Can't rename folders on Snow Leopard Server

I have 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Server running on a new Mac Mini server. Attached I have a Pegasus Raid storing all my files. I have a sharepoint set up for every project we work on but a couple act strangely. Users can create and delete folders but can not rename them once created. In order to rename they must drag the folder onto the desktop, rename and then replace the folder on the server. All permissions are set up identical to the other sharepoints which work fine. I have had a couple so-called "experts" look at the permissions in both the terminal and Server Admin. Everyone seems stumped. Any ideas?

Thanks for the input but I finally soved the problem. Here is what I found...
Although I had given users/group the ALLOW/FULL CONTROL premission with a sharepoint, I discovered that in Server Admin if you double-click on the User or Group name under the ACL permissions that a drop down box appears. This box allows you to fine tune the ACL but it appears that by default all of the boxes are not checked even though I granted the user Full Control. After checking all of the boxes I was able to create and rename folders in my share as expected.
This also had an similar effect if I denied Full Control. Some of the boxes remained unchecked and it left holes in my system where denied users could still access some files. Again by checking all boxes these holes were closed.
Does anyone know how to change the default so that all boxes are checked when assigning the Full Control permission?

I transferred files from a NAS server to the Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server and now some of the files have Custom Access and can't be opened by some users. How do I fix this?

We're setting up our Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, and in the process transferred files that had been stored and accessed from our Blackarmor NAS server over to the Mac. These files were all created on PC's and are Office Excel files, WordPerfect files or PDF's. When you look at the files on the Mac from the Mac and bring up Get Info for the affected file, it says that the file has Custom Access. The files that work properly don't have that configuration. I can access and open the files on some computers, but some users can't open the files from their computer even though they can see it. We're all using PC's and they get the Error: Access Denied-Contact your administrator--or something similar. I've seen on the web similar issues and it may have something to do with ACL permissions. I don't know enough about Mac OS to understand this, but what is baffling is that they can be opened from some PC's but not others, and all of the Users have the same accessibility to the files. Thanks for a solution!!

Mobile account users can not log on to the snow leopard server machine?

Hi all,
I've setup a network user and designated it as a mobile account. ** OS X 10.6.2 **
When the user logs out of the snow leopard server machine, home sync tries to sync the local and network home directories. It is never able to connect. The network home directory is automounted and is not the default path /Users. I can see the two home directories on disk.
Anyone else able to have their mobile users log in to the snow leopard server machine without issues?
OS X 10.6.2 **

It was the Sync server was down and did not know it

Can i install bootcamp on mac mini snow leopard server 2010

hello,there are 2 harddisks on a mac mini server 2010 (snow leopard server.)i want to use the other hdd for installing Windows home server 2011 x64 .
but there is no bootcamp on the server.(do i have to download it?)
how can i do this,or do i have to use parallels desktop.
i have also a mac mini and a macbook pro and an alienware and a clevo laptop so i want the 2 servers seperate(and the mac-server on all the time)

You would need to install SL (non sever) on you Mac Mini Server.
You may be able to install the nonsever version on your 2nd HDD
-Partition you 2nd HDD to the max BootCamp Partition
-Install Windows Home Server on the BootCamp Partition (don't know of Windows Server is supported)
So you would have:
hdd1 - SnowLeopard Server
hdd2 - SnowLeopard (non-server) + Bootcamp Partition
Scenario 2:
If you don't have a need for SL Server SW, then wipe out the system and put only the regular SL (non sever) on disk 1. Partition Disk2 for Bootcamp only.
hdd1- SL (non-sever)
hdd2 - Bootcamp
I really don't know if you can copy the Bootcamp app onto SL Server OS to create a Bootcamp partition.

Can't Star iChat Service after update to Snow Leopard Server

We had installed Mac OS X Server on a Mac Pro, and we had the iChat Service working in the organization; but when we update to the Snow Leopard Server we can't start the iChat service again. In the Server Admin app, on the iChat node in the Overview I have this:
iChat Service is: Stopped
Start time: not available
Domain: not available
Client connections: not available
With the update if I choose the iChat service node, I can't see the Start iChat button.

Can I use Snow Leopard Server with Windows clients?

Mainly for e-mails and calendars. I have small office with 12 windows computers from XP to Win 7 and MS Office from 2003 to 2007. Will Snow Leopard Server work with that?

Can Mac OS X Server do this? Sure.
You're going to be learning a whole lot about running a server, regardless.
You really need to sort out what you have here and where you want to be, and how to upgrade or replace yor migrate your environment, and before you add the substantial increase in complexity of serving Windows from Mac. If you can't get off of Office circa 2003 or similarly old software, what are you going to do when you find, say, an incompatibility, or a need to migrate mail clients? Who are you going to call for help?
I'd guess that Small Business Server (SBS) is likely your best target here.
AFAIK, Exchange Server (which I'm guessing is what you're using) supports larger mailboxes in newer releases.
Look at the sustaining costs for what you're considering purchasing, too. How much it'll cost to configure, deploy and maintain the box and the network. Up-front costs are an obvious consideration, but maintaining many boxes and many versions itself introduces costs.
The arrival of Lion Server next month does not change my opinion. (And I'm not usually suggesting Windows and Windows Server boxes, either.) (And with the arrival of Lion and Lion Server, I'll follow my usual approach and not look to upgrade to the first release of that (or any other) new platform, if there are business-critical functions and services involved. You need time to debug and test the deployment.)

Can I install Snow leopard server on the new Mac Mini Lion server?

Hi guys, I purchased a Lion Server and I am wondering if its possible to install Snow Leopard server on it.
I have the Snow Leopard Server install discs and everything , just wondering if there is any thing I should take note of, I personally prefer SLS over Lion.
What do you guys think?

There's a huge thread on this (client, not server, but same concept) which you can find here.

Can I install a version of snow leopard server on a newer Mac Mini model?

Hi-
I have Snow Leopard server running on a Mac Mini from 2010. I decided I really need some redundancy so want to get another and sync them in case of failure. Can I buy the latest Mac Mini model and install Snow Leopard server on it or will it not let me due to some firmware limitation? I've been able to do revert on other models and not others. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

****-So I have to find the latest Mac Mini that will run Snow Leopard Server? I refuse to upgrade to that crap they call server nowadays. It's Snow Leopard server till I move to Linux. Thing is, those Minis cost nearly as much now as they did when brand new. I feel like I'm getting ripped off. Oh well. Thanks for the quick answer guys!

Can snow leopard server work in mac book pro

Can snow leopard server work in mac book pro

I would generally not recommend booting OS X Server natively on an OS X MacBook Pro system or any other portable (because server really wants a static IP for various of its services, and portables tend to wander networks), but it is possible to boot Snow Leopard Server OS X Server 10.6 for certain MacBook Pro systems.
If your MacBook Pro is newer than that list, then 10.6 will not boot on your MacBook Pro directly, but it's possible to install a third-party virtual machine software package onto OS X, and to then load and boot OS X Server 10.6 as a guest within the virtual machine — I'd suspect this is where you're headed here, too. I'd further guess that you've some old PPC PowerPC software around that requires Rosetta for its operations, as OS X Server 10.6 is one of the ways recommended for accessing that old software.
There are commercial and free virtual machines available for various versions of OS X.

Why can't Firefox set permissions for Snow Leopard Server Web-Site Wikis

I've established a web-site for collaboration of planning for a state-wide NGO and a local citizens-government oversight commission.
I'm using Snow Leopard Server v10.6.4, to drive the web-site, which includes the use of wikis.
In creating a wiki and setting permissions, I find that I cannot set permissions for users or groups to 'read only' from the default 'read & write' while using Firefox. However, I CAN set them to 'read only' using Safari. And, once the permission has been modified in Safari, THEN it can be modified in Firefox.

It’s blog update time! Updates have been a little scarce lately, been super busy with getting trophies on PS3
Anyway, recently encountered the following with a Mac mini server running Snow Leopard Server:
Despite being able to ARD / Screenshare the Mac mini, I was unable to get any further than the login window. Authentication credentials are obviously valid. No weird access permissions have been set. However, the weird thing was, I can connect to the server via Server Admin tools (from another Mac) and all other services were running without a hitch.
After much head scratching it turns out to be a sACL (Service Access Control List) issue.
This thread solved the mystery!
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1654864
To save you the trouble, I’ll lay it out here. I cannot take credit for this, but Randall can!
Open Server Admin on a computer (any), and connect with the local admin to the machine.
Select the server and authenticate.
Select Settings, then go to Access. You’ll want to make sure that Login Window and SSH have the local admin account listed if you select the option to “Allow only these users”. For now, I would suggest making sure all services have “Allow all users and groups” selected.
If (as in my case) it was set to Allow All in the first place, simply toggle the settings – back and forth.
Save.
Try logging in again… should be a good one!

Can I use boot camp or other virtualization software with Snow Leopard Server?

Can I use boot camp or other virtualization software with Snow Leopard Server?

Boot Camp is not virtualization; it boots Windows natively on the Mac hardware. So Boot Camp would be irrelevant to running Snow Leopard Server. Parallels and VMWare Fusion both have at least "experimental" support for running Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine on Mac OS X, though I don't know how robust it is as of this time. You might ask for opinions on the Parallels or VMWare forums.

Kadmin can't change dsimport'ed passwords in Snow Leopard Server

Hello, World.
I am attempting to manage user accounts in Open Directory from a non-Mac system. After a good deal of investigation on Leopard Server, I wound up ssh'ing to our Open Directory server to create new accounts with 'dsimport', and then to manage later changes to the account through LDAP (for non-password data) and through Kerberos with kadmin, on the theory that kadmind was supposed to propagate the encrypted plain text passwords into Password Service for all of P.S.'s hashing needs.
This worked great in Leopard Server, but under Snow Leopard Server, any attempt to change a user's password via kadmin fails with
'change_password: KDC policy rejects request while changing password for <principal name>'
At the same time, the system log (/var/log/system.log) shows
Nov 2 17:53:46 od1 sandboxd[76028]: mkpassdb(76026) deny file-read-data /usr/sbin/mkpassdb
Nov 2 17:53:46 od1 sandboxd[76028]: mkpassdb(76027) deny process-exec /usr/bin/ldapsearch
However, if I create a principal directly with kadmin, kadmin does allow me to change the password for the principal I just created.
Use modprinc to remove attributes (REQUIRESPREAUTH DISALLOW_SVR) from the dsimport'ed principals doesn't affect anything in any positive manner, though the principals I create manually in kadmin do lack these attributes.
So, does anyone know what the story is, here? Is there no supported API that I can use from a Solaris/Linux server to fully manage accounts under Open Directory?

I have a Similar issue, Details below. the summary is that Using the Snow Leopard GUI interface I created 17 users with a generic low security Password. then transferred and converted some mail files to the server. Once the mail was working properly, I changed the passwords to a slightly more secure password, and set it so my users would have to change their password to a more secure password at log in.
Even after these password changes it is very easy to get other user's ticket information, if you know the original low Security Password with
kinit <other user name>

Can i install snow leopard server on a macbook?

hi,
i have to do some tests with snow leopard server. can i install it on a macbook white unibody bought one mounth ago? i don't want to buy a desktop mac to do this.
bye.
ls

Sure, as long as it meets the hardware specs.

How do I uninstall Snow Leopard Server, so that I can revert back to Snow Leopard?

I was experimenting with the Snow Leopard Server DVD on my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. I started the installation process, expecting that it would not install on the Startup Disk, as I had not booted from the DVD.
To my surprise it installed!
How do I "uninstall" or revert back to Snow Leopard, without have to take such drastic steps that I would lose all of my Snow Leopard System folder contents (such as doing a wipe and starting over with a fresh Snow Leopard install)? Thank you.

I assume by "back up your data" you mean a Time Machine backup?
Preferably, yes.
I have a BootCamp partition to run Windows; does Time Machine back that up, too?
No, but it won't be affected unless something goes wrong. You still need to back it up, of course, just like all other data.
