Re: Unattended ADAM Replica setup

Hi

1. "Administrative Credentials for the Configuration Set"

The account that runs the unattended install needs access
to the source partition

2. "Service Account Selection"
3. "ADAM Administrators" ("Specify the user or group of users that will
have administrative priviledges for this instance of ADAM)

Those two are ServiceAccount/ServicePassword and Administrator
parameters in the answer file.

I have not tried this recently; if you have further problems please post
back.

I'm trying to create an ADAM replica instance with an unattended
install. But the problem is there is only one set of credentials
listed in the ADAM online install docs. This is the credentials that
the instance's service should run under (ServiceAccount and
ServicePassword).

(see
http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/Library/294afd6d-6dc9-4cd9-a666-ddb7bbf399361033.mspx)

But if you run the GUI-based install, it asks for no less than 3 sets
of credentials:

1. "Administrative Credentials for the Configuration Set"
2. "Service Account Selection"
3. "ADAM Administrators" ("Specify the user or group of users that will
have administrative priviledges for this instance of ADAM)

At the core of my problem is that my unattended install fails. Here is
my setup:

1. First instance is on Win2003 server which is also an AD DC
2. Attempting to install replica instance on Windows XP Pro machine
which is joined to domain
3. Unattended install file for replica looks as follows:

--------------
[ADAMInstall]

; The following line specifies to install a unique ADAM instance.
InstallType=Replica

; The following line specifies the name to be assigned to the new
; instance.
InstanceName=MYINSTANCE

;Source Server
SourceServer=adamdc.mydomain.local

;SourceLDAPPort
SourceLDAPPort=9389

; The following line specifies the TCP port to use for LDAP.
LocalLDAPPortToListenOn=9389

; The following line specifies the port to use for SSL.
LocalSSLPortToListenOn=9636

; The following line specifies an application partition to create
ApplicationPartitionsToReplicate="DC=MYPARTITION,DC=ADAM"

; The following line specifies the directory to use for ADAM data
; files.
DataFilesPath=C:\Program Files\Microsoft ADAM\MYINSTANCE\data

; The following line specifies the directory to use for ADAM log files.
LogFilesPath=C:\Program Files\Microsoft ADAM\MYINSTANCE\logs

ShowOrHideProgressGUI=Show
----------

But it fails with "The replication credentials are not valid or
insufficient (0x00004e32)"

If I force the replica service (via the answer file) to run as an
account that has access to the partition, will everything be OK? How
do I specify the other two sets of credentials in an automated fashion?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
