Rather than importing in Server.app you could try using Workgroup Manager.

Is it possible to share an aperture library with different users using osx server.

Not really. You should not be sharing an Aperture library over a network. It's not designed for that and you'll likely corrupt your library at some point.

How can local user send message to other user via OSX server in mac maverick

I just install OS X server in mac mavericks and enable services such as message, DNS, VPN, etc. I also create local users and local network users. I add some local users from OSX server to Message app in order to message to server, but I cannot send any message to those user, even Bonjour is available but I cannot use it to send message in local network.
I already followed all Server Help in Messages like in this image:
I try to access to my local OS X server via IP address by using other PC, Mac and iPhone and I can get this interface:
I already try in iPhone to send message to local user in OS X server after accessing to OS X server via IP Address, but I don't know how local user can get that message and I see nothing in message_archives of message data of server. Therefore, how each user in OSX server can message to each other across OSX server ? Does Admin have to write some codes or make configuration for providing message services to those users ?

Client users need to use XMPP client app to log in to server with account name like in server , then user can send message to other users in server. Client users can use iphone, pc, or mac.

Users using SQL Server Authentication

What tables/views would I use to create a list of users using SQL Server Authentication? I want the name, whether password (complexity) policy is set and whether password expiration is set. I only want current/active users.

You can query query sys.sql_logins to get this information.

Can I use OSX Server instead of Dropbox?

We are considering buying OSX Server. One basis for the purchase would be to replace Dropbox. We currently use Dropbox with local sync of folders, so all oru people work directly in folders that are synced to everyone else. Thus all docs are available locally all the time adn then they are available on everyones iPads, iPhones and Android phones. However a downside of that is that it takes space on the local hard drive, we can have conflicts where multiple people open a file.
Can someone please explain how remote users get access to the OSX server and the documents on it and if there is a "syncing" option similar to Dropbox?
Thanks
John

Answers:
#1 Yes, if set up correctly the server can be available to everyone with Internet access.
Typically this would be via a VPN connection. One caveat–only one VPN connection can be active from a particular LAN. In other words, if two computers on the same LAN want to connect via VPN to your server, this will not work (at least it wouldn't under earlier versions of OS X).
WebDAV is a possibility but I have not had good results when using WebDAV. Access is limited to apps that support WebDAV connections (such as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote). Even then it seemed a bit problematic.
#2 Any offline documents from the server must be managed manually. In other, you must manually copy them back and forth. As Linc mentioned above, OS X Server does not offer sync functionality.

Trying to limit a user on OSX Server to one directory for FTP

Hey there everybody,
I'm trying to set up a client FTP for a new mac mini running OSX Server (Mavericks). FTP is enabled and I am able to get and put files but, the server is going to be used for a client services company and we will need to use it to transfer files back and forth without allowing access to the whole machine. The core issue is when I FTP in as a user I can still move around and see folders and files. I would like to create a user that can only see one folder or directory and only get / put files to that one place. Can't seem to find any similar posts, though I would assume this is fairly common.
Huge thanks in advance!

How to create global Contact list using OSX Server Contacts Service?

My goal is to create a global contact list for the use of my department at work. We currently have 5 MBP's and a Mac Mini Server running OSX Server.
I have read so many forum posts and so called "solutions" that my head is completly spinning... like a record... right round... you get the idea.
I talked with Apple Support, and they are going to walk me through the process of changing our network from "local" to a legitimate internet network. Enabling DNS and setting up open directory are some of the steps, and all in all i was impressed with the support i received. We did a complete walkthough of all the steps it would take to change everything, without actually making any changes (because I could not shut down the company server at the time I called).
All that being said, I have been reading that actually creating and sharing a global contact list (and enabling specific user access for read/write for said list) is not as simple as Apple is telling me. I have read so many horror stories about not being able to edit the list, having duplicate lists and entries, and many other problems. It seems that this "Contact Service" is not really what its billed as.
Im just looking for someone who has this already setup to shine some light on my questions/concerns. I have scoured the internet for information, and either i'm looking in the wrong place or I just happen to have the WORST possible combination of OS X versions, server versions and so on. I would expect a company who charges such high prices for its products to design them to ACTUALLY WORK how they are advertised to work!
Thanks in advance and a thousand kudos to anybody that can help!!!
-John

That sounds like one viable option...
The only problem is that I'm not sure how that would behave once the client MBP's are taken off site and connect to the network over a VPN or something of that sort.
I figure since we have purchased the Server App and it contains the Contacts Service, I should try and get it to work that way (through that specific service on the server app).
I would really prefer to not have to install yet another piece of software just to do something that should already work (or have the ability to be configured to work). None of us here are "Power Users", and we are all learning as we go and I got the role of the "IT Guy" when it comes to setting everything up. I'm dealing with lifetime Windows users here, and I feel there is a need to keep everything literally as easy as possible to use.
I will keep your solution in the front of my mind though, as it sounds like that may work. I am not exactly 100% familiar with the OSX Server or the Mac OS yet, and I'm not positive where you would add the users (I couldn't just sit down and do what you suggested, i unfortunately would need a step by step solution so I don't fuss up our entire system).
If you feel like giving a step by step, that would be awesome just for future reference or for anyone else having similar problems. If not, I don't blame you at all.
Thanks for your reply, and if I find a clear-cut solution I will post it here!
Thanks,

Importing user email to server

Hey guys and gals.
I've got a client that is looking to move to a CRM based solution, encompassing email, contacts, and calendars. For this, he wants to use an application called ZoHo. Right now, I'm faced with a limitation in that ZoHo uses POP to access and import emails from his accounts. Generally this would be easy enough to deal with, except that my client is/has been using .mac/me/icloud email since it's inception. iCloud is IMAP only from what I can glean, and even then it looks like Apple blocks any kind of automated mechanism for exporting email off of their servers.
What I would like to do is configure a POP based mail server (on OSX Server, just so this is relevant) and pull his local MBOX file to populate a mail account on this server with.
1)Is this possible?
2)Is this going to screw up the addressing (I need to keep the to/from fields intact)
3)How do I accomplish this?
4)Is there a more elegant way to accomplish this task?

It's not clear why you need to get existing messages on clients onto the server, but if that really is what you need, use a combined POP/IMAP setup. Move the messages into IMAP mailboxes on the clients and they'll sync to the server. You can then re-serve them via POP, if that's the goal.

Want to use OSX server as virus/spam filter for existing mail server.

I have communigate pro completely configured and running on an iMac. hundreds of accounts, all working perfectly. The bummer is that the spam/virus filtering of Communigate Pro is weak, and I'd like to try the one built into my Xserve.
Right now I have the domain company.com, with two A records for mail.company.com (the communigate pro server) and xserve.company.com (the xserve). And right now the MX record for company.com points to mail.company.com.
I'd like to switch the MX record for company.com so that it points to xserve.company.com (which I know how to do). The xserve would then reject/delete/catch the spam/viruses and then forward on the remaining "good" messages to mail.company.com. The company.com clients would still get their mail from mail.company.com via Pop/Imap/Webmail.
Any and all help is truly appreciated!!!

imho... you may be over-complicating your system and adding additional points of failure to your architecture if you go this route.
Communigate Pro allows you to run both SpamAssassin 3 and Clamd (the main antivirus/antispamspam tools provided in OSX Server) very easily on your CGPro box.
MPP Free gives you a nice gui for configuring them.

Can I set up a Mac Pro as a server using OSX Server for my current Windows-based office?

I have a small business, and our office currently has a Windows-based network. I love my Mac and it's ease of use, and for now I have to use Remote Desktop to log on to my server, and then run my MRP/ERP business software from that. Is there an Apple solution (Mac Pro?) for my server, where other users could run parallels to access the MRP/ERP software? Thanks!

It is possible - even quite easy - to turn almost any current or recent model of Mac into a server by installing OS X Server. It is less clear, however, that this will do what you want.
What are the hardware and software requirements of your MRP/ERP software? If it will only run under Windows or any OS other than Mac OS X, then it will not work, and installing OS X Server will not change that.
You may be able to get the MRP/ERP software to run under Windows run on a Mac using Parallels or VMWare Fusion, but it would still be running under the Windows OS, just virtualized so that it runs inside the Mac OS. Thus it will not be any easier to use than your current system, and in fact may be harder, and might not work at all.
You could also run Windows under BootCamp, but again, while the Windows OS would be running natively, you lose any ease of use of the Mac OS.
Best of luck.

Importing user from standalone server

Hello. I am in the process of changing my server from standalone server to open directory. I was told that I will have to delete all the users in the local directory and the re-create them in open directory. I was wondering if anyone knows if this includes all the users, or just the ones I personally created (i.e. do I need to delete users who were always there, like ftp user). Also, does anyone know how to import the users to open directory instead of having to re-enter all of the information? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I never actually found out the answer to this, but I see that the original users are automatically in the search path, so I'm not worried about it anymore.

Lobby User using RADIUS Server in the NCS

Hello,
I need to know if i can use the RADIUS to classify users such as looby and specify in these users the SSID for the guest user and the time for connection like the local database in the NCS.
Actually i'm using the local database for lobby and i'd like to migrate to RADIUS database all these information.
Thanks.

Hello,
Yes, you could use RADIUS to authenticate lobby ambassador users. But the information like default WLAN & time period can't be passed as attributes using attributes.
As a work-around, you could create a local lobby admin account with the same username, define the lobby admin defaults locally. The user will be authenticated using RADIUS but the defaults would be picked up based on the definitions set locally in NCS.

Accidentally deleted "Directory Administrator" user in OSX Server (10.9.1)

I was under Users in the OS X Server and deleted the "Directory Administrator" account that was put there after configuring "Device Management" under Profile Manager. I made a new administor account that is a local account as well but was it the same as the (DA) account? How do I to make changes to the username and password on the "Directory Administator" account? Thanks for the help.

perhaps a bit extreme, but you can force the server to restart from a blank slate, by deleting the .ServerSetupDone file.
sudo rm /var/db/.ServerSetupDone
