Administrator’s password
During the installation of a primary domain controller, the password for the builtin user
Administrator is set.
During the installation of a backup domain controller, you will be asked to enter the
password for an administrative account of the primary domain controller.
The password has to be entered twice to avoid errors. The passwords are not displayed on
the screen as they are typed.
Domain language
The term domain language is used whenever the language of builtin objects is referenced
(e.g. the object Everyone showed when domain language is set to ENGLISH corresponds to
Jeder in an environment with domain language set to GERMAN ).
The domain language of a domain is always dependent on the domain language of the primary
domain controller of that domain.
In a domain with “mixed” language various problems can occur.
It is not recommended to do that!
With AS/X 3.5 it was not possible to change the domain language, english was always
used. So it could happen that AS/X 3.5 was an english
backup domain controller in a
german Windows NT domain. You should use joindomain to “repair” your domain.
The domain language of a primary domain controller is evaluated when the databases of the
primary domain controller are initialized. Changing the domain language has no effect
without re-initializing those databases (re-initialization means loss of all created users and
groups).
The customer is recommended to use joindomain to do a new initialization of the database.
Everytime joindomain is going to create a new database, you can specify the domain
language .
To prevent the loss of user and group information the installation only asks for the domain
language if there are no existing databases or if the existing databases cannot be used.
(Keep in mind that during the preparation of an unattended installation the question is asked
to have the setting on the target machine.)
If you upgrade an Advanced Server for UNIX V3.5 (primary or backup domain controller),
the databases are upgraded from the older version, there is no new initialization to prevent
loss of exisiting users and groups.
That's why the
domain language cannot be entered. The internal setting of the domain
language will be default ENGLISH .
