Illustrator 16 and File Server

Dear All,
All my files are on XServe 10.7.5, and I have 6 MacPro 2009 on a 1000BT network (2 GB on the server)
3 MacPros Under 10.6.8 and 3 MacPros under 10.7.5.
I have the following problem:
With CS6:
- on a MacPro 10.6.8, I work on a file, make changes and save it on the server-> OK
- just after, on a MacPro 10.7.5, I open the same file, I make changes, copy it and want to close without save the file. I press cmd+w and Illustrator closes the file without any windows, and it saves the changes! If I open again the same file, make the same things, when I press cmd+w, the right windows appears and asks me i f I want to save, discard or escape...
With CS5, no problem to work.
Any idea?
Thx
Stéphane

Hello,
Yes, I know, but:
1:
- it works perfectly with CS5
- do you know any solution to work on many files, on differents computers, and many times by days, without any risk of duplicate file?
2:
I don't want to save as, I just want Illustrator doesn't save the file
I don't understand what is the problem to work on a file server if speed access are similar to a disk. The file is exactly the same, no ?
Thx
SK

Help me Decide on OpenBSD or Solaris as my web and file server please

Hi
5 questions
i have been using OpenBSD as my Web and file server for a while now
and FreeBSD as my Desktop
i decided on OpenBSD as my Server because of its Security
1) But now i hear Solaris is the most Secure OS pn the Planet? is this true
And which is real Unix?
i seem to always have trouble with things such as PHP on OpenBSD
Most of my pages run as *.html but i also have a forum which uses PHP 4
But all my PHP pages come up blank..
i am always encountering errors using PHP
2) If i Switch to Solaris will it b even harder to use or
is it precompiled with PHP 4 and higher when i install Apache
3) Also what about cgi and the ability to use *.htaccess files should i use them
4) Also i i still would like to generate SSH keys ssh-keygen
is that possible?Forcing the user to login using only a key and
not a password on SSH
5) Does Solaris have any Linux compatibility as well?as FreeBSD has
Concider me a newbie even though i use to post on this forum once before
i am always experimenting trying new things out

Either will work just fine. Since you're asking in the Sun forums, you should receive more Solaris replies of course! :-)
The weak point in your setup (as far as security goes) would be the use of PHP either way...

Time Capsule as a classroom WAP and file server?

Hello all:
I am teaching a new course, Big History, which has been developed to take advantage of iPad or other tablets in a WiFi classroom setting.
As our school does not have a school-wide WiFi setup (wired LAN only) I am working together with our IT techie to implement a Time Capsule in our classroom only.
Security and limited access is of paramount importance due to regulations here in Spain, i.e., students may only access those sites required by the course and can't use classtime to play around. I won't be buying the gear until I know it will function as needed...
This WiFi setup is a pilot project, and if successful will lead to a school-wide rollout of WiFi and iPad teaching.
The success of this implementation depends on getting it right...then we can join the 21st century...so I could really use some help here. Here's what we know so far.
The school's wired LAN must have the restrictions in place as mentioned above, and it would be impractical to selectively unblock specific laptops in the computer lab during my class teaching hours and only for the students in my class.
Every day's instruction needs different sites unblocked. So you can see this would be cumbersome for the techie...that is, he doesn't want to do it.
All of my students already have their own tablet devices with WiFi, so it's BYOD.
We will connect the TC via its WAN port to the school's wired system. The techie will set us up as a "sub" network, in effect bypassing the schools main LAN, and we will have no restrictions.
The TC will then act as a WAP and basic file server for classroom resources and for students to pass in homework.
We will then set up a user's group for access to not only the Internet, but also files stored on the TC's hard drive.
Kids will be kids. If we don't limit access to the TC's WiFi, I fully expect that my students will give out their logins and passwords, and will tell other students when I am holding the class so they could use the WiFi surreptitiously. Kudos to the kids for being clever, if I were a teenager again I'd do it too...but it ain't gonna happen.
So far we have concluded that to avoid this: I will take the TC with me when class has ended; and each student's device will be registered as a user by it's MAC Nº.
My immediate questions:
Will this work as I have described? Have I missed something?
I have read elsewhere in other Apple support threads that I may be asking something of the TC that Apple has not envisaged...in order to use TC as I want, we need a specific configuration to access the Internet and also to allow guests on the network?
I will be using my MacBook, connected via Minidisplay port -- VGA adapter to the classroom projector and audio. I will be access the same files on the TC that my students do. How do I protect my files on my MacBook from intrusion? That is, students can only see what's on the TC's drive.
The students can upload their homework to TC and also download files from the TC to their devices for homework, further study, etc. Yes? This will work?
This is enough for one post...any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if any Apple Education personel and/or gurus are monitoring, please feel free to chime in. If I am successful in this pilot project, it means another school joins the Apple Family (700 iPads!!!! How cool is that?)
Many thanks in advance to all,

Kinda disappointed that after 80 views no one could offer an opinion or solution. I went out and did my own research.
Here's the deal:
Time Capsule is designed for domestic / professionals who might have a design studio, etc., i.e., for users to have as a wireless backup device for all of their personal stuff (photos, videos, music and suchlike) and to have a permanent resource for every iteration of any work in progress they've ever done.
TC and it's software is not able to easily, or practically, provide a file server type of environment for multiple users, such as in my application for the classroom. It's just to much of a hassle. Moreover, the TC (and the Extreme for that matter) is a "dumb" device...no processor, no RAM. Power supply, WiFi and a drive, basically. It's the wrong tool for my job, as cool as it is for other applications.
Moreover, IMHO, TC is designed primarily for the USA, or any other region where the internet provider usually only supplies a cable/POTS modem. Both the TC and Extreme are best described as Routers in this instance. Here in Europe, at least in Spain, our providers supply a modem-router combination box. In order to use the AC or AE, I'll have to cable in from the modem router WAN to AC/AE WAN port, and then have to go into the M-R and turn off WiFi. Then I have to fiddle around with channels, and perhaps (hopefully not) ask my ISP for a gateway password. My Spanish MAC geek pals tell me that's not necessary. It's a kafuffle for the unitiated, but reasonably easily done.
For true classroom use and all the stuff I want to do, one needs some sort of server environment. For me, it's going to be a MAC Mini + OS X Server cabled to Extreme over LAN. For my use, the 2 or 3 TB drive in the TC is superfluous, more hassle than it's worth and of little use in my specific application. Yeah, I could load OS X Server on my laptop, it's only €19.99, but that ain't gonna happen, not even on a partitioned disk. I'll cable lappy into the Mini as well. WiFi's for my BYOD students.
BTW, I'll be buying the middle range Mini, 4 GB RAM, faster processor, with a Fusion Drive, and 3rd party RAM to 16 GB, and buy OS X Server for €19.99. BUT, I'm going to wait to see if there is a refresh later in the Fall with the launch of Mavericks.
Hope this helps any others thinking about a similar situation.
All the best,
Steve

Time Capsule both: Time machine and file server

Hi!
We have 3 macs that has access to a Time Capsule we use just as a file server.
Now, I'll like to do backups of all the data, and I was thinking about using Time Machine in all the computers to backup in Time Capsule.
My question is, can I use Time Capsule as both? With Time Machine and also as a file server?
Thanks,
Júlia

Time Machine can be used to backup your Macs to the Time Capsule. You set this up on each Mac by opening System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock and then opening Time Machine to select the Time Capsule as the destination for backups.
Time Machine will keep separate files for each Mac on the Time Capsule and your regular files on the TC will be left alone. Ideally, Time Machine needs about twice as much space for each Mac to allow for a good history of future backups.
Backup each Mac one at a time since the first backup will copy everything from the Mac over.
Things will go 3-5 times faster if you connect the Mac to the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable for this procedure.
Once the "master" backup is completed for each, you can switch back to wireless to backup incremental changes since these will only take a few minutes on average.
As you know, Time Machine cannot be used to backup the regular files that you already have on the Time Capsule disk. If you need to backup these files, post back for a few suggestions on applications that can handle this task.

Server 2012 R2 DC and File Server on the same server

You can still run two Windows 2012R2 Servers on Esxi, just like Gary said. For 10 users, it's really not that big of a deal either way.

DFS and file server

hi
1) i have configured DFS on DC but it is replicate to DC2 so if burn my DC1 server can i get all file from DC2 without any error?
2) burned my DC1 server so i plant to install new same server and want to replace all backup file and folder from my backup HD on this server so we want to make again all setting on all folders and file?
please clear me.

Hi,
First I assume that we have no problem regarding backup and recovery domain controller (DC1 here). So let's talk about DFS and DFS replication.
A1: If DFS is configged and files are replicated between DC1 and DC2, when DC1 is down/crashed, users will be redirected to DC2 - not immediately but after the local cache of DFS namespace is cleared, DC1 will not be provided in referral list send to client
request.
However please understand that DFS-R cannot be considered as a backup tool. So it is still recommended to run regular backup for data files.
A2: If DC1 is rebuilt or replaced by DC3, you can delete DC1 as the folder target and replication target in your DFS configuration and add DC3. Replication will back to work between DC2 and DC3.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

2008 R2 PDC with DNS, File and Print Server Roles

Hi all,
we have a brand new Canon iRA7260 setup on 2008 R2 print server, which is also our DC, DNS, DHCP and File Server with latest PCL5c drivers downloaded from Canon's website as recommended at that time by the canon technician who assembled the
machine. All our laptops and desktops are running Windows 7 64-bit and after creating a GPO everyone got connected to the printer no problem, the printer has a static IP, same subnet as the print server and PDC, printer's port has been setup to RAW
and to spool documents, driver isolation setup to default.
All users are setup for secure print, so every print job they send to the printer stays on the printer until they walk up to the machine and release it by punching in a department's pin. Everything works great except for every morning a get a few complaints
that the jobs sent to the printer did not appear in the secure print folder. There is no errors of any kind on workstations and all I see in the print job logs on the print server is that document been spooled, printed and deleted. The strange thing is that
the size of the document that disappears is always shown as 0 bytes in size and 1 page long. And the whole process of spooling printing and deleting happens within 1 second according to logs. There is no errors or warnings in the log except for informational
events.
I just discovered that what actually fixes this issue for me is not even restarting the print spooler on the print server, but just login into the print server from my workstation via RDP with admin credentials. Once I login into the server remotely,
every print job sent to the printer afterwards from every workstation in our office appears as usual in users secure print mailboxes. Users don't even have to reboot their work stations, everything just starts working as usual. There is no overnight activities
on that server as all our staff leaves the offices by 8 p.m. the latest and the only thing that is running overnight is the Symantec's Backup Executive backup jobs. Is it possible that a back up job could somehow affect the print server/print driver settings
or put it into a "sleep" mode so it would require a domain admin login to the server to bring it back into operational state?

Hi, the print server had default permissions set after the role was installed. I just added domain users and authenticated users with print and view server rights. I don't think this is a problem though because Samsungs Brothers and Xerox printers
are working. It looks like some process that runs at night on the print server disallows users to print to the Canon printer when they come in in the morning. Login remotely with admin credentials into the 2008 R2 that has print server role installed and this
canon printer deployed via GPO fixes this immediately for all users. After the printer works fine until the last staff leaves the office. However when I come in in the morning everyone reports to me the same problem which again I'm able to fix by login with
my domain admin credentials. Could this be due to some special permissions that canon drivers require to be added that I'm not aware of? Or could this be caused by the overnight Backup Executive 2010 R3 backup job that kicks in at 9 p.m. every night?
Thanks

File Server Cluster along with SQL Cluster

1) Upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2
2) Virtualize all of your workload (SQL Server, File Server etc)
After you'll be done it would be much easier to handle isolation inside your VMs and with a decent level of hardware resources allocated you'll have no issues running SQL Server and File Server @ the same time. If you don't virtualize I agree with Tim -
doable but not desirable :)

Configuring login and file servers

Dear Frinds
I have 3 servers in my office. I have plan to configure these three together in my office. My plan is one server just only for login purpose and other two to keep the home folders and shared folders.the function is when one network user log in to one client machine, it just login(by using first server)and disconnect from first server and connect to the either two (means direct to the homefolder i created either of two server). Means first server as login server and other two are file servers. please help. how can i set it up........
thanks

File Server Slowdown with Illustrator(only) saving and opening

Hello,
I have a problem i have been struggling with for years.
When we save a file to the server, the time to open, save or export can be anywhere from 1-5 minutes. Its killing our productivity.
I have changed out every component. We have Eight illustrator CS3 13.0.2 users on C2D/i3/i7 iMacs running 10.6.7. They are connecting to a Mac 10.6.7 Server with AFP - mac mini 2.53 with a lacie 5 drive raid.
We have had this problem going back to at least 10.4.6 i think it was. (I did not write good troubleshooting logs back then)
What appears to be happening:
open a file in the finder or in illustrator
if a font is missing, it immedialy pings you, so its like illustrator looks at the files and then is looking for something else (problem exists if no fonts are present)
the mouse then beach balls and illustrator shows as not responsive
the server shows some activity on the cpu/network/hard drive side but its very minor. like a get info command on lots of files
local user shows very little to no activity
then it stops doing nothing after the few minutes and it opens quickly.
the content of the files does not effect the problem. A 10 meg files with lots of stuff takes maybe 4 minutes vs 3 min 50 seconds for a empty file
my solution so far:
I can clear the problem by running a script that deletes the illustrator prefs, mediabrowser.plist, deletes illustrator cache files, deletes apple quarantie events, bridge prefs. and a restart. Then files open in under 5 seconds. After a couple of hours or some times a day, the open times creep up to a minute, after a few days, they are 2-5 minutes. Sometime clearing these files does not work and i have to then wipe a machine and do clean installs of everything. Some Macs will not have the problem, and function great for a month and then they have the problem for no explainable reason.
All other functions work great, no problems anywhere with anything else, excempt saving illustrator files to the server.
We have tried moving the files locally and then copying them back, but we loose too much work with the errors associated with version control problems. Also a synced folder to the local machines of the server (yes that was intense on the machines) some how had the problem follow it on some macs but not others
I have tried illustrator CS4 and CS5 and it has the same problem
I am currently trying to brute force attack the problem, I figure i can reduce the wait time to maybe 20% with a Mac pro and a bank of SSD's. my cost is almost 8k. I am not happy giving up on fixing the bug, but we have at least 1-2 people waiting around at any given time.
Any thoughts on the problem or a solution?

To create a new Swatches panel to store pattern swatches you have to:
a) Open the Swatches panel and delete all the swatches that you don't want (optional)
b) Choose Save Swatch Library as AI (not ASE) from the Swatches panel menu (I suggest you to save it on the Desktop! So you can easily find that!).
The saved file is actually a simple (blank) Illustrator file.
To use this file with other Illustrator projects choose Window > Swatch Library > Other Libraries and navigate to the saved Illustrator file (Desktop).
At this point another swatches panel is opened on the screen.
Drag the desired swatches from this new panel to the document one. Then close the new panel.
I hope this help

File Server Role: Slow access for "opened files" and slow Explorer browsing

Since we migrated our fileserver from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 we are facing two major problems:
1. Opening files which are already opened by other users takes about 1 minute before the file actually opens. This is not only for Office files such as Excel and Word, but also for other (not office) files. Again, this problem only rises when the file(s)
is/are already opened by another user. There seems to be a sort of "Lock" check time which is about 45 to 60 seconds.
2. The other problem is browsing via Explorer through the network drive (all clients are Windows 7 clients). Half of the time there is some kind of "hick up" with displaying the results of the folder. I cannot figure out a patern, but if there
is no "hick up" then browsing is very fast (also in the busiest times of the working day)... If there is a "hick up" the result can take about 50 seconds to display the content of a folder.
I suspect the SMB implementation / settings of Windows Server 2012 which are causing the problems...
Things I tried:
1. Changed the Oplocks wait time to 10 seconds (which is the minimum). The result is that openening files does indeed go some faster (still taking about 45 seconds).
2. Disabled SMB2: the result is that browsing is fast... Opening files does go faster. BUT: we are then facing other problems like some files are not able to open... This setting was, after getting a lot of complaints from the users, changed back to enabled
SMB2.
3. Within the NIC card properties I disabled "QoS packet Scheduler", "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver", "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder" and IPv6 (as we only use IPv4).
All above with not the promising results.
The server is a dedicated (virtual machine on vSphere 5.1) fileserver.
Please Advice since this is not workable, and we have postponed the migration of the fileserver for our aother location.

Hi Dave,
I suggest you disable all third party applications like Anti-Virus application to test if it could reduce the waiting time when accessing a file.

we have a file server on windows server 2008 R2, I have copied some data from one server to another server using robocopy . I have checked access permission it seems okay no issues with access permission. but when i am trying to delete these folder i am
getting below error message
Error message:-
The source file name are larger than is supported by the file system.try moving to a location which has a shorter path name or try renaming to shortcut names before attempting this operations

I have not looked at the other thread mentioned, but usually when this ends up happening, There are several ways to go about it. One is to map a drive to the UNC path deeper into the folder structure.
So instead of C:\long\path\that\we\dont\want\files\in
You map a drive.. lets say M:\ to \\computer\c$\long\path\that\we\dont\want
Now, when you open Explorer to M:\ you've elimintated the length of the path down to M:\files\in which is completely usable.
The other way, is to shorten the names of everything. For example...
Folder structure like this:
Root
-----Folder1
-----Folder2
--------------Folder2A
-----Folder3
--------------Folder3A
Rename all the folders to shorten up the path. Rename Folder1 to '1' Rename Folder2 to '2', Rename folder3 to '3. Then try to delete. If it's still too long, go one folder deeper. Rename Folder2A to '1' and
Rename Folder3A to '1' and so on. Basically keep renaming everything to a single digit character and eventually you'll shrink the path down to where you can shift-delete everything remaining.
Hope that helps.
