Connect OS9 to OSX 10.6.2 File Server

I'm trying to connect my OS9 computer to my Xserve running OSX Server 10.6.2 to access files (via AFP).
I've taken a look around the discussion forums, and have found that 10.6 Snow Leopard no longer supports AFP connections from computers running Mac OS 10.2 or earlier. (verified: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3055)
I was wondering if there were any workarounds that any of you can/have come up with.

If you didn't understand the above posts, it means you can't connect your 9.2 OS to 10.6.2 Server OS. You have to get your client (9.2 OS) make it a Share Piont (Share it to others on the network) & get your server (10.6.2 Server OS) to connect to the the client. Thus you will have to store every thing on the 9.2 computer & copy it from the client to the server, from the servers GUI (you will have to be siting at the server to copy/access every thing). This makes no sense & solves very few problems!
Yeah I have the same problem. I have to administrate A hybrid network of Mac's & PC's. Lots of customised (In-house) software, some of witch will only run under OS 9.2 or earlier. Thus I have to be able to Share under AFP compatible with old versions. I had read some where that you could do it if you upgraded AppleShare to 3.8.8 But alas; that didn't work for me. I wanted to consolidate all of the share points into one/Two Array's. I guess anyone who also find them selves in this predicament could always find a old third-party piece of software like "Dave Classic" by "Thursby Software", that allows old Mac's to connect to Windows Networks. But I think I will just Use a third-party piece of hardware Like A "Thecus 5200" to Share afp to legacy computers, & in the end have a slightly more complex back-up strategy using Nsync, & use a little more power than necessary.
P.S. "Apple, I can understand why you have publicly stopped supporting such old systems, but why have you made it impossible for Mac supporters to do so with out using third-party products?"

Can long file names survive OSX to OS9 to OSX?

This computer has dual boot capability, but since owning it I haven't actually booted to OS9 and have used it extensively with Tiger. I know OSX supports much longer file names than OS9. I recall back when I used both OS9 and OSX computers if I took a file created under OSX and looked at the directory under OS9 that all the long file names were truncated and/or encoded at the end (I never did it the other way around and always stuck with short names on all the files I used on both systems). Now I'm wondering if I boot to OS9 and then boot back to OSX if something permanent will happen to my long file names. Will they survive a passive journey but not if I actually open them with something, such as all my music files if I have them in SoundJam? A simple answer probably, but maybe I can get an answer here rather than the "backup, try it, and see" method.

Will they survive a passive journey
Yes.
if I actually open them with something, such as all my music files if I have them in SoundJam?
It depends on whether the application supports long file names; if not, the file's actual name will become set to the encoded name upon copying or modification of the file, and the application may not be able to access it. Using a Disk Copy version that doesn't support long file names to convert a disk image containing them without resizing the image will preserve them.

Connecting os9 G3 to 10.3 G4

First I would like to thank everyone for the help on (help or I'm going pc) quick up date I had to erase HD and install osx 3 times before i got a clean install. Yea os9 was long gone. all i can say is +REPAIR PERMISSION+ and do it again. and wow that is how a mac is supposed to run! I also did a fresh install of os9 on my B/W g3 and it is running like a champ. So my question is can i connect my b/w G3 running os9 to my G4(apg) running 10.3 Do I need a crossover patch cable? how can I tell the difference I have 4 or more Ethernet cables lying around. Any tips on getting these two to talk?

Yes I would like to work on programs in os9 on the g3 then move file to G4 with osx. I connected the g3 & g4 with fire wire started the g4 and then the g3 holding down the T-key, nothing happened and I can't find target disk mode. should i be looking on the g3 or g4 any ideas.

Apple Support said OSX Server could not be used as a file server only

Hi There,
We bought OSX server thinking it would be easier than MS Small Business Server 2003 to setup, administer and maintain, as well as be more compatible with our mac studio.
The simple setup we would like is:
- A file server for our Mac studio (7x macs)
- A "My Documents" style redirect to backup email from the client machines
- Some sort of secondary backup to a HD on the server (primary Backup is already taken care of)
We're using a single 1.8ghz G5 box as the hardware
After a lot of trouble with the documentation and the setup example in the manual, I called Apple Tech Support.
I was told in no uncertain terms that if we didn't have a fully qualified domain name on the server (and all the services needed to run it), then I could not configure the server as a simple File Server with a My Documents redirect and that Apple could not support me. - IS THIS TRUE?
I am not a network/IT/PC guy, I'm a graphic designer, but I've found the installation and setup of MS Small Business Server to be much easier than OSX so far (despite the MS documentation).
Any help or direction would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

Hello,
If you need to just setup a FileServer then you do not need OpenDirectory or DNS. You just need AFP and Windows File Sharing turned on.
You can create a windows workgroup and setup shares in WorkGroup Manager using the internal users and groups database.
When the windows clients boot up you could set up a persistent mapping of a volume which would contain your email data. You would use a \\192.168.x.x type connection from the RUN menu.
It sounds like you could do with some more help on how best to use the server. I rekon you would be better off not having a simple fileserver (though it would work!) and make use of the extra functions availiable in the server software. On OS 10.4 server you can create a Windows Domain Controller that would allow all your PC home directories to be stored on the server, this will ensure that the Desktop, My Documents and anything elese the user stores in their profile will be safe and backed up on the server. You can also do this for the the Macs, in fact you can set it up so you can loggon to any PC in the office and your user information, desktop wallpaper and other settings follow you, if you were to then logon to a Mac you would have your documents follow you around the office. This works great for people hot-desking and using different types of computer.
I don't understand why you were advised to have a fully-qualified domain. When I have setup OpenDirectory and Windows Domain Controllers with DNS and LDAP etc I have just made up a domain name on the DNS server like "mycompany.net" and call the server "server.mycompany.net" and printers "epson.mycompany.net". The only problem with this is because if you were to use a domain name that is registerd on the internet then your computers would have trouble resolving that name, so don't use "apple.com" or "google.com".
Good luck,
David

Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.

Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.
Bought my girlfriend the newest Macbook Pro 13" and began experiencing problems with my wifi the moment we got home. Her Macbook would not connect to our home Wi-Fi while my old Macbook Late 2008 running Snow Leopard connected without a problem. Airport would say that it had a Self-Assigned IP address (168.x.x.x). Did not realize it was a Lion problem until after using her Macbook Pro and becoming jealous of the new OSX, I upgraded. Soon after I was unable to go online. Luckily I had my iPad 2 and I began to scoure the net for help. Ran into allot of suggestions but it was not until I tried the following all together was I able to share the good new, from my Macbook. Hope this works:
First go to Preferences > Network and click on the cog next to the + and - on the sidebar and click Set Service Order
     - Move Wi-Fi to the top and click ok.
     - Set location to Automatic
     - Click Apply
     - Click Advanced
     - Click the "-" on the selected Wi-Fi router you wish to connect to
     - Click Apply
     - Click Lock to Prevent Further Changes
Go to your Mac's harddrive, (Macintosh)
     - Go to Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration >
     - Delete "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" file
Turn off your computer
     - push and hold Option+Command+R+P
     - turn on computer
     - when the grey screen turns on you will hear the OS X "ON" sound (for lack of a proper term) and it will momentarily restart.
     - you will once again hear the "ON" sound, let go of all keys.
     - this resets your PRAM
Go to Preferences > Network > Advanced > + sign
     - click Choose a Network
     - Select your network and enter password
Viola!!! I tried this on my Macbook Late 2008 and my girlfriends new Macbook Pro 2010

     No you are clearly mistaken. The Self-Assigned IP address problem exists on many Macbook Pro models, including the current model, which I mentioned as being the original computer with the problem. While my 2008 Macbook is older it was working perfectly on Snow Leopard and didn't suffer issues until switching to Lion. So clearly the problem exists on the operating system and not so much the hardware.
     I called Apple Support and they had no fix for the problem and told me that this would hopefully be addressed in a subsequent update. It wasn't until I came accross the answer after trying many different methods that I got both of the Macbooks to connect to my router. Otherwise I wouldn't or could not have been surfing the internet for the last 4 months.
Cheers.

External hard drive format for use in both OS9 and OSX

I have never use OS9. A friend of mine wants to transfer their files from an OS9 computer to an OSX computer. Is there a hard drive format that can be used on both OS9 and OSX. It would be great to be able to transfer the files over on my Firewire hard drive.
Many thanks,
Beaglebrain.

Beaglebrain,
Should have added that you should check the size of your HD. OS9 won't recognise anything beyond about 190GB.

Decommissioned a file server, but every mobile account in the place is still trying to connect to it on login!

A couple of months ago we decommissioned the 10.4.11 xserve that was serving as our LDAP server and home directory server for mobile accounts. We migrated all of that to a newer 10.6.8 xserve. It was a fairly rough migration, but we've pretty much sorted it out except for one last annoyance: when you look at System Preferences->Accounts->Login Items for all of our mobile accounts, every single client is still trying to mount an afp share on the old server. Logging in takes FOREVER because the connection needs to time out, so now my users are no longer logging out/in as often as they should, and so their Home Sync's are getting old.
When you go to the client's Preferences, the line referencing the old server share is still there, but the minus sign is greyed out so the item cannot be deleted.
The Kind is listed as "unknown" and there is a grey warning triangle next to it.
This is clearly some sort of template/Preference that is hardcoded to the old name, and whatever file this is got moved to the new server (which has a different name and different numeric IP address.) Because even the BRAND NEW users that I have created since after "pdc04.hgbc.com" disappeared are trying to log in to the non-existent share on the non-existent server, too!
I have tried running grep on the entire disk on one of the clients looking for the string "pdc04", and updated everything that I found using vi directly on the files. I have tried running grep on select directory trees on the new file server looking for pdc04. In my grep on the client, I found the string in
/Library/Managed Preferences/user/loginwindow.plist
/Library/Managed Preferences/user/complete.plist
but searching all of the logingwindow.plist and complete.plist files on the new server comes up with nothing.
Does anyone have any idea where the template or preference or plist is on the server so that I can delete or update the file with the new host name?

I think that Grant is on the right track -- but the problem is that whatever file that pdc04's Server Manager wrote into is not available to pdc's Server Manager to edit or even display.
We upgraded mostly by turning off the G5 10.4 xserve and unplugging the fiber-channel RAID (with user accounts on it) and plugging the RAID into a fiber-channel card on the new (to us) Nehalem 10.6 xserve, which we did after using Migration Assistant between the machines. Then we had various and sundry problems, and we ended up moving all of the mobile account directories to the internal RAID on the new server.
Clearly there is a file somewhere that acts as a template for mobile accounts and it refers to the old machine but its been moved to the new machine.
Only two of the mobile accounts have directories in the /Library/Managed Preferences folder. One of them, ironically, is mine, and my account hasn't worked right since we went to the new server.

File Server For Both Mac OSX and Windows?

Hello All,
With HP discontinuing theier HP Server line, I've been browsing around for quite some time at a good box to use as a file server. My windows Home server is about to die i feel, and most PC based servers seem just as pricey as me acquiring a Mac Pro Server with Two 1TB Hard Drives and using OSX Lison Server.
However, before I take that plunge I was really wondering if anyone had had any success or stories that they can share about using a Lion Server with windows 7 PC's.
I use a MAC, but everyone else here uses windows. On my the home server box we bascially store all of our digital photographs, personal files and such as a backup. Granted the Apple time machines and mac mini's can be used as the same but you loose the redundant hard drives and stability of comintuing to upgrade if you run out of space.
So I'm hoping that its positive and pretty much flawless where the Mac Pro with Lion Server could just save and serve files galore without slow down or problems. With my past mac experience that's usually not the case. I just want to replace that box, have a new box that can store files off of the independent machiens with a here or there additional backup on it as needed.
The other plus if I take this plunge is I have a Mac Pro box for greater functionality at home over my Macbook Pro! So yeah, a little perk for me...
Thanks in advance for any news you can help or offer me... I know I'm probably asking something that a ton of others may have alredy asked and sorry for the duplication if thats the case

Mac OS X Server can do all that.
You can keep All the user accounts on the Server, or you can just use it for File Sharing. Does Windows SMB or Apple File System sharing without issue. Disk Utility can create Mirrored RAIDs right out of the box, that expensive RAID card is only needed for RAID 5.
I run a Server at home like a School Server with ALL User files on the Server (you log on at any Mac and your files appear, because they are on the Server). User files are on a pair of Mirrored RAID drives, and I use Time Machine to automatically back up all the User Files on the Server once an hour. Gigabit Ethernet Switches provide "Hard Drive-like" file access.

No more connections available to this remote computer...Urgent Help for File server...

Hi Guys,
I need urgent help regards to our school File server which is having "No more connection to this remote computer error"
on SMB Shares where I usually authenticate with a domain username it used to work fine since till 3 weeks ago.
Now I can browse the SMB shares with only IP... Netbios gets straight away this error message from non-domain joined pc's where the computer needs to connect to the SCCM distribution point on this file server.
Strangely, Domain joined pc's does not have this problem at all they can use Netbios or IP no problem at all. But someone from a standalone laptop or desktop who needs to access shares through netbios gets this message.
Can someone help me please?
I did check DNS yet there is no problem on DNS I checked PTR record for the server to make sure it is not turned in to multihome accidently but nothing at all.
I also did a NETMON where I captured the data from server and the client I get these errors:

Solution has been found,
After doing bit of a backtrack, site DC's were out of sync with PDC with time.
Also Time service was shutdown on PDC which has been enabled and pointed to the Australian pool ntp IP address.
Everything is back on track now.

SMB connection to Windows 2008R2 File Server Problem

Hello, I recently migrated a file server from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008R2. Since the migration, I can no longer use our Canon multi-function printer to scan documents to a network share on the new file server. The share has Everyone, System
and Authenticated Users set to Full control and the NTFS Security is setup for Everyone to modify. The connection from the Canon uses SMB using a domain account called jdoe.
I wondering if the problem is related the the LAN Manger authentication level settings. On the new file server and domain controllers it's set to Network security: LAN Manager authentication level is set to Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM &
NTLM. I have setup a network capture and hope somebody can help me out with determinging the problem.
Here is the detals of the Error

It does seem possible that the NTLMv2 authentication level might be affecting things. So I would give it a try. It's difficult to troubleshoot from the image, but I beleive there is a flag in the negotiate response that might give you a clue.
In either case, I think your question would be better served by our networking group, rather than the group that makes the tool. While we have some general protocol knowledge, we don't have the depth that the experts for each component would have.
If changing that setting doesn't work we can move this thread over to the right place.
Thanks,
Paul

I have my iMac G3 set up with three partitions like you are proposing.
I'd recommend getting virtual box on your new Mac. You can install the latest Linux version easier this way.
The problem is finding a PPC distro you like. I forget how I configured the Linux boot manager, yaboot. I may have skipped it or had it installed in the linux partition.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Mac not able to connect to SMB File Server

I'm having an issue with a Mac trying to connect to our file server. It was working before our company move but once we moved into our new building it stopped working. Our network settings stayed exactly the same except our router and firewall. It seems to me like it's a DNS issue because I am able to ping the server with the IP but when using the hostname is where it fails and also trys to ping an incorrect address. Our network is 192.168.X.X and it's trying to ping 69.60.X.X which seems like a outside address. I am able to ping the DNS server and seems to connect to computers with in the network but just not our File Server.

Hello:
You will need to delete the keyboard from the other Mac. Simply disconnecting it leaves it still paired with the first Mac.
