Hi, have you had a look at how munki can do it?

May not be exactly what you want but worth a look.

Hi, you could try the mtk tool mob2loc.sh from https://github.com/filipp/mtk
Haven’t tried it myself but looks like it does what you want done.

Hi Maweee, the easiest way I have found is just
sudo dsconfigad -show | grep ‘Password change interval’
the value is now stored in
/Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory/Configurations/ActiveDirectory/yourdomain.plist
defaults can read the plist but in this format
sudo defaults read /Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory/Configurations/ActiveDirectory/yourdomain ‘module options’ |grep ‘trust password change in days’

cheers

Hi asdl, fom page 58 of DNS and Bind

fom page 58 of DNS and Bind

“The Zone Data Files
Most entries in zone data files are called DNS resource records. DNS lookups are case-insensitive, so you can enter names in your zone data files in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case. We tend to use all lowercase. However, eventhough lookups are case-insensitive, case is preserved. That way, if you add records for Tootsie.movie.edu to your zone data, people looking up tootsie.movie.edu will find the records, but with the capital “T” in the domain name.”

Having said that I stick to all lowercase.

Cheers

Hi Eric, you could try
sudo dscl . -append /Users/username RecordName “alias”

Hi James, if you have an Intel Mac then yes you can. There are a couple of ways to do this either via Boot Camp or virtualization. Boot Camp will require you rebooting between OSes and using parallels or VMware fusion run on OS X will allow you to run Vista, among other things, in a virtual machine.
From your other post I suspect you don’t have an Intel Mac, and I’m not sure you will get many, if any, responses to that post.

Cheers

Hi tunertapes, have you looked at passenger? Don’t know about “passwords for all the users that do not have a password already” part but it should do what you need.

You’re right nulldev, it does seem to talk about everything but…

Have you looked at the Upgrading_and_Migrating_v10.6 documentation, it runs you through a manual migration using the tools you mention in /System/Library/ServerSetup/MigrationExtras. Should have everything you need.

Hi again, the dscl . -list /groups GroupMembership | grep testuser line looks for any groups that testuser is a member of.
so for example dscl . -list /groups GroupMembership | grep admin on a test machine could return

_appserveradm admin
_appserverusr admin
_lpadmin admin
admin root admin

so for a user admin the 2nd line
dscl . -delete /groups/testusersgroups GroupMembership testuser
should look like
dscl . -delete /groups/_lpadmin GroupMembership admin
would delete admin from the group _lpadmin

Cheers

Hi Andy, I have no issues creating or deleting users from the command line using
dscl . -list /groups GroupMembership | grep testuser
dscl . -delete /groups/testusersgroups GroupMembership testuser replace testusergroups with group results from first line.
dscl . delete /users/testuser
Maybe if you post your script so we can have a look.

Cheers

Hey Jason, I’d be looking at the /etc/authorization file especially the system.sharepoints entry, maybe setting the group to a local or hidden admin group that doesn’t include your (admin) users.

Hi Bezzoh, are you looking for the Advanced Server Worksheet on page 197 of the Server Administration Manual?
