10.5 Server setup advice

Hi everybody,
I need some advice to help me setup a 10.5 server.
I am running a linux box for mail, web, dns.
I am also running a 10.5 client (which is going to be the server box) to share drives and runs Retrospect for backup. I also have about 20 macs running 10.5 client as workstations with multiple user accounts on each workstation.
I am now about to setup 10.5 server with network home folders so users can login on any mac and access their email and other documents.
What type of server configuration should I use: standard, workgroup, advanced.
There are some cool features of 10.5 server that I would also like to provide to users in the future such as wiki, ical, ichat, managed user computers.
In the meantime I just want to do file sharing and network home folders to keep the ball rolling.
Cheers and thanks in advance for your replies. I'm sure that I will be back with some more interesting problems!

What you're looking to do would be best accomplished using your server as an Open Directory Master. You'll want to use the Advanced configuration to do that. Just a couple caveats before you start. Despite what Apple advertises, setting up an OS X Server isn't necessarily a couple clicks, and it does require some reading.
You'll be best off erasing the HD on the machine you intend to use as a Server. You can install OS X Server over an existing OS X installation, but I've never tried, so I won't say if it will work or not.
Apple recommends having a replica server if you are running OD. You don't have to, but it is recommended. It's also a good idea to have one server be the OD Master, and have another machine host network homes - you'll want OS X server on that as well. Again, not necessary, but recommended. At the very least, and if possible, install the Server OS on one HD and the network homes on another. At the very very least, partition a single HD and put the Server OS on one partition and the network homes on the other. Separating the homes from the OS gives you more flexibility when backing up/troubleshooting/re-installing the OS when necessary. Having separate drives/machines for the OS and the home folders will give you speed advantages.
So, once you erase the HD, install the Server OS. When it restarts, you'll automatically have to run the configuration manager. Here, you'll enter a server name, and a FQDN for the server, for example, myserver for the server name, and myserver.mydomain.com for the FQDN. You'll also need to supply an IP address for your server (it needs a static IP address) a subnet mask, and a router IP address. When asked, you should select standalone server as your server's role.
Once it is done configuring itself, you'll be prompted to start and configure services. Only start DNS, then configure that. Once DNS is up and running (use the command 'sudo changeip -checkhostname' (minus the quotes) to check that DNS is working) you can enable Open Directory and promote your server to an Open Directory Master.
Once the server is all set, make sure your clients point to the server for DNS, and use the DirectoryAccess Utility to bind the clients to the server.
That's a sparse outline.
http://www.wazmac.com/servers_network/fileservers/index.htm
offers some good tutorials on specific details. If you run into problems, post back with specific questions.
Setting up 10.5 server isn't horribly difficult, but there are a lot of details. Any of those little details can frustrate you beyond belief. I speak from experience and many lost hours trying to figure those details out.

Server Setup advice for a video production house

Hello Forum,
I recently started working for a small video production company, I need advice on the type of server and other hardware and services that will allow my co-workers to work efficiently. Here are some details:
Currently we are going to buy a new server, I am not sure what we should look at getting,
currently we use a mini mac running OSX server and have 6 iMacs that the editors and other staff use.
We also have a 15 TB Drobo network storage device which is attached to the mini-mac server we are going to replace.
The production team uses Final Cut and Motion to build documentaries.
The other issue is that need a way to connect the office in Baltimore to the office in Washington DC and ideally share files between each location, currently they cannot access the network from Baltimore and have to have a copy of the unedited footage on their own Drobo.
What type of server setup do you recommend? Quad core? speed?
Should we set up a VPN to connect offices or does someone have a better idea, if so what applications do we need?
I know windows networking pretty well, but Mac is totally new to me.Currently editing files from the server is really slow and files are usually pulled to the iMacs to do editing, burning DVDs from files on the server hardly ever works- they pull them local then burn the DVD and it works.
I would love to hear suggestions to help us get up and running.
Anyone know of a good website for server setup- Since there is no Domains in OSX that i know of, how can we secure the network? Links would be great.
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

Well if your looking for performance. You could get a Promise VTrak E-Class RAID with 32TB of storage, later on you can add more chassis to the raid for more storage space. The raid can be expanded up to 160TB. (80 drive bays, each drive 2 TB)
Using fiber you could attach the raid to an xServer or Mac Pro (running mac os x server). You'll probable want at least 8 or 16 GB of ram on the server.
The server can run a copy of final cut server. Witch makes it easer to work as a group. Mac OS X server, when properly configured, can also be used to create a VPN between both locations.
Final Cut Server will let editors check in/out specific parts of the documentaries. So the project lives on the server; instead of scattered over every ones computers. Part of this is you can pull down thumb nails versions of the video to work off of. Only when you do the final render do you download the HD version of the video.
If you want even better performance on the editing stations. you could also upgrade to Mac Pros. Mac Pros have upgrade slots witch you can use to add fiber networking. You could also use the upgrade slots to add a black magic real time HD capture card.
Or if you want to keep the imacs. you might want to hook the server to a switch by fiber, and have the imacs connected to the same switch by 1000-T
If you call apple i'm sure they'd be happy to help you figure this all out.

Mac OSX 10.6 Server setup advice

hi all, I was wondering if someone could offer some advise for the setup of a server on a home network.
Here is what I have and what I'm trying to achieve.
Link up 5 macs on a home network,
1 iMac 17" which will run mac server 10.6.8
1 iMac 24"
1 MacBook
2 MacBook Pros 15"
2 iPads
1 iPad 2 .
4/5 iPhones
via an Virgin media 50meg SuperHub connected to a Apple Airport extreme,
I idea I have is to use the older iMac as the server, providing basic file sharing, address book access and remote VPN .
I've installed the server software on the iMac but get a little stuck on the DNS setup side of things.
So far I researched my DNS to find I don't have a static ip and setup a basic service from DyDNS.
I understand that I will have to open the required ports on the superhub to setup the remote access.
I would be greatful is someone can offer some advice with a simlar setup or can point to basic setup guide.
Thanks in advance
Yaddle.

Hi John,
thanks for your advice, I have actually been using the two links you provided,
yet they both lack support for the home user, and all suggest that the users have a static ip address, but this is sadly not the case.
has anyone used . http://www.dyndns.com/about/home_solutions.html
Does anyone use this service at home for their server and which settings did they use ?
This would at least let me think Im working along the right lines.
Im getting stuck with the Primary DNS questions along the setup route from apple setup. : (
thanks again
Yaddle.

OS X Server setup advice needed for small business

I work as audio engineer at a recording studio. I'm an experienced Mac user, but I don't have Mac Server experience. I'm my company's default IT guy. Our office consists of four people, currently using PCs, but we are changing to a Mac-based office: each person will get an iMac, and we'll also get a Mac Mini with OS X Server. And a Time Capsule for both the Apple router and Time Machine backups. The machines will be connected with ethernet for Gigabit networking.
The server will be used primarily for two things:
1. Server-based scheduling/contact database program that each user will log-in to for access
2. Hard drive for storing audio files that will be delivered to clients (currently FTP delivery)
I'm learning about OS X Server services - there's some great You Tube tutorials by Todd Olthoff http://www.youtube.com/user/tolthoff.
The office users currently run their computers as independent PC's with all files stored on their local machines. The network lets them share files, as well as share two printers. Note that my plan is for each office user to continue to store their files locally on the iMacs, not on the server.
I'm trying to decide how much of OS X services I can take advantage of.
I have some specific questions I'm hoping to get some advice on. These questions came up after viewing Todd's tutorials:
1. Do I need Open Directory
I think I do, in order to create local network users. Is this a given for me?
2. We do not have a static IP address. Do I need to establish DNS services?
3. Do I need a verified SSL Certificate?
This is what I have for starters. Any additional advice is welcome!

Remember that ftp is wildly insecure, and a very large ftp credentials dump — reportedly including credentials from the New York Times and some other users — was just posted. ftp is a massive pain in the rump around modern networks; the protocol design predates the uniquitious use of firewalls in modern networks.
Read: I'm not a fan of ftp.
Use sftp or VPNs where you can.
1. Do I need Open Directory
I think I do, in order to create local network users. Is this a given for me?
If you want to start using the same login across different Macs in your office, then you want OD.
2. We do not have a static IP address. Do I need to establish DNS services?
You need local DNS services on your LAN (probably established via OS X Server), and you'll need external DNS to allow external folks to get to your file servers, and you'll need static IP from your ISP. If you get to using your own mail, you'll need a proper DNS configuration — forward and reverse DNS translations and the MX record must all match — for that.
3. Do I need a verified SSL Certificate?
Unless you're serving HTTPS or such, no. You don't even need a certificate and can use a self-signed one, if you're small and not serving much publicly from this server, and not doing something like ecommerce, and if whatever you're doing isn't a target for those that want to spoof or crack web sites; if you're not more of a target than most of the rest of us on the 'net.
Any additional advice is welcome!
I'd probably look to add a VPN-capable firewall router box here, and would use the Time Capsule as a so-called Access Point on the network — not as a NAT-capable gateway router. This if you don't already have a router of some sort. Time Capsule makes a nice home router or low-end SOHO router, but it's fairly limited in its features.
You absolutely need LAN-local DNS, and you need that correct and working and tested before you enable other services on your network.
I'd recommend using a real and registered domain on your internal network, and using a separate (and registered) domain outside your network. You can get away with using a subdomain inside, but that means more typing as it's just longer. I'd avoid a made-up domain, as ICANN is adding all sorts of new domains. I'd also avoid squatting on a domain, and never use the .local top-level domain as your own DNS domain. Leave .local to Bonjour only.

Hi,
I changed my jvm from sun jdk to latest jrockit and the issue was solved :)

Remote Update Server setup

Using the AUSST tool to set up a remote update server on Windows Server 2012R2 which is IIS 8.5.
Working through this document: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/update-server-setup-tool.html#Preparing a web server to use as the update server
Have reached the point where it says "Add the httpHandles for the zip, xml, crl, dmg, and sig extension in the web.config file as shown here:"
I have added the lines specified to the web.config file, here is the complete file:
configuration>
    <system.web>
        <compilation targetFramework="4.5" />
        <membership>

</configuration>
But when I try to access the web site I get this: " The configuration section 'httphandlers' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration "
Clearly I am a newbie in IIS (and indeed on Web Development of any sort).
Could someone please point out the no-doubt-obvious mistake?
Thanks.

I'm on 2012 R2 too.
ISAPI Module is not available by default. Choose to add ISAPI features (and Server Side Includes) using the Server Manager, Add Roles and Features, Web Server, Web Server, Application Development. I chose both ISAPI options as well as Server Side Includes - not sure which is needed.

10.5.1 Server Setup - Help Make it all Work!

Hello Everyone, I currently have a new MacMini running 10.5.1 with our Calendar, Wiki and File Sharing. I have recently just returned from the Mac OS 10.5 Training Session from Chicago Columbia College and was astonished at what their demo servers did versus what mine has never done lol. We are a small tech company and there isn't much yet in the way of documentation or training or even training materials for Leopard Server. So I wanted to share some of what we learned from the training seminar and hopefully someone will know the proper answers to my questions. This is going to be a bit long winded but I think it's important to convey my questions/concerns.
1. Ok initial setup of our Leopard server requires you to input a host name and then the domain name. Well after the first install of Leopard we found as I have read amongst the posts for the past 2 hours that if you place let's say macmini in the host-name field then place domain.com in the domain field. After the server setup is complete Leopard Server wants you to chat, vpn, and browse to http://macmini.domain.com/groups as well as mail. This is all well and good if you have access to DNS like I do and can easily make changes to the MX & A records but if your a typical SMB user then you won't and this means that once your e-mail is setup and your ready to start using your server anyone you e-mail will come from [email protected] and not [email protected] which is a huge problem. So be cautious here. I was instructed by Apple after scratching their head to leave the host-name blank and only fill in the domain name here if your on let's say a T1 or other medium with a static IP pointed at your machine or router. So this is my first pet peve, there is a sloppy work around to this by telling the server to receive e-mail for domain.com as well but still whenever you send it comes from the original domain.
2. Application Setup - Single Sign-on - When I attended Leopard training this week in Chicago I was amazed at how whenever a user (demo -lab environment) logged into ichat, ical, wiki or e-mail there was simple single sign-on kerberos auth. What I mean by this is once the server is up and running and your Mac connects to the network for the first time either by manual add thru the directory application or a new Mac that finds the Leopard server automatically at first boot and you auth a user on the server to that Mac then there is just a single signon from that point on, NOT! For us our users log into their machines, (mind u they are already users on the Leopard server and can log in just fine) and they try to go to their e-mail for the first time it always fails. We then have to disable SSL over SMTP and IMAP and manually type in their passwords because the MacMail clients cannot trust the SSL cert or we simply just delete their accounts and recreate them from scratch. Same happens with iChat. By design when you auth your Mac against the server, the server auto configs the security and client apps, i.e. mail, ichat, directory, VPN, ical. But iCal has consistently failed setup across 5 server builds and 10 clients. What will happen is when you go to prefs in ichat you see your account but it can't auth you and doesn't show up in ical for your personal server calendar. If you manually remove your user account and re-add it works great. But next time you go to ichat, once again you have to recreate. And I can recreate this all day long. But at the demo it worked like magic. So that is problem number two, SSL and single sign-on does not really work and app auto-config does not work at all.
3. Apple Airport Extreme 802.11N. - As a test and per Apple's recommendation for SMB clients we picked up a new Airport. We patched it and setup user/pass info and setup DHCP on the device for so if server fails we have internet. And during server setup it logged into Airport and tried to configure settings. We were on the net and all was good after server setup. However with VPN enabled per user in Standard mode on server we have only been able to gain VPN access for clients if they are actually inside the network. I have spent about 10 hours back and forth with Apple Support trying to get VPN to work outside. The Manual setup of new Airport Port-Mapping is simple but crude. It does not seem to work. And there is a default hosts setting which should translate to an open DMZ but does not. So that is third on my list, running a MacMini with 2gig's of RAM which is within SPEC for Leopard Server and using the Apple Recommended solution of an Airport Extreme N does not work for s&*% and I would be very surprised if anyone here has gotten that to work.
4. E-Mail Services - As stated prior Leopards auto app setup utility does not work for crap unless by some magic there are other steps besides the ones outlined and printed with the purchase of server. But the main thing about mail is that we are missing the basics. I mean your going to be hard pressed to find ANY e-mail application on the market today, Notes, Exchange, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, iMail or other that does not include basic vacation/out of the office message replies. This is a huge issue for any small business or for that matter any size business that wants to automate things when they are out and I think this is one of my small peeves but certainly worth a listing here.
5. VPN - We have tried like **** to get the VPN to work thru the Airport as previously noted but we have also connected MacPro with 2 nics, one for net and one for LAN and not been able to connect to the server from outside our network. Here is my largest frustration, we currently run SBS2003 from MSFT and they run flawlessly. I have literally sat with clients in their office during a new setup for SBS and in 3-4 hours we were up and running with minimal system level changes from the guided path. And for Apple to advertise this in the manual and all online materials as being SMB friendly is a complete slap in the face. Now don't confuse my above descriptions of problems we have seen across 5 Leopard builds as being a rant because it's not but seriously I am a network engineer with 10 years in the field working with 20+ product ranges and in our office we only use Mac because of stability and uptime. But OS X 10.5 is not Small Business Friendly at all even with the half hearted attempt at the new System Admin console for SMB users. However that being said I will still push on and try to get all these little bugs worked out and what I would really like to see is some feedback on my issues and I would love to know if anyone else has had similar issues. I really had hoped that 10.5 could help my firm finally push the proper solution (Mac OS X) for our SMB clients but it just isn't there yet.
Cheers,
DM

Thanks for the quick read and response. Do you feel the issue might lie with the fact that it is a Mac Mini? And possibly just not powerful enough to run Leopard Server? I have to say in our trials with MacPro it was like night and day as to how they performed. And if you could elaborate on this "Many VPNs don't play well with NAT so your VPN server should have a direct connection to the public network (preferably firewalled, of course, but not NATted)." Most every SoHo and for that matter uses simple NAT translation for security even our multi thousand dollar Cisco PIX and ASA's are basic NAT devices to start with. How would you put the VPN on public net while keeping the attack surface low for the rest of the services like file, web, mail and print?
Don't get me wrong I want this to work more than you can imagine. We are so tired of supporting MSFT technologies that cost thousands a year in antivirus, antispyware, antispam and other malware protection for the enterprise. We know that Leopard has great potential but for an integrator, getting this system up and functional is not an easy task. And the worst part of it is every time we have called for support the tech always lets out a sigh when they hear we have run standard setup because they are not allowed to walk us thru the server console to make repairs. And have been told by 3 techs so far that this is a new product and the support avenues are not there for standard since it just supposed to work out of the box. But when it doesn't then ohh well. Which is sorta sad...

Sane virtual mail server setup?

I'm giving up. I want a simple mail server setup (imaps, pop3s, smtps) with virtual user support that I can comfortably configure from the web (PostfixAdmin, web-cyradm, courier-web). I want to manage multiple users on multiple domains. It appears that the task I want to accomplish is insanely complex for some reason. I'd like to use as few different software packages as possible.
I can't find a simple and sane tutorial on the topic and I don't even care what software is going to be used. Of course, I did search and play around with the config for hours but to no avail. The tutorials in the Arch wiki are no good either, they are either outdated or do not allow me to do web configuration.
Help me out here, please.

It's always good to have alternatives, but out of curiousity, did you not try the courier-mta wiki? I used that wiki guide recently and it had me running with a system like what you describe without too much fuss. The only stuff I haven't tried/used is web-based administration or mail access; perhaps this was the problem for you?

Mail Server setup - EM 10.2.0.1.0

On Mail Server setup (EM 10.2.0.1.0) doesn't exists the options to set the User Name and Password, for authentication.
How do I configure a user authentication for the SMTP server?

You have to provide valid values for only the follwing two fields:
1 Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
2 and Sender's E-mail Address
Optionally you cand enter something in the Identify Sender As that will be used in the email body as an alias for the email address.
It should work. I tested this a few moments earlier.

Lion Server setup & Time Capsule

Greetings,
I am new to lion server so please bear with me. Some of my question me seem dumb to some of you. But to me the only dumb question is one not asked. So please bear with me.
Server and time capsule will both do NAT, DHCP. Which should I use for the network Server or Time Capsule. I am connecting with a Brighthouse cable modem with a Dynamic IP. I have the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode with a static IP 192.168.0.6. The server is Static with 192.168.0.5. Brighthouse wireless is disabled as I like the time capsule wireless. Time capsule is providing WI-FI. Brighthouse router/Modem provides the Router at 192.168.0.1.
I have a domain name abc.net. Should I set up lion server first and then set up Time Capsule after it is working? Do I set this up as a .local, .private or .net account during server setup? I want to be able to get to my computer from my domain name and handle my mail.
I set this up once and it worked for about 2 hours. After that it would never see my computer. So I am setting up server again but wanted to see if I could get a little first time guidence this time. I also signed up with DYNDNS for DNS updating and that just seemed to throw a whole new batch of problems in.
So any help would be great... Not dumb with computers, but new to apple servers. And I don't do geek well!!
I think all the IP numbers, what I need to change on Netfirms to get to my computer get me confused in the setup.
Thanks

Server and time capsule will both do NAT, DHCP
Sure.
Which should I use for the network Server or Time Capsule
Why do you think you need to use either of them?
Ideally, you should have ONE device on your network running NAT, and ONE device running DHCP.
From your description it sounds like your Brighthouse router is running NAT therefore there is no need to run NAT anywhere else.
The chances are that the Brighthouse router is also running a DHCP server for your LAN, therefore there is also no need to run DHCP off the Time Capsule or the Server. You've already got those bases covered.
So, at least without more information, I'd be inclined to say: neither.
Should I set up lion server first and then set up Time Capsule after it is working?
Probably. It depends on what your plans are for the Time Capsule. If you're using the TC as a wireless base station then it doesn't need to be running until you're ready to connect wireless clients.
If you're using the TC for backup, you don't need it until your server and/or clients are setup and ready to backup.
Since the TC is not (as per the above) running either NAT or DHCP, there's not much else to do with it.
So focus on the server.
Do I set this up as a .local, .private or .net account during server setup?
That's entirely up to you, although there are a couple of options. First off, though, realize that there is no, zip, nada connection between the hostname you use on your internal LAN and any public domain. It's 100% valid for your server to be called foo.bar while serving web content for abc.net and getting email for xzy.com, all at the same time.
Personally, I tend to set them the same (e.g. abc.net in this case), but others will recommend a different approach. It's largely personal preference.
I want to be able to get to my computer from my domain name and handle my mail.
If you're talking about getting to your computer/mail from an external locale, that's 100% down to DNS and completely independent of what the server thinks its own name is.

hi Cynthna7575
Thank you for your question.
By your state,I think you want to install EMC on windows 7.
If that,you can refer to the following steps;
1.Check that you have installed the necessary operating system components
a.     Open Control Panel, and then select Programs.
b.     Click Turn Windows features on or off.
c.     Select Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1.
d.     Navigate to Internet Information Services > Web Management Tools >IIS 6 Management Compatibility.
e.     Select the check box for IIS 6 Management Console, and then click OK.
2.Ensure that you un-tick the box during the setup wizard to automatically install roles and features required for Exchange
3.If there will be issue, you can try to install Exchange management tool in other Windows 7 X64 machine to see whether it is OK
If any questions,please let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim Xu

Windows 8.1 VPN Server Setup - No Network softwaare to choose

Hi Everyone
Windows 8.1
Setting up an incoming VPN Server.
When I try to create a New Incoming Connection via Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings > Alt - F > New Incoming Connection.
The wizard appears so I check the User Account > Next > Check Through the Internet > Next bringing up the Allow connections to this computer window where I should be able select Networking software to be enabled and then go on
to click Allow Access button. The networking software to highlight window is blank. Using the Install... button below this window brings up the Select Network Feature Type window where I can highlight a feature (Client, Service or Protocol)
and click Add button . It returns to the Allow connections window which has not changed and nothing is added. Still blank.
How do I get the network software to be there to select?
I have done this on other machines and had no problems at all. It worked the way it should.
After I did an image and reset operating system, the VPN Server Setup worked as it should. Restored image as it is way to much work to rebuild the machine. So any ideas?
Any and all help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Lowell

Hi,
Did you mean you have solved this problem by resetting Windows?
Regarding to current information, this issue can be caused by port settings or corrupted Windows components.
Please check if the VPN port 1723 has been set as allowed in both your Firewall and router settings pages.
Also, we may fix such issue by running following repair command:
NOTE: Please run these commands as administrator.
SFC /SCANNOW
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
For further help, you can upload %windir%\logs\CBS\cbs.log and %windir%\Logs\DISM\dism.log into Onedrive or similar file service and share the link here for our research.
