Leopard server and windows users

We run a mac + pc environment with some users on macs, many on pcs, and our office server is a windows exchange for email etc. As a multi-location consulting firm, we need to set up a good collaboration system that is hosted internally (to preserve confidentiality) and allows us to create a web-based knowledge creation, sharing and collaboration environment. We have looked at some of the new web services offers, but all are hosted by the providers.
We are considering buying a mac leopard server and have the following questions:
1/ will windows users be able to use the wiki, chat, calendaring and podcast facilities from their laptops without any problems, and will they have the same easy user interface?
2/ does the wiki server enable group collaboration like:
2a/ sending out email notifications on new posts (without changing our exchange server)
2b/ allowing groups to create project and team specific areas
3/ The problem we face is one of adoption. If we can make this as easy as facebook, then lots of people will migrate within 48 hours. But is this possible with the leopard server?
4/ finally, we are based in Singapore and our offices are all in Asia? Do we need a lot of experienced Apple-savvy technical people to create any of these applications, or is leopard server as easy to use as a mac is for a home user?
Any thoughts or inputs would help. FYI, alternatives we are evaluating are jive software's clearspace or basecamp or zoho's web based suites.
thanks / Suresh

Yes, the web based interfaces work just fine for both OS's, the chat server is using jabber (clients on about every OS) and the calendaring is using the standards based iCalendar format.
2/ does the wiki server enable group collaboration like:
2a/ sending out email notifications on new posts (without changing our exchange server)

I don't know of functionality to send out e-mail notifications on new posts, but you can subscribe to RSS feeds of things posted in the blog section of the wiki server. I'd need a little bit more information to understand what you're looking for as far as creating project and team specific areas.
3/ The problem we face is one of adoption. If we can make this as easy as facebook, then lots of people will migrate within 48 hours. But is this possible with the leopard server?
On the front end most of this stuff is very easy to use, and is in my opinion even simpler than facebook and such.
4/ finally, we are based in Singapore and our offices are all in Asia? Do we need a lot of experienced Apple-savvy technical people to create any of these applications, or is leopard server as easy to use as a mac is for a home user?
It's pretty easy to set the server up as long as you read the documentation. There's also a lot of resources online if you have problems (like this forum). It would probably be helpful to have someone familiar with LDAP systems and at least some command line usage on the server, but like I said, the documentation is pretty good. You can go read it to get an idea at http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/
Hope that helps out some.

OS X Snow Leopard Server and Windows Machines

Hello! My wife's company is using Windows on a network. Is it possible to use a Mac server to control these? They will be eventually switching over, but are stuck with windows for the time being. We are hoping not to have to buy a windows server because they will be switching to Mac anyways. Am I making any sense?

Not a ton But to answer what I believe is your question. OS X Server can run as a Primary Domain Controller. This is not the same as an Active Directory domain controller. However, for many environments running pre Windows 7, this means that OS X Server can act as the sole directory container and all workstations (Windows, Mac, many flavors of Linux) can be bound into the OS X Server for single directory management. By the way, the community appears to have found a way to join Win 7 systems as well.
However, the easiest way of doing this may be to keep your Windows servers and move to Mac clients. Some of the questions that you need to be asking is will OS X Server be able to replace all the features currently in use on the Windows machine? How are you accounting for groupware, backup, disaster recovery, etc? Have you evaluated all of your software needs? Have you looking into physical security and data protection?
The rage is to go Mac. But it is not a panacea. Mac systems require the same amount of thought and consideration in design that a Windows environment does. Do you generally have fewer issues with Macs... sure. But don't think that everything will just magically work because there is an Apple logo on it.

I transferred files from a NAS server to the Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server and now some of the files have Custom Access and can't be opened by some users. How do I fix this?

We're setting up our Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, and in the process transferred files that had been stored and accessed from our Blackarmor NAS server over to the Mac. These files were all created on PC's and are Office Excel files, WordPerfect files or PDF's. When you look at the files on the Mac from the Mac and bring up Get Info for the affected file, it says that the file has Custom Access. The files that work properly don't have that configuration. I can access and open the files on some computers, but some users can't open the files from their computer even though they can see it. We're all using PC's and they get the Error: Access Denied-Contact your administrator--or something similar. I've seen on the web similar issues and it may have something to do with ACL permissions. I don't know enough about Mac OS to understand this, but what is baffling is that they can be opened from some PC's but not others, and all of the Users have the same accessibility to the files. Thanks for a solution!!

Best Practice - Leopard Server and a Windows Server/Application

Our family owns an accounting practice in Northern California. We all use MacBook Pros running Leopard as our client machines.
Our customers all use QuickBooks for Windows for their accounting software. We currently host and store our customer's QuickBooks company files on a Windows 2003 SBS Server. Our staff connects to the Windows Server to launch QuickBooks and perform our accounting services. We do not use any of the features of the Windows Server besides the ability to log in with multiple user sessions to launch QuickBooks from both internal and remote office locations.
Since we all use MacBook Pros, we'd like to use Leopard Server and implement mail, calendaring, wikis, etc. My dilemma is figuring out if this is technically possible because we need to continue to log into a Windows PC, Server, etc with multiple staff's sessions to perform our accounting services with QuickBooks for Windows.
Can someone suggest a way we can do this? I'm not very technical since I am an accountant! We're hoping this can be done somehow!
Thanks for any suggestion and assistance!
John

We also have Quickbooks as our legacy Windows app.
Quickbooks files for several companies are stored on our Mac OS X Server, which is accessed by a Windows 2003 Server.
I considered using Parallels or VMware, but the administrative overhead seam excessive. (One installation of Windows is too many). Windows Terminal Services seamed the best fit. Additional client access licenses were required from Microsoft as Windows Server only comes with two administrative RDP licenses.
Our staff and staff from accounting and tax consulting firms connect to Quickbooks on the Windows server via RDP. Internally, we have a couple of diskless thin clients, and iMacs with RDP software installed. Externally, both Windows and Mac OS X clients connect to our 10.5 server IPSec VPN, and then to the Windows server, again via RDP.
Performance is acceptable, as here in Australia we now have ADSL service with 1-2Mbps upstream. On my 23" display (Mac OS X 10.5), situated 1200miles away, a RDP connection at 1280x1024 works seamlessly.
On the Mac Server side, we have recently upgraded to Leopard Server, and thus haven't implmented all the fabulous new features such as calendar sharing and wikis, but we are using network spotlight, and of course the Mail server. Additionally, we have a Fujitsu SnapScan which scans documents that are then automatically OCR'd, and made available by network spotlight. All very cool.
Further work to be undertaken;
- Have the Windows server logins authenticate with our Mac OS X Open Directory. Currently account credentials are duplicated.
- Implement public key cryptography for the VPN, so that we can revoke individual client VPN installations
- Implement two factor authentication (probably CryptoCard)
- Batten down the permissions on the Windows server. The default Quickbooks installation required an unacceptable level of user rights.

Os x serve 4 and windows users

Hello,
just migrated one of my servers to Yosemite 10.10.1 and Server 4.0.
the objective is a share files between mac and windows users within a group (meaning all of them can see, read and write all files within the sharepoint).
the directory is shared with AFP and SMB, the group of users has read/write access on the directory (users and group are managed in OD).
I added ACLs on the directory : the group of users is full control on the sharepoint. And I propageted all permissions to subfolders and files.
Everything works fine for Mac users, but not for Windows users : when they open a file they got a message saying that the file is already opened by an another application. Same issue if the windows user write a new file on the server.
If i look at the permission on a subfolder, there is the full control for the group. If I look at a file (whatever from a mac or windows), there is a special access.
I think the problem is there, but how to solve.
Does somebody knows any magic command line to force propagation of ACL and permissions to files ? or any tips to solve that issue ?
Thanks for any help
Regards, Thomas

Hi
OK I have tried pritty much all the suggestions so far...the MAC has no problem connecting to the PC (there's no surprise! - it worked straight away but the PC cannot connect to the mac - here's what happens:
I have the correct IP address and when I enter in the IP address and my short username, the PC prompts me with a username and password box as you would expect...but when I enter in the details, it just throws up another username and password dialog box and has changed the username to PCCOMPUTER/the-username-I-just-entered - so I click ok again, and it just throws the dialog box up again. I feel like I am so close, yet so far to connecting the PC to the Mac - it seems to get stuck in a loop at the last moment. Any ideas what could solve the problem?
It doesn't seem to be a firewall problem as I turned them all off - and still got the same problem.
Any other ideas?

Snow Leopard Server and FCServer

Hi.
I'm running FCServer on an iMac, and I'm currently looking for the best solution for giving co-workers outside of our office network remote access to our FCS database. The main purpose for this is for remote users to screen and download episode segments and movies from our database.
I was initially thinking VPN would be the only solution, but then I saw Snow Leopard Server has 'Mobile Access Server' built right into the OS, which appears designed to help users avoid having to use a VPN.
Before I go out and buy SLS for the company, I want to be sure it will work. Am I correct that Snow Leopard Server, and the built-in Mobile Access Server, will allow users outside of our network remote access to our FCSrvr database?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if this question is better suited for a different forum please let me know as well.
Thank you!

Hmmm... Thanks for the replies.
I posted this question in the OS X Server forum and got this response:
+"I haven't used Final Cut Server, but I'm pretty sure the Mobile Access Server wouldn't work with it. MAS works with plain HTTP, and the Address Book, iCal, and Mail (SMTP and IMAP) services; but FCServer is only partly HTTP-based, and I don't think even the HTTP part will work due to how MAS authenticates HTTP clients. Also, you might be thinking about using MAS as the same computer as FCServer, and it won't work that way -- MAS needs to be on a separate (internet-facing) computer from the actual origin server (which should be firewalled from the internet).+
+I'd go back to thinking about VPN... "+
Can anyone offer any more insight into this for me? I'm just an audio/video post-production guy, so this is all a little outside of my training.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Forms Authentication Error: User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed

I created a custom security extension following the steps listed in the Readme_Security Extension Sample. It works fine if I login as the user that is specified AdminConfiguration section of the rsreportserver.config file but if I
log in as another user, I get this error: User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed. I've added the user to both System Administrator
and System User roles to try to get it to work but still no luck.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi MetronM,
The issue is due to that user have no permission to access the report server. In report manager, Reporting Services includes predefined roles that we can assign to users and groups to provide immediate access to a report server. Each role defines a collection
of related tasks.
You can refer to the following steps to assign corresponding role to the user.
Open report manager.
Click “Folder Setting” button.
Click “New Role Assignment” icon.
Type the user name and select the corresponding role.
There is an article about Granting Permissions on a Native Mode Report Server, you can refer to it.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

When baltwosaid NO emphatically, that was described as CORRECT ANSWER. Ditto in the caeses of the radically different answers from Camelotand Matt Clifton
Could it be that CORRECT ANSWER needs better defining by Apple?
That apart, yes, switching might involve rebooting. About the voices, well, I was the other day adding voice to a commentary in a video I was working on. There's only American English accent in SL — Lion I believe has British ones as well.
Why not, I wondered, try to install Lion purely for academic interest, maybe with an SD card (Sandisk Ultra II, 16GB) as Tom Nelson says is possible at http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/ss/Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Lion-On-Your-Mac.htm

SQUIRRELLY Leopard Server and Unable to Backup using Anything!

I upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5.2 Leopard server, and am having some difficulties that I can't resolve.
The server is running on an Intel dual core MacMini, and is primarily used for email. It isn't serving any webpages at the moment. The install was "from scratch" and not some kind of upgrade; only the mail was moved over from the previous server using Mail BFR.
I have been unable to backup the server in any way. I have tried:
• Superduper (2.5) which is how I backed up the previous server without problem
• Carbon Copy Clone
and now
• Time Machine
The first two would run about 2/3 the way thru, and the computer would "freeze" (mouse activity but nothing would work, required hard reset to recover). No logs available as the problem does not leave anything showing the problem.
Time Machine was tried today, and it ran about 1/2 the server (only 18GB) and kernel panic resulted (log below).
Tried all the usual troubleshooting methods; rebuild permissions, ran deep-cleaning, etc.
I hate to have to restart the whole process from scratch.
Thanks

That is definitely the intended operation sorry, this is done so that if you have encrypted the device no one can just plug your phone into a PC and pull all the data off.

Big Project: Upgrade to Snow Leopard Server and new drive

Hi guys, with my early 09 Mac Pro (with maxed RAM) I need some advice. I am a guy who sticks with things for a long time, cautious about change, and likes consistency.
So, I have a copy of Snow Leopard SERVER I want to install from scratch. I also have 4 WD 1tb black caviar drives I want install -- replacing the current startup 640 gb drive. How would I best accomplish the backup of my current data on this smaller drive and then restore it onto the new 1tb drive?
I give you the following objectives I have for the use of these 1tb drives on the system and would appreciate any other advice you might have to offer.
1) I envision using two of the drives as primary, and the other two as backups using TimeMachine.
2) I would like to have the following partitions on the startup drive (#1).
a)one boot partition for installation of Server OS and Application programs.
b)one boot partition for future Mac OS installations.
c)one data partition to house the /Users filesystem - 4 named users in household who share two macbooks.
d)one or more partitions for separate deployments of Guest OSes for XP, Window 7, etc. using Parallels.
3) As far as partition sizes, I am thinking 50 Gb for each of the MacOS bootables and apps, 100 Gb for the Guest OSes. Leaving about 500 or 600 Gb for /Users, including an iTunes library, and the wife's scrapbooking.
4)Ok, drive #2. I want this drive dedicated to demanding storage needs of video.
5)Drive #3. TimeMachine Backup for Drive #1.
6)Drive #4. TimeMachine Backup for Drive #2.
Thoughts? I appreciate your questions and critique on my outline here.
Thanks much!

Off load /users to another hard drive
don't use internal drives for TimeMachine, especially both. Safer to be external. And if internal, use extra drive sleds.
Depending on what you use it for, the 640 might be fine. Maybe use it as a bootable clone though.

Leopard, Leopard server, and time machine.

Okay. First of all, I spent about 30 minutes searching through all the time machine questions here and found nothing like it so I'm sorry if its a duplicate question, but it does seem rather unique.
I have an XServe G5 running leopard server with an 8TB external firewire 800 RAID array that was purpose purchased to act as a time machine backup destination for about 8 machines.
XServe has that drive set up to be the backup destination, everything there is OK.
Here is what happens on the OSX Leopard machines when I go to backup:
1. I open Time Machine preferences.
2. I click on the "Choose Backup Disk..." button.
3. It thinks for about 10 seconds
4. It brings up a list of about 3 possible destinations. I select the one I want "Backups (XServe G5)"
5. I press the gleaming "Use For Backup" Button.
6. It asks for the users name and password. Type away.
7. It comes back to the 'Time Machine Preferences" window. The little on/off switch turned off, and we're back at the "Choose Backup Disk...." button.
This occurs on each machine I wish to backup, be they Mac Pros, or macbooks.
Help?

Ladies and gentlemen, I have the answer.
I stumbled across this accidentally when I was playing desperately in the Finder trying to get some inspiration about this issue.
The problem doesn't lie in the clients... it lies in the Server.
Here is my solution:
1. In the finder, right-click on the external drive, and select "Get Info".
2. Under "General", there should be 2 little check boxes, "Shared Folder" and "Locked".
3. Click on "Shared Folder" to put an X in it.
Thats it!
For some reason Time Machine setup didn't share the folder and so the client machines recognised it as a shared time machine backup source, but couldn't actually find it on the network because it wasn't shared.
Have fun ladies and gentlemen!!

Yosemite Server and Windows 8.1... I know I know

Windows 8.1 Pro (Bootcamped) suddenly can no longer access Mac server file share. See below for details.
Here is the set up in our small office: Several MacBooks, two iMacs, and a new MacMini running OS X Server (with some file shares). Everything is running Yosemite. Because of the software we use, we are also running Windows 8.1 in bootcamp on most of the machines. I know, kind of a convoluted set-up, but it has actually been working great... until yesterday. For some reason, the MacMini stalled, black screened and had to be restarted. During this time we all lost access to the server. When we restarted everything, most people could access the server from their systems with no issues (access from the Bootcamped Windows side) except for me of course.
Previously I had full access and no issues. I was initially getting the "invalid path" error. That went away after restarting again, and now I can see the server but I get "invalid username or password". The thing is, that it's not invalid. And it was working literally an hour before this happened. Also, no other user can log in from my machine with their working username and password. And as I said everyone else can access it just fine from their machines.
The only difference I can think of is that I have Windows 8.1 Pro - and everyone else just has Windows 8.1.
Things tried:
-Restarting everything multiple times
-Changing username and password on Mac Server side
-Messing with network security policy settings
-Renaming PC
-Spent hours researching networking issues on forums
I know networking between Mac and Windows can be challenging, but we seemed to have it working smoothly. My suspicion is that something needs to happen on the Mac side, but I'm not sure what. If anyone has any ideas at all it would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

10.8.4 (server) and windows file sharing problem

Hello
This is a clean install of 10.8.4 and server apps not and upgrade of 10.5.8
(This server had a working 10.5.8 server install.... sigh!)
AFP, SMB and guest access enabled on all shares
Guest sharing enabled in the User accounts in System prefences.
from any Mac station AFP:// and SMB:// works fine using Guest access or typing in any name.
No Windows station ( Win 7, XP, SRV 2008 ) can connect to the shares successfully.
Tried from stations that are part a local domain and others who are just in a WGRP
When attempting to connect to the Mac server shares the log in window appears and
no matter what is typed in ( Even the Mac server admin account) or guest
the connection fails
Error: is not accessible, you might not have permission to use this network resource
the remote procedure call failed

I'm actually having the same issues as Shawn. No non-Mac computers can connect to the new Mac Pro server (10.8.4) using SMB. Mac users can use SMB or AFP without issue.
Here's a screenshot of the message Windows users are seeing:
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to get this fixed? This is urgent!
