I used to install clearcase client on one particular windows domain and was ok. I want to install clearcase in different windows domain but it is not allowing me to map network drive. Do you know if this new domain will allow me to install cc client? One thing to remember: when type "net group /domain", no cc groups are found ....Is there a way to proceed there?
Thanks for any help !!
This is usually because the albd account user isn't allowed to map that new network drive.
See "Domain user and group accounts".
Plus, installing to a new Windows domain will have side effects on the existing ClearCase Views.

I can't get ClearTeam Explorer to register a new license server. It keeps referring to the old one.
The error I get back when I try to connect is that it can't connect to LICENSE_HOST_X.
I've changed the setting in 'Home Base's control panel to point to the new LICENSE_HOST_Y, which works for the clearlicense tool and clearcase doctor but not for the team explorer.
The license settings are contained in the Windows Registry at HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Atria\ClearCase\CurrentVersion\Licensehost for Atria licenses.
For FlexNet licenses, the PortAtHost value at HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Rational Software\Licensing\8.0\ServerList comes into play as well.
The odds are VERY good that you're dealing with Windows registry virtualization. If you open the legacy "control panel" on Windows 10, run the "ClearCase" control panel as Administrator (or open "cc.cpl" from an elevated command prompt) and check the server information there. If you see different values for EXPLICITLY elevated and non-explicltly elevated control panel starts, you have entries in the "user specific" virtual registry store. Please note that this is a WINDOWS function, and not a ClearCase one.
Disabling the albd service on the license server is a very bad idea unless that is the only function the albd is providing. Disabling it on the client will essentially kill any local views AND the ability to map views to drives when the "credential manager" service that depends on this service fails to start.
Check if any of elements mentioned in "How to change the hostname in the IBM Rational ClearCase environment" might have an influence in your case.
IBM Rational ClearCase supports two types of licenses, the Rational Common Licensing (FlexLM) and the Classic Atria licensing.
Update these files with the new host name:
Rational common licensing (FlexLM):
/var/adm/rational/clearcase/config/flexlm_host
Rational ClearCase Classic/Atria licensing:
/var/adm/rational/clearcase/config/license_host
So it can help to know if the new license server is of a different nature than the old one.
At the client level:
UNIX/Linux clients:
Update the new registry server's host name in the file /var/adm/rational/clearcase/config/rgy_svr.conf
Update the License Server using the instructions in the server configuration guidelines.
Windows clients:
Update the new registry and license server hostname information using the IBM Rational ClearCase control panel located under the Windows control panel.
If nothing work, I would, if my client is on Windows, search for the old license server name in the Windows Registry, and replace or even delete those entries.
On Windows, the OP V.Bogd confirms in the comments:
The problem went away after I disabled an "Atria Location Broker" service.
That was the service needed, as seen in this thread, for the old license manager:
No license available from ClearCase license manager;
Use clearlicense to display license usage

On my domain server 2012r2I am trying to deploying office 2007 but not all of the office I need to install only excel and word
I found an .msi file within the dvd installation and found many .msi packages
called ExcelMUI.msiand WordMUI.msi at directory
...\English\Excel.en-us\ExcelMUI.msi
...\English\Excel.en-us\WordMUI.msi
can I use them to deploy only excel and word through domain server 2012r2?
are they valid as .msi packages installer ?
Best Guess: I wonder if those MUI-setups are Multilingual User Interface setups. I think you should get on a virtual machine and try to run the setup.exe instead (if there is one) and then go to "Custom" or equivalent to see if you get a feature selection dialog. Then you should select Word and Excel to install fully and you can disable most other features (don't disable the shared features, just the other apps would be my suggestion - Outlook, PowerPoint, etc...). It is possible that those MSI files you mention can be used directly. You could try to run them - but only on a virtual of course. Or on a computer which does not matter - test computer of some sort. Look for a custom option and a feature dialog there too. Sorry, all I can suggest without installation media access.
Sure?: With all that said, Office on a domain server? Do you mean domain controller? (hope not). Sounds like a very dangerous move if you ask me - with all the security holes Office contains. At least make sure to run Windows Update or Office Update or whatever mechanism you have to deploy security fixes. Can I be curious and ask why the server needs Office? Is it for automation only?
Viewer for MSI Files: You can open and inspect MSI files using the free tools Orca, SuperOrca or InstEd (links towards bottom). I have an old answer on superuser showing how MSI features can be seen inside the MSI file.
I know there is a tool called netdom.exe which could join a computer to a domain automatically,but I need a script or program that could run on my server and move all (not one) my domain members (PCs) to another domain automatically and simultaneously!
Thanks in advance
The free Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) from Microsoft should be able to help you here...
While installing ClearCase Client I want to avoid providing clearcase_albd sevice account password to the developers.
Is there any way this can be done so that end-users need not know clearcase_albd password?
This is generally done launching a silent installation using a response file from a network share drive (ClearCase 7.1.x).
That shared drive is not accessible by the user, only by a special account that the support uses for the installation.
You find the same technique for ClearCase 8.x: "Installing ClearCase silently using a response file".
I'm trying to set up a backup feature for the users in a Active Directory Domain.
The wish is for the clients "my docuemnts" folder to sync to a folder on the file server.
Is this doable using Active Directory only, or do one need any third party applications?
If its doable, what steps is needed to set this up, on the server, and clients?
Thank you in advance
The feature you are looking for is call "Folder Redirection". It managed through Group Policy. Search for "folder redirection" on Microsoft TechNet or Google, and you will find tons of information on how to do this.
You do not need any third-party applications, and you need at minimum one Windows Server installation and one Windows Client (XP, Vista, 7) installation.
