Q&A / WIndows domain
« on: November 26, 2013, 12:50:22 PM »
If I have students who would like to have their student folders on the file server that they are supposed to be saving their documents to available to them, would it be best to install and set up centrify express and have them join the domain?  Would it be best to set up something like a mapped drive on the laptop?

I installed centrify express on one and got the program to connect to the domain. After I restarted, though, only one domain account would actually log in.  It did do something that looked like it was downloading user accounts from the active directory server after I did something (and don't remember what).  Then, when I made a key from that laptop and updated other laptops from that key, they would not finish starting up.  Anyone have any idea where I went wrong?  I know the wiki documentation is wrong.

How would I go about connecting the user folders to that individual student's AD account?

Hardware Specific / Connecting Dell 1710
« on: November 26, 2013, 12:41:23 PM »
This is not a Dell 1710n.  Therefore, it has no networking capability.  It is connected to a Windows 7 64-bit computer that has the printer connected via USB and is shared. 

So far, I have found that it uses the generic PCL 6 driver (even though there are two of them).

I am trying to connecting using the Printers section under the System Settings Cog.  I click Add.  Then I click Find Network Printer.  I type in the machine name of the printer host and click Find.  I type my username, the domain name, and my password, and click OK.

It then has a listing for the printer in Samba.  Then the authentication window I leave as is.  My belief is that it will require the instructor to put in their username and password to allow the students to print.  If I want to set it up to always print using username, how should I set the authentication details?  If that fails, will it show up with my password in such a way that they can Show Characters and see my password?

On Choose Drivers, I select the PC: 6/PCL XL driver and click Forward.  On Describe Printer, I leave it as is and click Apply. 

Then I get a CUPS server error that says 'client-error-request-value-too-long'.  What does that error mean? 

I would like to set up the Dell 1710 printers on Ubemix.  How would you explain that to someone (me) who knows very little about Ubuntu and Linux in general.
