How to use each machines's HD as a backup with Lion Server accounts?

Hi,
I am the administrator of a network for a small business.
We have 6 machines (iMac running OSX Lion) and one Mac Mini running OSX Lion Server.
Every user is logging on their machines with their network account, which means that they (by default) save all their documents on the Mac Mini server.
The good side of this is that:
a) Any user can log in from any machine
b) Every document that the user has is backed-up at regular time intervals thanks to Time Machine.
Although the networks access tends to slow down the machine (especially with big Excel spreadsheets), and each iMac has massive hard drives that are all 95% empty.
Is there a way to easily setup an appropriate policy so that I can leverage the big size of each machine's hard drive, and reduce network access?
(i.e. each user loads all the configuration from the network at login, then works on his/her local drive until he/she logs out, and a full back-up from the local drive to the distant folder is made once a day / once a week???)
Thanks,

Hello & welcome to the foruns!
Maybe I can help with one facet...
Just a quick note for people who use Elgato’s EyeTV on their Macs in New Zealand. I’ve got an Automator script here that will fetch a TV schedule and load it into EyeTV. It takes care of deleting the file it downloads but you might need to open it (use the Automator program) to change where it downloads to.

How do I get PHP's mail function to work with Lion Server?

I've turned on the Mail Server, tried relaying mail through my ISP, and it's not working. I'm used to using the mail function, so that bit should be working. Do I need to edit the php.ini file?

Did you actually run Software Updateafter installing 10.7 to see if there are updated drivers from HP?
HP drivers are updated through Apples Software Update.
See also this from HP. which indicates that the 1200 series is supported on 10.7

Document about how to use each BI Bean

Anyone know whether there is any document on how to use each BI Beans besides Bean's javadoc?

I would recommend downloading the latest BI10g samples from the BI Beans website. Click here for downloads, demos and documentation for BI Beans 10.1.2.0.0.
For the graph there is a lot of really good information located on the Reports OTN page. This explains how to use many of the features of the BI Beans graph and contains some really good examples of how to format a graph.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/faq/Graph_FAQ_with_style.html
I would recommend reviewing the OU course on the BI Beans Query Model as this explains the basics of how to construct and manage queries:

http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/show_desc.redirect?dc=D18655&p_org_id=1001&lang=US&source_call=
The BI Beans query model supports powerful and flexible query techniques for analytic applications. This course explores this query model, both from an API perspective and a user interface perspective, with the goal of illustrating advanced query techniques for custom business intelligence applications.
BI Beans 10g provides a lot of new features. We have a viewlet that explains in detail how to use one of the key new features: JSP list tags. This viewlet demonstrates a number of list tags, such as:
* DimensionMember
* CascadingDimensionMember
* AWProgram
* Navigation
This viewlet can be viewed directly from the link on OTN:

How do I set up my Time Machine and Mac Mini with Lion Server so i have one wifi loop in the house?

HELP!
So I have had a Time Machine wifi loop at the house for approx. 6 years. I run two Macbooks, 2 iPhones, 2 iTouch and a Samsung Smart Blueray on the loop.
I just bought a Mac Mini with Lion Server. When setting it up I'm not sure what or how I managed to do, but I now have 2 wifi loops, one doesn't lock and niether will support the Samsung BlueRay. Also, each time I want to go online with one of the other Mac devices i have to relog into the wifi loop.
Can someone please walk me through the fix. The mac Mini is plugged straight into the Time Machine to recevie its internet connection.
Thanks!

You often see this limit of 10 clients in wireless hotspots but I have yet to see it in an adsl modem.. most strange way to pay for a service that is really irrelevant how many clients you use.
Have a go .. I recently setup a TC to help a guy run his Roku.. and this setup worked well.. I have no idea if it can work in your case.
Lets say the IP you get is 192.168.2.1-10 .. doesn't matter what it really is. And the adsl modem is 192.168.2.254
(Assuming they are private addresses.. if they are public IP you can just use the DHCP and NAT. )
But go to the airport utility.. I think you need to run v5 at least to change DNS.. but you can do the same thing in v6 using static but no dns changes.
Now you set the IP of the TC manually.. This address might need to be in the dhcp range of the modem to work. You can set the DNS to same IP as the router address.. ie home address of the modem. Or you can use another DNS.. whatever you like.
Then set DHCP for clients that will join.. this can then expand the scope of addresses..
It worked without a NAT error.. although I am not sure exactly how.. on paper it should not be able to work but did.. have a go.. otherwise there is perhaps another way.. but it is complicated.
Give us an example from a computer plugged into the modem of what IP .. subnet mask .. Gateway and DNS you get. Then I can fine tune the values for it.

Go into Settings App and turn OFF Find My iPhone. It will ask for your old password, but in the future you can use your new Apple ID account.

How to use webmail address book on Mac Mini Server with Lion Server.

I have a Mac Mini Server with Lion Server installed; the webmail is setup and working but I can not get the address book to work.
I have followed an instruction from this website on how to activate the address book icon in webmail but can not add any addresses. Is there something that needs to be activatied before it will work?

No, I didn't solve the problem. The monitor still goes to sleep with WIndows but not with my Mac Mini. About 8 months ago I basically wore out the power switch on my monitor so I bought a wireless power switch to shut it off at the outlet. The VX2835wm monitor itself is now starting to fail as well-- a couple of times it's gone through a weird sequence of flashing screen colors on power up and ended up in an overscan mode (that took me for ever to figure out how to fix). I have decided to replace my VX2835wm with a Dell u2412m once it fails for good partly because I really want to keep the 16:10 resolution (very hard to find these days) and partly because I want to see if a different make of monitor will go to sleep properly based upon my Mac Mini power down settings.

How do I get Mac Pro with Lion Server to restart at a set time when users are connected?

I have recently configured a Mac Pro with Lion Server, and have set it to restart automatically every morning at 3am. When I arrive in the morning, I notice that it has not rebooted, usually because it states there are users connected. Is there a way to automatically disconnect users so that the machine will reboot. No one is ACTIVELY connected at this time of the morning, but may still be logged in somewhere. I did see where I can log out users after a set period of time when using Workgroup Manager to manage a computer or computer group, but I don't use the server to manage all of the computers that have users log in.
Thanks!

Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be each and every night, but it was for the sole purpose of preventing sluggishness. We had it set up before, as Snow Leopard Server and it would restart every night. It would occasionally be slow and need rebooting, however a manual reboot was not possible by most people in the store as they did not have credentials to screen share and restart it - which would result in holding down the power button to shut it down.
The server is used for the sole purpose of logging in about 50 users just so they can customize their experience, as well as saving items to their own home folders. The store is closed during the night, and there is no reason anyone would be accessing it during the night.

I tried to download a movie on my iPod touch but due to limited space, it did not download. Then, I checked my credit card online, and I found the money was already taken. How will I get it to download on another device with the same account?

My iCloud is defaulting to an old Hotmail address that I no longer use, my apple ID is currently functioning fine with a gmail account. I'm not able to change my iCloud email on my phone or on desktop... Any advice?

My iCloud is defaulting to an old Hotmail address that I no longer use, my apple ID is currently functioning fine with a gmail account. I'm not able to change my iCloud email on my phone or on desktop... Any advice?

You would have to change your Apple ID back to your old hotmail address (https://appleid.apple.com ) in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" and change the iCloud ID. After you changed it back and verified your old hotmail address you should be able turn off "Find My iPhone" and to temporarily delete your iCloud account from your devices. After that you can change your Apple ID back to your gmail address again. After it is verfied, you could add back your iCloud account by using your gmail address.

How do I prevent multiple applications opening on start up with Lion?

how do I prevent multiple applications opening on start up with Lion?

It's the Resume feature of Lion:
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.

Hey Edgew7,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
Thanks,
Matt M.
