Can my MacPro running OS X Server 10.4.8 be headless?

Hi, all.
I'm running OS X Server 10.4.8 Server on my Intel MacPro. Can I run it "headless" and still have all services startup? It seems that if I boot it up and don't login, then the services don't start. (Or maybe they are started and I'm just not giving it enough time). Anyway, since I'm going to be using this as my business server, I'd like to put it in the corner and not have a monitor, KB, mouse, etc. attached.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...

That's what all of us with Xserves do. Get a copy of ARD (Apple Remote Desktop) to do remote admin. The ARD client comes with Mac OS X (server and non-server), so it will already be on your MacPro. Some people use a VNC program such as Chicken of the VNC, but the features of ARD are well worth its price. Very nice.
Server Admin, Server Monitor, and OS X Server Install all can be done headless. Only those few programs that do not have client/server type operation will require that you ARD over to the server to admin.
Good luck.

  • Can 10g OAS run 10g Report server and 6i reports together?

    Re-posted from the OAS thread: Can 10g OAS run 10g Report server and 6i reports together?
    We have need to run 6i and 10g reports from the same physical server running OAS 10g.
    Are there issues / conflicts?
    There are hundreds of 6i reports called from many applications. Converting completely is a separate project on the books.
    The need is to utilize 10g graphs on this urgent project. The graphing in 6i has not gotten along here with RAC and other distributed architecture. Additionally, I believe the 6i graph runtime would have to be installed on each client workstation... again, hundreds.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    You can install OAS 10g and Reports 6i on the same server as long as they are installed in different ORACLE_HOME ..
    Take car to the value of the variable PATH ..

  • Can a Mac running OS X Server be converted to just regular OS X?

    I am considering buying a Mac Mini; it is configured to run OS X Server, but I was wondering if this can be overwritten just with regular OS X? I ask because whilst I am attracted to the spec of the Mini in question, I don't intend using it as a server. Do I indeed need to overwrite the OS, as I know that Server comes with all of the regular OS apps, etc.
    Thanks in anticipation of any advice given. :)

    Yes, it can. You can simply remove the Server app, all OS X Server really is is a GUI for existing UNIX software. You don't need to reformat & reinstall.

  • Standalone VDS - Can it be run as a server process?

    Hi All,
    I noticed that a standalone installation of VDS can only run in a logged in user session on the windows server in order for it to have a ldap port active. Is there a way we can have vds ldap port listening without having it running in a user session, e.g. making it a windows service. If the user logs off the session in which VDS was launched then the ldap server does not run. What are others doing about this?
    Cheers
    Leo

    You can run VDS as service.
    You can see that here

  • Can OSB XE run on a server other than the database system?

    I have a 2 node 10GR2 Standard Edition RAC using an EMC SAN and ASM. However, I can't attach a tape drive directly to the database servers because they have no available slots for SCSI controllers. Is it possible to use OSB XE installed on a separate system (which would act as the administrative and media server) with a tape drive to back up the RAC database, or does XE only permit backing up a system which contains both the database and the tape drive? (I'm not too concerned with backing up the OS). If so, would the backup contain archive log threads for both RAC nodes?

    OSB-XE may be used for a single-server environment only. You describe 3 hosts in the environment. The only way you could use OSB-XE would be to have one host configured as your admin. server, client and media server and only back data on that server. If you are backing up the database, then OSB-XE must be installed on the database server which also must then be configured as your admin server and media server....it must be direct attached via SCSI to tape drive.

  • Can Oracle 9i run in Windows 2008?

    Hi All,
    Can Oracle 9i run in Wondows Server 2008 environment?
    Thanks,

    Edited by: user6533646 on 2010年3月17日 上午12:08

    Oracle 9i is desupported.
    To the best of my knowledge Oracle 10g is also not supported on Windows 2008.
    Go ahead and try installing if it works its great. Of course I will not recommend it for official use.

  • Firmware update on MacPro (running Server 10.5.2)

    Hi all,
    Has anyone tried this update (daring as you may be...) and can you tell us if everything seems fine after that?
    I have just setup a new Intel MacPro box and Leopard server (10.5.2) and have everything running very smoothly and am a bit loathe to run this Firmware updater in case it is not really needed and just screwing things up.
    Thanks in advance!
    Chris

    Hi
    I've done a few of these just lately, installed with no problems. I'm guessing you are referring to the Graphics Card Firmware Update? Least-ways this is the only firmware update I've seen for either Client or Server. However I am referring to the latest models.

  • Can HFM & FDQM  run on Oracle Database 10.2.0.2 based on a 64bit server?

    To enhance performances of HFM and FDQM, my customer would like to upgrade the Oracle DB server (10.2.0.2) that runs on Windows Server 2003, from 32Bit to 64Bit, that supports larger number of connections.
    The HFM and FDQM are installed on Windows Server 2003 32Bit and will not move to the new 64Bit server so only the Oracle DB will be installed on the new 64Bit server.
    Is it possible? Is there any document that explain it?
    Thank you,
    Yoram.

    Hi,
    I am facing another related problem. I have installed HFM 9.3.1.1 along with Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 in Windows server 2003 SP2. When I try to create udl by choosing Oracle Provider for OLE DB, the test connection succeed. but giving unknown error at the time of Application server configuration indicating to apply working udl file.
    When I check the HFM installation guide, it tells to download and install the 'Oracle Provider for OLE DB' file from Oracle.com (as per page 21 of the installation doc).But the problem is that the 'Oracle Provider for OLE DB' file is not available for the aforesaid Oracle 10g version.
    Can anybody guide me in the aforesaid problem? Please sent the link from where I can get the file for installation purposes.
    Your help would be of great help.
    Thanks & Regards...

  • TS1490 i am running Windows Home Server 2011 and iTunes can't seem to connect to the iTunes Store nor run Genius on my Library.  What do I need to do?

    I am running Windows Home Server 2011 and have installed iTunes on my dedicated server, attached to my router.  I can't connect to the iTunes Store nor run Genius on the server ONLY (iTunes runs fine on by two other PCs and my Apple TV and I share the libary that resides on the server).  I am running a very current version of iTunes 64 bit.  I have run the connectivity test and it failed. 
    My guess is that there is some setting in the Server software that i need to change to let iTunes access urls or computers on the internet.  Does anyone have any experience with this software combination?
    Thank you

    Some guy managed to get this to work. The following link is for iTunes 10.5 but it should work for the current release.

  • Still can't get VPN running on Lion Server

    Hi Guys.
    I'm runinng 10.7.2.  I had VPN running on SL, but have never had it working on Lion.
    I'll start off by saying I have NO airport or any other router.  My box is hooked up straight to the net.  I have 5 vlan interfaces.
    One if for the internet, one is for the lan, one is for a guest, one is just for configuring the switch, and one is for configuring the aruba wireless gear.
    I can connect to the VPN from inside the network, but not from the outside.  You would think this might be a firewall issue, but I have tried with the firewall disabled and it makes no difference.
    This is what I'm seeing in the logs when I attempt to connect externally:

    I'm all out of ideas.  If anyone else has had an issue running VPN with multiple VLANs and has some insight, I would love to hear it.  From what I can tell I'm dialing in, but the servers response packets are never going back to the client.  I don't know how to trouble shoot that.

    I am having this exact same issue. Sounds like you're on Comcast also? I can connect from inside but not out... and I've even talked to Comast on the phone but it made no difference. I really think this is a Comcast issue, because, if you're like me, you can access all other services the server is providing
    Do you know if there's a way to change the port for the VPN service for testing purposes? This might help clarify what's going on...
    Also-- I should add that Comcast suggested disabling Gateway Smart Packet Detection as that can apparently interfere with secure packets. Try that out and post if it helps!

  • Can Photoshop Starter Editor 3.0 run as a server application

    Can Photoshop Starter Editor 3.0 run as a server application and be accessed by more then one computer simultaniously? If this is in breach of the license agreement, where can I find more information on this ?
    If this program cant perform as a server app. is Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 able to operate as a server app. ?

    Okay Tom...
    Now these may be things that people have already discussed in the forum, so
    you'll have to pardon me if you already know this.
    You CAN use the database on the server and put the application on the client
    computer. PSE prevents multiple accesses to the same database so that will
    avoid any conflict issues, however you would still need to contact Adobe
    about licencing. Further with PSE 4.0 out now... you are looking at another
    application.
    I'll see what Picassa can do, but I would NOT hold my breath... and while it
    is a handy little app, for me it is FAR too limited for anything more than a
    quick search and some very basic tools.
    I'll see what I can do in the next 20 minutes or so and get back to you.
    Cheers
