Home 1.15 - 2003/04/01 11:10 Recently I lost all my home directery infomation on my users at one of our Jr high Schools here in San Antonio. I had to hand enter the complete school (1018) accounts. Does home 1.15 enable to me reset he home directory info?? All the information was there it just did not create the path and I had to enter them individually....and with a machine that is kind of slow, it took a while. to this day I have not figured out what or how I lost the home directory info for the entire school.....any help would be helpful, because with my luck, I want to be ready just in case it happens again. We have 14 schools in the district and only 6 techs to take care of them.

Thanks for any help and discription of home 1.15 that can help :?:

Do you have some extra info for me? - 2003/04/01 12:24 I do not completely understand the problem you had.

Where the Home Directory attributes in the NDS cleared/corrupted or was the data on the disk lost?

------------------------------------------------

If the info in the NDS was lost, and there is a 1:1 match between a (sub)context of group and you can use the following settings:

Select the context of group.
Select the Repair Home Directories
Select Set NDS HomeAttribute do NOT create directory.......
Select the volume object for the homedirectories.
Set the "main"path is nessessary

e.g. homedirecotories on testserver/usr:homeshere the home dirs
VolumeObject testserver_usr.<a context> and set Path to homes.
IF the homedirectories exists in the root of a volume, leave path blanc.

If you have more than one "home"-volume, then make the correct sub-selection.

------------------------------------------

If the data on the disk was lost, restore the data or create new home-directories. If the data in the NDS is still there, then you can set the following options:

Make selection (context, group, ldif-file.....)
Select Use HomeAttr in NDS for creating ......
Do not set "do not create homedirectory)
Set the file-rights you want for you users.
Set space/direcotory limist if ypu want

Do a run.

------------------------------------------

If the volume was lost:
Restore the data from the backup and try option 1

==========================================

If there is not a direct relation between the homedirectory and the context of a user or membership of a group.
There is not an option for a reverse "matching" of the home-directories with the user's in the NDS.
If you need this, I can create this option, I want an simular option for myself for discovering unused Home-directories on my user-volumes.

==========================================

Question for everybody:

I can create a "home-directory" export/back from the NDS, so you can
allway "restore" the Home-directory attribute. Is this a use-full option?

New developments I'm working on.
-Delete homedirectories.
-Find Unused Home-directories.
-Find Users without a Home-directory attribute
-Move Home-directories with file-rights, trustees, correct file dates and maybe even extended directory info. (not a free option).

I hope this will help, please post any questions left.

Home Directory - 2003/04/01 15:24 No data was lost, it just lost the path to the users files in the General invironment the home directory data was still in the system I had the reestablish the path to the directory and the users file. Each one had to be done one at a time. was just wondering if the home program would allow me to do multiple fixes instead of one at a time....as most of the directorys are the same the only thing that changes with a user is the users data files name....

Thanks for your reply to this

I Hope you have enough information - 2003/04/01 16:09 I think you can use the first option for restoring your homedirectories in batches.

If you have any problem/question please let me known.
