Domain Controller (Windows) + Secondary Domain Controller (Mac)

Can this setup be done to where the windows box would control windows computers, while the secondary controller (xserve) would control the authentication for Macs?

Hi
OSX Server can function as a Domain Member in a Windows Server environment. It can’t function as a BDC if the PDC is a Windows Server. The only occasion that OSX Server can function as a BDC to a PDC is when the PDC is an Open Directory Master, in other words another OSX Server. In effect this would be an OD Master and Replica relationship.
This applied with 10.4 Server. I may be wrong but I’ve not seen anything in the 10.5 Open Directory Admin Manual yet that says different.
Hope this helps, Tony

Windows 2012 R2 ADRMS domain controller version and Non-domain-joined Mac Client with outlook 2011

Hi,
What is the AD version for Windows 2012R2 ADRMS? Is it possible to have Windows 2003 R2 DC with Windows 2012R2 ADRMS?
Any installation guide Non-domain-joined Mac Client with outlook 2011?
What is the SQL version for Windows 2012R2 ADRMS?
Please advise. Thanks.

Hi Kelvin -
There is no RMS Client for Macs. That functionality is actually provided through the Office for Mac application (this is different compared to the PC). Domain-joined clients will autodiscover the RMS server and should be able to create and consume
protected content. Non-domain-joined clients cannot automatically discover their RMS server. In this scenario, prepare a protected document or email from a domain-joined machine and send it to your non-domain-joined users. They will open
the document or email up and the URLs contained in the publishing license of the document will direct them to the correct RMS server.
I hope that helps!

Problems switching from personal domain to .mac

I'm wanting to move a site from my personal domain to .mac. However, when I attempt to publish the site it automatically attempts to publish to my personal domain. How can I change the settings to publish to .mac?
I attempted to solve this problem by creating a "new" site, but it still tries to publish to the personal domain rather than .mac.

I've done it. I just copied my data to the Mac and also copied the library files:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
This preserved all my ratings and playlists, etc.
I think there was a little bit of magic to get iTunes to find where all the music was now stored. It wasn't that difficult though. Plus only do this before you delete all your stuff on the Windows machine.

How do I find my server address, directory domain or MAC OS x server?

I went into systerm preferences, then accounts, in Login Options it has Network Account Server (Join . .) when I hit Join it asks for my server address, directory domain or MAC OS X Server? Are these all the same addresses? Also how do I find mine? Is it an IP address. I just need a simple answer.
FYI I'm on a wireless network on Airport Extreme. I also have a MacBook Pro Lion 10.7.5 hooked up with this and my MAC. When I click on Network on the MacBook Pro Lion 10.7.5 Wi-Fi comes up instead of Airport Extreme. Do I even need to join the Network Account Server in Account Preferences? Thank you in advance if anyone can help me

Do I even need to join the Network Account Server in Account Preferences?
No. There is no network account server.

Moving personal domain to .mac - what happens to the email accounts?

I have had my own domain for many years, hosted at an ISP. I wouldn't mind moving it to .mac. But what happens to my email addresses?
Right now I have several email addresses like this: '[email protected]'. It is actually protected by a commercial spam filter site - this filter site polls the host (personaldomain.com) for the email, filters it and then my email client polls the spam filter server.
Can I maintain this structure and the email addresses if I move the domain to .mac?
Or perhaps I should just use the forwarding option? I would like to save the monthly fee for the hosting ISP for personaldomain.com...
I searched all the help files - couldn't find an answer (sorry if I missed it).
Thanks,
Oliver

Thanks for the two replies - I had read those pieces, but as you say, they don't specifically address what happens to email addresses that were hosted elsewhere.
If I keep my current provider and just move the website (use domain forwarding) I know I can keep my emails intact as is. This means paying for both .Mac and the other ISP.
I am guessing if I move everything to .Mac I am going to have to move the email addresses to the IMAP service from .Mac, and that may create problems with my spam filter service...
Anyone else have any experience with this?
Thanks!

Publishing to a personal domain on .Mac with iWeb08 feature?

I was wondering if anyone could answer a simple question for me. I have a a website I created on iWeb08 and I publish to .Mac. I also have my own domain registered at GoDaddy.com that we call www.mydomainexample.com for ease.
Is there a difference between having GoDaddy forward to my domain name with masking versus having using the iWeb08 feature to publish to a personal domain on .Mac?
Currently if my friends go to www.mydomainexample.com they get my website and no matter where they browse on the site the URL stays www.mydomainexample.com. Is that the same that would happen with publishing to a personal domain on .Mac through iWeb08? Or would it say (again as an example) www.mydomainexample.com/welcome or ..../album or .../blog etc?
Thanks

So basically publishing to a personal domain on .Mac would remove the portion of the URL that says it is a .Mac account?
So instead of:
http://web.mac.com/macidname/sitename/Welcome.html
If I published to a personal domain on .Mac it would read this:
http://www.mydomainexample.com/sitename/Welcome.html
So it would at least give me a little privacy and get rid of my .Mac ID in the URL I guess.
The way I have it now with forwarding and masking every page just comes up as:
http://www.mydomainexample.com
which is fine but does not allow someone to go to one of the individual pages directly, only the main page I guess
A side question would be then that I thought I heard that if you maintain 2 sites you can't publish to 2 personal domains on .Mac correct? Only one? If that is true can I publish one site to a personal domain and then leave the other forwarded and masked through my domain manager the way I have it already?
Thanks again

Remote session via RDGW fine with Windows - not possible with Mac ...?

Hi,
I've configured a fresh single RDS Server (all roles on one Server including Gateway) based on Windows Server 2012 R2. Everything works fine when we use Windows 7 with current RDP Client to connect via Gateway/HTTPS.
When we use a Mac (OS X 10.9.3) with current Version of "Microsoft Remote Desktop" (8.0.7), no RDP Connection is established. Error message: "Unable to connect to remote PC. Please verify ...". Login on <external.domain.name>/rdweb
works fine and I'm able to download the .rdp-file and open it with Microsoft Remote Desktop, but after a few seconds the error above appears.
I did some traffic analyzing on our Firewall and it seems that the Mac try to connect on port 3389 on the public ip of the RDS Server, which is blocked. I manually configured a RDP Connection with Gateway - same error. The log of Microsoft Remote Desktop:

I remember that there was an issue to establish SSO based on DNS resolve (external Domain Name to internal ip address via Gateway Connection); but we resolved this with a new DNS Zone. But why is it fine on Windows, but not on Mac OS X with Microsoft
Remote Desktop? I wondering why the MRD is not using the Gateway Connection to resolve the RDP host ... ?
Many thanks,
Erik

Replacing a windows server with a Mac server

Hi all,
So this is a big company with about 150 employees using PC's (win xp and 7), considering replacing the current Windows server with a Mac server.
Is it possible to give users profiles once they log in like Windows server does? So when the user logs in they get to their own personal stuff? Can Mac server do that?
Can the user also get to the default printer and send prints to it regardless where they log in from inside the company?
And can the home directory to each user NOT be copied anywhere on the local machine where they log in? Meaning that after they log out there will be no traces to their files on that local PC..
Thanks a lot in advance!!

By some standards, 150 is not "big" but a large small business :-)
Regardless, please plan and test and plan some more, very carefully !
The picture for what you want to do once looked far better with 10.6 server but that had its limitations as well.
With 10.6 server, Apple was using Samba - they are no longer doing so,
but/and the version of Samba they were using only provided NT-Domain level support.
So that would not work with your Win 7 stations either. But could be made to work relatively well with XP workstations. You can no longer buy any new Mac that runs 10.6 server and 10.6 server would be hard to obtain.
Not a great route to go.
Bear in mind that the key problem with Apple's Samba was that Samba changed their licensing,
and there's not a thing in the world Apple could do to implement a current version of Samba without violating their own operating principles and the licensing requirements.
You'll be heading into heavily uncharted territory here. Odds are good that any desired domain-functionality is not going to work for you.
Honestly, Apple appears to have thrown in the towel on directory-level support for Windows,
and the best way to support Windows workstations in that regard is with Windows server and AD.
Basic filesharing works, with some caveats.
If there's no AD involved at all, then have a look at my earlier post,
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3206725?start=47
Which worked a-ok for me but your mileage may vary.
Samba new current versions and GPL3 licensing issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3206725?start=75&tstart=0
"GPLv3 makes it impossible to provide signed binaries without also providing the signing keys. A few seconds of thought will reveal why Apple is unwilling to provide copies of the keys they use to sign system software. Part of locking down OS X security profile required removing anythign that used GPLv3.
Short version: GPLv3 is specifially desinged to be anti-company, and you are going to see a ever widening schism in the FSS/OSS community between GPL and all the other licenses, and you will be seeing less and less GPL code in commercial OSes and more BSD/Apache/&c code."

With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up. If not, you are having a sync problem. If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You need a USB drive to install the Windows support software. It contains all the drivers that your MacBook Pro needs, and you will have to install them after finishing the Windows installation. If you don't install them, a lot of things won't work: the wireless card, the sound card, the brightness, the trackpad gestures... Apart from that, you don't need it for anything else.
Apple has released the official steps to install Windows 8 on a Mac, so if you want, print this PDF > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

Can I use windows software on my mac?

May seem like a silly question, but when I purchased my macbook, I was told that I could reserve a portion of the harddrive to run windows software. I need to run Quickbooks Pro that I have in windows form. How do I load it onto my macbook???

Ok, several ways.
Apparently, there's a wine-like solution for Mac, so you can run windows software from within Mac OS X. Expect it to be somewhat buggy and imperfect though, and it might not run some software. It's coming out soon as far as I know. I saw in on MacRumors a while ago.
Then there's the Apple solution called Boot Camp. What it does is just allow you to dual boot. It means you will actually be running windows on the machine.
And then a new user favorite, is using machine emulation, it emulates a second machine inside the current machine allowing you to run Windows inside Mac OS X. It's very memory-hungry, though, and somewhat slower usually. Look into Parallels and QEMU.

Transferring Playlists From A Windows Computer to a Mac (with an IPod???)

I recently switched from a Windows computer to a Mac and the folk at the Apple Store copied my documents and music files to the new Mac. All of my music that I had on ITunes on the Windows computer was transferred, including all the purchased music. The only thing that wasn't transferred were my extensive playlists, which I've spent years creating. I figured I could do it with my IPod and I was about to synch my IPod with the new Mac, when I saw the message advising me that everything on the IPod would be erased including, presumably, the existing playlists. Now, I realize I could simply print out what's on the playlists from my old Windows computer and manually recreate the playlists, but that would be a laborious pain in the butt. There's gotta be a simpler way but so far so one seems to be able to tell me what it is. A few people have told me there's no way to do it, but I have to believe there's a way because it would be foolish and dumb for there not to be. Any ideas? Thanks.

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and clone playlists from an iPod. You could start your research with the three below, I believe they can all copy playlists and other data. If you search the web I'm sure you'll find others:
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

Parallels: transferring info from a Windows program to a Mac program

I've been devoted to a Mac for a few years now, but I recently had to switch back to Windows because of its far superior voice recognition software. (I was recently disabled, and now rely on voice recognition to type.)
If I were to buy a new Mac and use my Dragon NaturallySpeaking professional software (the Windows voice recognition program) via Parallels, does anyone know if I would be able to use that to type in a Macintosh program? I understand that I could stay within the virtual Windows platform or do separate tasks on the Mac platform, but I'm not sure if I would be able to transfer the information gathered by the Windows program into a Mac program.
If I'm able to do this, it would mean I could finally switch back to a Mac. Thanks in advance!

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX? I'm having SO much trouble with this! Any help would be appreciated!!!

In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.
