Connecting Imac to X Serve remotely

I want to be able to start working from home and wish to be able to access the work server from my Imac and have no idea how to go about it......
any advice as to the easiest way would be much appreciated

Your use of Xserve implies you have Mac OS X Server around here; this really isn't an Xserve question.
Depending on whether this is a network question or a display question...
Install the Server Tools kit for Mac OS X Server, launch Server Admin, select the server, select Screen sharing.
This presumes you have a network connection from home.
If you don't have a network connection, then you'll need to discuss this with whomever is managing your local firewall and particularly the firewall on the office LAN. The usual solution is a VPN into the office firewall, where you then have what appears to be a local connection into the office LAN.
You can also use ssh or other connections into the box (intervening firewalls permitting), if you're comfortable with operating at the level of the bash command shell.

WMIProviderException: An error occurred when attempting to connect to the report server remote procedure call (RPC) end point

I am getting the following error message while trying to configure a database for a Reporting Service Server. Both SQL Server and Reporting server are 2012 named instances. I have 2014 instances as well on the same server.

Can someone help me on this please?

Hi Jaigi,
According to your description, you want to change a report server database for Reporting Services. But it fails on the last step and returns a error. Right?
In this scenario, it seems you are creating a report server database on another server via remote connection. Based on the error message, it has issues on executing the script for generating new database. Please check if you have permission to connect the
server and create a new database. Also please check if the Reporting Services Windows services is working properly.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Connect imac to pc server

I have a IMac running OS X 10.8.2 connecting wireless to a network where I have a PC server. I can RDP into the server just fine, then use the windows dialog box to log in. Is it possible to just connect the server data files to my Mac. Something like \\myserver\datastore ?
I have used the Finder to try to connect to the server, but its a no go. Is my issue on the server side permissions or is this not possible?
The server is MS Small Business Server 2003
Thanks
Jeff

Ok I was able to make the connection. I can see my folders and sub folders, however I click on one or any and the dialog box comes up with "redolving alais to "my folder name", so I cannot see the files themselves..
I went in and added my Imac as a computer in the active directory and also added my user name into the active directory.
Any suggestions??

Trying to connect IMac to Lion server (network account)

Hello,
     I have been trying to get this to work for a few weeks now. I have 2 Imacs and a Macbook, i am trying to login to a network account. I did the step by step to set up my server. I can screen share and see all the shared folders. I have a network user in the work group, and when i go to users on my macbook, and say join the server, i get host not found, but the server is active.
     My network is a DSL modem ( in bridge mode), then to a time capsule, that is hard wired to my server and one Imac, everthing else is wireless. My time capsule hands out the Ip's, and a DNS server is running on my lion server.
     Am I having a DNS problem, I am not sure what DNS has to go where starting with the time capsule. Should i have my time capsule just server one IP to my lion server and have the server hand out the other IP's over DHCP?
     My goal is to have network user account on my server, and no matter what computer you use, you can get the same information. Then set up mobile account for when my macbook is not on the network.
     I setup profile manager, and tried to push my settings to my account, but it also fails every time.
     I tried to follow apple's doc's on this but I have luck with some things, and now with others.
    I am running lion server on a mac mini server.
Thank you,
     Justin

HI,
my experience is as follows:
1. You have to setup a home folder for network/mobile users with Server.app
2. Create a group for network users with the workgroupmanagement.app from serveradmin tools
3. Create users with correct settings under "preferences" in workgroupmanagement.app, especially "rules"
4. Put the users in the group
4. Set the appropriate permissions to the home folder and share it over the network with server.app
After playing around I could login from a MacBook Pro and synchronize the users library and complete home folder. After testing and restarting the machines (Lion Server is on a Mac Mini) I could relogin with the network/mobile user.
My problem actually is, that I could not login from any other Mac. Everytime the system told me, that there is a fault with login.
Before I want to login with the network/moblle user on another MacBook i logout the user form the MacBook Pro.
No luck :-(
I test it with other users with same settings.
No luck :-(
I integrate the MacBooks in the Computer settings in the workgroupmanagement.app.
No luck :-(
I hope this thread give answers the next days, because I need a working synchronize and account management solution for different users and machines :-)
Cheers
Ishan

Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) iMac to PC server with fixed IP

I have setup my first imac and as part of this process downloaded Remote Desktop Connection for macs so that I can log onto my server at work. Problem is when I attempt to connect to my remote pc the following message appears "Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the computer that you want to connect to. Try connecting to the Windows-based computer, or contact our administrator"

So, what if those don't help? I've had "Always connect, even if authentication fails" selected for quite a while. It was working fine. Yesterday I installed Office 2011 (and immediately installed SP1), and now it broke my ability to connect to a Windows Server 2008 VM that definitely worked yesterday before the Office upgrade.
Anybody have a solution for this? It appears to be a bug in RDC 2.10. Thanks, Microsoft. Off to find a working RDP client for the Mac…

Connection to server slowed from Airport connected iMacs.

Remote iMacs now have very slow connection to Installed accounting software on server. Originally ran fast and clean.
What can be done to reestablish a fast connection to my Mac server running Leopard?

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
It could very well be that the problems are related to having installed a system update, usually not because of the update itself, but rather as a result of not having installed it properly, or having ignored Apple’s "Important: Please read before installing" warnings, etc.
Some (but not all) of the problems caused by not having installed an update properly can be fixed by (properly) reinstalling it. If you suspect a particular update could have a bearing on this, proceed as follows.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall any updates that may not have been installed properly. In some cases, it may also be necessary or convenient to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Connect Timesten server remotely without using timesten client

I know it's a silly question but this is what i want to do:-
I have my java application and I want to connect to the timesten server present on remote machine and moreover I don't have the permission to intall any Timesten Client or App server(weblogic/glassfish) on timesten server. The only thing I had is my java application with plane java connection class to connect to Timesten Server from my machine.
Is this possible or not? And if it is possible please help me out with some ideas...
Thanks in advance!!!

It's not possible. The client/server protocol is proprietary and undocumented and even if you could make it work it would be completely unsupported.
What you need to do is implement your own 'server' that runs on the TimesTen machine. In this server you implement all the database access requirements for your application. Your application then talks to the server using your own protocol in order to access TimesTen. Although it is more work this is a good design pattern and, if it is well designed and implemented, may actually deliver better performance than normal client/server.

The WSUS administration console was unable to connect to the WSUS Server via the remote API. (Server 2k8)

I have installed a new server for WSUS on Server 2k8, This is a stand alone server on Internet No client system is connected on this server as I have to copy these updates to my LAN which never connects to internet. (Previously I was using server 2k3. for
online & server 2008 on my LAN , now I have changed the server for Online)
Wsus has finished the synchronization & downloaded updates of around 67GB & its downloading more updates. The server shows me some updates are waiting to approved. but when I click the link for those updates I get following error message.
error code is as follows -
The WSUS administration console was unable to connect to the WSUS Server via the remote API.

I Have tried desabling the firewall,disabling the antivirus protection. Tried by changing the default rule Please Help.

Hi Sagar,
First, please check if the RAM is exhausted. When there is not enough RAM, this issue may occurs.
Please try to run iisreset on the WSUS server, then try to reconnect.
Also, please try to run the server cleanup wizard to remove the unused update.
Best Regards.

SQL Server Remote Allow Connections

Hi All
I am trying to connect to a remote server which has SQL Server Express on it.
I am unable to connect to the SQL Server. I have Management Studio Express installed on my local machine... when I goto File > Connect Object Explorer then it asks me for the Server Name: What do i type here if a remote one i.e. an IP address followed
by the port? If yes then how do i find the correct IP address for the SQL Server Express on the remote server and what is the correct syntax for it?
Many Thanks

Is it a named instance ?
If No, try just the servername while login thru SSMS
If Yes, try Servername/instancename
Here is the way to find the instance name

Connect the SAP B1 server to the Remote SAP B1 client

hi experts..
i want to know how to connect the SAP B1 server to the Remote SAP B1 client machine.

Hi Raleigh,
The reason why it is slow or hanging, is u need to upgrade the RAM in your Server. we have implemented the same concept and the speed is also good.
But we have done with one Single Server in the Office, which can be accessed both through Local LAN and via internet, for this we had given two IP Address for the Server.
One will be Public Static IP and the other is Local Static IP.
Hi raleigh,
I configured static ip with Nat mode in router.It was connecting from out side and while connecting it was asking Licence server ip,then i have given ip after that it was showing ths error"connection to the Licence server failed (60070-15)".Please help me.

I was wondering if there's a way to connect to my work server from my home iMac i7. I can't seem to get Share Screen to work. I have tried connecting to server using the vnc but doesn't work.

The easiest way would be to use Back to My Mac, but that will only work if the server is a Mac running OS X 10.7 or later and you have the cooperation of the network administrator.

OPC Server Remote Connection LabVIEW 8

Hi
Currently I am trying to access a VI with a Shared Variable from a remote computer using an OPC Client. I haven´t succeed on this becasue I cannot find the OPC Server on the Host Computer.
Here is what I am using:
Host Computer:
Windows XP SP2
NI Developer Suite November 2005
LabVIEW 8 with DSC Module.
Remote Computer: The same as above.
Here´s what I have done.
I created a new project with a library that included a Network Published Shared Variable. The VI is quite simple it just generates a number that is written to the Shared Variable. Once the VI was running I opened the Server Explorer on the host computer, browsed My PC and connected to the server Variable.Engine in which I was able to see my shared variable. Then on the Remote Computer I opened the Server Explorer and browsed on my Network Places and when I tried to access the Host Computer I got the following error: "Unable to connect to \\HOST! Make sure that this computer is on the network, has remote administration enabled, and that both computers are running the remote registry service"
I have tried by using the Matrikon OPC Server Explorer and I got the same results. I read many documents that refer tis problem as a DCOM setting because of the firewall fo XP SP2.
Here´s a list of the NI documents I reviewed.
How Can I set up LabVIEW, LabVIEW DSC, and Lookout to work with the windoes XP firewall

Setting Proper Access for Remote OPC Server When Using National Instruments OPC Clients
URL: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5C8A90CD57B279F286256C2C006F1EB4
I never got the results I expected. Then I tried the Matrikon OPC Simulation Server and the Matrikon OPC Server Explorer(Client) and I Succesfully connected between Matrikon servers and clients.
My project is based in accesing the LabVIEW OPC server with a generic OPC client but I cannot get the client to connect to the server.
I will apreciate some advice on this issue.
Marcos

Marcos,
If you are using two instances of LabVIEW 8, I would first take the OPC part out and just try viewing Shared Variables on the remote computer. This needs to work. One document to check is the following KB: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/6E37AC5435E44F9F862570D2005FEF25?OpenDocument. I would also make sure the opcenum.exe service is running on both machines.
Once browsing to Shared Variables works, you can test the OPC aspect of the Shared Variable Engine. Server Explorer is an older OPC 2 client, but should work in most cases to browse to OPC Servers -- you'll need to make sure the registry settings on the host computer are set up correctly as per the KB you mentioned, and also make sure to connect to the OPC Server, add a group, and add items manually from within Server Explorer, rather than using the Wizard.
