Install SCALE 22.02.2 with CORE 12U8.1 config – SMB problem

[speedtriple]

Did install SCALE 22.02.2, then applied config-file from CORE 12U8.1.

Later I have had some problem with accessing SMB-shares from one pc, while another pc did access OK – with same User.
Found out that in Credentials for the User the «Shell» was blanked out after migration to SCALE.

Reapplied «bash» as Shell for the user. SMB access now working OK from all pc’s.

Did you preserve the "secret seed" when backing up your config? Password entries are encrypted and so if the seed is lost, then they will appear blanked out.

Note: when I say "password entries" I'm referring to the normal unix hash and the smb hash. Both are encrypted.

Yes, this was a config with secret seed.
I also changed the User's password at same time as setting Shell to "bash".

(Veeam Agent worked all the time from all pc’s with backup to SCALE, assume it does not use SMB for connection).

Another small problem was the default network card was wrong after the config was applied.
Have two LAN card in the installation.
Had to re-apply settings for to the correct card in the boot-menu, to get access to SCALE webgui again.

Otherwise migration appears ok so far, using this method.
