Re: QNTC and Windows Server 2012

Vern...that is true! I think the aversion is the word "Unix" ;-)

It was my understanding that managing security around NFS services
required a bit more work too...but maybe that's not true.

TGIF

Windows Services for Unix IS from Microsoft, so they should not averse to it.

We have a meeting slated for sometime next week. I am leaning towards
using standard FTP but that means they will have to run FTP services
on each of their file servers.

This will probably be the lessor of two evils in their eyes ;-)

I really wish that IBM support had various versions of SMBCLIENT
available for download based on the level of the O/S. I find it hard
to believe that, with all of their available talent, IBM can't have an
FTP site available with pre-compiled binaries for stuff like this...

Have them install Windows services for Unix and open up appropriate NFS shares.

Then you simply mount the servers from IBMi.

subject: QNTC and Windows Server 2012

Is it possible to use QNTC with the new version of Windows Server 2012 (R2)?

We're currently running SMBCLIENT 2.2.8 and it has served us well for years, but the Windows folks are doing some server upgrades to the new 2012 version and our Samba client is no longer working.

Based on a little research, it appears that only Samba versions later
than
3.6 will work with MS Server 2012. Since I am *not* a C-programmer and there doesn't appear to be any binaries available for our platform (at V6R1) it seems that our only options are (1) Use QNTC, (2) Convince the MS-Admins that they need to run the NFS server utilities on each of their servers so that we can mount their drives or (3) Convince the MS-Admins that we must use FTP to push files to each server.

I would prefer to use option (1) but it doesn't seem to work. So I guess we're stuck with options (2) and (3)...

BTW, upgrading to a V7Rx is not likely to happen since we're slated to
move off the platform in the next 18-24 months (to outsourced *NIX
servers running
SAP)

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Terry
