NSM 3.1.1, New users not managed.

When new users are added to a context with a User Home Folder policy the new users are unmanaged.

This is a new 3.1.1.15 install. If I right-click the user and select User Actions -> Manage it will create the storage and set the rights per the policy.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
David.

    David,

    Is this NSM install for eDirectory or Active Directory?

    Do you have an Event Monitor installed and authorized? If it's eDir, is
    it on a server that holds a replica of the partition you're creating
    those users in? If it's AD, is it in the same domain you're creating
    those users in?

    Sorry yes this is eDirectory 8.8.8, OES 11.2, SLES 11.3, NSM 3.1.1

    O-top of the tree
    |-Server1
    |_
    |-OU users
    |_
    |-OU storage
    |-Server2

    There are two servers involved. Server1 holds a Read/Write replica of the container that holds the users, it has nsmengined and nsmeventd running on it.

    The second, Server2, is below the first server in the tree in a partitioned OU, it has nsmagentd and nsmeventd running on it. It is the master of this partition

    Thanks,
    David.

    Do you get any data in the event.dat file?
    /var/opt/novell/storagemanager/event/data/event.dat

    When the event monitor get's an update about a directory event it will store that in the event.dat file until it's picked up by the nsm engine.

    # ls /var/opt/novell/storagemanager/event/data/
    .cacheindex

    I then stop the engine.
    Create a new user using iManager.

    # ls /var/opt/novell/storagemanager/event/data/
    .cacheindex event.dat

    I start the engine.
    Wait a little bit, a minute or less.

    # ls /var/opt/novell/storagemanager/event/data/
    .cacheindex

    Log into Novell Storage Manager Admin 3.1.1.15
    Select Storage Management
    Select the container that has the new user
    Click the check by Users to see the new user
    Right click the user and select Object Properties
    Properties tab:
    -FDN CN=testuser,OU=Students,O=TreeName

    So it was a simple over-site ( read as a dumb mistake ) the Event Servers and Agent Servers on the Configure tab were not Authorized...

    Thanks for your help,
    David.
