I am still using my snow Leopard server on the mac mini server. Used mainly as chat and wiki server. Will be soon killed when we deploy MS Link + Sharepoint, but so far didn't had much maintenance works on it after the setup, touchwood!

Sorted! Installed and additional DC in the branch office, within few minutes all objects from main office synced to branch office server, added machines to that domain with the local server IP as DNS and boom!

All working fine, users when logs in gets the mapped drive automatically mounted from the DFS. Changing the subject to "Solved" might be helpful for someone some day! Thanks guys.

Figured it out. The machines in India are on workgroup and workgroup machines has limitation on accessing DFS shared even if we authenticate by the domain user. Joined one of the users computer to our main office Domain and all works well. Installing an additional DC in India office and joining all users on to that domain and all should work. Will post the results

One thing I found from spiceworks,
To allow the Microsoft machines at the remote site to join the HQ domain, transfer files, and process DFS, you'll need to let the proper traffic through. Here's the list of ports that I allow out and in both ends. (Each port generates 4 firewall rules, 2 in each router, like the DNS entry above):

Active Directory Trust Policy TCP - Port 49155
Active Directory Trust Policy TCP - Port 49158
CFS TCP and UDP - Port 455
Kerberos TCP - Port 88
LDAP TCP and UDP - Port 389
LDAP SSL TCP - Port 636
Microsoft DFS TCP - Port 5722
Microsoft DFSR TCP - Port 49154
Netbios TCP and UDP - Port 135
Netbios TCP - Port 139
Netbios TCP - Port 138
NTP TCP and UDP - Port 123

Informed the networking team to check this and I hope its just the ports getting blocked!

Is there any way I could test the complete communication between the client machine to server communication. Just wanted to make sure there are no network level blocks on anything.

No AD experts here? Would be a great help if someone can advice me on this. Still looking at various options available on internet, so far without much luck!

Hi all,

I have a weird issue.

I have a windows 2008 R2 server as AD and using DFS for user shares. The files are on a Netapp on the same location. All users have a dfs namespace created and added the shares on to their namespaces. Their namespace is added on to their user profile and AD and when a user logs in from their pcs, gets a mapped drive with access to their corresponding shares. Users from our branch offices in India used to access the same via ftp using their AD credentials.

We got aquired by a different company and we were migrated to thier MPLS connection and as part of their IT policy, FTP is not allowed. The next option for me was to use the server as mapped drive (\serverip\sharename). One of our remote user who is in the same country connected using checkpoint vpn and accessing the server without issues.

Now from India anyone trying to access the server, gets the list of all shares and when try to access their folder, windows gives an error "Windows cannot access \ipaddress\sharename. Error code: 0x8004005.

I created a regular share on the server and given access to a user, and user from india was able to access that. But when accessing the dfs share we get this error. But the same user access works from my main office LAN. We are able to ping and traceroute the main office IP from India without issues, access a simple shared drive without issues. Have you guys come across such an issue? Seems like users accessing DFS is the issue, but other user using vpn able to access the same confuse me.

Please help

I tried adding open-files-limit=4096 in /etc/my.cnf and restart mysql. Then executed automysqlbackup again, this time got something else.

Errors reported during AutoMySQLBackup execution.. Backup failed
Error log below..
-- Warning: Skipping the data of table mysql.event. Specify the --events option explicitly.
mysqldump: Got error: 1142: SELECT,LOCK TABL command denied to user 'root'@'localhost' for table 'cond_instances' when using LOCK TABLES

Checking for fixes

Seems like forum admins can "pin" topics to the top of a topic listing

On a different forum, saw this solution:
edit /etc/init.d/mysql, and a few lines down, you'll see a line that looks like this:

exec="/usr/bin/mysqld_safe"

Right above that line, add a line that looks like this:

ulimit -n 16384

And then restart MySQL:

I couldn't find the entry exec

What should be the optimal value for table_open_cache?

@scottalanmiller Nice one! Is there any option to post this as a sticky? May be add to the welcome email for any new user? just thinking of options, as this will be really helpful for any member.

yes, it does have 2GB free space. This seems like a generic mysqldump issue related to the table_open_cache as per my search results but wanted to get the exact details rather than a temp fix.

Was checking on hubic site if I could find some details on the SLA. Seems like they are using ovh and found this link

Hi all,

I am trying to configure automysqlbackup on one of my linux servers. I configured it and executed, after running and taking backup for a while (I've selected to take all db backup), it started throwing errors:
mysqldump: Error: 'Out of resources when opening file '/tmp/#sql_3098_2.MYD' (Errcode: 24)' when trying to dump tablespaces

When checked on different forums they mentioned to change the value table_open_cache to something like 200 which by default 1024. I checked mine and found that its 400 now. This is a cpanel installed CentOS server with multiple accounts configured.

Could you please help me to solve this?

We were using Spiceworks, but after aquired by different company, we've been migrated to service now.
