10.4 server to 10.5 server - netinstall no longer works

As it says, I upgraded my OS X server (dual core G5) from 10.4.11 to 10.5.1 and now it's up to 10.5.2. Ever since going to Leopard, I haven't able to get my NetInstall to work. The service is running but I can't get a mac to boot off of the server so I can image it.
This what I can pull out of my logs:
Feb 13 15:12:05 TTS-Unixpcp071653pcs bootpd[3806]: can't open /etc/bootptab

First off there is no bootptab file in etc on my server. I did some googling and found some posts in the DHCP side of Apple's forums relating to the bootpd.plist file (also in etc). I took a look at it but I can't figure out where the error is. The other posts mentioned reducing the reply threshold from 10 down to 0. I took a look at that file and I don't have that line and can't figure out where I would put it if it was needed. I should also mention that I don't run the DHCP service on this server as there is another group here that handles that.
I'll post the contents of bootpd.plist in the next post so as not make this one ungodly long!! heh

Here is my bootpd.plist file:

  • Is there a 10.9 Server app available as 10.8 now longer works with Mavericks

    Since updating from Mountain Lion to mavericks the 10.8 Server.app software does not run, is there an update to 10.9

    tbh I'd forgotten about the OS Version mis-match problem with Server.app and because I'd found a version of Work Group Manager that ran under Mavericks thought there'd be a version of Server.app as well
    As there's no way we will be update all our servers to Mavericks, I'll just have to revert to Apple Remote Desktop and run Server.app locally

  • How to add a new server (as shown with "server name" in management studio) and how to delete the old one?

    I am using SQL Express 2008 R2. I have two servers ".\robbysqlexpress" and ".\sqlexpress". The ".\sqlexpress" server is not working. It gives error whenever I try to connect:
    "Cannot connect to (local)\SQLEXPRESS.
    A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
    (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)"
    So I want to delete this server and create a server with the same name again. So could you tell me how to do that?
    : Robby

    Hi Robby,
    Can you check that instance of server exists. deleting and recreating will not help you.
    It is really a generic error(and hope your sql server instance exits -> http://community.shavlik.com/docs/DOC-23089).
    please follow this blog post to resolve it -> http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2009/05/21/sql-server-fix-error-provider-named-pipes-provider-error-40-could-not-open-a-connection-to-sql-server-microsoft-sql-server-error/
    Unfortunately, it does not appear to be possible (or at least practical) to only remove certain items.
    However, if you want, you can reset the configuration and start from scratch.
    Make sure Management Studio is closed, then delete or rename this file:
    %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell\SqlStudio.bin

    What are the correct mail account settings and more importantly the correct DNS settings
    Thank you for any help you may be able to provide
    Cheers
    Chris (iMac i7)

    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 993
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 587
              •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

    Hi,
    Please check the event viewer to get more detailed error information about this issue.
    You can also remotely access it from another server by adding this server in the server manager of the remote server, and try to access the roles and features from the remote server, and tackle the problem from there.

  • Set up Search Service App For SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

    Hi all,
    I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows  server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox.  I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM was set up to access
    the DC server.  Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate to search service app
    admin page, it gives error info:
    System status:  The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is in
    a good state and try again.
    Search Application Topology:  Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
    From event viewer, I see following errors:

    Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem with Search
    Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
    Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    This seems also to be a SP set up issue.
    Thanks a lot.

    Using new Search Service App wizard to create SSA is always a success. I could delete existing SSA and recreate it and no problem. It says successful but when I open Search Admin page from CA, it gives me errors as mentioned.
    Now I used the following PS script for creating SSA from Max Mercher, but it stays at the last setps in following script:
    Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    $IndexLocation = "C:\Search"  #Location must be empty, will be deleted during the process!
    $SearchAppPoolName = "SSAPool"
    $SearchAppPoolAccountName = "mydomain\admin"
    $SearchServiceName = "SSA"
    $SearchServiceProxyName = "SSA Proxy"
    $DatabaseServer = "W12R2DC1"
    $DatabaseName = "SSA"
    $spAppPool = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool -Identity $SearchAppPoolName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    if (!$spAppPool)
     $spAppPool = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name $SearchAppPoolName -Account $SearchAppPoolAccountName -Verbose

  • Deployer Installation: Failed to validate Release Management Server for Team Foundation Server 2013

  • Oracle client 32/64 bit on Crystal Server 2013 and Windows Server 2012

    I'm getting the error "Unknown Database Connector Error" when I run report on the server and it works OK on crystal designer 2013.
    Been reading this thread 32&64 bit Oracle Client but not much help there.
    Here are the  details
    System
    Windows Server 2012
    Crystal Server 2013 SP5
    Crystal Server has been installed and appears to work fine. I was able to develop a brand new report locally and saved it to the server and it displays ok. Of course when I click on refresh on the report, it will error out due to database connection it looks like.
    We have installed both oracle client drivers 64 and 32. 64 was installed first and then 32.The path has been modified so that the 32 shows up first.
    I even ensure oracle_home and oracle_home32 are specified and restarted the server. I still get the same error.
    The tns entries are also located in both installs of oracle client...
    What might be the issue?

    Oracle Database Client 12.1.0.2.0 (32-bit and 64-bit installed)
    Installation Type: Custom
    COMPONENTS INSTALLED:
    SQLPLUS
    ORACLE NET
    We are currently not using an ODBC connection.
    We installed Crystal 2013 Server SP05. This is the sole package installed (believe it's the latest version) without any extra patch package installed (believe no patch needed as it's the latest version).

    This is happening to only one list on the site .There are other lists in the site whose no. of records is equal to 8000 to 9000.They are working absolutely fine without any error.
    Also, If I am saving this list as a template and creating another list with it ,then it is working absolutely fine with 14000 records,so the issue does not seem to be related with no. of records as the template list is working fine.
    I have checked the Alternate access mapping setting ,its fine.
    It should not be related to lookup,datefield or any other column as the list created from it template is working fine with all these columns.
    I checked below links also ,but doesn't seem to work in my case.

    I have spent two days to resolve this issue. Microsoft has released two KBs with reference to this issue...but are not appearing in search results at the top.
    I am sharing my finding.
    1. First install the
    KB2552989 (Hopefully you might have already installed it. The KB detetcts it and informs the user.)
    2. Then update registry by adding new key for data fetch timeout as mentioned inKB2553007
    These two steps resolved the issue in our environment. Hope it might help others as well.

    When trying to update my Mail Account Mailbox Behaviours settings, after making the changes when I try to close the settings pane the following messages occur: Invalid Incoming Mail Server The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty. The incoming mail server box has in light grey colour: p02-imap.mail.me.com in it and I cannot edit its content. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

    Hi all,
    Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings.  I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name.  This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
    Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues.  Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve:  incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors.  If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
    First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out".  When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine.  I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices...  But use your own judgment.  I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
    Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system.  When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button.  When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address.  I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
    Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem).  Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily.  This has happened to me on numerous occasions.  Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day.  Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
    Hope that helps some of you!

    Hi,
    Basically, the process is of log shipping. Transferring logs from DC to DR system.
    For that, you can check HowTo - Standby DB log shipping - MaxDB - SCN Wiki
    This is script based. I have not done it but the idea remains the same.
