Files an folders have wrong user rights on OS X Server with 10.5.6

Hi there, since updating to 10.5.6 we have a strange behaviour in our network. All Leopard clients are not able to search on our network volumes (OS X Server 10.4.11). The user rights are owner: admin; everyone: read only
All groups and users which are defined in the server management where not shown. The rights on all machines which are working under Tiger show the correct rights.
Any ideas?

It's next to impossible to fully merge two accounts on a Mac easily.
This being said, though, please take a look at "The Great Pondini's" site where this specific issue is addressed. There should be information here you can use to get things sorted out.

.HTML and .DWT files in folders have 0kb size

Hey guys,
I was just setting up a new client on the system and I have an issue with uploading HTML and DWT files through Dreamweaver. The files end up on the server but each is a 0kb file. Here are my steps:
In Partner Portal I created a new site
I chose to start with a blank slate/template
I logged in via Dreamweaver CS5's BC Extension as I normally do and set the local directory of the project
I was moving a static HTML site over to this site so the design and files were done already. So once the project was setup in DW I selected all the files in the project folder and uploaded them to the remote site via the Files panel in DW.
The upload completed and did not note any errors or problems.
I logged into the BC Admin and went to update some URLs of the pages and I noticed the first .html file in a folder had 0kb.
I noticed that this problem only occurred in files that are uploaded to a folder. IE- I had a folder called "contact" and a file index.html inside. I uploaded this folder and the rest via the Files panel in DW. I DID NOT create the folders through BC first. The same thing happens with .DWT files too. Although, in this case, since I had a "Templates" directory locally and I'm assuming one was created by BC on the remote host when I created the account it's probably not having to do with users creating folders through FTP/Files panel in DW.
The .html files in the root of the site are fine. All my JS and CSS files in their folders are also fine. It just seems to be .HTML and .DWT files in folders that have 0kb.
Has anyone seen this?
I have to get this site live in a rush tomorrow so I'm either going to delete the folders via FTP and create all the pages/folder first in BC and copy and paste the code over from DW to BC Admin area manually. I'm not excited about doing that as it will add hours onto this site when moving a static site over should be pretty quick. Now I have to create all the pages and templates manually.

I can now confirm that the problem is related to DW or the DW FTP login session. I used WinSCP to FTP my files up and they went up fine.

User Rights Delegation via Powershell (Server 2012)

Hi
In the Exam Ref 70-414 book the author refers the the following powershell cmdlets in server 2012 to assign /delegate user rights by using the constant names.
The cmdlets;
Get-privilege
Grant-privilege
Revoke-privilege
Test-privilege
I am not sure if i'm missing something blatantly, but i seem not to find any information or syntax on this, even after updating powershell help, it doesn't recognize the cmdlets.
Any help will be appreciated.

Here this will tide you over:
PS C:\scripts> function Get-Privileges{whoami /priv /fo csv|Out-String|convertFrom-Csv}
PS C:\scripts> Get-Privileges
Privilege Name Description State
SeShutdownPrivilege Shut down the system Disabled
SeChangeNotifyPrivilege Bypass traverse checking Enabled
SeUndockPrivilege Remove computer from docking station Disabled
SeIncreaseWorkingSetPrivilege Increase a process working set Disabled
SeTimeZonePrivilege Change the time zone Disabled
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How can you run a command with elevated rights on a remote server with invoke-command ?

I am trying to run a script on a remote server with invoke-command. The script is starting and is running fine, but the problem is that it should be running with elevated rights on the remote server. On the server where I start the invoke-command, my account has the necessary rights.
The server were I launch the invoke-command is a W2K8 R2. The remote box is a W2K3 with powershell v2.0 installed.
When I launch the script on the remote-box from the command line, I don't get the access denied's.
Is there a way to do this ?
Thanks in advance

The script that I want to run is to install the windows updates. I get an access denied on the download of the updates.
When I execute the script on an W2K8 box, (not remotely) and I run it with non-elevated rights, I get the same error.
The script is running fine when it is launched on W2K3 box locally with a domain account that has local admin rights, or on a W2K8 R2 server with a domain account that has local admin rights, but with elevated rights.
Thanks in advance for your help.

File creation dates have wrong format

My wife's older iMac, running 10.2.8, has recently developed a problem with file dates (though I don't know when this actually began). Perhaps as many as half of the files, at any directory level, have time stamps in this format:
x:yyy:22, where x appears to be an hour indicator, yyy I don't know, and 22 terminates every time stamp of this form. Other files have normal time stamps.
What can we do to get her back to normal?
TIA,
Scott

Hi, are you seeing any other oddities? If so, it may be your system battery. If not, I'd check the Date and Time settings in the System Preferences. If none of those help, then it may be a squirrley UNIX problem.

Block and Unblock the .zip and .rar files based on doamin or user account base on incoming mails with ironport email security.

Hi All,
Request you all to help me out in blocking/dropping only the attachments with the extension .rar and .zip in incoming mails for particular users or domains.
as of now I have did for all the domains or users.However, I want to unblock it only for some particular/specific users and for rest it should block.
kindly help me with the steps to do the configuration.
Thanks a ton in advance
Regards,
LRN

It sounds like you just need to use different incoming mail policies per group of individuals you want to block/drop .rar and .zip and those which you don't want this to happen.
The fact that you want a specific group to be allowed receipt of these and everyone else should have these blocked I would recommend creating an additional incoming mail policy that does NOT have a content filter that performs this blocking. Add the appropriate users to this incoming mail policy. Then create a incoming content filter that does this dropping of .rar and .zip files and apply this to the Default Incoming Mail Policy.
The content filter in this situation would not need a condition, just a action of strip attachments by file info , filename contains .rar or .zip
Here is a useful regex for the content filter action: (?i)\.(zip|rar)
Hope this helps!

Installing SQL server with local Admin rights

Dear DB experts
I have a concern about installing SQL server 2000 on win 2003 with out local admin rights
I have delegated local admin rights to a Domain user. that user can install and configure SQL with out any issues or its is a must to install SQL using local administrator account pls advise.
Regards
Rabbani

Hi Syed_R,
SQL Server 2000 was out of support in SQL Server Forums since April,2013. You can install SQL Server 2005 or later version and more experts will assist you.
As other post, the user that runs the SQL Server installer must have Admin rights on the server when installing. For local installations, you must run Setup as an administrator. If you install SQL Server from a remote share, you must use a domain account
that has read and execute permissions on the remote share.
In addition, in preparation for setting up Microsoft SQL Server on this system, you add the Setup account to the local administrators group, also the Setup account need to have certain user rights for avoiding SQL Server installation fails. Such as Local
Policy Object Display Name, Backup files and directories and so on.
For more information, you can review the following article.

Files and folders becoming read-only

Lots of my files and folders have become read-only after
downloading Eclipse (I have used the Europa version as I needed to
also download CFEclipse as well to program in ColdFusion) and Adobe
ColdFusion. When you right-click and go to properties, the
read-only button is highlighted, so I have clicked this off, but it
reappears when you right-click and look at it again.
Does anybody know what has caused this and how I can fix
this?

Hi,
After opening your eclipse,
Hit alt+shift+w and click "Navigator"
and then select your project folder -> right click it,
Go to properties and turn off read only.

I am having trouble deleting files and folders after creating in the same .VI

I have a larger .VI that runs an automated balancing routine for a large rotating mass. The test needs to create some folders and files so that as the rest is run multiple times, there is a way to track how units did under test and when they were tested.
The attached .VI is only the portion of the code that creates the files and folders, waits for user input, and then deletes them if the test is cancelled before data is collected. There are other elements, but they are irrelevant given that I can't even get the stripped down code to work. I have checked the permissions on the deepest file (within both folders) and I am unable to get 777(oct) permissions on this file which could be the only problem I have. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Attachments:
test1.vi ‏47 KB

Here are a couple of things:
Frame 0: the pane properties are saved with the file, so once they are set you never need to set them again. Delete the property node and associated constants.
Frame 1:
Shouldn't "Serial#" be a control (and an integer)? You do a complex song and dance to add leading zeroes. Simply format your serial number with format "%04d"
Shouldn't "Operator" be a control?
Frame 2: That loop needs a small wait statement. Since STOP is always true when the loop ends, the later case structure seems unneeded.
Frame 3:
the STOP function seems unneeded. the VI will stop anyway since there is no code left.
never use default tunnels for references.
All your error outputs are "disconnected" and write to the same indicator. Mist likely you'll loose intermediary errors.
Overall, you should use a state machine architecture instead of sequences. It will be much more flexible and will take even less diagram space. The indicators can be outside the state case, so all states can write to them. No locals needed.

How can I share a Tiger server's User database to a Panther server?

I need some help to set this up. Keep in mind I do not have a DNS server.
I have a Tiger server with Xserve and an older Panther server, both on the same local network. I have a whole bunch of users setup on the Tiger server. The Panther server does not have any users setup on it. I do not want to have to type in all the users all over again in the Panther server. What I'd like to be able to do is somehow share and syncronize the user database on the Tiger server with the Panther server.
I looked into the Open Directory settings but I do not understand what to do. How do I configure the Tiger and Panther servers respectively so the Panther server can sync with the Tiger server's users database. Is this possible? It seems like it with Open Directory, one being the Open Directory Master and the other being the Open Directory Replica? But I just don't understand how to set this up. Also the Panther OD settings seem quite different than Tiger's in Open Directory.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
It may be best to set up your 10.4 Server as an Open Directory Master first and then use Directory Access on your 10.3 Server to connect to the Tiger Server so as it can use the same User Database. This should be possible. OD Master/Replica relationships are not possible if the OS versions are different, even if the Master was 10.4.11 and the Replica was 10.4.10. You have no chance when its 10.4 and 10.3.
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/OpenDirectory_Adminv10.5.pdf
The link is for 10.5 but the basics are the same. This is a recent post that describes how to set up an OD Master:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1377046&tstart=0
I'm guessing that your 10.4 Server is Standalone and is serving simple file services only (AFP and possibly SMB/Windows). If this is the case (and I can't see how it can't be) then your users will be in the local NetInfo node. This will be the default node that is presented to you in WorkGroup Manager. You always get a warning that your are working in an invisible node (if you have not disabled this) when working in the Server's local node. Don't worry there is nothing wrong with the warning. WorkGroup Manager on Panther (10.3) Server works the same way.
You could if you wanted to simply export the Users and Groups from WGM in 10.4 and import them into WGM on 10.3. This should save you having to key them all in again. If the prospect of configuring internal DNS Services and all that goes with it seems to much for you then this is probably the simplest option. How do you do this? Launch WGM (its the same for both versions), select the Server Menu and select Export after first selecting desired users. Do the same for Groups. Use the same procedure in reverse. The Users and Groups files are not very big and can easily be transferred using a memory stick etc.
There are differences between the two versions which are mostly to do with Server Admin. In 10.4 Server there are more services. One of the Services will be Open Directory. In 10.4 Open Directory will only show a green light by the side of the service if it is in any role other than Standalone. Server Admin on 10.3 Server will always show the green light by the side of the Open Directory Service. This does not mean that it is an OD Master, you have to click on Settings and inspect the Role to see what it actually is.
You should be able to connect to a 10.3 Server with 10.4's Admin tools but don't be tempted to use Server Admin to configure/change anything on the 10.3 Server. You should not be able to go the other way 10.3 > 10.4 using the same tools.
Internal DNS Services are a requirement for LDAP Services (and pretty much everything else) on Servers generally, although for simple file services not absolutely necessary. Internal DNS Services do not have to be configured on the Server itself just as long as they are configured on another server, for example, on the same network. If these are the only two servers on the network then you will have to configure DNS Services on either one or both of them depending on what you want.
Not available on your 10.3 Server but is on your 10.4 Server are Access Control Lists (ACLs). This is a permissions model that is in addition to the standard POSIX permissions. Think carefully about how you provide permissions to your network clients if there is a mix of client OS, 10.3, 10.4 etc.
Hope this helps, Tony

Mystery Folders Being Created by Numbers (and Pages) on Server

Gentleones,
I'm running a Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 installation with multiple 10.9.1 clients. All clients are using iWork v. Latest and were all updated from 10.x and iWork '09. to get here.
When opening and then saving a Numbers (or Pages) document on the server, a folder with the same name as the original appears on the server. The contents look suspiciously like a bundle or package with the guts of the document in the folder.
The original document also gets modified when the document is saved.
Deleting the folder does not seem to affect the original document in any way.
It does this with alarming consistency.
Today, it exhibited a new behavior: a second document appeared with the same name. Though I wasn't able to see it on the server, several of the clients showed this second copy of the document. Others did not.
I have repaired permissions on the server and have ensured that all of the files and folders have "Read & Write" permissions for the root share point for "This folder, child folders, child files, all descendants". That I can tell, it's not a permission problem as each user can delete the mystery folder when it appears.
However, that said, I do have multiple users logging into the server using one username across several clients. That shouldn't cause a problem.
Users do not access the files in question at the same time.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill

Same problem here. Im running an OS X Mav Server 3.0.2 with shared folders over AFP. But for me it is not consistent at all. Sometimes it creates a "mystery folder" and sometimes not. It only happening with the iWork apps tho.
The other problem you were mentioning with duplicate folders in the client finder, but in server terminal (ssh) theres only 1 file, happened to me, but only 1 time.
I always thought it was related to autosave feature of iWork/os x, or file versions. I have turned of autosave on clients and server but problem still persist.
Could it be related to versions? I dont know for sure how to disable versions in the iWork apps, but it shouldnt be neccecary FFS.

Files or folders created by one user show as read only for others

We are using Server version 3.2.2, we have a group call production and then we have 9 users plus the administrator account. All users are assigned to the production group. We have a single share called customers and the group "production" has read and write permissions for the share and also for all the underlying folders and files.
Each user logs onto the share with their own username and password. But, when a user creates a new file or folder on the server within the "customers" share, they are assigned read and write permissions and everyone else is assigned "no access".
We then go into the folder on the server and assign the group "production" read and write access and life goes on, but the issue is that we should not have to.
From this description, can anyone tell me what we are doing wrong?

In the sidebar of the Server.app window, select the icon at the top with the name of the server. Then select the Storage tab in the main window pane.
Navigate to the folder in question and select it. From the popup menu at the bottom with a gear icon, select
Edit Permissions...
Verify that the permissions are what they should be, and make changes if necessary. Then, from the same menu, select
Propagate Permissions...
Check all applicable boxes, including Access Control List. If in doubt, check all boxes. Click OK.
