Wrong path while creating Home-directory

Hello,
i hope i am in the right directory for my question!
Under Leopard Server I set up an DNS Server wich works quite good so far...
When i try to set up the Home-directory for an new user the networkpath is always wrong.
My normal server adress is : "hale.school.private" the Usergroupmannager always set "afp://hale.private/user"!
Where can i change this?

_*Here an Copy of my changeip command:_*
+hale:~ Administrator$ sudo changeip -checkhostname+
Password:
+Primary address = 192.168.2.107+
+Current HostName = hale.school.private+
+DNS HostName = hale.school.private+
+The names match. There is nothing to change.+
_*And here theproblem in the Workgroupmanager:*_

Help how to give network path while creating oracle directory.
--when i give local machine path then it will create at local machine where oracle is installed. but not able to create at other machine.
Zakir

Well for starters your directory object is called TESTDIR and in your fopen statement you are referring to TEST2DIR.
On top of that I'm not sure oracle is happy to refer to network locations. I think you have to map it to a regular drive mapping (shared directory) type path. Can't say I've every tried to do it though.

Specifying Directory path while creating Oracle Directory

Hi All,
I would like to know the restriction applies on directory path while creating oracle directories.
shold directory exist on local server? What about remote locations?
Please share your thoughts.

It is only when oracle comes to use that directory object that it will need to exist otherwise you'll get an error. Oracle doesn't check the path upon creation of the directory object itself.
The directory object should point to a path that is visible from the database server such that, if you were logged directly onto the server itself, you could access that directory from there (and preferably without UNC paths, as Oracle has been known to have issues with those in some versions). Typically the directory will be on the server itself, but if it must be on a remote location it will need to be mapped as if it is a local directory. You can't expect Oracle to hack across the security of a network and break into another machine to access it's directories without explicit permission having alreayd been granted at the operating system level.

Error creating home directory - Access is denied.

Hi,
I am getting one issue on the task while provisioning homedrive and homedirectory on AD resource.
Error creating home directory '\\rusehf06\home\rc9782rf': ': Access is denied
Please help. Thanks in advance.

These error messages are typically pretty obvious with permission errors. It's getting the correct permissions that is the challenge. I would suggest you start by adding the user whom is in your IT Resource for Active Directory into the local administrators group for the server you are trying to create the folder on. Also, consult with your AD Admins to get it resolved the quickest most likely. Their skill set will be better than what we can provide.

I'm confused. It looks like you already have /home configured:
<pre># zpool status
pool: home
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:

home ONLINE 0 0 0
c4t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0

What is the problem? Looks like you already have /home configured. Are you sure automounter is not running?
Try this:
<pre>zfs set mountpoint=none home
rm -rf /home

Maximum length of the Path that can be given while creating a directory

Hi
I would like to know the maximum length of a path that can be given in solaris?
e.g i have to create a directory like this
mkdir /a/b/c..../z ]---> what can be the max length ?
in the same way while reading a path also.
i heard something like getconf PATH_MAX .But i dont know what is this used for.
the value i got when i executed the above command is 1024 ]-->what is this value?
Thanks in advance

e.g i have to create a directory like this
mkdir /a/b/c..../z ]---> what can be the max length ?Very long in some sense. But mkdir will probably fail if handed a string longer than PATH_MAX.

Wrong paths in WGM Home tab. How to correct?

I'm having some trouble with creating home directories on my server. The create button is not working and there are a couple of bad paths in the WGM Home tab. How can I delete these entries in the Home tab and make sure that only valid paths are in there. I am unable to delete a couple, the minus button is greyed out.
Just to provide a little further info, I had DNS running on this server (I think incorrectly) and one of the paths that I cannot delete is a path listing the server with it's DNS name /Network/Servers/ns.eocserver.local/Users/<user>.
The path should be /Network/Servers/eocserver.local/Users/<user>. How do I clean up these entries?

Here's another interesting aspect to my predicament. If I log into terminal, instead of showing:
eocserver:~ administrator$
for my terminal prompt i get the following:
ns:~ admin$
My server is called "eocserver" and not "ns" and my DNS is now shut down.
Another curious thing is that now any new accounts that are created load on the client eMacs within a second compared to at least 30 seconds before this all happened. Not sure why that is but that part is awesome. Since the day this server was set up clients have had to wait for at least 30 seconds for their accounts to load on the client machines.
It's like something went wrong and as a result the login process for clients is way better. This is rather disconcerting and I'd like to clean it up but I don't want the lag to return.

Create Home Now in WGM does not create home directory until...

We are using newest ver. of Leopard on our Xserve and have some issues with Workgroup Manager. We can create new users and specify the location of their HOME, however, when we try to Create Home Now and Save, the directory does not get created! No errors though, just silence and no action. Tried many times and no go.
UNTIL.... We log in with than new username directly into the server using Remote Desktop. Once logged in to Xserve as local user, the Home Directory magically appears.
What is happening?

Not sure what's happening - you can check the logs for clues.
You can also use createhomedir -a That will create home dirs for all users (and will not touch existing home dirs)

SQL Server 2012 is prompting wrong message while creating new instance.

Summary:
While performing two task simultaneously 1) deleting existing SQL Server 2008 r2 instance 2) Creating SQL Server 2012 Instance. I received wrong message.
Explanation:
I have SQL Server 2012 setup in my server. By mistake I created SQL Server 2008 r2 instance.
Now simultaneously I was performing two task 1) deleting SQL Server 2008 r2 instance 2) Creating SQL Server 2012 Instance.
While creating SQL Server 2012 instance i received popup message "Another SQL Server 2012 setup is running but the running setup was not SQL Server 2012, it was SQL Server 2008 r2.

Hello,
You should not run two SQL Server setups at the same time. In fact, SQL Server has a rule to verify there is no pending restart because of an installation/uninstallation in progress.
Please cancel the installation of SQL Server and continue uninstalling the SQL Server 2008 R2 instance.
Hope this helps.

Path for WebApplication home directory?

Hi
I have a webapplication in which I need to create a directory at the same level as WEB-INF. The way I like to implement is that the path should be read from a .properties file. What path should be given such that the directory is always created at the same level as WEB-INF?
I hope the question is clear. Pls help me in this.

Time to search PATH varies by HOME directory path ?

I have a rather strange question, as I am running in a somewhat strange environment. I have a SunBlade running Solaris connected via Cisco VPN to my corporate network. After I start the VPN I run a number of mount commands to make my local environment look something like my environment in the office, including mounting my home directory onto my local workstation. I then change the value of the HOME variable to point to the nfs mount for my home directory and update the PATH so that my local (non-remote) bin directories are before the ones on my remote mounts (I use Solaris at work as well).
I've been running this way for a couple of years and it works well, but all of a sudden trying to start an application from my local system started to take a really long time. I narrowed it down to:
if I set HOME=/export/home/localuser it works fine
if I set HOME=/export/home/remoteuser (which is where my home directory is mounted) it does not
It is not the PATH itself as I have the problem even when i don't change it at all. I have a copy of dtpad in /export/home/localuser/bin and that path is the first value in the PATH variable. With HOME set the first way "time which dtpad" takes 0.269s and with it set the second way it takes 4.530s.
This does not make any sense to me. Can someone that understands how the PATH searching algorithm works shed some light on this ?
Thanks

One more thing. I delete the copy of dtpad in my home directory and let it find the real one using the PATH. With HOME set to the local directory it took 0.527s to find it. With HOME set to the remote directory it took 2.139s. Same PATH in both cases. So how does $HOME fit into the $PATH search ?

Create home directory using powershell

Hi Experts -
Currently AD 11.1.1.5 is deployed. The home directory is been prepopulated at the time of creation of AD account, and there is a custom task called updatehomedir which gets triggered on success response of create user.
The problem is, the customer has 40 domain controllers and if I use the OOTB process tasks, it fails to find the user and gives me an invalid structure error, meaning it is not able to find the user. So when the first request goes for creating the user, it picks up a random domain controller and if the home directory parameter is been sent in the creation request it fails. so, the post user creation task works fine.
The Ad connector creates the home directory with the full permissions to the user on that folder, and also it clears out all the existing permissions. By that, it does not inherits the container permissions. SR said, that it is an ER.
How do I implement it.
The approach that looks feasible is
1. Change the provision attribute mapping for homeDirectory to say customHomeDirectory
2. Disable the home directory update task
3. Call a powershell after creation action
4. In that powershell get the process form value, and run the creation of home directory with appropirate permissions.
And I cannot test it, as the only environment where i have folders is production...
-Thanks
Kunal Jain

After some decompilation I found this
DirectorySecurity dirSecurity = new DirectorySecurity();
PropertyValueCollection pvc = directoryEntry.Properties[ActiveDirectoryConnector.ATT_OBJECT_SID];
SecurityIdentifier sid = new SecurityIdentifier((byte[])pvc[0], 0);
dirSecurity.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule(sid, FileSystemRights.FullControl, InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit | InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit, PropagationFlags.None, AccessControlType.Allow));
Directory.CreateDirectory(directoryName, dirSecurity);
Does this strip of the permissions of the file admins on the container. that is inheriting is not done????

mounted or unmounted? I suspect it's the former.
I've never booted up from Leopard install disk. Can you give me steps?
while the problem seems to be with your TM disk you can try repairing both of them from the install DVD. insert the DVD and reboot normally. hold "c" at the chime. you'll be booted into leopard installer. once past the language selection screen choose 'disk utility" from Utilities menu at the top.
