RE: [ActiveDir] ADAM silent install

2006-11-23 Thread Dmitri Gavrilov
Since the current user is not an ADAM admin, he is not able to import
LDIF files (since ldifde is launched in current users context). To get
around the problem, you must specify SourceUsername and SourcePassword
parameters in the unattend file.

 

Another option is to import the LDIFs manually or from script, after
ADAM install completes.

Subject: [ActiveDir] ADAM silent install

 

Hi 

I am trying to install ADAM unattended to be used for publishing Oracle
DB's. 

I would like to grant administrators from the local computer as ADAM
administrator and I would like to import some of the accompanying LDF
files.

; Specifies the Administrators within the AD\AM instance. 
Administrator=MYCOMPUTER\Administrators 

; The following line specifies the .ldf files to import into the ADAM
schema. 
ImportLDIFFiles=MS-InetOrgPerson.ldf MS-User.ldf 

However the installs fails when I specify both options. The error
message is that the user have to be administrator to import .ldf files.
But the user installing the ADAM instance is already member of
administrators. 

My current workaround is to comment out the ImportLDIFFiles statement
and import them after the instance has been created.

Just wondered if this was a known problem.

Hi

I think the problem is with

 But the user installing the ADAM instance is already member
  of administrators.

The ADAM answer file reader does not seem to check that; if it
sees the Administrator parameter in the answer file it assumes that
the user running the install is not an ADAM administrator and as
this is a unique instance installing the LDIFs will not be possible
due to lack of permissions to modify the local schema.
It might be possible to circumvent this using an explicit SourceUsername
and SourcePassword in the answer file, but I think your workaround is more 
secure.
