<h2 id="logon_tips">Tips and techniques</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following tips and techniques help you to effectively use iSeries NetServer™ as
|
||
|
|
a Logon Server.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Verifying which Logon Server actually validated your logon</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Environment variables are available for Windows NT, Windows
|
||
|
|
2000, and Windows XP, to query this type of information.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Eliminating extra message questions for roaming
|
||
|
|
users logging on from Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP</span>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You may see a message similar to one of the following during logon:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> Your locally stored profile is newer than the one stored on the server.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A slow network connection to the Logon Server has been detected.</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Then you are asked if the locally cached profile should be used instead.
|
||
|
|
If you want to eliminate these types of questions and always download the
|
||
|
|
roaming profile on the server for this particular PC, then perform the following
|
||
|
|
to have the cached profile deleted after logoff: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>Open the registry and go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Create a new REG_DWORD item called DeleteRoamingCache.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Give the new item a data value of 1.</li></ol>
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that if the Logon Server is unavailable, this user will be reduced
|
||
|
|
to logging on locally with the Default User profile, if at all.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Backup Logon Servers</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>iSeries NetServer does not currently offer the concept of a Backup Logon
|
||
|
|
Server that can automatically take over in the unlikely event that the primary
|
||
|
|
server goes down. However, planning a careful replication strategy ahead
|
||
|
|
of time can make this process relatively painless.</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>Choose an iSeries server as a backup server that is not currently
|
||
|
|
configured as the Logon Server for the domain.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Back up the critical logon directories that you use to this server: NETLOGON,
|
||
|
|
home, users, etc.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Keep the user profiles in sync between the Logon Server and the Backup.
|
||
|
|
Management Central can be used for this.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>When the Logon Server is down or a switch-over needs to be made, select
|
||
|
|
the Logon Server role option in the NetServer properties of the Backup and restart iSeries NetServer.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If not using WINS, update the centrally administered LMHOSTS file if necessary.</li></ol>
|
||
|
|
<p> <span class="bold">Use Browstat.exe to verify domain status</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Besides nbtstat, Browstat is also a helpful Microsoft utility that comes
|
||
|
|
with the NT Resource Kit, and Developer Studio subscriptions. It has several
|
||
|
|
functions that iSeries NetServer can support including STATUS, ELECT, GETBLIST, GETMASTER,
|
||
|
|
GETPDC, and VIEW.</p>
