12.4 Updating File and Print Server

12.5 Using LSMT to Restore the Domain Definitions

We are now ready to restore the files previously saved with LSMT. The first step is to reinstall the LAN Server Managment Tools (LSMT) on the server. This has to be done as described in 12.1 Using LSMT to Save the Domain Definitions.

The next step is to restore the \LSMT\DOMAINNAME directory with all its subdirectories, containing the domain and server definitions used from LSMT.

Normally you will NOT need to restore the system related configuration files as CONFIG.SYS, HPFS386.INI, IBMLAN.INI, LANTRAN.LOG or PROTOCOL.INI. However, you will need to restore the domain definitions.

To restore the domain definitions you must select all the *.CSV files and drag and drop them into the <T2> EDITOR.

You must type in the OPT column an:

A
to ADD the users, groups, ACL's, assignment, aliases and applications to the domain.
D
to DELETE users, groups, ACL's, assignment, aliases and applications to the domain.
U
to UPDATE users, groups, ACL's, assignment, aliases and applications to the domain.

For the restore, you should proceed in the following order:

  1. Define all servers.

  2. Define all users (with initial passwords).

  3. Change initial passwords to the original passwords.

  4. Define all groups.

  5. Assign users to groups.

  6. Define aliases.

  7. Define applications.

  8. Define applications selector.

  9. Define ACL's for all aliases (with or without apply).

  10. Set the logon assignments.

To check that the restore procedure has worked, go to the IBMLAN Services icon, open the LAN Server Administration icon and check your domain definitions.
