No login script or registry setting and file after ID migration

Yesterday I migrated a Netware 6.5 SP8 server to a OES2 64Bit server on vSphere.
I wanted to do a Identity Migration because a lot of stuff depended on the IP adres of that server and
it saved me a lot of troubles with home-directories.

After the identity migration some workstation did not execute there login script? Strange? Because some did. When we looked in ConsoleOne all of the application didn’t had any registry setting or applications files in them any more. While a college saw everything.

After some examination I discovered that the problem was in one replica, that of the server that was migrated. Somehow the stream files were corrupt or not migrated during the identity migration.
We removed all of the replica’s on that server , waited for a while and put the replica’s back on the server.

This was the trick.

ZEnworks 10 installing hangs Configuring ZENworks Database

Today I was preparing the N3098. The first exercise is installing ZCM10 SP1.
To my suprise the install hangs while configuring the ZENworks database. After some examination I discovered that the virtual machine (The machine runs in VMware Workstation) did not have a ip bound to eth0.

This was due the fact that the mac-adres changed for the virtual NIC. So SLES could not configure the ‘new’ NIC. After removing the old eth0 nic from
/etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules and renamed the section for eth1 to eth0 the installation went fine.

Site not availible

Due to a problem with my internet connection (some digging machine destroyed it) my site was not available for a couple of day’s.

But guess what…. I’m Back!
