10.8.2 Server with DHCP.Windows client problems...

I have just set up 10.8.2 Server with DHCP. I works almost perfect, but windows clients don`t get an ip-address! I can see the request in the log, but win-clients don`t receive the address! Anyone - help me.....
I have a screenshot from the log attached, the client "L084" is en Win7 client....

Current OS X doesn't provide Windows Workgroups and related authentication.   That's entirely different than having OS X Server set up to provide DNS services and DHCP.   Providing workgroups and particularly Active Directory authentication usually involve adding Samba or similar software onto OS X or OS X Server.
As for the "home" domain, I'd expect to specify the DNS domain that was configured within OS X Server.   Loading random stuff in there might or might not work, as some clients might try or test or use that.  If you're not using the "short" host name specifications, you won't hit that path.   That specification is the default applied when you enter just the host name and not the domain name in an OS X or other DNS query.)  But if something does try that, it'll append "home" and will probably head into the weeds.  (If "home" is the made-up domain that you're using for local DNS, then that is a domain that is quite likely to become a real top-level domain.)

  • Cannot connect to printer hosted on a Win2012 Server with a Windows 7-64bit client (Error 0x00004005)

    I have a Windows 2012 Server set up offering print services to our network, there are about 20 printers set up all deployed via group policy. Recently, on one of our Windows 7 machines I am finding that I an unable to connect to one of the printers shared
    on the print server while other clients seem to be able to connect to the same printer with no problem. Also, the printer used to work just fine from this same Windows 7 machine.
    To test things further I logged onto the Win7 machine as the domain administrator, connected to the print server and double clicked on the printer to attempt to install it manually (rather than letting Group Policy do it). When I do so I receive the following
    message, "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation failed with error 0x00004005.
    I have done some searching but the only references I am finding to this particular error message involved users attempting to connect to a printer hosted on a 32-bit version of Windows from a 64-bit client. However, in my case both the server and client
    are 64-bit.
    Can any one help me troubleshoot this 0x00004005 error?
    Thank you.

    Sorry for the delay. I just went and attempted to add the printer again on the client machine, the installation failed just as before, no log entries were recorded in the PrintService Admin log and the Operational log was disabled, I enabled it and added
    the printer again. This time when the installation failed seven log entries appeared in the Operational log, all of them informational, no errors or warnings, the events are as follows...
    1. Event 300, Printer {71688D29-F70C-42F2-90E1-DA5D450E772D} was created. No user action is required.

    There are a couple log entries in the Admin log indicating an error occurred, those errors occurred yesterday afternoon at 4:30pm or so. I did not try to add the printer then so I don't know if these are related to this particular problem or not. This same
    entry appeared twice at exactly the same time...
    The print spooler failed to load a plug-in module C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\3\PrintConfig.dll, error code 0xc1. See the event user data for context information.
    As a temporary workaround I installed the drivers for that printer directly on the Windows 7 client machine and that works fine, however this is less than ideal because I had set up group policy to only install that printer for specific users, not for everyone.

  • Windows iTunes Server with Apple TV clients

    Hello everyone.
    I am hoping to set up a new digital media system in my house. I have the following plan, and would like to know how well this would work.
    I want to install a "Server" box with windows server 2008, and put the latest version of iTunes on it, then authorise it with my apple store account and set iTunes to run on start up. Then, I want to get two apple TV's put one in my bedroom, and one in the lounge and hook them both up to the server.
    Next, I will rip all of the DVD's I own with something like MacTheRipper, and then handbreak them down into the smaller file format. Hopefully then I will be able to watch all of my DVD movies in both the bedroom and the lounge disc free.
    Also, using home sharing, will I be able to copy media from my, and my girlfriends mac books to the server, or will I need to be on the server, and copy from the mac books? (Could syncing help here).
    Also, for occasions where I am not in the lounge, bedroom (for example when cooking) would I be able to point front row on my macbook to the iTunes server?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to get going with this little pet project ASAP.

    You could always just hard wire the mini since it doesn't matter where you put it.

  • Combination: oracle 9i server with Oracle 10g client??

    Hello, we are running R/3 4.6C on Windows cluster system (node1-DB instance and node2-Central instance) and on Oracle 9i server. We also have several dialog instances running Oracle client 9i. Hardware and software (sap, oracle, windows) - everything is 32bit.
    We are replacing those several old application servers (=dialog instances) with new X86_64 hardware and Windows 64 bit + Oracle client 64 bit. The question is: is it possible (and also supported) to install Oracle client 10g 64bit on new application servers? We are not planning to upgrade DB server to Oracle 10g yet!! So, can we run DB server on oracle 9i 32bit and oracle client 10g 64bit on applicaton servers??
    Thank you very much!
    Best regards, Igor

    Hello,
    To Andreas:
    A little puntualization:
    the oracle client software version depends on the sap version and not on the oracle server version...as far as i remember, oracle client 10 is either supported for sap kernel 7.00 or the brtools 7.00, which means that you cannot use oracle client 10 with sap kernel 46D_EXT
    This is correct for <i>UNIX</i> systems, not for windows.
    On windows the client to be used is the same version as the RDBMS.
    I think this also answers Igor question.
    If you RDBMS software is 9i then you have to use the client 9i

  • GW8 HP1 Windows client - problems with restricted users

    I've reproduced these on a few clean WinXP and Windows 2003 systems in both a GW 7.0.3 upgrade scenario and fresh install of GW 8 HP1 scenario. I am curious if anyone else has been able to reproduce these:
    - Client ignores DefaultIPAddress and DefaultIPPort values for non-administrative users. If these are defined under HKEY_CURRENT_MACHINE\Software\Novell\GroupWise by the installer's setup.cfg, they are ignored when the user who is logged in is a non-administrative user. Administrative user profiles correctly pull these values but non-administrative users always try ngwnameserver. If the user profile is upgraded to an admin profile, then they start reading DefaultIPAddress and DefaultIPPort. This does not seem to be a permissions problem on the reg. keys themselves, as the values can be read by regedit when logged in as the user.
    - Client does not setup MAPI profiles for the Address Book for a non-administrative user. Windows Messaging configuration dialog opens if you try to use the Address Book. If the user account is upgraded to an admin, then the next GW startup will configure the profile correctly. Downgrading the user to a non-admin at that point allows the Address Book to continue to function.
    This also does not seem to be a permission problem writing to the MAPI profiles registry keys under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Windows Messaging Subsystem. I can manually import the correct keys when logged in as the restricted user and then the Address Book works without issue.
    It does not look like in both cases the GW client even attempts to access the registry keys in question as per RegMon.
    GW 7.0.3 client on the same equipment does not have a problem.
    Any thoughts? Any other issues people have seen running GW 8 as a non-administrative user?

    I've reproduced this now with the FCS GW 8 client as well.
    Also a point of clarification on the MAPI profiles -- in an upgrade scenario from GW 7 client, if the user profile previosuly existed on the machine and had the MAPI settings configured by the GW 7 client, then they will work fine with GW 8. The issue seems to only occur with new user profiles, logging into a machine as a non-administrative user. The GW 8 client does not create the proper registry keys for the MAPI profile under HKEY_CURRENT_USER and the Address Book does not function.

  • Snow Server with Wi-Fi clients - good idea?

    Hi everyone,
    I am planning on purchasing a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard Server. Currently we have 2 iMacs, one MacBook Pro and a PC (will be going soon!) all networked with a wireless gateway and AirPort Express. Everything works well. However I want to consolidate things. Store all user accounts in one central location (so access, management, backup etc. becomes easier).
    My question is if I buy the Mac Mine Server would I have to connect the clients (atleast the desktops) physically to the server through Ethernet or can ALL clients work over Wi-Fi? I think in offices/businesses etc. Ethernet is preferred and is common. What are the merits and demerits of Ethernet and Wi-Fi (other than the obvious ones)? What about speed? (we have 802.11g for Wi-Fi). Is accessing the Mac OS X Server over Wi-Fi in large numbers and no wired clients a common scenario?
    Is it possible to turn the Mac Mini into a "headless" server. If yes, how?
    If you have any links for this topic, that would be great!
    Thanks,
    Kenneth

    Wired Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) networking is massively faster than 802.11n 5 GHz dual-slot is massively faster than 802.11b/g.
    If you're sipping bandwidth, you probably won't notice the difference here.
    If you're slinging any serious quantities of data around, you'll quickly find yourself moving to 802.11n 5 GHz dual-slot (locally 200+ Mb), or to GbE wired.
    If you're in an environment with interference from other WiFi stations, then 5 GHz can avoid the racket in 2.4 GHz band. Regardless, wired networking typically has a much reduced likelihood of interference.
    I generally prefer to run a mid- to upper-end firewall, and to use one or more AirPort or Time Capsule boxes as an access point (AP), and preferably with a gigabit wired "backhaul" to the network.
    A Mac Mini is more than capable of running Open Directory and other such; just make sure you work out your archival strategy, lest you end up with a corruption or data loss or such. RAID is nice and a decent defense against a disk failure, but it doesn't protect against corruptions and deletions. (The Mac Mini Server can have interna; RAID. Other Mac Mini boxes can have external RAID added via the FireWire 400 or FW800 connection or (less desirably) via USB, and external RAID storage.)
    The Mac Mini box doesn't need a head, but it doesn't hurt to have an old LCD and a keyboard available for hook-up to the box; that equipment is cheap and common and usually already available, and it can make various management tasks easier. If you want to administer the box fully remotely, then investing in a network power strip or remotely network-managed Less- Interruptible Power Supply can be useful; having a remote power switch can avoid a few trips over to the box to reset or reboot it.
    And if you're setting up the network fresh, stay out of 192.168.0.0/16 private class c; use the 10.0.0.0/8 private class a or 172.16.0.0/12 private class b blocks, as either of these blocks tends to avoid VPN-related IP routing problems that tend to arise with subnets in 192.168.0.0/16.

  • 10.3.9 server with 10.4 clients

    We are having a host of ongoing issues with OS X server version 10.4.3 on an XServe. We still have a backup drive with 10.3.9 loaded. Can server version 10.3.9 be used with clients running 10.4.3? If so, what issues are we to expect? We do not want to have to reformat all the clients until we resolve the other issues. Thanks for any responses.

    We run Panther Server (10.3.9) with Tiger clients (10.4.3) just fine, except for random reboots every now and then because something makes the watchdog timer expire. But as long as that doesn't happen it runs fine.
    Certain Tiger only features won't be supported by Panther Server, such as mobile home directories, Software Update Services, certain managed client features etc.
    We decided to move back to 10.3.9 a while ago, after we had major lockup problems with 10.4.x (which seem to be pretty widespread considering the amount of posts dealing with similar issues), and are going to stick with it for a while.

  • 10.6.8 Server with 10.8 Client Issue

    We have some mac OS 10.8 laptops which connect to our 10.6.8 server.
    All the policies that are applied using workgroup manager work fine apart from the drive mapping ones.
    When logging in 70% of the time no drives are mapped whereas the remaining 30% the drives map fine
    This isn't an issue with our 10.6.8 workstations which map the drives with no issues
    Is this just a compatibility issue or is there something I need to change to get them working correctly?

    Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

  • ISight with ANY windows client (except Yahoo!)

    Hi,
    My iSight works admirably with anyone using ichat/OSX, but everytime I try to use it with someone using AIM/Trillian/or MSN, it doesnt work. Ive tried having my windows using friends DL trillian, trillian pro (2 week trial), and Ive tried downloading aMSN (open source OSX msn that is supposed to be able to do webcam), as well as Adium (which is a great program but apparently doesnt support video ! )
    Does anyone have any idea how I can video/webcam chat with someone using windows?
    ( I am using a Macbook with built in isight)
    Thanks

    I guess what Im really asking is: has anyone had success communicating video to a windows user with Trillian? I was wondering if I was doing it wrong, or if it was simply not possible.

  • One RMI server with 2 different clients

    I have an RMI server which implements 2 different remote interfaces (call them InterfaceA and InterfaceB).
    I then have 2 client programs, ClientA and ClientB, each using their respective interface.
    When I try to run ClientA, I get a ClassDefNotFound exception for InterfaceB - which CientA never references.
    I'm thinking it is because there is only one Stub class for the server, meaning it has info on InterfaceA and InterfaceB.
    My questions are:
    Is it possible to make 2 seperate stub classes from one implementation class?, one for each interface?
    If not, is there some other way I can do this setup?

    Why not have two classes on the server:
    ClassA implements interfaceA
    ClassB implements interfaceB
    and bind both
    objectA (instance of ClassA) for clientA, and
    objectB (instance of classB) for clientB.

  • How do I create a JMF streaming server with QuickTime Web Client?

    Can anyone give me some pointers on how to create a JMF streaming server and user can type in a rtsp URL on the web browser and be able to view the streaming video in QuickTime player?
    thanks

    JMF does not have RTSP server capabilities built-in. You would have to program the RTSP request-response protocol yourself.

  • Calendar Server 7 - Apple iCal clients problems

    Hello,
    I can not connect iCal clients with Calendar Server 7. I tried every iteration of the components making up the principal URI as described in the documentation:
    Click the server options and type the principal URI, for example:
    http://example.com:3080/dav/principals/[email protected]/
    In this example, the default URI of / was used during initial configuration.
    The general format is:
    http://glassfish-host:glassfish-port/base-uri/principles/user-identifier/So my URI would be
    https://comms.mydomain.de/caldav/dav/principals/[email protected]
    since caldav was the URL I entered during initial configuration of Calendar Server. The client always says that there is no calendar server under this URL. Convergence 2 and Lightning work perfect. I could not find any hint in the log files. How can I start troubleshooting this problem?
    Thank you.
    Greetings,
    Willi

    NOTE: you need the "/" at the end and also make sure you use the mail: address of the user and not <uid>@<domain>
    You can test the URL in a web-browser. If you enter the correct value you should see the name ("cn") of the user output.

  • Connecting to a Windows 2003-Server with a MacBook

    Hi guys!
    I'm planning on buying a MacBook anytime soon. The main purpose of this investment is work at school. Therefore I have to ensure that everything works perfectly, otherwise I would have to buy a Windows notebook (in fact not the kind of decision I wanna make).
    We have a Windows 2003-Server and every other pupil can easily connect to this server with a Windows XP machine wirelessly. They can use printers, surf the Internet and use all the network harddrives (like F: for everyone; P: for projects were only certain groups have access to certain folders; and Z: your home-directory where only the very user has access).
    I need to make sure 2 things:
    a) When I connect to the network via Airport, does the system ask me for my account, so I can have (or have not) access to files I am entitled to?
    b) Does everything work fine under normal condition?
    I am aware that something could happen nobody could have forseen, but as the MacBook is a bigger investment than a € 700 windows crapbook, I would like to make sure that everything should work seemlessly.

    Thanks Jay, It now auto log's in but it's still not acting like a networked drive - when saving an attachment etc I still can't save direct to the server as it doesn't appear in the listing.. I need to save to desktop or doc's then manually drag it into the server... this is a pain...
    Any further ideas.

  • How to use iCal Server with clients?

    Ok, so since I can't find this anywhere... How do I use iCal Server with other desktop clients? I've selected the user, enabled calendaring, the user can authenticate in web-based group calendars. But then I'm stuck.
    How do I give them their own calendar?
    In iCal, I go to Accounts and try and enter the info but it fails every time. I tried the dns name like so: "calendar.example.edu" but it generates an error. But the user can log in to the web calendar for groups. Where is the users individual calendar located?
    The help menu ignores that field as if it's not needed, but then it fails because the calendar doesn't know where the server is. The clients can't all be OD bound, so this has to work outside of Open Directory. According to Apple other CalDAV clients can connect too. How? Computers just don't "connect" on their own.
    Anyone know the answer?

    I was getting the same error when I tried to subscribe to a calendar using:
    Subscribe to: http://myserver.example.com:8008/
    principals/users/usershortname
    I found that if I added a trailing slash to the URL then it would work :
    Subscribe to: http://myserver.example.com:8008/
    principals/users/usershortname/
    (the way I found this was to navigate via the web browser to http://myserver.example.com:8008 then authenticate as a user, then navigating through to http://myserver.example.com:8008/principals/users/ where you can see all the user names all with a trailing slash after them)
    hope this helps

  • Windows Client Logons Stop - Auth still works.

    I've got this new XServe Intel in at the moment.
    It's got Open Directory installed and as a Master, Runs DNS and DHCP, as well as Windows services.
    Also runs Emails, IMAP and POP3.
    The problem I'm having is that the Windows clients that have been joined to the domain decide to stop working, and says the password is wrong until the you go into ServerAdmin and stop Windows Services and then Start it again.
    The thing is, if you try to connect to the machine using SMB from a laptop, it asks for the user and password and you can log in fine and it all works, it's just stopping the actual Logon with the Windows Clients
    Emails and things still authenticate fine.
    Any ideas, it's driving me nuts, I've checked out the logs with with Password Service, Open Directory, the Samba logs too. Nothing reveals anything to why it would be stopping. I changed all the logging levels to high too.
    I've occasionally had PasswordService crash, but it didn't crash this time around when it stopped working.

    I can think of 2 reasons why you might have this problem.
    1) WINS service is either not running or misconfigured
    2) The Master Browser elections are failing (this is also tied to WINS)
    I would make certain that WINS is correctly configured and running, then try to find out if another computer on your network is claiming Master Browser status.
    I had a similar problem in a network of all NT machines, and it turned out that one of the users was a little too smart for his own good. He had purchased his own copy of NT Server (don't ask me why....) and had installed it as a Standalone Server with a Workgroup name that matched the Domain name of the PDC. Master Browser elections were happening every 15 minutes or so, and people could use the network for about 10 minutes out of every hour.
    Good luck chasing down this problem.
