Every time ...

Same as what Ken said, migration tool worked fine for me every time.

Good to know.

I did have to get NTS involved with a couple of my OES 11 servers, but[color=blue]
I put that down to my inexperience with Linux. And since then they
have all been solid servers.[/color]

The last time I worked with it, it was fairly stable once issues
with iPrint were sorted. The thing that bothers me is that it still
feels like an add-on without much direction. It would be nice if
Novell popped a startup page like Windows does with some basic tasks
to complete and ways to access those newly running services. Just
my opinion of course.

Well I am actually playing with OES11 SP2 right now and right off the bat
the installer barfed with “Failed OES Preconfig. This is a problem worth
reporting to Novell.” :slight_smile:

Just downloaded off Novell this AM and the md5sums are correct so it
is a shipping bug. Not seeking support, just providing feedback. These are
the kinds of things that don’t instill confidence. Didn’t even get to a
login before it starts throwing errors.[/color]

Well I’ve successfully installed OES11 SP2 and not seen that error but
of course there are a million and one variables in how you and I did our
installs except this forum is not the place to discuss those.

HTH.

To further not give the warm fuzzies. When I go to search bugzilla, nowhere
does it say OES under the product dropdown. So, no way to check if it’s been
submitted already.[/color]

Are you logged in? If not, you won’t see anything OES-related listed
since it’s not a public, free support product.

If you are logged in you’ll find OES listed under it’s full name of
“Open Enterprise Server” in the Classification box or Novell Open
Enterprise Server / OES under Product.

Clicking on Enter a Bug report, gives me a page:
“This webpage has a redirect loop.” and bombs.[/color]

That’s sound like the old “corrupt Novell cookie” issue. Since I can’t
recall which one is the problem try clearing all Novell-related cookies.

HTH.

No worries, I’ve worked past it.

Many spots on the Novell site don’t work properly with IE, oddly enough.

And I mean simple things, like logging in from various pages.
