Hi there
how can i insert a time delay into the booting of a server?
one of my servers has ldap user and authentication data that my terminal server uses. after a power failure and when power is restored both machines come back to life at the same time, but i need the ldap server to be ready before the terminal server. I figured a simple pause would suffice as the servers are running 99% of the time and power failures are few and far between so im not considering wakeonlan, not sure if the network card supports it anyway.
I had a similar problem with picking up nfs shares. I found the easiest solution was to add the necessary commands to boot.local for restarting relevant services at the end of the boot process. In your case that would be the ldap dependent services on the terminal server. Dylan
thanks
