N1 Grid Service Provisioning System User's Guide and Release Notes for the OS Provisioning Plug-In 1.0

ProcedureHow to Install Windows RSH Server on the Windows RIS Server

The OS provisioning plug-in supports WinRsh (Native Windows RSH Service) for Windows 2003.

Steps
  1. Install Windows 2000/2003 Resource Kit and Windows Services for Unix 3.5 (SFU3.5) software on the Windows boot and install server.

    You can install this software either from Windows Resource Kit CD or an online location. These packages include Windows Rsh service and other tools like setupmgr, deploy.cab, and xcacls used by the OS provisioning scripts. For SFU install instructions, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 321712 .

  2. Install and configure Windows Remote Shell Service (WinRsh service) on the RIS server as N1 RSH user (that is, as user root).

    For more information, see http://www.microsoft.com/technet/interopmigration/unix/sfu/sfu35rsh.mspx.


    Note –

    Incorrect file permissions can cause WinRsh to fail. Symptoms of this problem include an Access denied message to the client and a log entry in the Event Viewer. To resolve this problem, assign full permissions to the user group Administrators/SYSTEM in the .rhosts ACL list.

    The following example shows the contents of the system-drive/windows/system32/drivers/etc/.rhosts file.
