Lion Server and 10.5 Clients....

We're just setup a new Lion Server as OD Master and imported our users from our old OD using the "Restore" function within Server Admin.
My test Lion client can login fine using a network account but when I try the same account from a 10.5 client I get the following error:
You are unable to log in to the the user account "breilly"  at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred.
When I checked the console logs I found this error:
11/08/2011 14:21:02 authorizationhost[318] ERROR | -[HomeDirMounter mountNetworkHomeWithURL:attributes:dirPath:username:] | PremountHomeDirectoryWithAuthentication( url=afp://ncs-mac-od1.ncs.local/Staffhomes, homedir=/Network/Servers/ncs-mac-od1.ncs.local/Staffhomes/breilly, name=breilly ) returned 2
It seems very odd that I can log in on a Lion client but not a 10.5 client
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a simple way for unmanaged clients.
To point an unmanaged client to your update server, enter the following command in terminal:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://<your_server>:8088/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
(replace <your_server> with the dns name of your update server.  If the unmanaged client runs snowleopard or leopard, adjust the url accordingly. For snowleopard clients, remove the "lion-" part. For leopard clients, remove the "lion-snowleopard-" part

  • Mountain Lion server and windows 7 clients

    Hi guys!
    I have a MacMini Server (with OS X 10.8.3 server). Several clients connect to the server everyday. And weird thing is happend. I cannot delete any folder when I am logged on with Windows 7 (it's ultimate one). Every users can do 'Read & Write' and I can delete the same folder with Mac OS X (With Same user account, even it's not admin)
    The only condition that I can delete forders is.....
    1. The folders have to be made by the users who create.
    2. Without logging out (After log out and re-log in, I can't delete even I made the folder)
    I don't know why it's happening. Is there any suggetions that I can try for this issue?
    Thank you! Have a nice day!

  • Creating a simpel network with Lion Server, and add Windows XP computers to it

    We have a Mac Lion Server and 3 computers with Windows XP. Previously we had a Windows 2003 server with a domain name: "MYDOMAIN". When logging into Windows it logs into this domain.
    I would like to replace this Windows 2003 server with my new Mac Lion server so, I build up a test setup. I connected the Mac Lion server (iMac) with my Windows XP pc with an ethernet cable. Then, I setup a DHCP, DNS and Open directory in the Server Admin. Added users. I configured the IP adres of the server to a static one by setting the IPv4 to "using DHCP with manual address".
    Then I wanted to let my Windows XP server join the domain of the Lion Server, however I cannot let my Windows XP client connect to the domain of the Lion Server.
    I read in the advanced administration that you can set up Windows XP for domain login. Where do I find the name of this domain? It should be stated in the server admin, open directory, settings, general tab, but the only thing I find here is: Role: Open Directory Master.
    In Windows XP, when I explore in explorer the Microsoft-Windows Network I can see in "MYDOMAIN" the MacLion Server and my Windows XP pc. So sharing files is no problem.
    However, I really want to create a new domain with my Lion Server and let the Windows XP pc's login to the new domain.
    I hope anyone can help me.

    Thanks for the info.
    I read some stuff about this indeed, so I was thinking, because we have a small network, could it be possible to share files on the server via a workgroup?
    If we add the 3 Windows XP pc's to the same workgroup as the Lion Server, would there be a problem?
    Then at startup of Windows XP, should we login to the pc instead of the domain? And where would I find the Lion server in Windows XP?

  • Lion Server and TimeMachine Error 13

    Hello,
    I have a problem with a Lion Server and TimeMachine service.  I have enabled the service and selected a volume for it.  The server creates the share and does not report aby errors.  If I go to a client machine and open TM I can see the "Backups" share and select it.  The users credentials are validated witout a problem but when the backup is started it will end with the error "Cannot create sparseimage error 13"
    I have checked that the share is visible to the client machine and the client has write permissions for the share.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

  • ASA 5505 as a SSL VPN Server and Easy VPN Client at the same time?

    Is it possible to configure and operate the ASA 5505 as a SSL VPN server and Easy VPN Client at the same time? We would like to configure a few of these without having to purchase additional ASA 5505 and use a 2 device method (1 SSL VPN Server and 1 Easy VPN Client). Thanks in advance.

    I don't think it is possible. Following links may help you

  • Connection between  oracle 9i server and oracle 9i client

    hi there,
    i have installed both oracle 9i server and oracle 9i client in my system.how can i connect these two to have connection between these server and client?
    Because i was using only 9i server for creating database and for other purposes.i have not used 9i client yet.
    Please write me the answer.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Balu,
    If you have the Oracle 9i Client, you can just edit your TNSNAMES.ora file of your client to have a TNS Entry for your new Database & try connecting it. You just need to try TNSPING & ensure that you can reach the Listener.
    Are you facing any specific problems ?

  • I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers

    I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers. We can still surf the web when it goes down.

    Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
    smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated  permit_mynetworks  check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access  reject_non_fqdn_hostname  reject_invalid_hostname  permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
    The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
    However, that's not the problem.
    I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
    It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions.  You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
    You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
    My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up.  Private/policy I think relates to grey listing.  Maybe gives you a hint.

  • Now that I have the Media server and 3 media client boxes, all

    Now that I have the Media server and 3 media client boxes, all the individual lists of schedules are gone.
    Is there any way to keep the seperate lists on the client boxes?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    No because the VMS is where are all the recordings are done.
    Client boxes use the tuners of the VMS.

  • How to setup iCal on a Lion server and its client machines?

    I recently bought a new mini server (running Lion) in order to share our iCal calenders (like in the Apple presentations). I thought this would be an easy process but apparently it isn't. So what was I already able to achieve:
    1) Set up 5 different clients (on the Lion server), with corresponding e-mailadresses and passwords.
    2) Activated iCal on the server preference window (ical: on)
    3) Tried to add the user a account on one of the five client machines => HERE it goes wrong.
    My main issue is that I'm not able to add a user account on a client machine and have it connected to the server.
    It would be really nice if someone could assist me with it.
    Warm Regards

    I posted additional information  online using the newly created Launchpad login Service account.
    I hope that explains my situation, if not I will add more detail here.
    There is no problem, when ither of the two OS are used to enable printing with the HP Deskjet 2050 J510 series printer.
    The problem begins when I try to print from the other OS , when connected to one of the Operating System.
    I have tried without success to print from Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit OS from an HP Deskjet 2050 J510 series connected to a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server with Amahi (HDA), installed.
    The same thing occurred when I tried to print from the Ubuntu server and the printer was connected to the Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit running P.C.

  • New Lion Server and Client install... what to expect?

    Ok, so in a week I have a Mac Mini Server and a classroom of clients to set up, image, OD master, connect to AD, manage prefs etc (If I had the choice, I wouldn't touch Lion for at least 6 months, but it's not a luxury I have).
    I have no AD system to test it with here, so what fun and games can I look forward to? Looking around, it seems that binding to AD is currently rather unreliable 

    The 3800 can handle MaxTurbo and TV.  You can feed your 5 TV Receivers over good quality RG59 or over Ethernet, or up to two may be connected via Wireless.  
    The preference is for Ethernet over Cat5e/Cat6 or Wireless.  Wireless is liked by installers because they don't have to run wires for them.  Ethernet is by far the best choice.
    Since the 3800 (or any U-verse RG) only has 4 RJ45 ports, you cannot connect all 5 TV Receivers directly to the RG via Ethernet, so some would have to move to a switch connected to the RG.  You need to be careful when mixing IPTV and general traffic on a switch, especially if you have a third party wireless access point or wireless router connected to that switch.
    Do be aware of the limitation of no more than 4 LIve HD streams coming into your home at the same time.  I mention this because you say 5 TVs.  You can view different programs on all 5 TVs, but some would have to be recorded.
     

  • Mountain Lion (server and client) and iOS Notes syncing

    I run an IMAP server on my Mac mini running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and Server 2.2.1. I have an email account on this server and can access and update Mail on both my MacBook Air (Mac OS X 10.8.3) and my iPhone (iOS 6.1.3) and see the results on the other device.  However, I cannot get Notes to sync.
    I created a note on my iPhone but it does not appear on my MacBook.  This is the only account that has Notes enabled on my iPhone; if I turn Notes off for this account the note disappears and comes back when turn them back on again.
    I created a note on my MacBook but it does not appear on my iPhone.  This is the only account that has Notes enabled on my MacBook; if I turn Notes off for this account the note disappears and comes back when turn them back on again.
    How can I get Notes to sync between my OS X and iOS devices?
    NOTE: Helpful as you may try to be, I am not looking for alternatives to Notes.  Syncing to any IMAP server should work and there is nothing to say it doesn't work so I want to get it working for me.  It is all about storing my data on my server and none of the other options address this.

    After trying everything else, I discovered the answer by just "playing around:" You need to allow clear text passwords for Mail.  Once I'd made this change my Notes automatically appeared and stay in sync on all of my devices (iMac, MacBook Air and iPhone).  This is still working after the update to OS X Mavericks and Server 3.

  • Can I use my New Imac as a server and a workstation/client at the same time ?

    I havea  brand new (2 months Old) Imac - 4 Gig, fully loaded and want to use it as a server using lion server app.  I want to use it for ical server, Addressbook and fileshareing with a bit more security.  I dont want to buy a new computer, just use the existing one to do these services.  At the same time, I want to still use this computer for my regular work. 
    There will be a few users with low traffic.  At the beggining, there will be only 1 other user for the calander, addressbook and file server.  Later it might grow to 4.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated !!!
    PS - Any advice on how to set this up or tricks would be appreciated
    Thanks Again

    great Idea !!  Lets assume I dont want to go virtual - what is your thought on that ?
    Lion Server is a "layer" on top of client. The services run in the background and do consume resources like the RAM, CPU, and HD, while you're using the computer as a client. That said, when running a VM with say VMWare Fusion you dedicate Cores and RAM to VM, even if the VM doesn't need all the CPU horsepower or RAM for your server tasks. So it may be that running a full blown Lion Server as VM along side client is more resource intensive on your computer than just running Lion Server while also using it as a workstation.

  • Lion server and Share Points

    My company just got a new iomega SAN and I wanted to test it on a lion server. So I setup lion server on a mac pro and configured the SAN to the switch. The problem is that when I go to server app, File sharing & click + to add a share point Im not able to add the shares from the SAN, only the Macintosh HD shows.
    But when I switch to my snow leopard server I can add the SAN shares with no problem. Does anybody know how I can get this working with lion server?

    You should check OS X logs and Windows client logs to have a better understanding of what happened.

  • Lion Server and FileVault

    Greetings,
    I am looking into setting up a Lion server that will be part of a domain and that will be used to authenticate users.  Can FileVault be enabled for users authenticated via AD/LDAP? Any information would be appreciated.

    Are you supporting only Lion clients?  I believe Lion no longer supports the creation of legacy file vault home folders.  In Lion, just encrypt the entire drive.
    If you need to support Snow or before, then use MCX settings in Workgroup Manager to set home folder encyption policy.  This is on the Mobility button.

  • Windows 2008 Server and Windows 8 clients

    Hey Guys,
    I have had this problem for sometime now and really need a solution. I have Windows 2008 Enterprise Server running about 200+ terminal services clients. All Windows XP clients are fine, Windows 7 clients have issues when they get an updated version of
    remote desktop client(to solve the issue we simply rollback the update), Windows 8 clients cannot connect and use out remote app. The issue stems from the newer version of remote desktop client (on windows 7 and embedded in windows 8) cannot connect to our
    terminal server and generates an error and immediately disconnects. The error says "
    Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote computer that you want
    to connect to
    So my questions are, how can i update my Windows 2008 Terminal server version to support these clients, or do u have migrate to Windows 2012? Or is there a solution to my current problem which will allow my client to connect and use the remoteapps?
