UCS 2.4 - Univention

5 Univention Management Console
5.3.4 System information
The system information module collects information relating to the hardware of the current system. This
can then be requested in a support case, for instance. The transmission of the information is also used to
broaden the database of hardware supported by UCS.
All files are forwarded to Univention anonymously and only transferred once permission has been received
from the user.
The start dialogue contains the entry fields Manufacturer and Model, which must be completed with the
values determined from the DMI information of the hardware. The fields can also be adapted and an
additional Descriptive comment added.
If the system information is transferred as part of a support request, the This is related to a support case
option should be activated. A ticket number can be entered in the next field; this facilitates assignment and
allows quicker processing.
Clicking on Next offers an overview of the transferred system information. In addition, a compressed
.tar archive is created, which contains a list of the hardware components used in the system and can be
downloaded via Archive with system information.
Clicking on Next again allows you to select the way the data are transferred to Univention. Upload trans-
mits the data via HTTPS, Send mail (optional) opens a dialogue, which can be used to initiate sending
via e-mail.
5.3.5 Univention Configuration Registry
The Univention Configuration Registry module is used to display and change Univention Configuration
Registry variables. There is also the possibility of registering new Univention Configuration Registry vari-
ables. Further information on Univention Configuration Registry can be found in Chapter 14.
A search mask is displayed on the start page. Along with the category, search filters can also be selected
for variable names, the value or the description. Following a successful search, the variables found are
displayed in a table with the variable name, the value, the description and the category (see Figure 5.4.
Clicking on the variable name opens the editing mask for a variable. The following settings can be made
there:
• the value
• the category (e.g., desktop or mail)
• the type (e.g., string)
• the description in a number of languages
A few core variables - e.g. the domain name - cannot be modified directly, but only indirectly by means of
Univention System Setup or the UMC base wizards. These variables are displayed grayed-out. Changes
using the command line frontend are still possible.
Once changes have been made, the action can be completed with the Set button or cancelled with the
Cancel button. The last search is then displayed.
