Import/Export of GIDS and UIDS not possible

[R-Z]

Thank you for the small update.
I applied the update on our Version V6up75.xxxx.5377 . u00832 downgrades smbd version 3.5.4 down to smbd version 3.2.15 .

I have done some testing and can say that this does not fix my problem.
By default i will now have the user guest and nobody in the user list. Without the update 0832 there was only the user guest viewable. If i want to import a CSV i will get the error as described in the original post.

But it is possible to get the list of users as wanted as long as the number of users generated by the GUI matches the same usernames and the same amount of users.
If i will create 5 users and export them as CSV, i will get a file in which i can edit the
UIDs. After importing this modified file the UIDs will be set as expected.
Any attempt to extend this list or modifications on only one username will result in an error on importing the CSV.

At the moment we cannot import our userbase because the import will not overwrite the user or group information as described in the documentation.

There is no method to import the list with an extension of users.
The import List must match usernames, only changes that are allowed are UID and GID. This must be changed in the webGUI.
The update is related to AD, so you dont need it.

Thank you for the info.

I have now removed the small update and done some testing with external ldap to the older system. This functions as expected but it is no solution for our company.

I have done an import of the settings.cnf file from the old storage for experimental testing.
I transfered only the CONFIGURATION, not the SETUP. This seems to be the only way to get the users and groups transfered to the newer system. After successfull reboot the list for shares, users and groups shows me the settings i want to see.
I exported the user and group IDs into a file but this was empty as expected because of the deinstalled small update. After applying the small update again, the export was successfull. The test export shows the same settings as in the old system.

I will now check the rest of the settings. If everything is OK i will copy data on the system for further testing.

btw. settings.cnf was exported from DSS 5.0up62 build 3518 to DSS 6.0up75 build 5377 !

Robert,

Hope it will be good news for you
Our developers did rewrite the mechanism so it's strongly recommended to follow it.

In case you are interested on getting Small Update for Release 5626 please contact our Support team via User Portal.

maygyver,

With this SU you can download CSV files for UIDs and GIDs while you are using ADS domain. Exported CSV files you can import to second DSS. Then your UIDs and GIDs from the first DSS will be the same on the second DSS.

any news from your side regarding GIS/UID? Is it working fine ?
