Script won't run on machine w/MAC OSX Server 10.4.9

Why won't the following script work on a machine that is running MAC OSX Server 10.4.9. On Machines running Mac OS X 10.4.9 it works fine, but on my server machine it won't name the file as per the script--the menu dialog box pops ("save as") up asking for a file name.??
The only difference between the machines as far as I can tell is the OS.
Thanks.

  • Domain Controlling: Windows XP Machine to Mac OSX Server

    We have a Mac OSX 10.6 Server and it runs our DNS and we want it to serve as a PDC, We are trying to connect a windows computer to it. When setting the windows computer to the specified domain it prompts for the Username and Password which is correctly entered and accepted, however it loads an error afterwards saying "specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted".
    Any idea's? Would this be something to do with an SRV record?
    It is the correct username and password as it definately aithenticates - When we type an incorrect password it tells us that it is incorrect. Also, the network firewall is open.
    Any response appreciated,
    Thanks.

  • Running Virtual Domains on Mac OSX Server and Postfix

    Just purchased Mac OS Server X and Installed it. I am begining to setup mail servevices and this is my question.I have been using FreeBSD 5.3 and Postfix. In the main.cf I had setup 3 virtual Domains and used Canonical Maps and virtual alias to get my mail to the proper mailboxes. Now do I have to do that here in the terminal screen manually adding the canonical maps and virtual alias in the main.cf or does Server admin do it automacticly when I setup the virtual domains?
    Thanks

    You can either go the manual editing route you were used to or use Server Admin. The results will be similar, but the approach different. Server Admin defines virtual domains differently (This is possible because postfix allows for different implementations.
    I have written a Tutorial on OS X Virtual Mail Domains. You can download it here: http://osx.topicdesk.com/downloads/

  • Do you have Time Machine in Mac OSX Server 10.6?

    Do you?
    How does it work? Does it back up the data every hour, or is is possible to do it more often?

    Time Machine is variously incompatible with the creation of backups of the Mac OS X Server box itself; while the basic TM configuration might (does?) work, but the advanced configuration won't work. Well, you'll probably get copies of what was once an "advanced" configuration, but whether you can restore and resume use of those can be problematic at best.
    You need take explicit steps to gain consistent and restorable archives of various Mac OS X Server configurations.
    Have a look around the forums for existing discussions of (for instance) shutting off dovecot to get a snapshot of the mail store.

  • How do I re-install my Mac OSX Server from scratch

    Hi,
    I have purchased two MacMini Servers with 10.6 OSX Server software pre-installed.
    I have changed the organization as our company name changed and run into license issues.
    I want to re-install the Mac OSX Server software and start from scratch. How do I go about this. I tried yesterday for many hours to do so and the new installs are still running into duplicate license issues and other issues. What is the best approach to do re-install? I am willing to erase the internal Hard Disk and boot (with an external DVD optical drive) if that is the best way to go. What are the steps?
    I have the original CDs or DVDs and have extra, external hard disks to do a Time Machine backup, etc.
    Thanks,
    Don

    If you are looking to do a nuke and pave of the system, and you have an external optical drive, then yes, that is likely the most direct method. Connect the optical drive, insert the installation DVD, and reboot the system targeting the optical disk as the boot volume (you can do this by holding down the C key or the Option key during startup).
    Now, if you do not have an optical drive, you can put the installation disk into another Mac running 10.6 and use the Remote Install Mac OS X application in your Utilities folder.
    Hope this helps

  • Not installing Mac OSX Server 10.5.4

    Hello Friends...
    I purchased Mac OSX Server 10.5.4 Leopard DVD.
    I would like to install and configure it.
    According to the manual , its not working.
    It is getting upgrade to my Mac mini 10.5.7.
    After installing , it wants to restart. But, its not booting and getting always restarted.
    So, any advices and suggestions from your side.
    Regards,
    Bhanu

    I'm going to point you to these two places to see if you can resolve your issues:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2019706&tstart=300
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3479
    Basically what happens is if you insert the Server install DVD and start the installer package, if the DVD will boot your Mini it will show the 'Restart' button. If it can't, the installer will run and then you should follow the instructions in the second link.
    Given the fact that many have tried and failed with the second method, I would attach the Mini, in target disk mode, to another Intel-based machine and run the install from there with the Mini as the target. Then boot the other machine from the Mini's disk and let the Setup Assistant finish -don't configure any services on the server in this mode other than setting it up as standard or advanced, apply any updates and then restart. Then shutdown both machines, detach the Mini, then let it boot on its own and continue configuration from there. I've done this several times with both PPC and Intel-based machines with positive results.

  • Bridge CS6 Mac cannot browse Mac OSX server 10.8

    Hello:
    We had a drobo file server which was mounted on the desktop and had no issues browseing the volume in bridge.  After we moved to a new Mac OSX server running 10.8 we can no longer browse the mounted server.  We get a primission violation. Using the finder we're able to browse files and folders and create new files without this same type of issue.
    Is there a preference that allows connection to a network volume via Bridge?
    I hope I was clear on the discritpion of the problem.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    Try a reset of preferences for Bridge using option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs.
    There is also a plist file for Bridge in the user library preferences folder that can be manual deleted and will be refreshed after restarting Bridge.
    And maybe run a check and repair permission with either Apple Disk utility or cocktail.
    Unfortunately Bridge is not designed for use over a network nor official supported by Adobe when it comes networks.

  • Installing Mac OSX Server hangs at Network Configuration

    Any ideas?
    Thanks for any help or suggestion

    Smells vaguely of a DNS error or IP routing or a network connectivity problem.
    What did you specify for your network settings, and particularly what was entered for the DNS server address? If you're not running DNS on your local network here, then enter no DNS servers as part of the prompting, and let Mac OS X Server establish its own default single-host DNS.
    (You're not going to be able to use your ISP DNS here; those ISP DNS servers are not valid when you are establishing a server on a network behind a NAT gateway.)
    I'd probably wipe the disk and boot from DVD and reload.

  • Mac OSX server not supported behind Airport Extreme NAT router?!!

    For a customer, I recently installed a new XServe, within a local network with an Airport Extreme (n) with FW 7.4.2. Mac OSX Server manages the router (which has a fixed IP from the ISP). Because the Mac OSX Server runs a DNS server (supporting a local domain), OSX Server reconfigured the Airport Extreme, so that it would forward DNS queries to the server. The server's dns server will forward queries for non-local domains to the ISP's dns servers.
    All clients get their IP configuration using DHCP from the router. You can't use the DHCP service of the server, as you can't disable DHCP on the router (in NAT mode).
    All clients get the router's IP as the dns server.
    HOWEVER:
    The Airport Extreme can't connect to the internal DNS server! *It doesn't seem to be able to route dns requests to the internal network* (verified using nslookup). Any dns queries sent to the router will time out.
    Come on, Airport Extreme team.. you can't claim the Airport Extreme to be the ideal router in combination with an OSX server, if this simple and very common setup is not supported! How hard can it be to either:
    ...*Allow us to disable DHCP on the router* (even when in NAT mode), so we can use the OSX server for this (which will dispatch the correct DNS settings)
    ...*Allow the router to route DNS queries to the local DNS* (OSX) server (which should be working anyway)

    That is true.

  • Is a mac osx server fits to a office with 10 PCs

    I want to set up a server for my company
    The purpose of the server is to store files, share files & printer, a calendar, an internal website( for hosting a blog and filemaker files), regular backup
    My office will have 10 PCs (window 7) connects to the server, and my company dont have an IT expertise ..
    I have considered between Window SBS, Mac osx server and ubuntus server
    I think a mac mini server is the best solution for me as:
    1: easy installation
    2: less expensive than SBS
    however, is the mac mini server work well in my case?
    Thank you very much!

    An Apple Mac Mini server would be a good fit. It includes two 500GB drives and an unlimited-user copy of Mac OS X Server. Not bad for $999.
    Mac OS X Server itself is very easy to configure and Apple has a lot of resources on their website to help guide you.
    You will want to make sure to configure all of your file sharing share points with SMB for the Windows clients to access. You won't be able to take full advantage of Mac OS X Server's offerings, but for file sharing it will be fine.

  • Mac OSX Server VPN Not Working

    Heres how my setup is: I have an ATT DHCP Server/Router That assigns my public ip.
    I have an Apple AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode Which hosts the main wifi connection.
    I have my Mac OSX Server connected to the AirPort Extreme
    On my ATT Router DHCP Server's Firewall I have my computer set to DMZ Plus mode which forwards all ports on the network to my mac.
    I am trying to connect to the vpn network via my MacBook Pro and iPhone5 and I cannot. However I can connect to the online wiki page on my server by going to server.djswirkmke.com if you would like to see it. My host name is server.local on the network but on the internet it is server.djswirkmke.com I also have a mail domain setup as mail.djswirkmke.com. My problem is I am not able to connect to the vpn on the client computers can you please help?

    In a moment of random frustration, I tried listing the DNS server in VPN settings three times, and it somehow fixed the problem. Even though it is the same IP all three times, it works when it is listed three times but not when it is listed just once.
    In other words, in VPN > Settings > Client Information > DNS Servers, I have:
    192.168.100.64
    192.168.100.64
    192.168.100.64
    Hope this helps someone having the same problem.
