Can not locate Workgroup Manager; possibly not installed?

Here's the story:
I'm trying to get my new camera software installed and one of the steps is to launch Image capture.
Image capture gives me an error saying: "No Image Capture Device connected."
Apple says to fix this I need to open Workgroup Manager (in /Applications/Server/) and change some preferences.
But, I can not find Workgroup Manager for the life of me. I used spotlight with no luck. I also don't have a folder in Applications titled Server. This worries me and makes me wonder if the program could have been deleted or not installed at all?
Any suggestions on how to find WgM would be welcome.

Whoa... somebody got confused someplace... I wouldn't guess you are running OSX Server on a MacBook, but the oSX CXlient instead, so no idea how Apple came up wih that solution.
You likely should not have a Server folder there, nor the APP they speak of.
What kind of Camera exactly, and how does it connect?

HT1338 XSERVE 10.6.8 is running very slow, and Workgroup Manager is not responding

XSERVE 10.6.8 is running very slow, and Workgroup Manager is not responding. There is no more updates to download.

No, you don't want to upgrade over a buggy system, Lion has issues of it's own that will only complicate matters, plus Lion is slower than Snow Leopard.
Learn all the pitfalls before you upgrade to Lion, like all your Rosetta/older programs will no longer work and more.
Leave Lion for a new hardware purchase is my advice, it's still got plenty of security and other issues.
For your performance, your likely better off replacing the hard drive with a 7,200 RPM model and maxing the RAM, download the free MacTracker to find out your specs, and OtherWorld Computing is good for videos, tools and parts.

2. Format the hard disc and reinstall snow leopard.
That will work, provided your data is off the machine first.
Now how do i reinstall snow leopard as it was an online purchased upgrade from leopard.
The 10.6 Snow Leopard disk that you upgraded 10.5 Leopard from actually has the full OS X 10.6 on it.
All you have to do is stick the disk in and hold the c key down while booting, use Disk Utility to erase the entire drive, quit and install 10.6.
Of course your not going to get the free iLife that came with the 10.5 grey disks, see if you can first install 10.5 with the same methods, then setup with the same user name as before, then upgrade to 10.6
I think Apple nulled booting off the 10.5 disks, but it won't hurt to try.
Another method would be to install 10.6 fresh by itself, then use the program called Pacifist to extract iLife from the 10.5 disks.

My LAPD & kerboros service is stopped and workgroup manager is not working either

Hi I had to restore from a back up a while ago but the workgroup manager seems to have lost all of the passwords and the LAPD & kerboros service wont start in th open directory mater.
I have been told that if I make the opendirectory master a stanalone and then back to open dirctory master this will fix the problems.
Any advice for this server dimwit?
Cheers
Bricko

Have you tried demoting and repromoting? It usually does do the trick. Also, yes, all of the passwords were erased, they do not get saved. They will all need to be reset to something generic, given out to all the users and then have them change their passwords to something personal via the web portal.

Keep getting "Can't Locate Disk" error message when installing software

Hi!
I'm trying to install some software on my PowerBook G4 . . . every time I follow this routine:
1) I insert the installation disk of the software.
2) Classic 9 starts up - I then get the folder on the disk with then install icon.
3) I toggle through 3 or 4 screens, agreeing to licenses, etc. - then . . .
4) When I click on the "OK TO INSTALL" button an error message appears and stops my progress - it reads, "Can't locate disk" - duh! We've been working off this disk for 5 minutes - the disk shows up on the desktop - I can locate the disk - why can't my computer? Please help me if you are able - thanks!

Thanks Bob! My problem was that I was following advice from elsewhere on the internet that said I should burn a DVD in UDF format when in fact just burning it using disk utility in ISO made it work. Thank you so much!

Can I use Workgroup Manager with a 10.4 server and a 10.6 admin station?

I just upgraded my admin station from 10.5.x to 10.6.8. Now my Workgroup Manager won't work. I'm assuming it's because of the new operating system. I keep getting an error message about ememory allocation. My server is still running 10.4.11. What can I do besides getting a new server to make this situation work? I really need to control what programs that my students can access and I'm very frustrated right now. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hello, I think it always been version specific, & is no longer even included...

But as mentioned there, some older versions are available, but I think you'll have to figure a way to run your version on the older OS.

Firefox does not open, profile manager does not open, not listed in task manager

firefox worked fine about two days back. Our norton expired so I downloaded Kaspersky Anti-Virus 12.0.0.374. I don't know if that has any connection to firefox not working.
I click on the icon, nothing happens. The task is not mentioned in the task manager.
I try to run it in safe mode, nothing happens. I try to open the profile manager, nothing happens! What can I do to fix this?

Thank you fmdeveloper! I did some more research after I posted the question and it turns out Kaspersky was not the issue. I had done a system restore two days back and it says online that after a system restore, you have to uninstall and reinstall firefox. So I uninstalled it (kept my settings and data) and reinstalled it and voila, it works!
I did switch from Kaspersky to Avira too for Anti-vifus, don't know if that's a sane decision or not, but it's good to know that Kaspersky was not the culprit!

Firewire disk not visible in Workgroup Manager

I'm setting up an only MAC server for our graphic arts class in our middle school.
The server is a G4 with a small HD, so I have an external Maxtor firewire drive I wanted to use for file storage.
The firewire drive shows up on the server desktop, but not in Workgroup Manager. I've checked for other ways to share the firewire drive, but can't find anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks.....
I want to make a good showing with the MAC server to try and convince the school skepticx.

I can't remember if this is a requirement or not.... (easier to try it than look-up answers in docs sometimes)...
Is the FW drive in MS-DOS format (look at it with Disk Utility). If so, try erasing it in Disk Utility and switch to Mac OS Extended (journaled optional but recommened).

Can no longer change or Edit in Workgroup Manager

I just moved and I was migrating my files to another computer and domain. No I can no longer authenticate to my workgroup manager to change anything.
Here is what I did.
Moved across the country
Carbon Copied my 10.4 Server from my G5 tower to a G5 XSERVE
Upgraded to 10.5.
When I thought everything was OK changed my Cable modem IP to me.
Now I cannot change or add anyone in Workgroup Manager.
Help

Exactly the same thing happened to me with two sites I managed after having upgraded the server to 10.5. One site I know the root password and can authenticate to Workgroup Manager using that, all other admin accounts don't work. The other nearly all accounts were broken so I had to use passwd and get the users to change their password before they could log into client machines. I can't get administrative access to Workgroup Manager.
The interesting thing in both these cases is that the password server logs show the authentication as having succeeded, however Workgroup Manager says the authentication has failed.
Jan 23 2008 10:22:35 AUTH2: {0x00000000000000000000000000000001, diradmin} DHX authentication succeeded.
Here's hoping that 10.5.2 fixes these problems.

Workgroup Manager doesn't show all group members

Hello,
Workgroup Manager does not display all members of certain a certain group I defined a while ago. I figured out that it is very likely that the group record is corrupt - or at least it is not interpreted the right way anymore.
What confused me are the different (Open Directory?) Attributes that could have to do with the problem:
dsAttrTypeStandard:GroupMembers
dsAttrTypeStandard:GroupMembership
dsAttrTypeStandard:Member
dsAttrTypeNative:memberUid
dsAttrTypeNative:apple-group-memberguid
I searched the UserManagement_Adminv10.4B.pdf for those keywords, but there is nothing in it. A Google search was of no help, either. Can someone help me with that?
Cheers,

PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Server Admin Software 10.4.7
iBook G3 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Exporting the user list does not export the group list, or any related user info. Including passwords.
The only sure way to export and import users and groups with any automation is by using the archive feature in the OpenDirecroty tab in server admin.
Do you still have the old 10.5 system? If so, run the archive.
On your new computer, demote the server to standalone. Then promote it to master.
Restore your archive on the 10.6 machine, and you should be back up and running.

Profile manager or workgroup manager

Hi,
I've been using OS X server for a while but stayed on 10.5. Today I have to upgrade and I'm a little confused between profile manager and workgroup manager.
From my understanding they do both the same. Does Apple have the intention to stop WGM?
Are there any recommendations on one or the other? We're in a school with about 300 students. My feeling is that WGM has more setting but may be Profile Manager is more reliable?
Thanks for your help, Guy

Profile Manager is definitely NOT more reliable, especially as the number of devices gets over 1,000 (speaking from experience and many Apple Cases later).
Profile Manager is "the" replacement for Workgroup Manager, but at this point is still not "a" replacement for Workgroup Manager. Workgroup Manager can do more as far as setting preferences.
For example, I can set all Google Chrome preferences for all computers in our district with Workgroup Manager. Can't be done with Profile Manager.
I can set Printing Preferences for all our computers in the district (which printers get added, if they should duplex, if secured printing is desired, etc) using Workgroup Manager. Cannot do that with Profile Manager.
Of course there are some things Profile Manager can do that Workgroup Manager cannot, but there are other utilities (Munki, DeployStudio), that can take care of that. Profile Manager is currently NOT a replacement for Workgroup Manager.

Workgroup Manager doesn't affect app restrictions

Hi
I've set up a new mac mini with Lion Server, and a new iMac with Lion. I configured a set of network accounts on the Lion Server (its a directory master) using Workgroup manager. I set a group heirarchy for (lets just say for example) "thefamily" with subgroups "theadults" and "thekids". I downloaded the Workgroup Manager app and installed on the iMac, where I used it to connect back to the Lion Server Open Directory and set up application restrictions for "theKids". I set up all accounts in "thefamily" to create mobile accounts. I created a "testkid" account as a member of "thekids" group and logged in via the iMac. Log-in and home-sync seemd to go OK BUT all the applications that I had restricted in Workgroup Manager are still accessible! What can I do to fix this?
Thanks

Make sure your user accounts are network accounts. (You need to configure OpenDirectory via the Users Next Steps tab in Server app on the server, then create user accounts from the Server app.)
Place the restrictions on the Network accounts.
Log everyone off of the iMac, then log in using a local admin account on the iMac.
Make sure the iMac is connected to the right OpenDirectory server. Also make sure that network logins are allowed and displayed on the login screen.
Log out of the iMac and log back in as a network user. You will need to click the Other button on the login screen, then type in the network user name and password.
This, in theory, should be the necessary steps to make the restrictions work. From what your description I am guessing you were placing restrictions on local accounts (which also show up in Workgroup Admin), and unless you set up OpenDirectory, there won't be any network accounts in LION. (At least that has been my experience so far.)
Hopefully this was able to help you somewhat.

Is it possible to install a consumer app for mass usage that would alter the ios device proxy settings? Over the air not supervised. Can an app company use an MDM server to do this if the customer consents?

HI Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Could you expand on your answer, which bit is very doubtful?
Also in your knowledge would Apple work with a company and license it if the software they were developing was desired by consumer demand?
Thanks
