Change share name in Lion server?

Is there a way to change a share name in lion server? For example, I have a folder on my disk named "Sophos Anti-Virus" that I want to share via AFP. However, I want to share name to be simply "Sophos". I know I was able to do this somehow in 10.5 Server, but I can't seem to find a way to do it in Lion.

Hi
A way of doing this would be to launch the Server App and select the File Sharing Service. Select the share point and click the 'minus' icon to remove the share.
Obviously warn users they should save any data they are accessing and to disconnect from the share first.
Once the share has been removed from the File Sharing Service navigate to the folder in the Finder and change the name. Go back to the File Sharing Service and click the 'plus' icon and re-add the newly named share.
HTH?

Ditto. Guest accounts shouldn't have a password. No way to enter one in System Prefs...

Change display name of the server under Equipment

is it possible to change the display name of the LIVE / PRODUCTION blade under equipment --> Chasis -->Servers to our own naming standards.
Attached is the screenshot of current names.
UCS Manager Version 2.1(3a)

Azmathulla,
It is not possible to change the name of the server, but you can add a label to it (see attached screenshot). And yes, it can be done during production hours, this doesn't affect the production data.
Please let me know if this answers your question.

Why do I have to have a domain name with Lion Server?

If I have just a small local network of macs and windows clients all under one roof do I have to have a domain name? Everything in the tutorials and looking through old posts seems to indicate that Lion Server works better if I use a domain name for my network. Pro and cons for a network newbie like myself please?
Thanks,
Tony

Directory Services like Apple's Open Directory or Microsoft's Active Directory use a domain name server to support running such a service. Therefore if your going to run Open Directory (in your case) you need to run a DNS server and use a domain name. The domain name does not have to be a real one but using your own real one is often easier because -
You can be confident it is not conflicting with anyone else
It can make later setting up email and web servers easier
You could however use a fake domain like fakedomain.private and then your server would have an entry like server.fakedomain.private
I would advise using Open Directory (and hence a domain) as even if now you could get away without this on a small network, hopefully your organisation will continue to grow and might need this later. Doing it now saves changing it all later when it will be more hard work.

Change domain name clients and server

Hello,
I want to change the domain name from eg ".vancouver.gov" to ".vancouver.local" on all of our devices in the network. Zcm has been installed with ".vancouver.gov" and the clients also are registered with ".vancouver.gov". When i change the domain name on the workstations and change the corresponding dns entries of the workstations to ".vancouver.gov" i cannot register workstations anymore and wol does not work anymore. Distributing applications to the workstation does work.
Anybody now how to accomplish this change.
We have about 400 workstations and 1 zcm 10.3.3 server.
Thanks.
Ren

I would recommend an SR.
Changing the DNS of Devices should not impact any of that, so long as
the clients can still properly resolve the servers and you are not
destroying the old DNS zone.
This may indicate that the CA/Server CERTs do not have the fullied
qualified DNS name of the server but perhaps just the short name.
Also, I would not recommend attempting to fix any certs right away, but
rather using the "Additional DNS Name" setting on your server, since
changing a Cert could cause lots for work on client PCs.
Later versions of ZCM make changing server certs a little easier but for
10.3.3, I would just use the server setting instead of a change.
But since I suspect you can create an SR as most government accounts
can, it may be simplest to go that route but keep my thoughts avoiding
any cert rebuilds in mind if there is any issue with the names in the
server cert.

Adding NFS Share to Mountain Lion Server

Alright, here goes.
The company I work for has been using SL server for years and wanted to test a possible upgrade to ML server for NFSv4. Downloaded ML to test machine and ML server. I mounted it via server connector (nfs://blah blah..you get the idea) volume that I want to share comes up on desktop but will not show under the server app. I also have access to posix but I need full access to acl as well.
I'm trying to figure out how to access this NFS share so that I can share it from the server but cannot seem to get it working. To those who know OSX servers I probably sound like a moron, but I'm just an I.T. guy tasked with setting up a test server even though I'm not a "server guy". Any information would be greatly appreciated.
One more question. Would a migration from SL to ML server also bring along this volume? Thanks again.

I upgraded today and had the same issue. I took following steps to fix my computer.
Boot into Recovery Partition (Hold Option Button while booting)
Open Terminal.
Type resetpassword
Select your hard drive
Select the user account (Administrator)
Enter a new password for the user
Reenter password
Save
Restart
Boot normally, Login as Adminstrator with the new password and add "Admin" permission to your account.
Restart
Everything should be working as expected

Changing host name of JDI server

Hi,
during installation of JDI I used ip-addresses as host names for defining the domain host, the SLD server in domain definition, the dtr server URL in track definition, the CBS server URL in track definition.
I know that one shouldn´t use ip-addresses at all but we did have some trouble with the network infrastructure (DNS-Server, ...) at the beginning and the start of the project couldn´t be delayed.
Now, for any reason, the network department gave our server a new ip-address.
I then opened the CMS configuration tool and tried to change the host names (this time not to ip-addresses because DNS-Server works properly in the meantime).
Changing domain data is no problem. But when I try to save the changes of my track(s) I get an error message that says I should contact my administrator. I am the administrator
My Questions:
How is it possible to change the host names of JDI tracks?
What is to do at client side? There are already some developers working with the dev. configurations. Is it sufficient to change the according entries in the .confdef file or do the clients have to donwload the new dev. configuration from CMS host?
Thanks in advance
Helmut

Hello Helmut,
it should be possible to change the host names for tracks. You can get more error message details in the trace file of the Engine. To do so connect to your engine with the J2EE Administration Tool and check the defaultTrace.trc File in the Log Viewer.
For more details how to find this trace information have look into the Change Management Server Problem Analysis Scenarios (Link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/81/4bce4016d28031e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm). In the first Scenario Incorrect Initial CMS Configuration you can also find the general information how to read and find the CMS trace files.
Please open a CSN message for the component BS-CTS-CMS if can not find the reason for the error message or if it is real problem in CMS.
Best Regards, Michael

Changing cookie name in Identity Server hangs login

I changed the cookie name under AMConfig.properties to something other than iPlanetDirectoryPro. After restarting Portal 6.0, the login just loops. It seems to be hung -- but don't know the reason.
Has anyone experienced this -- or could someone try this out real quick and see if they have the same problem?
The file I changed was /opt/SUNWam/lib/AMConfig.properties. The line is com.iplanet.am.cookie.name=iPlanetDirectoryPro
Just change it to com.iplanet.am.cookie.name=iPlanetDirectoryPro1
Do I need to change anything else for the login to work? Any insight would help.
John

You also need to change the comment name in the tooll and then 'use as
default' option ....

Trouble connecting to Lion server AFP shares after changing server's hostname

Hello everyone,
I recently changed hostname of my Lion server box (via Server application) and now my clients are having a problem when trying to connect to its AFP shares via aliases. It takes 160 seconds of "resolving alias to <sharename>" before it finally works. Aliases were created by navigating to the server, connecting with "Connect As", providing valid credentials, then navigating one level up and dragging the share icon (blue disk with three white people outlines) to the Desktop with Option-Command.
What is interesting, if I create a new account on a client machine, create an alias, and click on it - it works without any delay, as it was for the clients that are having problems now; so I'm assuming some details about the previous server name got cached somewhere.
The clients with long delay problems can access the shares quickly if they click on the server in the Finder window drawer, then "Connect As" and provide their login credentials - it works instantly then.
I've been digging around quite a bit (deleting Keychain saved Network passwords for any and all references to the server I could find), and also by looking at kerberos logs on the server. What is interesting, the newly created clients I mention above who don't have delay with connecting, don't leave any records in the kerberos log file; but the ones that have 160 second delay do - there's nothing for 160 seconds, and then there is a flurry of activity, as the connection is finally established.
When a client who has trouble connecting uses the "Connect As" method described above, entries in the Kerberos log are created instantly when client clicks connect.
Probably also worth noting that renaming of the server was related to me setting up Open Directory on it.
Any pointers would be greatly apprecited.

I experienced almost exactly the problems you described. I also found that connecting via command line using mount_afp worked right away... and once the connection is established, mounting via finder was super fast.
Tried all kinds of craziness on the client, even a full Time Machine restore.
Tried fixing Open Directory.
I was absolutely stumped by what was happening, but then thought, Hmm. I'm wondering if it's related to MobileMe going down? I noticed it started to happen after July 31...
Success! That was it! Signing out of MobileMe in System Preferences made everything work the way it should!
CDPlayer2: check if the clients are signed in to MobileMe, and if signing out fixes things - I'd appreciate it if you could post your results. Thanks.

Lion server change port?

Hello everyone,
I know that the web port for lion server is 80. But I would like to change it to 8080 as my ISP blocked 80. How can I change this on my lion server?
Thank you very much!

Ah, I've recently worked this one out for my mail server
In 'Mail' on the server.app tick the 'Relay outgoing mail through ISP' box and then click edit.
in the 'Outgoing Mail Relay' box entery your mail relay and add the port you want to use after the address.
I'm using dnyDNS so for me it looks like this outbound.mailhop.org:2525
Then enter you account login details and you should get the outbound mail servier to work.
As a side topic - once i have this set up my server emails all the alerts set up in the 'Alerts' window.
For the input port I have dnyDNS (Dyn Email Gateway) setup as a relay and forwarding the mail on port 2525 then use my routers port mapping to map port 2525 to port 25 on my server.
One thing that caught me out when I set it up was the spam filtering setup, which turns the incoming mail around to see if it's resent. this is the correct behaviour but to test the mail setup it's best to turn it off until you have everything else running.

Win7 Offline Files sync error after upgrade to Lion Server 10.7.2

Symptom: client is a Win7 laptop, the server is Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion Server with SMB and AFP shares. Win7 Offline Files stopped working after I upgraded Snow Leopard (non-server version) to Lion Server 10.7.2. After updating to 10.7.3, the problem persists. When syncing, it gives thounsands of error like this: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. WinXP clients are fine with the Offline Files function though.
I Googled and studied online for several days now and it might be related to the "Oppurtunistic Locking", or "Oplocks" for short, in the SMB protocol. Since Apple has re-written Samba, there's no "smb.conf" anymore to change the Oplocks setting. Maybe it's possible to change the setting in "com.apple.smb.server.plist"?
From the Internet:
1. Oplocks should be DISABLED on the server if there is any other file sharing protocol (AFP, etc.) other than SMB.
2. Offline Files will NOT work properly if Oplocks is disabled on the server side.
3. It was possible to config oplocks setting in smb.conf in Mac OS X versions prior to Lion but now there's no such config file.
My Question:
1. Does anyone else have similar problems?
2. Is it related to the Oppurtunistic Locking thing?
3. Is Oppurtunistic Locking enabled or disabled in Lion Server by default?
4. If it's related to Oplocks, how can I change the setting on the server?
5. I've noticed that the authentication from Windows PCs to the SMB share on the Lion Server is much slower then in SL. Could this somehow be related to my problem?
Thanks for your time! :-D

Any luck getting the info on SMBX parameters like OPLOCKS ? This is apparently causing an issue with Autodesk Revit. I am resorting to installing SMBUP.
There is an article that describes this method for altering the Lion smbd configuration parameters for honoring ACLs:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server AclsEnabled -bool NO
from this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4149

How do I connect a pc to mac mini lion server?

Have recently purchased a mac mini lion server and have had no problem connecting macs in a small office. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to connect the 2 PC's in our office...
I am not an IT person - doing this with complete ignorance!
Any help much appreciated.
PS. I have enabled SMB on server, but still can't see the server on PC networks

Hi frustrated,
(I know what you mean...)
In any case, let me attempt to help you...
First of all, on the Lion Server machine (let's say this machine is named MyLionServer), open the Server app, click on File Sharing, and add the mount point you want to share. Let's call this mount point Drobo (just in case you have a Drobo attached to your Lion Server), but it could be any folder or disk attached to your Lion Server machine or on your local network. Edit the mount point share (highlight Drobo and click on pencil icon), and add the users (click + button and add the usernames) you wish to access the Drobo share, and how they access it (read only, read/write, etc.). Also make sure to check the "Share with Windows clients (SMB)" button. Click done and wait for the Server app to restart all of the file sharing servers.
Now for the Windows PC (I have just tested this myself on a PC running Windows XP Pro):
Click the "start" buttom, click "My Network Places". In the My Network Places panel, click on the "Add a network place" button. This brings up the "Add Network Place Wizard", highlight the "Choose another network location" and click "Next>". In the Internet or network address box, add the following: "\\MyLionServer\Drobo" (yes, I know the slashes are backwards from what you normally use in the MacOS - also, the name Windows wants may have only the first character capitalized, as in "\\Mylionserver\Drobo"), then click the "Next>" botton, then click the "Finish" button. The first time you perform this for the first share on your Lion Server, a window opens and asks for a username and password. Enter one of the usernames and passwords that you gave read/write access to in the File Sharing panel for the Drobo mount point on your Lion Server. This brings up a \\Mylionserver\Drobo window on your PC that is mounted to your Lion Server's Drobo.
Hope this helps,
Switon
P.S. As I said, I tried this out on my own PC as I was typing the instructions into this reply, and the above works for me. But I did it on Windows XP Pro on a 6 year old PC laptop, and all machines and Windows OSes are different, so it will probably require you to do something slightly different from what I described above unless you just happen to be using Windows XP also. Good luck.
