Windows PC (XP) and Mac OS X Server 10.6 print service

Can someone tell me if it is possible for a Windows PC running XP to make use of the Mac OS X Server 10.6 print service? Following the manual does not help. After enabling SMB I don't manage to connect to one of the shared printers. How could I make use of IPP and LPR support being built into Windows XP?

I know the problems with Time Machine on Mac OS server. In your case: Look at the log files, searching for "backupd", if that tells you anything.
In my case, Time Machine in the last year stopped several times. Occasionally, there was a helpful message in the log files where I could identify a file where it had hung -- typically intermediate build results of Xcode. After excluding or deleting the offending files (where possible), Time Machine ran successfully.
Another situation which has repeatedly occurred is that time machine just hangs and does not progress, and no log entry helps. In 3 such cases what helped was to delete the spotlight index (e.g., with TinkerTool System) and let it rebuild. It took inordinately long (10 hrs) and there were log entries by mdworker that it had difficulty processing files. But when the spotlight index was finally rebuilt, Time Machine worked again.
BTW: I don't need Time Machine to backup the server system, for that I run mirrors etc., but for user files it is most convenient and has helped several times. Thus I have excluded nearly everything but /User/*.

Lion: Connecting to legacy (pre-Lion) AFP services - and Mac OS X (server)

After upgrading to MacOS X Lion, it was discovered that it was not possible to logon to Novell-shares and NAS-boxes (e.g. Qnap).
Here is a recipe that has been tested OK with the following combinations:
* Mac OS X Lion -> Novell shares
* Mac OS X Lion -> Mac OS X 10.5 server
* Mac OS X Lion -> Mac OS X Lion
Please note that the command-lines themselves must not have CR/NL-characters. Copy the commands to a text-editor and remove format-inserted CR/NL-characters.
Another note: Your logon will be less secure with these changes. Later when e.g. Novell and/or your NAS-box support native Lion-logon, then please remove the AppleShareClient-parameter changes again with the first block.
Recipe:
The following block can be skipped if you have not previously changed AppleShareClient-parameters:
sudo -s
chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
cd /Library/Preferences/
rm com.apple.AppleShareClient.plist*
! Restart
The following block makes it possible to logon to: (1) Novell-shares (2) Pre Lion Mac-OS-X-volumes - and possibly non-native Lion logon NAS-shares:
sudo -s
chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
! Restart
You now have to logon a real account (non-guest) on another Mac OS X Lion volume
to catalyst a creation of AppleShareClient-files. (See Apple-support-link) (Is this necessary?)
! instead?:
/bin/sleep 60
chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum exchange"
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "DHX2"
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "DHCAST128"
chmod o-w /Library/Preferences
PS:
Possibly all volume-links may be deletes and recreated to use the new logon-parameters?

I have two computers, Windows on Desktop and Mac on laptop. Shall I purchase Adobe Acrobat (twice) to use it on both computers ?? @

Hi Aziz Abduh,
The EULA allows you to install Acrobat on one device. There are two exceptions:
If you are the only user of Acrobat on your work computer, you can also install it on your home computer, as long as you are again, the only user of Acrobat on that 2nd system
If you are the only user of Acrobat on your desktop system, you can also install it on your laptop, as long as you are again, the only user of Acrobat on that 2nd system.
In both cases, you cannot use both versions at the same time.

Printerjob, awt headless mode and mac os x server

hello
i've an application that print a page using classes like jframe, jpanel, jtable, etc
when i run it on a linux server or on a windows one there are no problems, but when i try to print this page on mac os x server 10.6.8 i get this error:
on system dock appear a java icon named org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap and the printed page comes empty. if i set the visibility property to true i can see the correct page, but i can't print!
I've searched on google and i found various articles that say to set JAVA_OPTS to awt headless = true. i've tryed but i've obtained an headlessexception, because i use jframe etc that need headless mode disactive...so what can i do?
i want to print with a shared network windows printer, if i print with textedit all go well, the problem appears only using java PrinterService class
thanks in advance

Paolo - Welcome to Discussions!
At the moment - this is partly implemented.
Networked home directories only are searched (new to tiger)
Although there appear to be stubs of routines (and some low level documentation) that seem to point to support for indexing entire shares, it is not enabled.
I know your case seems like a good one for this - but in general, it makes little sense for a lot of clients to hammer a network volume - all of them making their own index. I would presume there is a plan to allow the server to make one index and have the clients either refer to that index or download a copy of that index as needed to reduce the overhead on the server... (but that's just an educated guess - with no way of knowing)

When trying to send photos using iphoto a window comes up and says that email server did'nt recognize user name /password ...what do i do to correct this please marie

hello when I try to send photos using the iphoto a window comes up to tell me that my email server didn't rercognize user name /password how do i correct this .. as i have cganged my email address but i can't get rid of the old one thank you marie

Hi Cody\'sgirl,
If you are having issues emailing photos directly from iPhoto, you may want to double check the email account information that is set in iPhoto. You may find the following article helpful (the section below is about setting up a new account, but it should be the same location to check existing account info):
To set up a Photo Mail account:
Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click Accounts.If you’re in full-screen view, move your pointer to the top of the screen to make the menu bar appear.
Click the Add button in the lower-left corner.
Click Email, and then click Add.
Choose your email service provider.If your service provider isn’t listed, choose Other.
Type the requested information.If you use the Mail application included with OS X, some account information might be filled in already. If you’re not sure what to type, contact your service provider.
You can set up more than one Photo Mail account by repeating these steps for each account. When you send an email, you can change the outgoing account by clicking the From pop-up menu and choosing an account.

How to synchronise window itune library and mac mini itune library

Hi,how can I synchronise Window 7 itune library and Mac mini itune library?
Meaning copy wholemedia library to the other itune(window itune/mac mini itune)
Thanks!

Thanks for your advice, but I did AB audition between Home sharing my other laptop itune and playing direct thru my mac mini (Direct playing thru mac mini SQ is better than playing Home sharing thru wifi) that's why I want to copy my full itune library from my other laptop into mac mini.
Blame it on my ears..

Windows 7 client can't connect to Server 2008 R2 Print Server VM (ESXi 5.5)

I have an issue today that is driving me bonkers.
I recently came on-board to a company in my area as the system administrator and this network has everything and the kitchen sink wrong with the network layout, probably the worst I've seen and I'm slowly but surely fixing it day by day.....
Well today I decided I was going to spin up another VM from a template and make a Print Server, seems harmless right? --- I thought so too, added all of the printers to the server and did test pages, all was dandy, but then I tried to add the printers to
clients and other server and the real fun has begun, I'm truly perplexed now...
I added a VM to my esxi 5.5 cluster at work that is a 2008 R2 server with only print management on it. I can map all of the printers on the network to the print server as-well as install the drivers correctly and I can resolve the IP and server name via
DNS. I can test printers directly from the print server successfully printing out test pages however whenever I try to map printers you know from the directory in 'devices and printers' from any of the Windows 7 clients or any of the other 2003/2008 servers
I get the classical "Windows cannot connect please check the network connection and make sure sure the printer is turned on". I disabled the windows firewall and I made the point to print GPO set to disabled and still no luck. Again I can print to
all of the printers internally inside of the VM (so I know it communicating to all of the printers), I just can't connect to the printers listed in the directory on any of external desktop/client, it's like so annoying. spent about 6 hours until my brain just
couldn't think anymore, was about to go BS on the VM.
The only thing I can think of, as I was driving home, is that there is a GPO on one of the DC that has a desginated print server policy set. But prior to last week the forest leve was 2000 and now it's 2003. I just don't know Server 2000 enough to know if GPO's
worked in the same way they do in 2003.
Right now printers are connected to other servers in a ad hoc mentality it seems, there has never been a true print server.
Anyone ever have this problem before?
I'm truly puzzled...

Hi Mid.Hudson-IT,
Before we begin ,we should ensure we have configured the printer server correctly .
Here is a link for reference of configuring the printer server .
Print server role: Configuring a print server
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775791(v=ws.10).aspx
"I can map all of the printers on the network to the print server as-well as install the drivers correctly and I can resolve the IP and server name via DNS"
From this sentence ,I can`t figure out whether you have tried to ping the server both with the IP adress and name adress from the client ?
If we can ping the print server from the client,we can ensure the connection to the printer server is good .
Then we can try to install the printer driver directly to have a check .In the adress bar of Windows Explorer ,input "\\server name \the printer name"
If we cannot ping the print server ,we should troubleshoot the network issue firstly.
We also can check the event viewer for more information to troubleshoot this issue .
Best regards

Can I connect Windows 7 to a mac network account server

Hi All,
I have a Mac Mini Server allong with a pile of Macs and a few PCs. What I want is being able to login to an ACCOUNT from ANY of my macs OR PCs. So when the computer turns on it asks you to put in a username and password. I know this is possible if all computers are running the same opperating system but i am not sure how to do it with different opperating systems.
Thanks,

I was struggling with this for a few days as well! Finally got it working though ! YAY !
Here are the steps:
1. Add this to your registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\PolicyAgent]
"AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule"=dword:00000002
2. Open secpol.msc (click start > search for secpol.msc)
- Local Policies > Security Options
- Network Security : LAN Manager Auth Level…
- Set to: Send LM & NTLMv2 - UseNTLMv2…
And
- Network Security : Minimum session security… clients
- uncheck "Require 128-bit encryption"
3. Restart PC
4. Create VPN Connection on Windows 7
- Host Name: (server IP or yourhost.name.com)
- PPP Settings : Enable LCP (only)
- Type: L2TP/IPSec
- Pre-shared key : yoursharedsecret
- Data encryption : Optional encryption
- Allow CHAO and CHAPv2
5. Router on server-side must allow VPN Passthrough and forward ports: 50, 51, 500, 548, 1701, 1723, 4500 to the server box. Also, do not filter anonymous internet requests, multicast or NAT Redirection but enable SPI Firewall.
...now you should be good to go

Windows Live Mail and Mac Mail

Hi,
I have Windows Live Mail up and running nicely through Mac Mail (I have just switched from PC to Mac). However I'm wondering what's the right way to sync them fully. I mostly access email through Mac Mail now but whenever I need to access Hotmail through the web, all the msgs I have read or deleted earlier are still showing as unread.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Helen

I see no one else has answered so I’ll try to get the ball rolling and maybe others will chime in.
First, I am not familiar with Windows Live Mail so I can’t guarantee to give directions to get you there from here but I’m sure there is a way. Some Googling found these paths:

Desktop Widgets (Windows 7/8 and Mac)

I'd like to see a floaty desktop widget or sidebar similar to what's on Android that just shows current song, play, skip, pause, etc without having to launch the full spotify client.

Ok so small on top window a la itunes is a must for me. i teach guitar and work on a macbook so i need to be able to check arrangements and pause songs whilst i prepare scores. premium users should get a ittle upgrade p thank youath to a small skin always on top thing that lets you pause and play and click next or previous.
seeing as how you guys have sort of cloned and then improved on itunes by making it much more user friendly and cutting edge just take the next step and make a transperent play pause floating bar that can lock to the top of the screen. it could even have a scrolling text to tell you when a new album is released by your favourite artist etc.
Im sure this has been suggested before but it is a must happen thing.
Rock on.
Other tha that i love the new layout and particularely like the playlists with the current top 50 best new pop or whatever style. discovering a whole bunch of new acts and its so eas to use. Thanks!!
