Can to setup Xserve to process all Mac requests for our AD enviornment...

I want to setup one of our XServe to be the directory controller for all of our Mac clients, which the XServe would then pass on to our AD server. Would also like that server to allow searching of Directory Users for iChat, etc. How can I set a system up to basically look like an OD server, but authenticate to our AD server, and also provide directory services to applications like an iChat server?
This system would NOT be pointed to by any PC's. We currently employ about 1300 users, and have about 200 Macs in the building. They want a seemless portal for the Macs in AD. Suggestions, tips, etc? Currently running 10.5.4 on all of our XServes.

    can i setup someone else on my mac, ie my wife, so that her photos stream to my mac

    You can set her up in place of you.
    You could also create another user account and set her iCloud up in it. However it would still require you to get photos from her user account to yours.
    Another option is to have her create a shared Photostream album and add all her photos to it and share it with you.

    sorry, I'd like to butt in here:

  • Where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    While they certainly don't make it clear, if you actually select the link on CNET, it's only an update file (Office2011-1434UpdateEN.dmg) which is listed on Microsoft's site:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads?pid=Mactopia_Office2011&fid=ECF3967A-2593 -4E94-8670-CE555E20047F
    They used to allow for a trial download, but I haven't been able to track that down in a while.  If the original poster has their key, it can be downloaded directly from Microsoft here:

  • Can i setup a 2nd iCloud on a PC for my wifes Iphone

    can i setup a 2nd iCloud on my PC to access my wifes iPhone 5 or is their another way to move her Photo Stream to the PC?

    You could use one at once and keep switching between the two, but it would be rather messy. You can also add more than one @me mail address to mail. You could also use seperate user accounts for each iCloud account. If you tell us why you would want to have two iCloud accounts on one mac we might be able to give better advice.

  • Process on value request for table control

    I have 10 rows in a table control,when a F4 for
    a particular column in a row is called,process on value request is called here i call a customized F4 based on the structure mapped to the row,but unfortunaletly unlike the screen the mapped structure is not populated,so is
    there a way of getting the structure mapped to the row.

    Hi Kaushik
    As I guess solution would be reading the row into the structure which the F4 screen uses.
    <u><b>e.g.</b></u>
    GET CURSOR LINE lv_linno .
    lv_linno = lv_linno + <table_control_name>-top_line - 1 .
    READ TABLE <itab> INTO <screen_structure> INDEX lv_linno.
    If this is not the case, then posting your POV coding will be better to analyze your code.

  • Itunes popup on mac requesting for my password, how to turn it off?

    When I click the play button on my mac to listen to music it doesn't turn on because itunes keeps requesting for my password for automatic downloads. How do I stop this? It just started after I got my iphone.

    @ Ivmedic...    Disabling automatic downloads does not resolve this issue.  I am having the same issue. I open iTunes and get prompted for my log in info for automatic downloads, if you log in the issue returns the next time you open iTunes same as if you hit cancel. Also you actually have to go through this 2 times when opening iTunes before it stops...  Certainly a bug in the 10.5.1 (42) build.  
    Does anyone know a way of disabling it in the terminal ?

  • I have three macs. Can I down load pages in all macs for $29?

    I have 3 macs - one macpro,one macair and one mac descktop. I downloaded pages in the descktop. Can i download pages on the other two macs without paying  another 29 dollars for each one. They are all in the same apple account. I did it in all my 4 iphones and 2 ipads ant it worked. It is not working in the macs.

    I posted about iWork for OSX,

    as iot seems that you have some difficulties to understand, here is a subset of the description of Pages for mac on the Mac App Store
    At the right bottom everybody may read that it requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
    I repeat that Apple describe clearly which app is for which kind of machine.
    About the rights of the customer, I never buy a product without reading its license and the Pages 's one clearly describe what is allowed.

  • Can't setup pop account and all mail deleted from server!!

    Trying to set up a mail account as pop. But Mail is determined to set it as imap.
    I've humoured it and gone through the process.
    After clicking 'create account' it gives the message that it's downloading 500+ messages. Once it's finished, nothing is in the inbox.
    To make matters worse, every single email has been deleted from the server. I do have a backup of my important emails but if this is something which is not isolated to me, then I feel sorry for anyone who does not have a backup.
    So...
    Is there a way to manually setup my account with settings of my choosing?
    Or, is this just a case of Apple deciding whats best for me and resistance is futile?
    Cheers

    I'm not sure what Mail version you're using and you can't change an existing IMAP account to POP, but you can add a new pop account in Mail 6.0 in a round-about way.
    When you're setting up the account it will only try it as IMAP, so in the first segment where it asks for the password, purposely enter the wrong password and click continue.  An error message will result, then click continue again and you will see a new window with a pull-down menu to select POP.  From there you can manually fill out the rest according to your server's settings. (Don't forget to put in the correct password this time.)
    In your case, I'm not sure how your messages left your server, but if you have webmail for the account you can check the trash there.  Also, you will have to delete the IMAP version of the email account before you can use the address for the new POP account setup.
    Personally, I use IMAP on my iPhone and POP in Mail for a more manual control of my accounts, so I know how you feel.  Hope this helps.

  • How to configure CF8 to process all URL requests?

    Configuration: Apache frontend, ColdfusionMX 8 application
    server
    My Application.cfc defines a cffunction OnRequestStart to
    check every URL (to ensure user is allowed access).
    The function works fine for .cfm files (because the
    jrun-handler specifies .cfm files).
    However I need every URL sent to Apache that contains a
    specific url-pattern (e.g. /secureMe/*) to be forwarded on to
    Coldfusion so that the OnRequestStart function will check for user
    access.
    How do I configure Coldfusion (e.g. jrun-handler, web.xml,
    jrun-web.xml)
    to process every URL?
    I've tried <servlet-mapping> and
    <virtual-mapping> and even tried out CFFileServlet but I
    cannot get Coldfusion to do anything with directories and non-cfm
    files.
    Any solutions and suggestions would be greatly
    appreciated.

    I had gotten that far but ran into the need for a servlet
    which I may need to avoid (see below).

    Since I have control over the form of the links to non-cfm
    files I decided to pass the path of the non-cfm file as an argument
    (QUERY_STRING) to a cfm template. /secureMe/checkAccess.cfm
    ?/private/files/foo.pdf
    Then the checkAccess.cfm template can do the work necessary
    to verify user access to non-cfm files.

    Thanks again, this is good to know.

    I have the skills and have written many servlets for Tomcat
    using Struts, etc. but the Coldfusion admin group likes to use
    everything OOTB (Out Of The Box). When I speak of servlets they get
    a glazed look in their eyes...
    While I am quite comfortable creating a WAR file and having
    the J2EE container perform the deployment it seems to be a bit more
    complicated with Coldfusion (i.e. include the runtime bits and
    deploy to JRun). I am not sure if the admin group is ready to
    tackle something that formidable. Development and deployment of my
    web application to the Coldfusion servers is much easier if I
    simply send the admin group a zip file of components, templates,
    css, etc. and just have them unzip it onto the server.

    I tried and it seems that the AddHandler jrun-handler setting
    only handles file extensions.
    I read somewhere that the mod_jrun connector only does two
    things:
    1 - Pass the request to JRun to see if it should be picked
    up by a servlet mapping
    2 - Pass the specific filetypes (e.g. .cfm, .cfml, .cfswf)
    to Coldfusion
    Once again thank you for all your help and advice.
    It is greatly appreciated.

  • Can I use a NTFS HD in Mac Pro for Bootcamp/Parallels?

    Hi,
    I'm a long time PC user who has just recently bought a Mac Pro.
    I have a HD in my old PC (74GB WD Raptor) that I would like to install in my Mac Pro, with the intention of using this drive as a Bootcamp partition. The HD is formatted but in NTFS.
    If I install this HD in my Mac Pro will it recognise it? Will I be able to install Bootcamp & Windows XP on it? Or will I have to convert the HD to FAT32 (where I think the max partition size is 32GB)?
    Also, If using Parrallels, is there any advantage in using a Bootcamp installation of Windows, or should I just forget about Bootcamp?
    Cheers,
    Simon

    Once you create the partition using Boot camp you can then Follow the steps to get to the Windows partition and format the partition either way.
    From page 12 of the Boot Camp Installation Guide:
    "NFTS provides better reliability and security, but you will not be able to save files to the Windows volume from OS X.
    FAT provides better compatibility allowing you to read and write files on the Windows volume from OS X. This option is available only if the Windows partition you created is 32GB or smaller."
