How to uninstall osx server 10.6 ?

There's no downgrade path from OS X Server to OS X client. Other than wiping the disk, and installing OS X client on the box. Or as others have done in this situation, shut down the server function(s) you're not using, and leave it alone.

How to remove/uninstall OSX Server Demo

Hi all,
I installed the OSX Server Demo disc I received from Apple that has an expiry date June 30th, 2009. Long story short, it's not suitable for my needs. Now, how do I remove it without affecting anything existing. There doesn't seemed to be any option anywhere.

I suggest you ask in the server forum

Another Newbie, how can Mac OSX Server help my School?

Hi all, the school where i work has just taken delivery of 11 brand new macs. 8 iMacs, 2 MBP's and a mini. What i'm interested to know and if anybody is just prepared to bullet point, is how we can really benefit from this software.
Clearly it's going to be tricky administering 11 macs individually, so maybe sacrifice the mini to become the server. Heres some basic questions and if anybody has any other comments they can add from experience i can approach the school with my findings?
1) Can multiple third party software installations be initiated. i.e. we have Adobe CS3 can a multiple install be initiated over the network or would all machines have to be updated individually.
2) A big concern is storage, if a server is used can files be stored locally on the machines or would they have to be stored on the server, Xserve isn't on the cards unfortunately. Is it like a windows server where the profile is stored on the server and then just downloaded to the appropriate machine. For the meantime we ideally need to store locally or on firewire drives to keep storage issues to a minimum. It's no problem making students stick to the same mac if we can make this happen.
3) Could backups be initiated from all machines to some sort of storage facility.
4) I'm guessing it's easy to lock machines down, it seems very easy to do on standard OSX so i'm guessing it would be even easier on server.
Being a school i would be grateful for any advice or recommendations on how administering this small network would be easiest done. I'm an experienced mac user but no in a network scenario, i am however keen to learn.
Thanks in Advance

Hi, I'll give a go at answering your questions.
First, how tricky it will be to administer 11 macs individually truly depends on your users. I've setup offices where the employees were intelligent people who weren't interested in hacking around on their machines, they just did their work. All their user accounts had admin privileges (along with an admin account on each machine that only the appropriate people knew the password for) so they could easily change preferences and do updates, etc. I barely had a problem with them. If you have a group who are all into surfing naughty bits and bittorrenting and other things, then you'll need to lock them down. If you are going to lock them down, you can still do it without the aid of a server by having an admin account on each machine, but you will have to touch each machine periodically to install updates and such. If you do go with server, then you can manage a lot more centrally. By the nature of you having 11 machines and the limit of OS X client of only 10 file sharing connections at a time, you're almost forced into OS X Server and the Unlimited version at that.
1) Yes you can initiate software installations simultaneously, but it will require you to capture and package those installations, and use something along the lines of FileWave, radmind, Apple Remote Desktop, etc. to perform the push. For the number of users you're dealing with, it's probably much easier to host the installer on the network, and screen control each system and run the install (along with entering the serial numbers for each one). Any future updates could be easily performed with a terminal script and access to the updater files.
2) You can store your files anywhere you want, locally or on the server (or even on a NAS). Obviously it makes sense to host them on the server (or other central location) if they are collaborative files (ie., everyone works on them or needs to see them). Your question about the windows profiles doesn't make sense with the storage part, but you can choose how to run your server/client model. You can have roaming profiles where the users' home directories are stored on the server and they can login from any machine. Or you can have individual machines and the server only authenticates the user for access to mail/file/whatever services.
3) Yes. Either by using Time Machine if it gets fixed in 10.5.2, Retrospect (which I don't trust and haven't for years), rsync (which is free and built into the OS and is cross platform so you could even back up Windows clients), or some other commercial client like PresSTORE.
4) Yes, as I stated above you can lock down the client machines and of course server can be locked down to avoid people from messing it up.
I know you mentioned an Xserve isn't an option, but how about a MacPro tower? In your situation, I would setup a MacPro with a single 2.8Ghz Quad core chip, Unlimited MacOS X Server, 2GB RAM, and 2 x 500 GB SATA drives for $3648 (cheaper if you get the drives from elsewhere). If there's the chance you could migrate other school services to the new server (email, websites, shared calendar, jabber server, etc.) you could upgrade the processor and memory (RAM can also be had cheaper from a 3rd party). You setup the two drives in a mirror RAID for fault protection and it would contain your OS and your file shares. Then get 2 external firewire drives, at least 500 GB each. Configure your network backups (and the server itself) to backup to an external drive, leave it attached for a week, and at the end of the week, eject the drive, disconnect it, and plug in the other drive (both should be named the same). Then take the first drive off-site (to another building on campus, etc.). Repeat every week. This gives you a rotating off-site backup. If even that is not an option, the mini could be the server, but you definitely want to max the RAM, and buy one of those nice mirrored RAID enclosures from OWC as your main drive, along with the 2 externals for rotating backup.
I hope that's answered some of your questions, feel free to ask more if need be. May I ask where you are located? If by some amazing chance we're close by, I might be more of a help. Take care and good luck.

How to uninstall Lion Server?

I accidentally downloaded Lion Server on my laptop. I need to uninstall this. Anyone know how to uninstall?

Well, actually it's been posted some days ago. But it's not quite enough to get rid of it.
Yesterday I gave it a try and, once everything in the note is done, you still have to open Terminal and :
stop the Apache server (sudo apachectl stop to stop it until next reboot or sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist to stop it definitely)
more important : stop the PostGRESQL database server and the collection of information you don't need anymore :
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.postgres.plist
To revert this commands, simply run them with 'unload -w' changed in 'load -w'.
(I couldn't manage to find a graphical tool to do it, hence the Terminal commands)
If you upgraded from Snow Leopard and would like to get back the original Web Server configuration (with the ~username local web sites) you have to put back the Apache configuration file stored during the Server installation. In /private/etc/apache2, you should find a httpd.conf.bak file, to rename in httpd.conf (beforehand, you should keep a copy of the current file, if ever you change your mind). Then restart Apache (sudo apachectl graceful).

How to disable OSX server 3 SMTP authentication

Hi,
I upgraded my 10.5 server to 10.9 OSX server. The mail server is only used internally. I use a HP Multifuntion printer which I often use to scan documents and the printer would mail me the scans in PDF. In 10.9 the user have to authenticate in order to send mail via the SMTP server. Unfortunately the HP printer expects an open SMTP server.
I know that underneath OSX mail server Postfix is running. Is there a way to dissable SMTP authentication so I can us my multifunction printer to mail me the scanned documents again?

MrHoffman,
Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction. I added my network to the mynetwork parameter and still got an error on the mail server. This was what I found in the log:
NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from hpprinter.warmoezier.home[192.168.XX.XX]: 504 5.5.2 <NPIB32ACB>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname; from=<XXXXXXXXXX> to=<XXXXXXXXXX> proto=ESMTP helo=<NPIB32ACB>
(I removed my mail addresses from the printout. It seems that the HP printer doesnot provide the fqdn in the HELO command.
Then I replaced:
smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname reject_invalid_helo_hostname
with:
smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_invalid_helo_hostname
This solved my problem.
I gues I have to replace the network with the exact printer address in the mynetworks parameter to be on the safe side concerning openrelays in my private network.
I edited the main.cf directly without using the postconf command or should I have used postconf?
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Peter.
P.s.
btw is the command in your post correct?
postconf -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix mynetworks -e "mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, [::1]/128, 10.20.30.40"
shouldn't it be:
postconf -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix -e "mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, [::1]/128, 10.20.30.40"

Using the Oracle Universal Installer, click the uninstall button and see if the Web server appears in the list of installed products. If so you should be able to uninstall it there.

How to uninstall lion server and reformat my mac mini

Hi. I just purchased a mac mini server. I DONT LIKE THE SERVER SOFTWARE!!!!!
How can I reformat my drives and install Sno Leopard? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Thanks

Do you have 10.6 Client? Does it boot/run on the latest Mini?
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
From there you can reformat or erase the Disk

How to uninstall win server 2012 R2 (OS) from computer altogether?

Hi guys, I am trying to remove/ format my hdd that holds my OS which is currently Windows Server 2012 R2. I am having a tough time at it. Are there any suggestions?

Hi, we have a Win server 2012 R2 (Standard edition, running on a HP Proliant ML350 Gen9), running Active Directory. This machine is also a fileserver. Our files are mostly Word and Excel. We are a carpenter company and many of our carpenters work on customer sites. They often have slow internett connections (mobile broadband). They need to access and update the files on our server. So my question is - what would be the best way to set this up? The connection should of course be secure. It should also be easy to use.
My thoughts so far is: DirectAccess? The VPN on our ZyWall 110 firewall/router? WebDAV?
