Can I install Lion Server using ARD?

I've got a 2008 xserve I'd like to update to Lion Server (from 10.6.8 server). Can I successfully install it using ARD or is it going to hang at some point without ARD access waiting for some kind of input to proceed with the installation?
Thanks
Eric

Yes. You need to buy Leon and Server via AppStore. Think twice before click [buy app]... read posts on this group.

I have Lion 10.7.3 can i install lion server

I have Lion 10.7.3 installed on my iMac can I install Lion Server without having to do a clean install?

Yes from what I read Lion server is just an Application that run on, ,and changes certain things, in the normal Lion OS.

Can you install Lion server but still use the mac as normal?

I have a Macbook Pro and I would like to install Lion server. I was wondering if when I buy it off the mac app store if it works like any application so I can like close out of the server and use the mac as normal like to get on the Internet, or if Lion server installs like a new operation system and I can't use my mac as normal?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Of course. On Mountain Lion and Lion, Server is just an app, so you can close it and turn off its services whenever you want to use your Mac as usual, although you don't have to close Server app to use the computer as normal

Can't install Lion Server. Any log anywhere ?

Hi all,
I've been trying to install Lion Server for hours. I tried upgrading or starting from a blank partition, and get the same behavior : after the usual reboot, the installer starts but never progresses.
My set-up is a bit specific : MacPro 3,1, with a 10.6.8 Server on a 2xSSD RAID-0 volume (hooked to the 2 spare SATA ports on the motherboard), and Users on another regular disk.
I thought the RAID could be an issue, so also tried on a clone on a regular disk, it did not work.
I finally tried on a blank partition, on one of my regular disks, did not work as well...
I then tried all this from the ESD image restored to another partition... no difference.
I have the impression to have tried all combinations with exactly the same result, I haven't found any log to explain the failure, would you have any idea ?
One thing I noticed is that the Lion Disk Utility on the ESD image is not able to verify the RAID volume (permissions or disk), it just does nothing, with no error. Unplugging the SSDs from the mobo may be my last option...
HELP ! ;-)

OK, NOW I get it... What I was trying to install was the MacOS Lion Server DMG from the Apple Developer site - of which I am a paying member.
As soon as I stopped trying that approach and opened the Appstore application on my machine, clicked on purchases, saw the LION SERVER entry (which is what I purchased) and clicked on INSTALL, everything went perfectly well and my problem is solved.
YEAA!

Can't install lion server

Hi Apple Support Folks,
My MacPro will not allow me to upgrade to Mountain Lion. OK.. So I am now running MacOSX Lion and wanted to add the MacOSX Lion Server software.
I purchased Lion Server via telephone call to Apple, downloaded and otherwise received - license.pdf, etc - all of the goodies.
then, when it came time to install the software, the installer reported:
I have no clue as to why this is a problem. Can anyone suggest how to move on from this point?
Thank yo

How many macs can I install Lion on using the same Apple ID?

What's the limitation? I have two Macs I would like to upgrade to Lion. I know Lion is cheap but it'd be nice to just pay one license for my two MBP's.

Check this out!

The Apple support says you can install on every mac you use for your own.

I can longer install software packages using ARD.

I can no longer install software packages to other computers on my local network. I used to do this frequently to four other computers on my network, but no it just gets stuck on "Waiting for item." status. I cannot figure out how to fix this. I have tried all I know: rebooting everything, etc...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you can still control and observe these computers, but also can't copy files to them, then this thread might help - the solution by Scooter Magrooter is the best.

You can also use the OS X Lion installer from the Mac App Store to create an external bootable drive, complete with a Recovery HD partition. See this article for more details. This approach will, at least, create a bootable drive with Recovery HD which you can carry with you in case you need to use Internet Restore or make use of the other utilities Recovery HD provides.

When I used download sets of photos, movies etc, (before I installed Lion) I used always get a "Download" gizmo which showed me the download happening with both speed and time left. Now with Lion, nothing shows on my screen. Can I fix this?

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

Does installing Lion Server mean: No Sleep ?

Hi,
I have the problem, that my iMac won`t go to sleep automatically after the time I setup in the energy saver settings.
I can get it asleep, if I select Sleep in the Apple menu, but it is only working manually.
I already tryed resetting PRAM, NVRAM, SMC and I even already did a clean install of lion Still the same problem.
But I also installed Lion server and I could imagine this is a problem.
Is here anybody, who installed Lion server and who can confirm, if his Mac falls asleep by itself or not?
If Lion Server is the problem, I would do another clean install without Lion Server, so my mac will sleep again. I would prefer
not to have the VPN service, but having a Mac, who does not consume power all the time...
Without Lion Server I can still access it with VNC or ARD and the iMac would be waken up by the "Wake on Demand" feature.
Regards
Florian

I know did again a clean installed of Lion without installing the Lion Server.
Now the sleep mode works again.... So it seems, that installing Lion Server is responsible for the iMac not going to sleep.
I installed Lion server because of the VPN functionality. I got this working without Lion Server by using a smart tool EasyVPN, which allowed me to setup OS X Lion as VPN server (PPTP and L2TP) without having Lion Server installed. you can get this tool at: http://www.squashedsoftware.com/products-easyvpn.php
Perhaps this is useful for somebody...

How do i install Lion Server on OS 10.7.2?

I have tried several times to install Lion Server on my iMac. But with no luck. Is says when it try to install:
Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
And then i search on the net. And found, i think a reason, why i can't install.
It is that it can only be installed on 10.7.0 and not on 10.7.2, inspite it said in the App Store under requirements: Mac OS X 10.7 or later.
Is there any there have some experience with this problem?
