Censornet

[Gatt]

I'm trying to setup censornet 3.3 but having problems trying to pull user & group info offn my windows (2k3 R2 SP2) domain

it keeps saying

ERROR: Setup could not contact the domain controller, Please check that the IP Address, Hostname, Domain, Administrator Username & Password ar correct

The above info is correct but it wont play ball

It found all my workstations fine and that they were running VNC

Im running in Ethernet Bridge mode if that helps.

Yep its the same , well about a minute out but well within the 5 mins

[plexer]

What timezone is it set to is that all the same too?

Make sure your LDAP path is the right way round and the administrator account is in the default users container.

@plexer - timezone is correct as far as i can tell (Europe/London) but also tried GMT to no avail

@ChrisH - LDAP is in reverse as it states (Pupils/Users/School)
Admin user is in the Users container

No joy

I will have a look when I get back to work but there was something that tripped me up last time I did a new install. I shall try to remember what it was when I get back.

Cheers chris...

Hmm cant find anything.
I have
DC IP address
Domain FQDN
Users
limitedusers (my top level OU for pupil/staff accounts) maybe it was a problem with a nested OU that I had?

administrator

Try pulling users from a top level OU if you ahvent already done. It doesnt help with sorting into groups but it maybe a start.

Still not getting anywhere with this. It only seems to be a problem with obtaining user lists from AD

U can get all the PC's on the LAN

I can open a shell can connect to AD using pam_auth

Have tried various different levels of my OU's (from the root - Moorside, to the lowest 'Year 07/Pupils/Users/Moorside'

I have the admin Container set as Users and the admin account inside it - though it's renamed from Administrator (could this be a problem?) the IP, FQDN, Username & Password are all correct..

Yet still get the "coud not connect to DC" error..

[ChrisH]

I cant remember if you still have to disable SMB signing to get it to work. Someone else will have top confirm that im not at work.

Have you tried leaving the Users OU bit blank? Should catch every user on the system.
