I got a call early this morning from our head of faculty desktop support. He was trying to give a demo of WebDav through NetStorage and it wasn't working for him. Would I check into it? So I do.
Things don't look right. I don't use WebDav at all so I had to look up how to get Windows to do it. And what I found wasn't working. Grr. Some snooping finds that it was trying to get WebDav stuff at the /oneNet sublevel and not /oneNet/NetStorage like it was supposed to, and /oneNet wasn't giving anything. Bad.
Thus begins much snooping. In the process I learn that the proxy user set up by the NetStorage install has moved and this causes problems. Looking up how to fix THAT took quite the digging, I tell you. Found it, though. Silly Novell.
Then I learn the REAL way to get WebDav drives mapped (through My Network Places -> Create New Place) and lo, does it work everywhere. AAAAAAA! Did I waist 4 hours, or did I fix something somewhere? Hard to say, hard to say.
Then this afternoon I created a cluster resource for Zen workstation import. Two of 'em, in the end. Once I get the bugs worked out I'll have a round-robbin DNS entry set up for a pair of import services to load balance. It'll be fun.
