMAS is installed which is tested by the existence of this DLL, then
a certain NMAS call is always made, which in some cases can take a long
time.

Weird behaviour in RMIClient

hi all,
i am experiencing a weird behaviour with my RMI Client....
my RMIClient has two methods
init()
callRemoteMethod()
ideally in the init() i should locate the RMIServer, and in the callRemoteMethod() i should call one of hte methods of the RMIServer
the problem is that it does not work!!
my RMIClient code works ONLY if i put the initialization of the RMIServer and the call of one of its method in the SAME method
is it normal that it happens like htis????
can anyone give me some hints??
thanx in advance and regards
marco

hi all,
i solved the problem...i was initializing hte RMI server twice.....
sorry for bothering
regards
marco

Experience about life without Novell Client?

Hi,
got anyone a wider experience about OES Infrastructure without Novell
Client and W7 Workstations?
We didn't need absolut highest performance but an absolut stable and
reliable Environment (24h Healthcare).
- Is Performance with CIFS Access to OES NSS Cluster Ressources comparable?
- Is availability comparable (in special Cluster migrations, Filelocking
on Files)
Today we run ~250 XP Workstations on OES2
Cluster/Filesharing/iprint/Zen7 and Groupwise.
Now we are going to ZCM11 and W7/64bit and think about avoid to use the
Novell Client for Windows to reduce complexity and switch on Client Side
to AD-Domain and use OES Infrastructur only for the "Backend".
Most Novell Services (Groupwise/iPrint) are going to auth to AD too, so
why should we use Novell Client and the NCP Protocol anymore?
Is the NCP Protocoll so much better against CIFS in current OES
Implementations (i'm no Expert in this Things).
Regards
Thomas

What would you like to know?
Most infos are on my first post.
We get more and more Windows Applikations who need a Windows Server as
Plattform for Services, Shares and Authentication.
In the past we create lokal "system" Accounts on these Applikation
Servers and map there Shares with help of the Loginskripts.
like map use R: \\app-server\files password /user:<systemaccount>
But now we are low on Drive Letters...
So now we think about to bring the Applikation Server and Windows
Workstation into AD-Domain for using same User Accounts/Passworddatabase
and use the UNC Syntax for this kind of Applikations.
Or we use some Applikations/Infrastruktur who use "transparent" Login
with AD Authentication (sp. Citrix) or use this as Authentication Point.
And that's our thoughts about CIFS and Novell Infrastractur in General.

Removing Novell Client from Windows 7

Hello,
We have an issue with programs running slowly on our SUSE Linux server 11.0. We set up a test machine with Windows 7 without Novell Client and the same programs run extremely fast. (They run fast on a Windows 2008 server too with or without the client.) This is great for the new test machine but I have about 20 workstations that need to have the Client removed. If we remove it through control panel (both NICI and Novell Client - whatever version is installed) the programs are still slow. However, if we do a restore to the time before the Novell client was installed, the machine is fast. Because these machines have had the Novell Client installed for months, we cannot go back to an old restore point. Is there some registry file or other file that needs to be removed or changed to make the computer like it was installed without the Novell Client? I really do not want to have to rebuild 20 computers in order to fix this. I have researched the web and forums and cannot find any information about anything else that needs to be changed when the Novell client is removed. FYI - this is the same on our few Windows XP machines with the appropriate last updated Client on them.
Any help would be welcome!
Susan

We have had many issues with the Novell Client / Windows 7. Here is what we have done to get to an acceptable point.
We are running OES 11SP1 fully updated up until July (Getting ready to apply more updates), we are also talking about switching from CIFS to Samba as we have been seeing some weirdness with CIFS and NSS disconnects.
OES11 SP1 - Primary File Server NSS with CIFS
OES11 SP1 - DSFW/DNS Server for Domain Authentication for the CITRIX Servers, this server also runs ZCM 11.2.2 (Also going to update this as we need windows 8 support and the ZCM Agent has some issues at this level; however ZCM has a horrible way to apply updates and is time consuming)
OES11 SP1 Squid Proxy With transparent user authentication using LDAP with SquidTrust. Also has NSS Shares
Other servers exist as well.
We standardized on Novell Client 2 SP3 or Greater. Currently SP3 IR3 is what is in use. But prior to SP3 the client had many issues for us.
Also, We do not use Group policy with ZCM (We tried But it was painful and slow and policies would randomly just quit working / remove themselves) we reverted back to just digging in and finding the registry keys. If a key only existed in the Policy Section we put it there and do a GPUPDATE /force on login.
Server Settings:
Disable OPLOCKS
Workstation Settings:
NW Client Settings
File Commit (Enabled)
File Cache (Disabled) - NW Client Setting
Name Services DNS / SLP Only (Default on the newer Netware Client)
Win7 Machine Settings:
Static DNS Server - Set to the internal servers only. No external server set. The win 7 machines for some reason would use the secondary DNS Server randomly instead of the primary, never really dug in on why but disabling / removing a public DNS Server as the secondary and adding in a second internal.
MS Client For Microsoft Networks Remove, We tried changing the preferred order on the network adapters with no help. I believe the fact that we are running CIFS on the Server side the client is having issues with deciding on how to connect to the NSS Volumes when the client is installed. With the MS Client removed we see a huge improvement In the Novell client.
Libraries Disable - Registry - We redirect Documents Folders and such and these libraries are wanting to index the locations. As the Libraries consist of multiple locations.
Offline Files Disable - Registry
Windows Search Disable Registry (Service)
Zone Mapping - Registry Adds the servers & domain to the Trusted list for the OS (Even though it says Internet Explorer its used by other portions of the OS)
User Access Control Registry
I have others that helped but this is the short list of changes that made major improvements.
When I have a moment I will look back and see if there are other major changes. This is just what I remember.

Novell Client logoff bug

Using win32 api ExitWindowsEx
-XP SP3 install without Novell client: locked desktop can be logged out by program (test program with countdown timer and ExitWindowsEx call)
-Same XP SP3 install with Novell Client: locked desktop logs out but hangs forever at an empty desktop screen. No keys responding (even CTRL+ALT+DELETE won't work)
Problem seems to be described here:
The session remains locked when you call ExitWindowsEx(EWX_LOGOFF|EWX_FORCE,NULL&# 41; in Windows XP
The ExitWindowsEx() Function May Not Log Off the User or Shut Down the Computer If the Computer is Locked
MS did fix it. The Novell Client reintroduces the problem. Please fix asap.

What client version?
Is this a regression caused by a newer version the Novell Client?
Is this a regression caused by Windows Patches?
Is it intermittent? Consistent? Steps to reproduce? Other software / packages installed?
Is this reproducible when the user logs out.
I see no Defect posted agianst this. So its either a new development, or has been this way forever.
Just as an aside: May I ask what the use case is? If the ultimate goal is to restart a workstation there are other ways to do that. If it is to remotely, or programatically logout a user, it defeats the behaviour expected by the user when they lock the workstation.

Novell Client 4.91 on Windows 7 doesn't work right?

Just to confirm for one of my vendors, Novell Client 4.91 cannot be used on
a Windows 7 workstation correct?
His application takes over 5 minutes to open when accessed from a Windows 7
workstation using Novell Client 2 SP3 (IR4).
He is telling me I need to "upgrade" to version 4.91.

Yes, pausing the Workstation service allows the app to open in less than ten
seconds.

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.

CSA & Novell Client

We run a Novell network and our primary authentication client is the Novell client. I've setup CSAMC v6 and have been tuning for the past couple of days.
I seem to have a problem with the Novell client login script. Whenever I login, the search drives don't map. I get:
FS-TBRHSC-ZEN
LOGIN-LGNWNT32.DLL-890: The specified server is unknown.
LOGIN-LGNWNT32.DLL-430: The following drive mapping operation could not be completed.
[ROOT S16:=Z:=FS-TBRHSC-ZEN\SYS:PUBLIC]
The error code was 8884.
I've opened up TCP/524 and TCP/427 to all of our Novell servers with no results. I thought it might be ephemeral ports to I opened them up as well.
This is really frustrating the heck out of me. Does anyone have a solution?
Ryan

I have tuned Novell in CSA 4.0, and upgarded the rules to 6.0 and they seem stable. Please e-mail me at dhudson at hanover dot com, and I will send you na export of my Novell tuning...

Novell Client for Linux 2 beta & VMWare - bridged only?

OpenSUSE 11.1 with Novell Client for Linux 2.0 SP2 beta.
OpenSUSE is installed as a VMWare Workstation guest using NAT. When attempting to use contextless login, the Novell Client hangs. If you disable contextless login and then browse to the right context, you can login OK.
If you change the virtual NIC from NAT to Bridged, contextless login works fine. If at all possible, we need to use Bridged instead of NAT (long story).
Any idea what could be the problem? From what I can tell, SLP, DA, etc are set correctly, but I could be wrong.
Thanks.

Use NAT only if you need NAT - otherwise use bridged.
Thorsten
I was afraid that someone was goign to say something like that :)
We use port security hardware on our network, which will disable a port on the switch if it detects multiple MAC addresses on the same port. A virtual machine's bridged networking sets port security off and disables the port, so we have had to resort to NAT for all virtual machines. We can ask for exceptions to be made for a subset of our lab computers, but that is not an ideal solution.
Not only is that extra overhead for us to manage these exceptions, but we will not be able to realize our long-term goal of providing the virtual machine to our students to use on their personal notebooks since we cannot provide them port security exceptions.
I am still having problems grasping the reason that a contextless lookup (via LDAP, I assume) would misbehave while coming from a NATted connection but a bridged connection works fine on the exact same virtual machine. Shouldn't the communication between the VM and the LDAP server work properly either way??

Novell Client 2.0 SP1(IR6) - TID 7008266 - Service/eDir Auth

Shaun et. al.,
I like what I'm seeing in the Novell Client 2.0 SP1 (IR6) release notes.
Tree or Server Not Found on login immediately after powerup is supposedly fixed with this release (a big problem with us).
Can you confirm that TID 7008266 is part of Novell's solution to the issues posed by installing as a Dynamic Administrator / System Account?
(mapping drives, etc).
pitcherj

Well, I think the efforts are completely disconnected.
The Client2 Efforts are nothing to do with ZCM.
I'm aware of the Interactive Services Detection defect and this would
not relate to that in any way. Nor would the Dynamic Administrator
inherit any rights defined by the Client2 Feature.
In regards to the SYSTEM process, it may but I have not tested nor do I
believe anyone in the ZENworks group has done so. However, I think it
would stand a decent chance of working. Of course it would require the
use of a UNC Path, and not drive letters.

Windows 7 with MDT - Novell Client / Zen Agent?

Been creating my Windows 7 reference image using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT - pretty cool). I'm wondering if any of you do the same, and if you do, do you include the Novell Client in the image? what about the zenworks agent? If so, what techniques are you using to install.. etc.
Thanks!

You can use this during your sysprep process that way it does not matter if it is installed or not.
