Connect snow leopard to windows server

I try to connect my Mac with Snow Leopard to my work's Windows 2010 server. SMB is activated, no connection possible. Any suggestions?

Most Applications intended to run in that fashion would provide a Mac client, a Windows client and a Server component, designed to interact and keep a Master database on the Server up-to-date. Custom database software could also be written for that environment. Perehaps there are options for your package to be used in that fashion, but it would have to be designed-in from the beginning.
A web Application could also run in that fashion, with only a Web Browser on each computer interfacing to the Server software, which would keep the Master database and allow multiple access over your local Network.

Unable to bind MacBook Pro (running 10.6 - Snow Leopard ) to Windows Server 2003 domain

Hi there, I've been working on this problem for a few hours now (and a few hours last Thursday) and don't feel I'm getting anywhere, so I'm reaching out for help....
My organisation has just purchased a new MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6) and as a Technical Support Engineer I have been asked to configure it for an end user.
I am currently trying to join it to our corporate domain, which is a Windows Server 2003 domain operating at the Windows Server 2003 Native domain functional level.
The MacBook is configured to use DHCP, and has been assigned valid IP address, DNS servers etc by the DHCP server. It can resolve all names on our network, including the names of our domain controllers. When I use nslookup to resolve the name of the domain "my_domain.local" it returns a list of DC's on the domain, which would indicate to me that name resolution is working perfectly. It is using our primary DNS server, 'Ponus' to resolve these names - Ponus is also the Domain Controller in this site.
To attempt to join the MacBook to the domain I have created a computer account for it on the domain, in the Computers container. I have gone into System/Library/Core Services and run the Directory Utility.
In the directory Utility I have ticked Active Directory and clicked on it to edit. The 'Forest' field is greyed out and set to 'Automatic', in the 'Domain' field I have entered my_domain.local, which is the FQDN of my domain. I click Bind and when prompted enter my Domain Admin username and password (in the 'Create Computer Account in:' field it displays correctly as CN=Computers,DC=my_domain,DC=local.)
When I click OK I get the message: Invalid domain. An invalid Domain and Forest combination was specified. You should enter a fully qualified DNS name for the domain and forest (e.g., ads.company.com).
I have attempted writing the domain as my_domain.local, my_domain.local., MY_DOMAIN.LOCAL and MY_DOMAIN.LOCAL. but I get the same error each time. I have checked and rechecked DNS is resolving OK, and cannot see why it cannot find the Domain and Forest from the FQDN that I am entering. Even so I tried creating records in the hosts file on the MacBook to point to the main Domain Controller at this site (Ponus) but this didn't change anything.
I have seen a few people report the same issue online but the responses tend to fizzle out before anyone gets to the bottom of it. I have seen some indication that people with an understore (_) in their domain name, or with a .local domain name may experience issues with joining Mac hosts, however these details are very vague and if true there must be a workaround.
If anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it, I'm running out of time to complete this work and have run out of things to try.
I have an inkling that this is due to the Mac for some reason not reading the SRV records for the DCs and LDAP in DNS, or to do with the Mac looking only at one SRV record (ie. there is one for a new DC that we haven't deployed yet), not being able to reach this and giving up, but I'm clutching at straws really with my limited knowledge of the Macs process for joining the domain.
Many many thanks,

Hi there,
A simple suggestion , please make sure both MacBook Pro clock and the server clock are the same meaning the hour/Min/ sec both should match. A least difference of 3 seconds is fine.
I had faced this problem in many place and only solution was to match the time and it will bind immediatly.

Can I install both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 on the same version of VMWare 5?

Even though I am running Apple OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on my new 2013 iMac, I have just installed VMWare's "Fusion 5" so I can have Windows 7 installed on the "Fusion 5, for limited usage needs.
I also would like to have a running version of Snow Leopard available to run my large collection of original Lynda.com training DVD's and CD's ... which unfortunately, now only allow the Lynda.com GUI player to operate in (and up to) Snow Leopard (at least this is what the Tech folks at Lynda.com have told me).
Since Lynda.com is no longer producing any or their training programs on CD or DVD any longer, and because they have stopped supporting their training programs to run on Lion and above, I will have to have a version of Snow Leopard installed to run these training programs, and still be able to run them using the Lynda.com GUI player.
So here's my dilemma:
1. Can I install both a version of Snow Leopard OS on my "VMWare "Fusion 5" .... along with a running version of Windows 7 on the same "Fusion 5"?
2. Do I install only the Windows 7 on the VMWare, and find some other "device" to run a version of Snow Leopard off of?
3. Do I consider using "BootCamp", in conjunction with "Fusion 5", to get access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7?
Has anyone had any experience installing BOTH a previous (older) version of Apple OSX ... AND ... a Windows OS version on one installed version of VMWare "Fusion"?
OR
Any suggestions on how to set up having access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 .... while keeping OS Mountain Lion as my main OS?

Thanks ... the "You have to purchase Snow Leopard Server" I knew about, and a few days ago I just ordered a copy from the Apple Store:
Snow Leopard Server - Ordered at: 1-800-692-7753 ... OR ... 1-866-254-8313
I asked for Apple Snow Leopard Server (Model MC588Z/A (SLSVR)
"Unlimited Client License"
It was around $25.50 (USD) with sales tax and shipping (NYS).
One thing though ... when you mention: "you should make two virtual machines".
Not being too familiar with "Fusion 5" yet, Is setting up "two machine" all done under one installed version of "Fusion 5"?
Would you have "links" to any "Fusion 5" installation instructions/info for setting up the
"two machines" (one for Snow Leopard and one for Windows 7)?

Untrusted apps are not allowed to connect to or launch Window Server before login.

I'm getting this with the Citrix Receiver uninstaller from the command line... but not on all Mountain Lion 10.8.5 systems. Googling turns up a lot of ideas about a problem with the app or in pre/post-flight scripts, but since it works on some, I wonder. What is the mechanism that generates this error? I'm guessing there's some setting or condition that exists on one system that isn't true on the other. How do I find out?

Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

ARD only works with Windows computers if the Windows computer is running VNC server software. Even then it can only control and observe. Do you have this installed?

64-Bit and 32-Bit: Snow Leopard and Windows 7

Hi All:
I will eventually be dual booting Snow Leopard and Windows 7. I have never used Boot Camp before and have several questions, including one related to Boot Camp.
First, when installing 7, will I need to format the 7 partition, presumably NTSF.
Second, given my MBP's 64-bit architecture, will I be able to run 64-bit 7. I am aware, of course, that not many programs are available in 64-bit for either platform. Also, I know that the Snow Leopard renditions of all, or most, of the iLife programs will be 64-bit.
Does Leopard (and will Snow Leopard) run 32-bit programs in an emulation mode similar to the way 64-bit Vista/7 run 32-bit programs. In this regard, I assume, which surely must be the case, that OS X is a 64-bit program.

hi donv,
i run win7rc1 via bootcamp 32bit on mbp 17" 3.06ghz
and same, but 64bit on imac 3.06ghz.
all works perfect, also apple's keyboard (brightness+-/sound +-/keyboardbcklight +-/eject ..
format is ntfs; backupable with winclone, also now (i have cloned from ssd to ssd).
apps run also in emulation, but where specified drivers are needed (e.g. for flashing ci-cards) 32bit are a must (therefore i have 32bit on my mbp).
partly i have boot camp 3.0 drivers (snowleo) in the mbp ..

Failed upgrade on snow leopard and windows 8 on bootcamp

I'm using macbook pro early 2011 and using snow leopard and windows 8 on bootcamp. After updating to the latest version of snow leopard, I upgraded to Mountain Lion. On the end of the installation, the installer/bootloader can't boot the mac OS or Win 8 bootcamp. I tried using option key only recovery partition can be boot. Also I've tried reinstall from command-R menu, but the installer can't find the mac partiotion.
I tried using disk utility from recovery menu but it says "invalid BS_jmpBoot in..." Verify or Repair has failed successfully. I think the partition information is mismatch or can't be read by bootloader.
I have put the problematic harddrive to external case, using it as external drive and put an unused harddrive and install snow leopard. When I plugged in the external drive the os won't load/mount the drive/partitions. I've tried it on linux, the mac partition can be mounted but the win 8 bootcamp still can't be access.
How can I recover the partiotion or data on the win 8 bootcamp partition? Thanks for the help.

Windows 8 is not supported in Boot Camp. To get back to a supported configuration, boot from your installation disc and partition the internal drive with the default choices (wiping all data on the drive.) Then restore the OS X startup volume from the last Time Machine snapshot or other backup you made before trying to upgrade. You should then be able to upgrade to 10.8. If you wish, run Boot Camp Assistant and create a Windows 7 (not 8) installation.

I'm a college student taking a class in Operating Systems. We are working on a project comparing Mac OS-X (Snow Leopard) and Windows 7. Whatcan you guys tell me about the tech side of OS-X that makes it better then Win 7. All input gratefully accepted.

What makes Snow Leopard better than Window 7 from a tech standpoint? I'm writing a paper comparing the 2 OS's for a college class and I really need some help from the community. Thank you all in advance for your help.

What are the minimum hardware requirements to install both MAC OS X Snow Leopard and Windows on a Mac

Hi,
I want to install both MAC OS X Snow Leopard and WINDOWS on a same PC. Is it possible..then mention the minimum Hardware support to install both Operating Systems on a PC. I am waiting for relevant reply from Apple Support Team.
Thank You.

I am waiting for relevant reply from Apple Support Team.
Then you'll be waiting a long time. This is a user to user support site hosted by Apple. The Apple Support Team doesn't respond to posts here.
For Snow Leopard, you need an Apple computer with an Intel processor of any flavor. Here are the specs from the Apple Store:
System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
You'd have to contact Microsoft to find out what specs its OS requires, but I imagine the above would cover it.
Also note that Snow Leopard is only licensed to run on Apple branded equipment.

Can't connect you the X11 window server

Hi all!
I am having problems eom to show reports in the BEA with Crystal Reports.
I use BEA WEBLOGIC PLATAFORM 8,1 for Linux with Crystal Reports XI.
I configured server BEA to initiate as a service in my Linux SUSE, and therefore I do not use myself in the graphical way.
However when I try to visualize some report of crystal JSP page, I receive the following error:
<code>
Can't connect you the X11 window server using ':0.0 ' the value of the variable DISPLAY
</code>
With the reports me this error only occurs, therefore I have you vary webservices and paginas that function perfectly.
Already I read some topics of the forum related with this problem, but no similar to mine or that it decided my problem
Somebody could help me?
Obs:I am brasilian and my English no is good!
Sorry!

Hi Vitor,
May be this will help
1) Setting the DISPLAY variable using script or in cell by issuing,
setenv DISPLAY=<machine name>:0.0
or
export DISPLAY=<machine name>:0.0
where <machine name> is the IP or name of the machine that has a graphics server process running, like X11.
If you migrate your aplication to a different server, maybe the fonts put on the /fonts directory won't work fine...
Sample:
setenv DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 export DISPLAY
results in setting this variable for only that script process or for the cell with the local scope.
Use the xhost + command to make this variable to global scope with above.
The link has many workarounds

SMB Slow connection with upgrade to SnoW Leopard and Windows Clients.

<pre>
Dear,
I have now upgraded my MAC OS X LEOPARD 10,5,8 to new SNOW LEOPARD 10,6,2 and if some problems disappear I have a newer big one !
Now every time a Windows CLient try to connect to a SMB Share of SL server that take a long time about 10-15 seconds to open after that depending on client OS that could be nice for a moment (windows 7 and XP) or browsing stay very slow like for 2003 server connecting to Share on S.Leopard.
Could you please help me.
My SL are the main SMB share computer with all data it is connect like other clients to AD (SBS2003).
I have a SBS2003 server that are Master of Domain
and a Server 2008 acting like Terminal Server also member server of domain.
Here are kind of log I receive from SMBD.LOG: I suppose the Credentials problem when connecting are my explanation but how to avoid that !

Could you help me to troubleshout that problem ?
Thanks for your help.

Dear CarlosGBA,
So when you put 2 computers of your network in WORKGROUP in place of DOMAIN the 38 others works fine ? Strange ?
I have about 15 computers, some are already in workgroup other are linux smb other MAC, the data server are MAC OS X SL, the problem appear for all windows machines, I have try to dissable NTLMV2 and Kerberos since it is probably the faulty element with opendirectory,but always without success !
I don't know what I can do to trouble shout, I hope next release 10.6.3 come soon and correct about all SMB problem ! Probably a dream only ! Since I ask my self if Apple want to correct something andwhy is this problem let without solutionso long ! For a company it is a big problem.I suppose that Apple never read this forum and never answer our problem ! May be I should contact the support phone to be helped !
Thanks for you help.

Problem connecting iChat client 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to iChat server (Lion)

Hi guys,
I'm fairly new to the Lion server, but it's all working fine with my Lion client(s) so far
However, my wife's best friend's MacBook is still running Snow Leopard ( and she is not willing to upgrade her MacBook as of now due to severak reasons) and I'm trying to connect her iChat client from Snow Leopard to the iChat server running on my Lion server.
If I try to set up the account manually in the iChat client, I can't find an option for Mac OS X Lion server and trying a work around with the Jabber account settings didn't work either (on the server's log: credentials failed). Then, I tried to create a profile on the server and downloaded it to the Snow Leopard system, but it wasn't recognised (in System Settings, there is no Profile option ).
So, can someone please, please, please give me any idea about it or is it simply not possible to connect a an older iChat client (5.0.3, Snow Leopard) to the latest version of the iChat server (Lion) ??
Again, any idea is very appreciated!
Many tx in advance.
Cheers
Kai

Hi there,
A simple suggestion , please make sure both MacBook Pro clock and the server clock are the same meaning the hour/Min/ sec both should match. A least difference of 3 seconds is fine.
I had faced this problem in many place and only solution was to match the time and it will bind immediatly.
