Google Apps with Mac OS X Server configured clients?

Hi experts,
I'm considering a Mac Mini Server for file sharing and running as a server for a custom office application (MacPractice), but I'm uncertain how this would work with Google Apps that we're using today.
Specifically, we have a few iMacs that I'd like to allow any user to log into and have them auto-configured to use google apps in Mail and iCal. From the reading I've done, I think I can do this using the Preference Editor in Workgroup Manager.
My questions are:
1. Can anyone confirm that Mail and iCal can be configured using Preference Editor?
2. Also, I'm assuming I'll have to do a separate config setup for each user since their usernames on Google Apps are all different. Correct?
3. Finally, will the user's password for Google Apps in... say Mail... be stored locally on each iMac? i.e. Will they have to re-entre the password every time they log into a different iMac? Or can this be accomplished with a network based home directory (something I really don't want to do).
Thanks gurus!

Hello ToadRuby,
It sounds like you need to upgrade your operating system
Mac OS X 10.6 is a software upgrade and is available from the Apple Store here:

Hi,
For portability issues always develop applications using sun implementation which can be configured for any vendor application servers.
Web services developed with jwsdp will work in webloigc 8.1 simply, take the examples from sun and simply deploy it in weblogic 8.1 it will work like gem with simple settings.
Just change the libraries with jwsdp ones.Place the
jwsdp lib.How to do this is ; place all these jars in the classpath before the exisiting classpath configuration.
Classpath=jwsdplibs;......
This is enough for deploying the webservice server side.
For using the client you have to change the default soap libraries used by weblogic with sun jar files.
See example from bea for client implementation.override the system property.

Share DVD-RW with mac os x server 10.4.7

Hello,
i've an iBook G3 with Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 installed and a LaCie DVD-RW attached. Is it possible to share and mount the DVD drive through internet and burn data that i've on a PowerBook G4 connected to the same network, with Toast or iTunes?
thank you
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) the last one PowerBook, 1 Go RAM

Hi
Personally I do not have mush experience with netboot
The 10.4.7 DVD you purchased is possibly the Intel version of OS X Server?
I would run the combo updater to bring your 10.4.0 version up to the latest and then see if netboot works
You can download the updater from here-
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxserver10410comboupdateuniversal.htm l
Edit-
Whoops you will need the 10.4.7 combo update first before using the above updater, get it here-

Implementing Google ForceSafeSearch on Mac OS X Server

I'm trying to implement Google Safe Search — per Option 3 at this article: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/186669 — on our Mac OS X Server.
In other words, I'm trying to force Safe Search via DNS by creating a CNAME alias to "forcesafesearch.google.com" for www.google.com and the www.google.x country domains (I've also tried an A record instead).
I ran into problems when attempting to enable this for www.google.com in particular. I cannot find any Google documentation on how to properly implement this CNAME alias (or A/"Machine" record) for Mac servers.
What do I need to put in for "Nameservers" as seen in the attached screenshot? I cannot leave it blank. I've tried ns1.google.com through ns4, but obviously that doesn't do any good for google.com itself. In the attached screenshot you can see that my latest attempt was to try the IPs of ns1.google.com through ns4 (for now just testing with a Google country domain, google.ad, so it won't mess anything up with the main Google site). However, when I tried these settings briefly for www.google.com it blocked accounts.google.com — and obviously we need that to work for logging into Google services! Google.com has a lot of subdomains so it's not feasible to try to implement this for all of them (not to mention that I'm not sure that would work, anyway). Again, I cannot leave out Nameserver Hostnames because the configuration cannot be saved if one attempts to do so.
What's the proper way to configure Nameservers as seen in the attached screenshot to enable Safe Search via DNS while still enabling other subdomains of Google.com to work properly, e.g. images.google.com and accounts.google.com? I've read that this can also be done for YouTube.com: http://www.solidborder.com/2014/12/google-dns-safe-search-enforcement/ (alas, instructions are for a Windows server).

OS X Server uses BIND (Mavericks Server Admin: Overview of DNS setup) . So you should be able to edit the BIND configuration file.
I have the following set in named.conf:
include "/etc/named.conf.local";
In named.conf.local:
zone "rpz.zone" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/rpz.zone";
        allow-query {any;};
        allow-update {none;};
In rpz.zone:
www.google.com CNAME   forcesafesearch.google.com.
When I do an nslookup from workstations through the DNS server, I get the proper response:
nslookup www.google.com
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: forcesafesearch.google.com
Address: 216.239.38.120
Aliases: www.google.com
This article should help:

Dell PowerVault MD1000 with Mac OS X Server 10.5 (mac pro with fiber connec

Hey Guys. Its time that i add a bulk amount of storage to our mac network.
Currently Our network consists of one mac server which is a Mac Pro with Mac OSX Server 10.5 installed on it with 4 x 750GB Hard Drives with a couple of client machines. I now need to add atleast another 6TB to the network. This needs to be seen as the server as one drive so that 6TB needs to be raid prosume (raid 5)
Now in the Mac Pro server we have a Fibre Card that we dont currently use with 2 slots. My Plan is to buy a Dell PowerVault™ MD1000 (http://configure.euro.dell.com/dells...ulmd1000sata) and put in the amount of hard drives i require into the Dell Storage.
Would this work. If i bought the Dell PowerVault™ MD1000, would i beable to hook this upto the mac server and use it as a storage drive? Although i do no networking. Im still very new to this.
Ideally im looking for something similar to an Xserve Raid, but with out the Apple price tag on the outside if you guys no what i mean.
Best,
Nathaniel

You would at least need a SAS/SATA controller - preferably a hardware RAID one, much like the one bundled with this unit - but it also needs to be OS X compatible.
I would look for something that is known to work, not something you "cobble" together.
The FibreChannel card does you no good if you haven't got a device with FC ports.

LDAP and NFS mounts/setup OSX Lion iMac with Mac Mini Lion Server

Hello all,
I have a local account on my iMac (Lion), and I also have a Mac Mini (Lion Server) and I want to use LDAP and NFS to mount the /Users directory, but am having trouble.
We have a comination of Linux (Ubuntu), Windows 7 and Macs on this network using LDAP and NFS, except the windows computers.
We have created users in workgroup management on the server, and we have it working on a few Macs already, but I wasnt there to see that process.
Is there a way to keep my local account separate, and still have NFS access to /Users on the server and LDAP for authentification?
Thanks,
-Matt

It would make a great server. Bonus over Apple TV for example is that you have access via both wired ethernet and wireless. Plus if you load tools from XBMC, Firecore and others you have a significant media server. Cost is right too.
Many people are doing this - google mac mini media server or other for more info.
Total downside to any windows based system - dealing with constant anti-virus, major security hassels, lack of true media integration and PITA to update, etc.
You should be aware that Lion Server is not ready for prime time - it stil has significant issues if you are migrating from SNL 10.6.8. If you buy an apple fresh Lion Server mac mini you should have no problems.
You'll probably be pleased.

Best practice to host websites on xserve with mac os x server leopard.

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to optimize the xserve to host multiple joomla sites...
Can some one help me with "hidden manuals or using your experience" about best practices out there...!!

Erm, Joomla site hosting 'just works' with Leopard Server site virtualisation and the built in mysql.
If you want the best practice try Mac OS X Server Essentials Second Edition which has chapters about setting up multiple web sites.

Can't see volumes with Mac os x server install

I'm having a problem installing MAC OS X Server on a RAIDed MAC PRO (3 drives @ RAID 5: Here are the steps that I have done so far with no luck: created a RAID level 5 with RAID utility from CLIENT OS install cd that came with mac pro. Created one giant volume with the entire contents of disk space on the RAID with the CLIENT OS install cd/RAID utility also. Rebooted, the MAC PRO, ejected the CLIENT OS cd, inserted MAC OS X server install CD. When I get to the screen where I choose my volume to install the OS on, I can't see any volumes. I was told by Apple and CDW (reseller) to go to disk utility and do an ERASE on the volumes, that should format the drive and should be seen by the OS X Server install. It didn't work. It's interesting that I can install the normal client OS after creating my RAID, Volumes, etc... But the OS X Server install DVD doesn't see the volumes during the install process, OR using disk utility from the OSX server install disk, but disk utility on the MAC OS X client CD sees it fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Does Apple support their RAID card in Mac Pro using Server? or does Server need to be updated? Minimum requirements for Mac Pro RAID card is 10.4.10.
You could try the cheat method: install everything on a single drive and clone it and see if it works.
From a discussion yesterday or Monday, only Apple drivers are supported on the Mac Pro (firmware?) and not 3rd party retail drives (a bummer) so you've got nearly $2000.

How to spare my HD with Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard?

Hi there,
I just got my iMac few days ago. I have install Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard problem.
Its any could teach me how can I spare my Hard Drive to show 2 in my desktop, one will be Application App & another will be Storage..
Its "Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard"(computer version) can only use on new mac??

Ohhh... Okay... You want to partition your hard drive.
Instructions can be found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61301
You must do this while booted from the OS X install DVD and choosing Disk Utility from the Utilties menu. Also be aware that you must back your data prior to changing the partition scheme, as it will reformat the hard drive.

Problems with Mac OS X Server and webperfcache...

I'm running Mac OS X server 10.4.11 and I'm trying to get mod_rewrite to work (thus far unsuccessfully). As part of my debugging strategy I want to turn everything around apache off and start pulling things apart to see if I can get them to make sense. When I turn the web performance cache off on all my sites using the site administration utility, apache gets a bus error when it attempts to restart. When I turn web performance caching back on, apache continues to get a bus error. Reboots, et al. don't clear up the problem and all I can do is go back to my system backup and bring up the previous day's version, which I can currently live with.
Has anybody seen this before? Alternatively, has anybody had problems getting mod_rewrite to work and can give some advice. I'm doing pretty much everything that works on other U*x based systems and has worked before, but the lack of control over the ports used by the web sites on my system is problematic and I would, at the very least, like to be able to turn off webperfcache.
Thanks in advance,
Dick Munroe

I am actually going to be doing almost exactly the same thing in the next 1-2 weeks. My plan is to make the OS X server a BDC on the domain, then promote it to PDC and retire the Windows Server 2k3 PDC.
I have 1 Win2k3 PDC and 1 Win2k3 (64-bit) Terminal Server. My main worry is whether the PDC is handling the licence CALs for the TS.... if it is, that will interfere with the plan.
Email me and let's discuss this off-line.
Thanks,

Issues with Mac OS X Server 10.4.8 and Windows File sharing

We are having lots of issues with our SMB share on Mac OS X Server 10.4.8. The main issues are the following:
- Group ACLs seem to not work properly, and I have had to add dozens of manual permissions on a per-user basis
- Often, users open a file in read-only mode, without any reason, and can't modify it
- Often, users open a file with full write access, but then cannot save it and have to use a "save as function".
After having looked all over the Internet and on the Apple's discussions forum, it seems like this issue has been around for quite some time now:
http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?forumID=702&threadID=&q=smbANDpermissions&objID=f702&dateRange=thisyear&userID=&numResults=15&rankBy=10001
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1546867&#1546867
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=647251
And no real answer/solution has been provided by Apple yet.
I also looked on Samba related pages, and it seems like these issues were Samba related (both ACL/OpenLDAP and Microsoft Office file handling issues), and the current version of Samba (3.0.23c) seem to have solved lots of issues in these areas:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.23c.html
Apple ships Samba 3.0.10 (16 Dec 2004) with 10.4.8, which makes the shipping version at list 15 versions (and 18 months) behind the current Samba release (30 Aug 2006).
People within the company are obviously quite unhappy with the situation and beyond me looking like a fool for migrating from Windows Server to OS X, I now need to find a solution to the issues.
I would like to know what is the official and Apple recommended way to solve this issue.
Kind regards,
Pejvan
It seems like Apple is totally ignoring the issues, users are facing with SMB shares, while their emphasize as a selling point how OS X Server is a great "windows file" server.

Hiya
Thanks for the reply.
>Is there a UPS involved?
I wish there had been. I might not be having to deal with it now! :-)
>If you boot from the Install Disc & use System Profiler there, does the Same RAM situation? Did you physically >check those slots? Thinking maybe the OS is kicking them out on bootup?
I've had the following suggested to me on another forum - "My guess on the RAM error is this. You have a processor that wants the RAM to be dual channeled and since it reads both A slot are populated it wants both B slots to be populated. Remove A2 and put it in B1"
But unless it is degrading performance I'll probably just leave it.
> Still can't get it to boot from the Clone holding the Option/alt key at bootup?
I can get it to boot from the Clone using the option key but it's a pretty random event. I can try for ages and then suddenly it'll work. Or it may work first time. It does seems to work more easily after a PRAM zap. The funny thing is that once it is booted up it will re-start in any way I want it to (the boot volume, the clone, a disk, single user mode etc). It is just hard to boot from a full shutdown.
I'm thinking that if I ca get the start-up issue fixed then I can fix the RAID issue at my leisure and even add the hard-drive that the clone is currently on to the RAID array.
Thanks again.

Help Please with Mac OS X Server v10.5 Install

I am currently running my everyday computer 2.6GHZ MacBook Pro on my wireless network I want to install the Mac OS X Server V10.5 standard install but I keep getting a message stating I need to have the computer plugged in to the ethernet cable??? I want to do this wirelessly I only need the basic install so I can learn how to use the server - Can anyone help me in getting this set up with out having to plug it in...I use an airport extreme and have a wireless network set up already - I really could use some help Thanks

Just plug in an ethernet cable during the installation process. One of the requirements of server is access to primary ethernet as a common installation is performed headless. The only way to "ensure" network access is with ethernet as there are commonly no requirements other than plugging in a cable. Wireless most often requires authentication or at least selection of the desired wireless network.
Just get a patch cable and use it for the install. Once you have the install complete, set primary network to the wireless port and then disconnect the cable.
Hope this helps
