How do you run Server Assistant on Lion?

Hi, all,
I am trying to migrate from a 10.5.8 server to a new Mini running Lion Server and I'm unable to complete the migration as described in the documentation. There have been other threads covering this issue but I can't find a clear answer.
To explain further: I have installed Lion and the Server app from the app store but deferred the migration from the previous server. I am now trying the migration and on page 26 of this document:
http://images.apple.com/macosx/server/docs/Upgrading_and_Migrating_v10.7.pdf
it states:
3 If this is a new server with Lion Server already installed, proceed to Server Assistant instructions in step 8.
4 On the server you are going to install Lion Server on, open the App Store, find Mac OS X Lion, and install it.
7 Click Install.
During installation, progress information appears.
After the installation is complete, the computer restarts and Server Assistant opens so you can perform initial setup.
8 Move through the assistant’s panes, following the onscreen instructions.
In the Transfer Existing Mac Server pane, select “Transfer the information from an existing Mac server” and click Continue.
However, there seems to be no way to launch anything called 'Server Assistant'. I've looked around inside Server.app and Server Admin.app and can't find anything. The documentation for Snow Leopard server says it is in System > Library > Core services but it isn't there on Lion.
It is tempting to try using the Migration Assistant but there are dark warnings in the Snow Leopard documentation about this resulting in data loss.
Anyone out there know a solution to this one? Any help gratefully received.
Gordon.

This is how i fixed it:
Shut down.
Hold 'command + S' to boot into single user mode
type exactly as is below
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
rm /var/db/.ServerSetupDone
reboot
once the machine reboots it will allow you to go through the Server setup Assitant process.

HT5246 How do you run the Flashback malware removal tool?

How do you run the Flashback malware removal tool?
Thanks

I am away from my computer and it is somewhat awkward to reply on an iPad.
> I had already done what softwater instructed. I've read that it deletes itself on other threads, but it's still in my Finder as a Device. That's what confused me, because it doesn't appear to have deleted itself.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. That is not the tool. It is the .dmg image mounted to your desktop. Next to the name you will see a small eject icon. Click on it or highlight it and choose "Eject" from the appropriate Finder menu. Once that happens you can drag the .dmg file to the trash as it will not delete itself.
> I only recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and then Lion, in quick succession. My understanding is that there were (are) variants that would have infected my computer prior to my upgrading my OS to Lion. Before the upgrade, they were Adobe, but afterward they were Java. Could it be that be that the pop-ups were/are some other variant?
Difficult to say for certain. Apple says it deletes all the common variants but does not specify which and I haven't seen the results of any testing done to verify that it finds and deletes those. The only dialogs that appeared with the initial variants were for FlashPlayer. They are depicted in the descriptions for Flashback-A on F-Secures site if you want to take a look. There have been none that I am aware of for Java, so that is probably either a web page or application that needs Java to run giving you that alert.
> If the Flashback malware removal tool didn't find anything and my Software Update is current, does that mean the vulnerability has been fixed? At least for now? I understand that I Software Update will prompt downloads in the future if and when it needs to be patched again.
The vulnerability is in Java, nowhere else, so if you don't have it installed there was nothing to fix.
If you download Java in the future it will be the latest version Apple has available at the time, which hopefully will not be subject to exploitation, yet...

How do you run apps on creative cloud? I can't seem to run them or see them on my desktop

Hi JasonLuong,
You will have to go to www.creative.adobe.com and login with your Adobe Id on which you have purchased the subscription.
You can go to the download center and then start downloading all the cc apps available. It will first download and install the Creative cloud desktop tool in your computer. This creative cloud desktop will show you the option to download all the CC programs, the updates, etc.
Thanks

How do you run a full virus scan

How do you run a full virus scan on the Imac

Take a look at this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing
Running a virus scan would not help at all - someone got your email address and is now hoping you're dumb enough to use the links they provided and give them information so they can use your credit card or checking acount number, password, etc.
I would change my user name and password immediately (if not sooner!!) - make it difficult to guess. Do it at least with the bank involved; however, to be safe, it wouldn't hurt doing it with others as well.

HT4827 How do you disable Server OS X in Mountain Lion?

I read the article provided by apple on how to disable the OS X server in Lion found at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4827.
I did as instructed, but in step 6, there is no "Dedicate system resources to server services" option.
The problem I am having is related to the mail program. It is a common problem, but none of the fixes are working for my computer. I can receive mail fine, but when I go to send mail it says that "An error occurred while trying to sign this message with a certificate from “[email protected]”. Verify that your certificate for this address is correct, and that its private key is in your keychain." I have it set up to where my password is the auth. for the account.
I am new to mac and most of the jargon is over my head. If anyone can provide new info on how to uninstall the server and fix my mail, I would be extremely happy!

I tried that. I deleted it and restarted. It did not delete.

How can i run windows on osx lion

Hi, some programs don't run anymore on osx lion. So I would like to install windows. How do I need to proceed?
Thanks, Franklin

... don't run anymore
Upgrade when possible.
Downgrade back.
Dual boot 10.6 or even 10.5 (as old as your Mac came with) and Lion -
You can even have a Mac HFS data partition.
Instead of dual booting Windows.
Depends on what. You didn't mention. Or whether they are Windows alternatives that have to run natively. Or could be run in a VM guest OS - but have to share RAM and processor resource, which may not be feasible or run well enough.
Apps incompatible with OS X Lion
keep Snow Leopard when upgrading to Lion

How do you use imessages on "Mountain Lion"

How do you use i-messages on Mountain Lion, Several analysis of the new operating system seem to say you can do that but I tried to send a message to my Ipod, Iphone and I-Pad from the new operating system " Mountain Lion" But I guess I got things set up wrong it did not work. I got no messages from the I-Mac.
Since I am a new I-Mac used ( Have a ipod, ipad & Iphone) would like to be able to send Imessages from my I-Mac and can't figure out how to do that. I keeps wanting to send AIM messages and when I go to change it to I Cloud mesages I don't see I-Cloud on the list???

Joe thanks for the reply but I am still confused here is the problem:
I opened The accounts window and went to my ME.com account but it wants me to set up an AIM account , what is that all about . I was sure I was sending the messages thru the apple server .
Second I am a PC person and this is my wifes I-Mac, so I am new to MACS but I have used PC's for 35 years.
She wants to be able to send me I-Messages for her MAC that is why I am trying to set this up for her. She is NOT a Techie and so she depends on me. I am very confused by the MAC as I have buily trouble shoot and fixed PS (not as a profession but as a hobby) I am trying to get used to the MAC so I can help my wife. As I have an IPOD and an 4S I-Phone. Now you know the whole story. Sorry to bore you with the details but I was sure it would help you give me a better Idea of where to go to correct the AIM situation.
OK when I go to the ME.com account there is no where where I see Caller ID???
What I see is My wifes e-mail a Bonjour ( imactive) account, & Yahoo account. I may be in the wrong place
Toi be frank I don't see an Imessages account. Under mail accounts I see My wifes 5 e-mail accounts and one of them is a .ME account ( I assume that is the icloud account) but where it says account type it says AIM how do I change it to an I Cloun account?
OK the next question when you say click on the DOCK I go to system preferences and click on DOC and I get some screen that shows SIZE, Magnification Position on screen and so on.
When I go to the Finder and click on Applications I get a window that says messages but there is nothing on that window that I can adjust?
Help Where is i messages

How do you run a Windows PC based program on a MacPro

Can someone advise on how I can run a program designed for a windows PC on my Apple Macbook Pro.

Use Boot Camp Assistant, the PDF Guide and FAQ and there is a Boot Camp forum.
Along with that, you might just use a virtual OS of Windows like VirtualBox from Oracle or buy VMware Fusion. But you need Windows usually (Crossover Mac covers a few programs).

How do you do a Clean install lion

How do you do a clean install of lion? My iMac is 8 yr old and has gotten sluggish. At one point it was suggested that I might want to do a clean install but no one ever told me how to do that since we don't have a disk!

Assuming you already have Lion installed, boot into Recovery Mode (Command-R). From there you can reinstall Lion. Note, however, that a clean install means you first erase the drive you want to do the clean install on, and unless you have a complete backup of everything that's currently on it, you'll lose it all; the clean install will leave you with a fresh operating system but nothing else. To get it all back, make that external clone, then when the clean install is finished on the internal, Setup Assitant will run and you can point it at the external clone to get all your stuff back.

How can you run an executable from AS2 code without using fscommand() or a projector?

Just using some short .asc files made out of Notepad for some back-end server stuff, but without using fscommand() or projectors, how can you call an executable? There's a C++ program that I want to run from more-or-less the same directory as the .asc files, which handles some logging, and I need to be able to pass it arguments when telling it to run.
Please note that I have Googled this with no useful results and that I'm on an assignment that necessitates this question. Also I'm open to the possibility that it can't be done.
Thanks!

The swf is on a different server and using AS3. The little bit of AS2 back-end stuff is on a few different servers that the swf is hooking up to for streaming video and audio. The executable would be on the AS2 servers.
