Strange or missing 'Logon Name' entries in Inventory

Strange or missing 'Logon Name' entries in Inventory

Post by Mike Solow » Fri, 17 Oct 1997 04:00:00



    Greetings,

            Here is a problem I have been struggling with for a week
or so. First, we are running SMS 1.2 with no service packs and SQL
6.5.  Our logon servers are Netware 4.1 or 4.11 boxes. In the SMS
inventory we have been seeing entries where the client machines have
either blank field for the Logon Name or the entry is yyo with two
dots over the o.  Has anyone else seen this?  Only seems to happen on
our Win 95 clients. Microsoft Support hasn't been much help with this
one. Anyone have any thoughts? Thnks in advanced for any ideas on how
to resolve.

Strange or missing 'Logon Name' entries in Inventory

Are you running anything under SMS other than inventory which could return
an IDMIF, e.g. Audit's.
Confirm wether it's the inventory agent by removing the history MIF for a
test client under site.srv\inventory.box\history\<smsid>.hms, then force an
inventory on a client by using the /F switch to the inventory agent
executable e.g INVDOS /F or INVWIN32 /E /F.

when the history MIF gets recreated examine it for the logon name. If it's
still corrupt the inventory agent or version of the NetWare shell is at
fault.

1. 'logon server' or 'domain logons'?

Samba2 installed on RedHat (2.0.35) server for home network with one NT4 and
two Win95 workstations.
Trying to finetune the 'roaming profiles'. Server=user. Have svrmgr and it
shows Samba as PDC when NTworkstation is logged into the domain.

smb.conf and man pages refer to 'domain logons' to set for Win95 clients.
But, further down man pages, reference to "logon server" to be set, to use
'logon drive', 'logon home' and 'logon path'.
I wonder whether 'domain logon' and 'logon server' refer to the same
setting.

Also, do 'roaming profiles' apply to requests from NT?

And, the default pathway given for 'roaming profiles' is different in
smb.conf (file) and man for smb.conf.
