How to change from Mac OS X to Mac OS X Server

Hello everyone? I have a Mac Pro Late 2013 with Mac OS X v10.9.4. I want to change from Mac OS X to Mac OS X Server v10.9.4. Is it possible?

If an enterprise mail server is a requirement, then I'd generally recommend installing Windows Server, with Active Directory and Exchange Server, Sharepoint server and related features.  Not OS X Server.
OS X Server includes the Postfix and Dovecot packages and related tools, and which are common Unix servers used for mail.
If you want to run the integrated mail server within OS X Server, you'll need both private (assuming a NAT'd network) and public DNS services must be entirely correctly configured — other mail servers will use any of your DNS configuration errors as a reason not to accept mail from your server, and potentially as a reason not to send mail to your server — and you'll need static IP from your ISP, and a decent-grade firewall, and preferably a firewall with an embedded VPN server and with DMZ capabilities configured to keep any server breaches contained and separate from your inner network.  Your firewall will usually need to have TCP port 25, TCP 587, and either TCP/UDP 995 or preferably TCP 993 open, and forwarded through; the appropriate ports for whatever services you're using. 
You'll generally not want to have your internal, private, NAT'd network DNS servers accessible to and serving translation publicly.
Or yes, Kerio does quite well, and is definitely a step or two up from the standard mail software in OS X Server — though nowhere near what Exchange Server and Active Directory and the rest can provide for a typical enterprise.
As for many of the questions that can arise when configuring OS X Server via Server.app for DNS and mail, please see the help within Server.app.

    I recently changed from a pc to a mac book. The major issue I am having right now is getting yahoo to work properly. The major thing is autocomplete does not work and I do not know how to load my contacts to "mail". Furthermore, I cannot attach any type of documents to my emails (Yahoo says there is a problem). I suspect there is a setting somewhere, but I don't know where. Javascript is enabled, so I am out of options

    Which os are you using?
    Yahoo issues should be posted in their forums or contact Yahoo tech support.

  • I aam thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac.  Will I need to buy a new Apple compatible version of Lightroom, do I have to pay to upgrade or can I get the new version free?

    I am thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac.  Will I need to buy a new, Apple compatible, version of Lightroom, or can I upgrade to it, or can I get it free as I've paid for the PC version?

    Your licence is not platform specific, so Lightroom can be used on any two machines (Mac and/or WIndows), with one actually being used at any given time.
    So no, you're money's safe!

  • I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files (not i-tunes purchases) which I just can't get into my i-tunes library. File converters don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

    I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files which I can't get into i-tunes. When the library was in Windows, i-tunes would convert the files automatically, but this doesn't happen now. I've downloaded a couple of file converters, but these don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

    iTunes for Windows (but not iTunes for Mac) can import and convert unprotected WMA tracks. If the tracks are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) then it will not accept them.
    One option would be to install iTunes on your PC, do the conversion, and then transfer the converted tracks from iTunes on your PC to iTunes on your Mac.

  • How to change from Photoshop CC to Photoshop Photography Program?

    Is it possible for me to do this change? I don't mind to get tied for another year.
    Please let me know. Thanks!
    P/S: I saw some support staff has been helping to cancel the subscription for Photoshop CC and allow them to subscribe the Photography Program, can I have the same treatment as well? Thanks!

    Well it’s not easy it seems. Some got help in two minutes others, like us, nothing?????
    Perhaps it only works in the USA not in Europe?

  • Satellite C660 - How to change from 32 bit to 64 bit operating system?

    Can some one please tell me how to change from a 32 bit to a 64 bit operating system for my Toshiba Satellite C660 Notebook?
    No cds came with my notebook so I can't restore.
    I installed the 32 bit when setting up by mistake and would now like to change.
    Thanks in advance

    >No cds came with my notebook so I can't restore.
    In user manual you could find a info that recovery disk needs to be created using preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Media (disk) Creator
    >I installed the 32 bit when setting up by mistake and would now like to change.
    The Toshiba image of some notebook models contains the Win 7 32bit and 64bit system.
    Not sure if your image supports both versions so cannot say for sure if you would be able to switch to 64bit but try this:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    During HDD recovery procedure you should be asked what version you want to chooseof course if both versions would be available so check thisotherwise you will need to purchase an 64bit version.

  • How many users from an application can connect to a SQL server at a time?

    HI,
        I need to know , How many users from an application can connect to a SQL server at a time? Do we have any settings for this in SQL server for limiting the users?

    This is a difficult question, since it is both technical and legal.
    The absolute maximum number of connections is around 32700, but unless your server is very beefy, it will choke long before that. A connection is not a user - an application can have many connections for the same user. Depending on your license
    model, you may be legally limited to a certain number of users, but this number is not enforced technially.

  • IPhone & iTunes - how to change from Mac to PC?

    I have been sync'ing my iPhone 4S on a Macbook Pro. I need to switch to a PC.
    I have searched Google and Apple Support but all I can find are ways to convert from PC to Mac.
    I've imported the library.xml I copied from the Mac and copied my iTunes Music to the PC.
    When I plug in the iPhone on the PC, it just recognizes it as a mobile device and doesn't connect it to iTunes.
    Is there some documentation on how to convert from iTunes/iPhone on Mac to iTunes/iPhone on a PC?

    Follow the directions here:

  • How to change iCloud password on a remote Mac?

    I use iCloud and Back To My Mac (BTMM) to access some of the computers I have overseas. Everything was fine up until yesterday when I had to change my iCloud password. I now have lost access via BTMM to those remote computers as they need to have the iCloud password updated in the iCloud panel in their System Preference (and the Back to My Mac option has to be disabled/re-enabled to have it restarted).
    I have remote SSH access to those remote Macs (all running Lion and in one case Snow Leopard), so I have a working SSH shell on them. But I cannot figure out how to update the iCloud password that is stored on those Mac via command line. I can reboot them if needed of course remotely, I'd just need to update the password used for the iCloud services...
    Having someone walk to those Macs, login with my account and have them enter the password for me is not really an option, as to do that I'd have to give them both my Mac's account password and my new iCloud password, which is not going to happen :-) In addition, some of the Macs are used by my parents and in-laws, with their computer skill being limited to knowing how to open Safari and the Mail app. They wouldn't be able to help in anything technical.
    So... is there another solution other than buying a plane ticket to go overseas and do it myself?

    In case anyone wonders, I was finally able to update my iCloud password ont he remote computer. The key was SSH.
    Issue this command to connect via SSH to the remote Mac:
    ssh remote_computer -L 5800:127.0.0.1:5900
    This forwards all traffic from port 5800 on your Mac to port 5900 (the VNC/Screen Sharing port...) on the remote Mac.
    Then open the Screen Sharing app from your Mac. From there, connect to:
    localhost:5800
    This will actually connect you to the remote Mac, even though your iCloud password is wrong on the remote Mac. Now you have GUI access and you can login into your account remotely and update the iCloud password on the System Preferences on the remote Mac.

  • How to change from SLIM to KDM?

    Hello,
    I'm using the MATE desktop, OpenBox as window manager and SLIM for login.
    I'm starting to feel tired of not being able to change between various desktops without closing the main one, I mean, with OpenSUSE Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6 are terminal ttys (it is so with Arch+SLIM too), Ctrl+Alt+F7 to F12 are graphical ttys, you can change between any of them and log in as any user you want without closing the F7 tty, or closing it, or doing whatever you want. This was petty cool in order to kill some broken task that hanged the screen or in order to do whatever.
    May I don't know how to do it with SLIM, but anytime I do Crtl+Alt+F9, for example, I just got a blank screen with an hyphen blinking. With OpenSUSE I got a graphical login screen.
    More:
    I've got installed OpenBox, MATE and enlightenment. It is suppose me to be able to change between them pressing F1, and in fact SLIM changes where says "session: XXXX" between them at the login screen, but whatever I choose SLIM ALWAYS log me in MATE. I've got to change it manually in ~/.xinitrc and logout and login again every time I want to change between sessions. I cannot do it directly at the login screen.
    Sometimes after login out and login in several times SLIM hangs and I have to reboot.
    I think all these problems comes from slim, and since with OpenSUSE, that use kdm, I had no problem I want to try kdm as login manager, but I haven't seen any guide to do it if you've got a login manager already installed. I've seen it just if it is the first system installatio. And I'm a little scared of breaking my login and spend too much time fixing it.
    How can I change from SLIM to KDM without pain?

    WOW, I had to install kdebase-workspace and it installed as dependency a functional kde system . And... I was able to choose between all the other desktops but MATE, so... kdm and all that it installed with it's already uninstalled
    But with kdm I was able to open an enlightenment session in tty 8 without closing kde in tty 7...
    ewaller wrote:Install kdm.
    Disable the slim service using systemctl
    Enable the kdm service using systemctl
    No need to uninstall slim.  Hang on to it until everything is working
    Thank you ewaller, it worked perfectly
    Scimmia wrote:Well changing to kdm is as simple as using systemctl to disable slim and enable kdm.That won't get you graphical logins on tty8+, though.
    So, how can I do it with slim?
    Raynman wrote:Do you really need a GUI to kill a program?
    No, I don't, it was just an example.
    Sounds like your xinitrc isn't quite right, check the wiki page for slim.
    I'm tired of reviewing my xinitrc in order to make slim let me choose my desktop. I think the F1 to change the session is experimental. I will open other thread in order to get some help or in order to help SLIM to solve this problem.
    And you could try LightDM instead (because KDM probably pulls in some KDE crap). It comes with dm-tool (and a replacement for gdmflexiserver) to start a new session on another tty.
    Sounds good. I'll try to make slim work perfectly and if I don't get it to work as perfectly I want I'll try other login managers.
