How do Snow Leopard iCal Clients access a Leopard iCal Server?

Could someone please explain how to set up Snow Leopard clients to a Leopard Server. And if it is possible. Thank You.

Greetings, Jamil.
Could someone please explain how to set up Snow Leopard clients to a Leopard Server.
Sure. Pretty straight forward if you are the client (server setup is another matter and would not be addressed in this forum).
Option #1 -- Assuming the clients are to have read /write access to the calendars:
Go to the Help menu in iCal and type in "CalDAV". You will see this as a result: Setting up a CalDAV account in iCal
You can read the article here as well which details how to add a CalDAV account to iCal: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iCal/3.0/en/15563.html
All you need are the CalDAV settings from your 10.6 Server running CalDAV (iCal server). You would get those from whomever setup/manages the 10.6 server.
__Usually consists of a user name / account name and password.
If they don't know how to find those settings they can visit the Mac OS X Server forum: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=96
Option # 2 -- Assuming the clients have read only access (calendar subscription):
Go to the Help menu in iCal and type in "Subscribe". You will see this as a result: Subscribing to calendars
You can read the article here as well which details how to subscribe to a published calendar: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iCal/4.0/en/9869.html
Hope that helps.

How do I install user client access licence on Windows Server 2012

I have recently setup a Windows Server 2012 Std. I have not configured any roles yet. The server licence has been installed and activated successfully. How do I get my Windows Server CAL 2012 ( tracking ID is 15 digits) onto the server. I have google
but did not get the correct result. The closest I found was
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc540509(v=ws.10).aspx.
I am not too familiar with the Server 2012 display so I am not certain if I am missing something. If the CALs are not captured on the server, will this restrict user access to the 2012 server?
I thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi,
I’m glad to hear that you have found the thread as reference. As DonPick mentioned, since these are Windows Server CALs, there is no activation nor input of any kind needed. You bought the
CALs, you have the paper, you are now licensed, there is no configuration step necessary. If there is anything else I can do for you, please do not hesitate to let me know. I will be very happy to help.

I have not upgraded to Mountain Lion yet, have 3 major apps (acrobatpro) and adobe image ready, and apple works that is not compatible, does anyone know how long snow leopard will be supported. Don't want to upgrade until I purchase new iMac next year.

Consider running your Adobe and AppleWorks software in Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed in Parallels in Lion or Mt. Lion:

How can I edit iCal server addresses in Mountain Lion? I keep getting an error with regards to my google calendar and I understand that the way to fix the problem is adjust the server address, but I cannot access it because the preferences are restrictive

How can I edit iCal server addresses in Mountain Lion?
I keep getting an error message with my google calendar, and I heard that if I delete the extra slash at the end of the address the problem will be fixed. But the iCal account preferences take me to system preferences > accounts every time I want to edit the account.
Does anyone know where I can edit the server address?

Snow Leopard X Server

Can the Snow Leopard X Server be installed on a iMac, and then a user use the same iMac for their own use without using any of the server os. Also, will a MacBook Pro connect and work to the network.
I ahve a small company and want to connect a MacBook Pro and use an iMac as a pc and also as a server to gain the benefits of push e-mail, calendar, etc.

I really wanted to use the server for sharing files
As mentioned, unless you're going to have more than 10 people connecting to the machine at one time, you don't need the server... normal Mac OS X is basically a pretty powerful server, just not as full-featured one as Mac OS X Server. File sharing is pretty easy.
security
Not sure what you mean there.
push e-mail
Unless this is in-house e-mail only, you are potentially getting into a major can of worms and a lot of complexity trying to supply your own e-mail server. You'll have to ensure that your server has a static IP address (which costs money) and can be accessed from outside your local intranet (which may require changing your networking hardware), and you'll have to make sure it's always running (which may require buying monitoring software and hiring someone to be on-call to come fix the server any time it has a problem). You'd be better off getting e-mail accounts with your ISP. For example, my wife's small business has a web hosting account that comes with up to 400 (IIRC) e-mail addresses, all for $10/month.

What type of calendar functionality? What specific functionality do you need?

Tiger clients having difficulties accessing Snow Leopard update server

Greetings! I have about 500 Macs in my network, running Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard. I just installed a transparent Snow Leopard (Mac mini, 10.6.7) software update server. The update server sits within my network, with my internal DNS server directing all requests to it. The update server uses an external DNS server, so it is able to access the Apple server without any issues and download the updates. Leopard and Snow Leopard clients are able to access it with no issues and download updates.
My Tiger clients, however, are not. When a Tiger client tries to access the update server through Software Update, it displays the message "A networking error has occurred: Error NSURLErrorDomain - 1100 (-1100). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again." I tested this on about a half dozen Macs on different VLANs, including one set up on the same VLAN as the server. Several things: 1) the Tiger clients CAN access the network, network resources, and browse to the software update server's index.sucatalog file using a browser; and 2) the update server has no log entry indicating a connection was attempted by the Tiger client. (It does, however, show plenty of activity by Leopard and Snow Leopard clients.)
If I enter the following command on one of my Tiger clients, it CAN access the update server:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://swscan.apple.com:8088/index.sucatalog"
And the update server posts a log entry acknowledging the access. However, I get a message on the client that the software is up to date. The software is not. I tried to update a PowerPC G4 with a fresh installation of 10.4, and I KNOW it needs updating! I copied and enabled all update packages to my server, and I have seen the necessary updates in the list. My clients are unmanaged.
So, after a morning of testing, trial, error, and digging around log files, I've concluded the following:
1. My software update server is not automatically redirecting Tiger clients appropriately (the network error message)
2. The server's index.sucatalog either does not contain the updates list for Tiger clients, or the Tiger clients are not processing it correctly.
So, my questions are, what do I need to do on my server to redirect the Tiger clients appropriately (because it totally defeats the whole purpose of networking to touch every client and change the software updates .plist file), and what file do Tiger clients need to be directed to to get the appropriate updates list? I've looked at the swupd.conf file; it does not have a redirect for Tiger clients, so I added one (directing it to index.sucatalog), but it did not make any difference.
At this point, I am perplexed. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have read the Mac OS X Server System Imaging & Software Update Administration Version 10.6 Snow Leopard manual, and it was not helpful. I've also searched extensively on Google and found little helpful information.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Searching on the net brought me to the same solution that Mr. Hoffman found as well, I was a bit skeptical at first but since he recommended it, and all my other attempts failed, it was a last resort and I have some additional notes of my own for a successful solution. Read the two links below first before doing anything, as they contribute to the solution in tandem.

Can you Netboot Client 10.6.6 Snow Leopard to Server 10.4.11 tiger???

I have gathered an image of Snow leopard using SIU 10.4 with no problems. I have also created a new install image and new boot image with the gathered snow leopard dmg, but I am unable to netboot to the tiger server from snow leopard. I was wondering if this was possible?
Thanks

You can host a 10.6.x image from a 10.4 server, but you will not be able to create a valid 10.6 image using the 10.4 tools.

Replace Snow Leopard Server OS on Mini Server with Snow Leopard non-Server?

I have a Mid-2010 Mini Server which came preinstalled with Snow Leopard Server. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with attempting to replace the OS-X Server software with OS-X non-Server in order to run Parallels for the Desktop. If this worked, then one should be able to re-install the OS-X Server software as a client using Parallels. Parallels states that it supports OS-X Server as a client, but the real question is whether one can install the OS-X (non-server) on a Mini which came with the OS-X Server software installed.

Hi
Your problem is going to be finding a Client OS that will actually boot and install on the MacMini:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159
According to MacTracker the build version of OSX Server 10.6.3 shipping with the MacMini Servers is 10D2235. It may work if you have a comparable client that's fully updated to 10.6.4. One way of finding out is to target disk mode an appropriately updated mac to the MacMini Server. If you can, select the System on that unit as the Startup Disk and see if it boots and works successfully with no kernel panics.

Install snow leopard over server.

I have an old MacBook Pro I installed the trial of Mac OS X server on. I just wanted to see how it worked, and decide if I wanted to purchase it. I have decided now to re-install leopard on this machine but it give mr an error saying I cannot install over the server OS..
What do I need to do to be able to Install Leopard?
Thanks
Matthew

After you reach the point in the install process where you select a destination, select the destination then click on the Options button. Select Erase and Install option, click on the OK button, then continue with the installation.
FWIW, this is the Snow Leopard forum, not the Leopard forum. If you are reinstalling Snow Leopard and simply misstated, then use Disk Utility to format the destination drive before installing OS X.

IMAP emails disappearing from Snow Leopard Mail Server

I run IT for a publishing company with about 75 IMAP accounts on my 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Server running mail services. I received a call two days ago from a user claiming that his 7000 mails have vanished from his mail application. When I checked his account through webmail all his emails were gone yet none were in the deleted mail mailbox. Being daring I went into my backups and copied all of the that user's email for the following location from the server backup /private/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail. Once I put the mail back everything seemed great but shortly after the emails began disappearing again. At a rate of about 100 every few minutes. Not much later all 7000 emails were gone again. I repeated this procedure several times with the same result. I since have had him access as a POP account so that as a temporary fix the email would reside on his Mac and not vanish. But I still can't figure out why this is happening. Any ideas or thoughts would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom Beausoleil

Did you find a solution to this issue? My mail server is doing the same thing. I've tried six migrations now, and have a couple of tickets open, but they all have issues. I have worked around all of them except the mail server problem.
I did some more digging; the problem appears to be that on a migrated server, it leaves all of your mail store in the old location, doesn't move it, and then doesn't appear to upgrade spam-assassin properly. The net effect is that the mail server gets the SMTP communication, tries to pass the message into spam assassin, and then it goes south.
I see errors like this littered in the logs:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: No such file or directory

How do you configure a client to update from the server

I found the information on how to point clients to a software update server but the problem I have is the URL.
The example is http://su.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog
I don't have a URL as far as I know and if I did, is the default port 8088 or where can I change or check that?
And where is a list of the catalog file for the specific versions of OS X?
Basically I have 8 Macs all running Yosemite except for one running 10.8.5. Instead of all the machines hitting the internet for updates, I'd like just my server to down the updates and then all clients update from the server.
If there is better instructions on how to do this, please point the way.
TIA
Chris

This does mean you need to buy a DNS load balancer to do this. The Mac itself cannot.
FWIW, OS X Server is capable of performing round-robin access with the inbound traffic using multiple IP addresses for a single host name. The addresses are each of the software update servers in your server pool.
This'll toss errors for some translations when one of the servers is down — you can tweak the definition if one of the servers is going to be offline for a while — but some of the updates will get through.
Set the DNS TTL fairly short — probably somewhere between a few minutes and an hour — to allow the DNS translations to be changed fairly quickly, if your software update servers are prone to outages.

Client access from W7 to Server 2008 with SQL Express 2008 R2 not possible anymore (since installing yesterdays patches)

Hi everyone!
We are suddenly having Problems to access our SQL Express Server from our Clients (SBS 2008 with W7 clients).
Till yesterday evening everything was working fine. At night we installed the latest MS patches für our Server 2008 (SBS2008).
Since then we are not able to connect to the SQL Express Server over the Network. Locally (on the Server) it runs fine.
Switching the Windows Firewall off on the Server also lets the clients connect ...
The Windows Firewall still has all the ports open needed for SQL Server, we havn't changed anything.
All the incoming rules that worked for years are still there (untouched).
We just deinstalled all the latest patches, but problem still is here ... not sure if this was just a coincidence ...
Any ideas what could be the Problem?
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards
Thomas

Check firewall rules
enable traffic on TCP 1433 and UDP 1434 (if isn't a named instance) or check sql using ports.
Check Sql Server Browser in Configuration Manager and also net protocols.
let's know about it

After upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard, mail server does not receive incoming email

After upgrading my server last night [2011.07.20] from Snow Leopard to Lion, my mail server settings went belly up. After toying around with the server, its certificates and what-not, I was able to get it running, but it is no longer receiving any emails [neither internally nor from Gmail, Yahoo, etc.].
I can send emails via SMTP just fine [using SSL] to external email accounts [and it doesn't complain when I address an email to an internal email account, but I can't verify that it's sending it to the internal email account because it won't receive!].
The Connection Doctor says that it is indeed connecting properly to the server [incoming = IMAP, outgoing = SMTP], so there is communication between Mail 5.0 [and also Thunderbird as well] and the mail server. The problem appears to be the mail server not receiving any emails - from internal or external addresses.
Anyone else having this problem or know of a fix for it?
Thanks!

Facetime error using OS 10.6.8 (snow leopard) "the server encountered an error processing registration"

I can't seem to manage to get logged into facetime on my MacBook Pro using OS 10.6.8, Snow Leopard. It keeps giving me the error of "the server encountered an error processing registration, please try again later" Well two days later its the same issue, can someone please help!! I see a lot of the fixes on here are for the upgraded operating system, and everyone seems to have had snow leopard work fine...why cant I!!! help the old school op system user PLEASE!! :-)

I've been trying to get an answer to this problem for MONTHS. I upgraded both my iMac and my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion, and ever since, FaceTime and iMessage stopped working. I got the "Server encountered an error . . ." So, I called Apple "support" and they claimed they haven't heard of this issue. I said I find it hard to believe since it's apparently a huge problem for tons of users and is all over the Apple forums. After spending an hour on the phone with "support", they said they had to pass i on to a senior engineer and they'd call me back within 2 days with an answer. After waiting a week, I decided to go to the place where I should have gone before, the place where all questions can be answered, even those too advanced for Apple, that place . . . YouTube.
Fixing the time issue didn't work for me, nor did any other solution that has been posted on the boards. Yet after watching a 1:24 video on YouTube, both FaceTime and iMessage now work for me.
Here's the solution which WILL work.
You do need to first make sure your date/time settings are correct and set to adjust automatically. But doing just this step will not fix the problem.
Open Finder, click on "Go" at the top menu, then select "Go To Folder"
Type in /etc and hit enter
You'll see a file called "hosts". Drag that file to your desktop.
Right click on that file and open with Text Edit
Select all the text in that file, delete it and replace it with the text below, exactly as it is below. Then save the new hosts file (just exiting will save it). And then drag that new hosts file back into the /etc folder to replace the old one. After that, your FaceTime and iMessage will work, no thanks to Apple.
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
