  • Question, in the bottom right corner of your taskbar you have a system monitor which is a little graph that's running across. I was wondering if you have the name of it because I can't seem to find one like that for KDE

  • Did you ever get around to making the video of how to modify an existing Ubuntu user account so that it will use the Active Directory Domain Controller rather than the local Linux PAM authentication?

  • Awesome stuff, I do wonder if this can be done using a different dns server and not one running on Zentyal.

  • Can you provide us the open source of SIEM, IDS, IPS? I would like to train on these tools. Thank you

  • This could cost a lot if you use it as a domain controller with windows clients

  • man, so much stuff in this channel, I hope I can watch and absorb it all ahahhaha (strugglin to finish my home server but a lot to do in my irl career etc damn)

    thanks a lot <3

  • I used this in an actual SMB (50 user) a decade ago. It worked well but they broke things with there updates so much and ignored their community so much that I inevitably just moved to running what I needed separate on a Ubuntu box until we finally moved to Windows Servers. Windows Servers are by far the easiest and have a lot of advantages in a Windows environment. But there are advantages to using Samba 4 on a Nix box. I'd probably not run Zentyal today from what I've seen. I might consider Univention UCS. Side not, uinvention actually has a module that integrated with 365 for authentication to meet at least the bare minimum of what an Azure AD Connect solution would provide.

  • The Platform is very great and cheap setup for Domain Controller & Active Directory. The only lacking with this one is the Group Policy Object. I think that's the beauty of Windows Server vs. Zentyal.

  • Could anyone help me a bit? I'm on the initial config portion of the setup wizard and I get an error "NetBIOS computer name and NetBIOS domain name must be different" or name invalid. This happens no matter what I type in when selecting a host domain name.

  • Can we get a video on publically available domain controller and at the same time securing it from attacks

  • anyone had any luck binding with sso like say jelly fin or nextcloud?? anyone able to bind vmware vsphere to this?

  • so far no luck installing the software properly. Upon install should I restart the server its either zentyal lost IP or lost internet connection. Unsure on what happen.

  • if not mentioned below, this domain join for windows PCs only works on pro versions of MS Windows, any windows home edition cannot join a domain. having said that, this is a good video, keen to try it in my Linux environment

  • i wish if you show us how to install Zentyal on a LXC Container

  • Great video, there is a bug in the webadmin. The only problem I have is trying to get the RSAT tool to work via windows 10, not sure if it because I am using a made up domain techie.local, I can join the domain but if I try to use RSAT it says the domain cannot be found, same setup using server 2022 no issues, not sure if you had similar issues?

  • Can you do a video about, Nethserver, ClearOS, Endian please. Thanks

  • Unfortunately Linux is not world-wide desktop OS alike Windows

  • What OS/desktop or thame are you running on your local desktop?

  • This looks like a child toy. Would recommend people to squint for a moment and use a reasonably good NAS to provide AD services instead.

  • I used the iso to create Vmware Workstation Machine — but everything gets installed automatically and after it finishes I only get a shell window — what am I missing here ?

  • Definitely wouldn't be using this anymore. Better alternatives but would probably suggest a cloud based solution

  • FreeIPA is the way to go, zentyal was good for it’s time, but now FreeIPA does so much more and is what redhat uses for RedHat IDM
