or when it will be
thank you

If you need to, you can use these instructions to create a Mac OS X Server installation on an Intel Mac; before doing this, install all the available Mac OS X updates you want to, as you won't be able to install them afterwards.

Can the Mac Pro run Window XP (booth camp) and be used as a MAc OS server

Hi There
Can the Mac Pro run Window XP (booth camp) and be used as a MAc OS server in the same time?
I am a small business and I was thinking of using the new mac pro for a new workstation on my studio and to also use it as a server for 5 work others stations. Is that possible? Or I am asking a bit to much work load to do for the Mac Pro?
Can the Mac Pro can run under Window XP and Autocad and still be accessed by other workstation whilst working on the cad software? Is booth camp will slow the machine like Virtual PC?
IS the MAc Pro can manage file hosting website with PHP and mySQL capabilites?

Great question, but it appears the answer is no (at this time); they promise to work on it immediately. Check this thread at parallels.

Hi Kenneth,
Here for your case suggest you to configure RDP session time limit so that your user can disconnect\log off once the specific time limit reached.
You can setup the session time limit in different method.
1. Open the Server Manager, select Remote Desktop Services.
2. In Remote desktop Services, in right side you can drop down to collections.
3. Select the collection which you want to edit the settings.
4. Under collections Properties, select Task and then Edit Properties.
5. In Properties dialog box, select Session.
6. You can find all thetimeout settings under session collection properties; edit according to your requirements and then OK.
And apart also by group policy setting as below.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
- Set time limit for disconnected sessions
- Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions
- Set time limit for active Remote Desktop Services sessions
- End session when time limits are reached
Please check which setting suitable for your environment and you can apply for your case.

I am unable to create pdf using adobe printer to a redirected folder on a server running windows server 2003

I am unable to create pdf using adobe printer to a redirected folder on a server running windows server 2003

In the app-server-ant.xml file, as indiacted in the error message i am getting, at line 145 it is suppose to get the path to \bin\asadmin.bat from the value of a paramater called 'asadmin'. This value is being set in the beginning of the file.
The parameter value of 'asadmin' is further referring to value of another parameter called 'javaee.home' which is being set in tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/bp-project/build.properties
I have checked the values of both these parameters and they are set correctly, so since it is still giving me problems, at line 145 i hard coded the path instead of the parameter name:
I replaced line
<exec executable="${asadmin}" failonerror="${failonerror}" dir="${javaee.home}">
with
<exec executable="c:/sun/appserver/bin/asadmin.bat" failonerror="${failonerror}" dir="${javaee.home}">
This works.

I have an imac bought late 2013, can i use it as a display for the new mac pro running windows 8 through bootcamp?

No. Target Display mode is only supported when connected to a Mac running 10.6 or later.
It cannot be used with a PC, bootcamp, gamaing console, cable box, DVR or PowerPC Mac.

Can not get mac to run Windows Virtual PC

I tried to download VM 7 but I cannot get it to load. It says that I have downloaded it earlier today. I tried but was unsuccessful at downloading it. Is there any way of finding it with Finder so I can uninstall it?

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Mac users running Windows: Innoculate against spyware & virus

I hope this thread I'm going to start is appropriate to this discussion board. I have been a Mac user since 1989 and an Apple user before then. Never a Windows user.
With the new intel macs, I am now using Windows occassionally to run a program (Atlas.ti) that is only made for Windows. I'm using Parallels to rung Windows XP Pro (SP2)I have found, to my horror, that getting infected by spyware and adware is really easy on Windows machines. I rarely use the Windows side to browse but once in a while I do when I'm using Atlas.ti and mostly to sites that are reputable. Just by doing that, I've been infected with spyware that no free anti-spyware program can remove after the fact. Something called "Trojan.cm.small" or something like that. I don't have the exact name.
Because of those problems, I've had to re-create my virtual disk 3 times, each time getting smarter about how to use Windows machines. The following is my latest tip and I wanted to share it. If any of you have better tips, please post to the thread.
TIP BEGINS:
I’ve had to recreate my virtual disk at least three times, the last time being yesterday, thanks to spyware that none of the free spyware programmes could remove. They could detect it just fine but they couldn’t remove it. And get this, I rarely use Windows and hardly use it to browse on the internet but just the few minutes of browsing on the internet has caused me great problems.
What I did differently than the previous two re-installations is the following:
1. After (re)installing Windows, I immediately do Windows update and MADE SURE I did NOT browse to ANY other site. I allowed Windows to completely update itself include several restarts and multiple runs of updates.
2. After that’s done, I installed the following anti-spyware and anti-virus software. All were free except the virus software which was available free to users at my university:
a. Spybot Search & Destroy
b. Spyware Blaster
c. SpywareGuard
d. Windows Defender Beta
e. McAfee VirusScan
3. I installed these programmes one at a time and updated them and performed the appropriate setting changes before proceeding to install the remaining software.
I did a lot of research to determine which anti-spyware programmes to use and determined these were the best according to my research. You can do you own research and I think one of the best ways is to go to a reputable university’s website, type in “Spyware” and see how THEY tell their faculty and students to innoculate their computers against spyware. The sites I used were:
a. University of California, Santa Cruz
b. University of Calfiornia, Berkeley
c. Carnegie Mellon University
d. University of Illinois, Urbana-Champagne
I hope this tip helps Mac users. It’s only since moving to an Intel Mac did I start using Windows and I can’t believe how quickly my computer (the VM side) became infected. As I say, I had to re-install 3 times and each time I became wiser. I hope this is the last time I have to do a complete re-installation.
One last thing, after installing all those anti-spyware and anti-virus programmes, you might find that when installing your own software (in my case, Atlas.ti) might be a problem. It was for me so I ended up turning off all the anti-spyware programmes, installing Atlas.ti, then turning back on the anti-spyware programmes.
I can’t believe why the majority of computer users put up with such a crappy OS system! At least the Mac is my primary OS.

Also I really can't agree with you, when I run those
anti-spyware programs (about once a month) it usually
doesn't find ANY infections. Do you use Internet
Explorer by any chance? The infection rate with that
browser is significantly higher than with others
(Firefox, Opera, etc).
Yes, one of the problems was running Internet Explorer.
For any Mac user who is just using Windows for the first time, it is intuitive to use the built-in Internet Explorer browser, right? I mean, it should NOT be the problem of the user to determine that using Internet Explorer is a problem. But unfortunately, IE is a problem. Nevertheless, that's a backwards approach which seems a very Windows-centric way of doing things. Can't blame the user for not knowing and using Internet Explorer.
What I've resorted to now is running Internet Explorer only for Windows updates and other Microsoft websites that require it. Everything else I use Opera or Firefox.
By the way, an interesting new service from Microsoft is:

Don thank you for the reply.
But I do have the same issue on the other PCs as well on which WMI is good. And also i pointed the above PC to my primary WSUS server which is running windows 2003 and it reported successfully and downloaded the approved updates.

Exchange Server 2013 and Remote Access VPN on a single server running Windows Server 2012?

Just by way of background, I have been installing and administering network servers, e-mail systems, VPN servers, and the like for many years. However, my involvement with Exchange and Windows Server has been mostly on the forensics and data recovery
level, or as a (sophisticated) user. I have never tried to deploy either from scratch before. My deployment experiences have been mostly with Linux in recent years, and with small private or personal "servers" running such cutting edge
software as Windows XP back when it was new. And even NetWare once.
When a client asked me if I could set up a server for his business, running Exchange Server (since they really want Outlook with all of its bells and whistles to work, particularly calendars) and providing VPN access for a shared file store, I figured it
could not be too difficult given that its a small business, with only a few users, and nothing sophisticated in the way of requirements. For reasons that don't bear explaining here, he was not willing to use a vendor hosting Exchange services or cloud
storage. There is no internal network behind the server; it is intended to be a stand-alone server, hanging off a static IP address on the Internet, providing the entirely mobile work-force of about 10 people with Exchange-hosted e-mail for their computers
and phones, a secure file store, and not much else. If Exchange didn't need it, I would not need to install Active Directory, for example. We have no direct need for its services.
So I did the research and it appears, more by implication than outright assertion, that I should be able to run Windows Server 2012 with Exchange Server 2013 on a server that also hosts Remote Access (VPN only) and does nothing else. And it appears
I ought to be able to do it without virtualizing any of it. However, I have spent the last three or four days fighting one mysterious issue after another. I had Remote Access VPN working and fairly stable very quickly (although it takes a very
long time to become available after the server boots), and it has mostly remained reliable throughout although at times while installing Exchange it seems to have dropped out on me. But I've always been able to get it back after scrounging through the
logs to find out what is bothering it. I have occasionally, for a few minutes at a time, had Exchange Server willing to do everything it should do (although not always everything at the same time). At one point I even received a number of e-mails
on my BlackBerry that had been sent to my test account on the Exchange Server, and was able to send an e-mail from my BlackBerry to an outside account.
But then Exchange Server just stopped. There are messages stuck in the queues, among other issues, but the Exchange Administration Center refuses now to display anything (after I enter my Administrator password, I just get a blank screen, whether on
the server or remotely).
So, I am trying to avoid bothering all of you any more than I have to, but let me just begin with the basic question posed in the title: Can I run Exchange Server (and therefore Active Directory and all of its components) and Remote Access (VPN only) on
a single Windows Server 2012 server? And if so, do I have to run virtual machines (which will require adding more memory to the server, since I did not plan for it when I purchased it)? If it can be done, can anyone provide any pointers on what
the pitfalls are that may be causing my problems? I am happy to provide whatever additional information anyone might like to help figure it out.
Thanks!

An old thread but I ran into this issue and thought I share my solution since I ran into the same issue. Configuring VPN removes the HTTPS 443 binding on the Default Site in IIS for some strange reason; just go and editing the bindings, add HTTPS and things
should be back to normal.

We are planning to have a Mac Server, how windows PC can connect to Mac server?

We are planning to move to MAC operating systems, will use one of the mac as server. What is the possibility for Windows PCs to have access to Mac server?

Remote-control of a Mac server from Windows

What is the Apple recommended way to logging into a Mac Server from a Windows PC so that I can manage it? I have an iMac on my desk but that's for creating/testing images. My main PC is an HP laptop running Windows 7. I've got Real VNC setup but the number of times it just stops working and I have to reconnect is not funny. Logging in is a chore, too. 1st password to control screen, then login to server, VNC gets kicked out during screen refresh, have to enter 1st password again to get back in.
Is there an official RDP program like Windows has for managing Windows servers?

Hi
+"What is the Apple recommended way to logging into a Mac Server from a Windows PC"+
AFAIK there isn't one? Why would there be? Putting the shoe on the other foot Microsoft offers RDC for mac to control PCs. I don't see anything on the site stating it's the 'recommended' way?
+"Is there an official RDP program like Windows has for managing Windows servers?"+
Yes. It's called Apple Remote Desktop. You can't install it on a PC. Since 10.5 VNC Server and Client are 'built-in' for Server and Client OS as you already know. The protocol is actually VNC. RDP is Microsoft's proprietary name for it.
I've never had problems controlling any mac (server or client) using TightVNC, RealVNC or UltraVNC - there are others you could use and experiment with? Depending on the Windows OS and network environment you may have to experiment with all three before settling on one that works consistently. Perhaps the problems you're having are due to a misconfiguration? On the mac side enable Remote Management - not Screen Sharing. Go into the VNC options and enable the "Control Screen with Password Setting". Create a password but don't make it the same as the Administrator one.
AFAIK the logging in behaviour you describe is normal in my experience. I've not found it a chore on either a platform.
HTH?

Remote control a Mac server from Windows machines

I'm running a Mavericks Server that I'd like to get off my desk and put in the data center. However, my primary laptop is a Windows 8.1 laptop that I use to support other things. I'd still like the ability to remote into the Mac Server from my Windows laptop. I know that I can VNC into the server, but it's my understanding that if I have Remote Management turned on, I can't have Screen Sharing (and thus, VNC) turned on. So it seems like my options are to run another VNC server on a different port or use LogMeIn Ignition. But I'm not sure what other people are using so I'd like your help. Thoughts? Suggestions?
TIA

As you have found via the answer provided by Morgan R, it is possible to configure Remote Management to allow standard VNC clients to connect just like it is possible with Screen Sharing.
Note: Remote Management does everything Screen Sharing does plug other things. So anything you can do via Screen Sharing you can do via Remote Management.
However there is a client available for Windows that does support the extended login information used by Remote Management/Screen Sharing, this is 'Remotix' by Nulana.
See http://www.nulana.com/remotix-windows/
I have tried it and it does work. I did however find one serious bug which I have reported to them but I don't know if they have fixed it yet.
Over the years I have found many in fact nearly all software that involves linking Mac and Windows where one controls the other in either direction has suffered an inexcusable bug whereby if you are not using US keyboards at both ends then several keys will not be mapped properly and you can even end up with some keys not usable at all. The most infamous combination is the @ and " keys being swapped.
All these programs appear to have been written by Americans who are members of the 'flat earth' society and obviously believe that if you leave the shores of the USA you will fall of the edge of the world. I presume they also are avid fans of the Discworld series of books.
Offenders include Virtual PC, Microsoft Remote Desktop Client 1.0 (for Mac), Timbkutu Pro, Remotix and I am sure many others.
Note: Microsoft did at least fix theirs several years later with Remote Desktop Client 2.0 (for Mac).
The one noteable exception is VNC. VNC was originally developed at AT&T Laboratories in Cambridge, England. (Not New England.)
See http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/vnc/ I am sure if it had been developed in Cambridge, Massachusetts it would have suffered the same problem. Since Screen Sharing on Macs is based on VNC it has never suffered this problem even when controlling a PC via VNC. I am therefore even more shocked that Nulana managed to make this mistake.

Bridge Mac server with Windows possible?

Hello Everyone,
Well I was tossed a big issue on my lap. Our servers are running Windows Server 2003 with a domain name of nt_domain which you could tell off the back it has an invaild character with the _ . A gentlemen before me found a bandaid of using this program called Likewise which allowed the Mac's to join the domain with the illegal character. He left me with an image of 10.7 with the Mac already configured. Well the new iMac's do not support 10.7 which my image is now worthless and 10.8 doesnt seem to like the Likewise program. The program gets an error when trying to join the domain and completely locks me out of the Mac and I mean LOCKS ME OUT because no reset password method works which forces me to reload the OS. I have no idea what to do because our network team doesn't seem to care about the issue so they will no change the domain name. We have a Mac Server 10.6 and I was told that I could make my own domain on the server and bridge it to the Windows domain so the users could still have access to the network drives. Any suggestions????
Thanks

You probably have inadvertently set up SACL's.
In server admin
Select the server.
Click the Access button at the top.
Click the services button.
Make sure that all services are available for all users.
Or if you're keen, make sure that you have allowed access to SMB for the users in question.

Mac Pro Running Windows XP in Bootcamp with AIM 6.5 Can't Connect to iChat

I'm running Windows XP on my Mac Pro under Bootcamp. The Windows firewall is turned off (I'm running McAfee, and using it's firewall).
I am trying to talk to a friend who is using iChat on a Mac - I am using AIM 6.5 on my Mac running Windows. The connection fails as soon as iChat attempts to answer.
Mac OS 10.4.10
Bootcamp 1.4 (beta)
Windows XP
McAfee 7.2
iChat 3.1.8
Airport Express
I have set up McAfee to allow TCP and UDP connections over ports 2869 (TCP) and 1900 (UDP).
I have also disabled McAfee, and tried to use the Windows firewall settings discussed frequently in this forum (with appropriate exceptions). This also fails.
I have also tried to doing this under my Mac OS X bootup running PARALLELS. This worked once, but I have not been able to repeat it (McAfee was running when it worked).
iChat works great on my Mac under OS X. This is only a problem in Windows XP under Bootcamp.
I cannot connect to appleu3test01 either (under Bootcamp with XP). I can connect to appleu3test01 no problem running iChat on my Mac.
Might this be a Bootcamp related problem? Can anyone else test this for me (i.e. can someone try to use AIM 6.5 from Windows XP under Bootcamp)???
Thanks!

Hi Ralph,
{quote}If the Firewall was On I would ask if you had set it up as an Exception
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html#_Service{quote}
Yes, this is what I meant by,
{quote}I have also disabled McAfee, and tried to use the Windows firewall settings discussed frequently in this forum (with appropriate exceptions). This also fails.{quote}
I've noticed that you've posted solutions frequently in this forum. I read your posts, and visited your website. Its great information ... thanks for posting it! However, it didn't help me to resolve this particular problem.
You asked,
{quote}The question now becomes have you allowed it through McAfee ?{quote}
I tried resolving the problem with McAfee "ON" and "OFF". When it was "OFF" I Set the Windows firewall up per your instructions. Unfortunately, it didn't help. And yes, this includes setting up the "exceptions."
I don't think the problem is with McAfee.
You stated,
{quote}Having said that and seeing you have tried combos around this issue I would have to point out the AIM site says AIM 6.5 will only Video with other AIM applications. It has been reported here though that it does work with iChat{quote}
Yes, I have read that AIM 6.5 will communicate with iChat on several forums. Lots of people appear to have this working. I wish to use iChat on my Mac to communicate with friends running Windows XP (or Vista) using AIM 6.5. I like iChat.
Finally, you asked,
{quote}Next I would have to ask if the modem or router is allowing the AIM application ?{quote}
This is a very good question. I have not been able to test this. I couldn't find an AIM "test" address to use (like Apple's appleu3test01). Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help Ralph. This configuration is a little bit unusual, but it should work. I think the problem might be with the AIM configuration as you've suggested. I will continue to troubleshoot and report any findings here.

New iPod running Mac - I run Windows (how can I convert)

I have just got a new (secondhand for a mate) iPod Classic and it has arrived already loaded with music and TBH I would like to keep it (over 5000 tracks) but the problems is when I plug it into my iTunes account it wants to clear all the music, it is set in a Mac format and I'm running my account through Windows.
question is "Can I convert all the music from a Mac format into Windows and not lose all the music?
Cheers

Hello Rochey30,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Not without the help of some third party software such as XPlay or Macdrive. These both come at a cost.
Otherwise, no. Sorry.
