Lion's Software Update to slow when connecting to a Snow Leopard Server

Hello…
I have some problems with the Lion's Software Update.
I try to make them by our server (10.6.8). The server's conf has been updated as explain in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4771
After doing that the server has downloaded all Lion updates.
When I try to connect with my Lion installed Mac Book Pro, the Software update window appears, but seem to be stuck…
I've made the test on an Lion installed iMac 27, everything was fine. :/
Here ars the Software Update service's logs: apparently connection is all right.
10.24.24.250 - - [19/Oct/2011:13:40:00 +0200] 80 GET "/index.sucatalog" 200 1474827 "-" "Mise%20%C3%A0%20jour%20de%20logiciels/352 CFNetwork/520.2.5 Darwin/11.2.0 (x86_64) (MacBookPro5%2C4)"
Can somebody help me?

you don't need to import users from SL server to lion if your binding to your SL OD master
the SL OD master users and groups will show in profile manager
lion server has to be OD master to use profile manager, you'll end up with 2 masters the SL server
and lion. unless your planing on migrating the SL server to lion
what I'm currently using,  lion OD master is bound  the SL OD master with out username and password 
SL server OD master users and groups also appear in WGM on lion server
sorry I quite don't understand why you'd want to import users from SL into lion
you'd end up with having to keep to OD's in sync with passwords and users
which kinda defeats the purpuse of having one point for authentication??
if you just want to test lion an a separate LAN you could try exporting users and groups computers from SL
and importing in lion, you'd lose the user passwords
you could still test lion proile manager without importing users just as you've done
if you've setup everything correctly and joined the SL OD master from the lion OD master users should appear in WGM and profile manger. in my case I jioned the Lion server to the SL OD master before setting up lion profile manager, OD master etc.

  • 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

  • Run Snow Leopard Server on Mountain Lion?

    Greetings!
    I wondered if some kind person could post at least a link to a walk-through guide as I keep getting Guru Meditation errors when trying to install Snow Leopard Server 10.6.3 on Mountain Lion 10.8.5.
    I am currently running virtual box 4.3.14 and Mountain Lion 10.8.5 as my host OS.
    Thank you in advance…
    CK

    There is not a link as Apple does not support doing this.  However, some have succeeded by installing Parallels (you have to purchase it) and then installing Snow Leopard Server to run under Parallels.  If your MacBook Pro came with Mountain Lion preinstalled, you cannot run a lower version of Mac OS X by itself.  It has to be the server version and running under Parallels. 
    Look at the bottom of this page under More Like This for some threads that deal with the approach you need to follow.

  • Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud.

    Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud and never will be able to.

    That is true - I apologize for not being specific - what I was mainly referring to is iLife applications. I have a notice on the App Store that says 3 apps need updates, I look at the apps and they are huge so since my connection is so slow I use my work connection and d'load the files from support to my Windows machine and carry them home, once d'loaded my MacAir states it cannot install, the update must come from the App Store.
    I do the same thing for large Leopard and Lion files and I can install them without error, it is just the App Store files that the system stops.

  • SnowLeopard Server not providing Lion clients software updates

    Hi everyone,
    I've seen countless threads with the same problem and there doesn't seem to be any response whatsoever from Apple on this issue so I'm hoping someone else can shed some light on this issue..
    I configured my Snow Leopard Server (10.6.8) to provide Lion client updates on my network as per the instructions and it's just not working!
    My Lion clients are currently running 10.7 and I'm looking to get them updated as quickly as possible. If I cant resolve this I'll be putting them back to Snow Leopard - I knew I'd regret installing Lion!

    On my clients I am receiving the following:
    The Software Update Server (sus.domain.com) is not responding.
    Check to make sure your network connection is operating normally. If there are no issues with your connection, contact your network administrator for assistance.
    And if I look on Server Admin, searching for "10.7" none of those updates are copied/enabled and I can't see any OS Combo Updates?!? This has been set-up for a few days now and still nothing.
    If I try to access the sucatalog url in a browser I receive a 403, forbidden error. If I do the same for say the snowleopard catalog URL I am able to view the catalog.. Permission error somewhere perhaps? Although I'm more inclined to believe that I'm unable to view the contents of this file as there are simply no 10.7 updates in the sus repository.
    Oh! and it's worth mentioning that Snow Leopard clients are able to make use of the Software Update Server..
    Appreciate any input
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I'm really sorry but because it was a while back I can't quite remember. I should have posted it in my response above, I hate when people don't do that!
    If you need me to check any of my particular config I'd be more than happy to have a look

    Open "Java Preferences" either from spotlight or your utilities folder...it's probably going to say you need to install a java runtime. Then just click install!

    Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

    Hi! Has anybody succeeded in using Presonus Audio box 22 vsl with Os Mountain Lion? They doesn´t seem to connect.

    In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
    Would that work out for you?

  • Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software update, startup disk, iCloud, etc. no longer will launch. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use. No go!

    Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software Update, Startup Disk, iCloud, Time Machine, Notifications, etc. no longer will launch even though they do show their icons in the system preferences window. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use with a "Cancel" or "OK" choice. After I click on "OK" the window just keeps reappearing with the same choices and the pane I wish to use still remains inoperative. Third party preference panes DO work.
    Reinstalling OSX Mountain Lion did not help. Neither did throwing away preferences.plist.

    Hi Jeff,
    Tried to reply with my iPhone but not easy! Anyway, back on the laptop now. Yes the crash was bad but Tek support at Prism Sound was really good. In the end I rebuilt the whole system on a new disk which took a couple of days with all the plugins, softsynths etc.... but there seemed to be no alternative in my case, and this was agreed with Prism sound as being the only alternative left to me. I still don't really know what caused the crash but ML and Orpheus are both working fine now. Let's face it, you'll have to update at sometime..maybe best to pick some time between projects On balance, I suspect that my problems were unique to my system and that your installation will go ok.
    Hope it goes well,
    Rick

  • Software Update, `Daily' preference, when?

    (I've searched the Tiger forums for '"Software Update" AND daily' and found 29 articles, but none which answer my following questions.)
    I have (Check for Software Updates) `Daily' set in my Software Updates preferences. When does the check take place, please? If my Mac is switched off at the time of the check, will it take place immediately I next switch the Mac on (will it catchup)? I find rather too often that when I start 'Software Update' by hand - several minutes after switching the Mac on - it finds software updates to apply. Do I have to leave my Mac on all the time for it to be kept up to date?
    How can Software Update work automatically when I am not present to give the Administrator password? (Even if I have left myself logged in, my normal user account deliberately does not have Administrator privileges.) Does Mac OS X put the usual dialogue box up asking for authorisation for an Administrator action, and just wait for me to appear? (If the update is instead applied without my assent, what if a reboot is necessary and I have unsaved documents etc?) I've never seen an automatic update happen, to my knowledge. Shouldn't I be told (by dialogue box) next time I log in, rather than having to look in the list of software updates each time I do so?
    I've read the Apple Support article "Mac OS X 10.4 Help - Updating Your Software" and the `Related documents' and they have nothing to say on these matters. See:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh292.html

    Hi jamurdie!
    I can't tell you the exact time either. However I believe it's related to the starting up of your computer. So for example if you're computer was off for the past few days then Software Update would read it's plist and know that it's time to check...
    There really aren't that many updates to be honest if you have everything current. I don't think there's an update once a week and you're not really waiting for critical security updates so much like on a pc. Software update will contact the server to know if an update is available...if so it will tell you and once you want to continue you will be asked for a password. Even if you're on an admin account you need to put a password.
    Personally I have mine set on weekly and not to automatically download in the background. And every now and then I check it manually too. I don't think I ever miss a recent update by more than a day or two at the most. Not to mention I frequent site such as macrumors.com which always include a post when an update is released as well...
    Not sure that completely answers your question but hope it helps a little...

  • Software Update App won't connect via Airport

    In my main admin account, the Software Update App will not connect to the network over Airport. It will connect using a wired connection and will connect from a different account. It seems that something in this admin account is broken, but I cannot find a solution. I have upgraded to OS X 10.5.1(Archive and Install) and have installed all the latest updates via the wired connection. Everything else including Safari, Mail, and iChat seem to work fine. I cannot find any solution in the discussions for this particular problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
