Mac os 10.6  server and MS Small business serveur 2008, dual boot

It is possible to install Microsoft Small Business server with Mac os 10.6 server
on macmini ? I want a server for testing mac and windows solutions for the small companies.
thank you.

Boot Camp does not support the installation of Windows server. You'll need to run it within Parallels or VMWare Fusion

  • 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!!

  • Trying to upgrade computers and server on my small business office

    I'm upgrading 4 computers and a server in my small business office (one for one replacement on all). Would I replace the server (computer) first and then the 4 computers or can I replace the computers and then the server? They are all Dell products.
    I use a tape drive to do daily backups of my data. Can I just create a cloud backup account and put the data there and then download it back to that specific computer? I hope this makes sense. I haven't done this in years and trying to save a bunch of money
    than paying some techs.
    Thanks in advance, Cicely

    -->The old computers and server is XP and the new ones are all on Windows 8.
    Windows Server 2003?
    -->I guess I better think
    about this or do some extensive research.
    Yeah...great.
    Best,

  • Cannot install exchange server 2010 without small business server 2011

    we purchased Windows Small Business server 2011 for one of our servers and installed the software and setup exchange server for the office.   We had some 3rd party software that would not work with small business server so we had to install windows
    2008 r2 server.  we still need exchange server 2010.  Is there anyway to install without small business server?  When I entered the key in exchange server for the small business server it is saying that it is an invalid key.  We have a
    genuine version of windows small business server.  is it all or nothing for the software.  Thanks 

    SBS is indeed all or nothing. Breaking apart the individual components is not allowed. That includes exchange. If you want exchange without SBS, you'll need to buy exchange separately and exchange CALs. If you only have SBS CALs and aren't going to run
    SBS, you'll need Windows CALs as well.

  • Warning: Palm OS Treos and Windows Small Business Server 2008

    If you use a Treo smartphone with the Palm operating system, beware:  it does not work with Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2008.
    Palm acknowledges this failure and has no intention of fixing it. 
    There are at least two problems:
    (1) You must turn off all email security on the Exchange mail server to sync with Treos.
    (2) AutoSync locks up the Palm each time it occurs, and must be turned off.
    Here's the transcript of my chat w/tech support. After this, I spent a few hours on the phone and got the same answers.
    [12:35 AM] Gary says: Hello.
    [12:35 AM] Handoff connection active (1/5140).
    [12:35 AM] x says: Hi. Please see the question sent earlier.
    [12:36 AM] Gary says: Could you please be more specific about the issue?
    [12:37 AM] x says: Our Palms will not talk to Exchange Server 2007 unless all its security
    features are turned off. This is a problem with Palm/VersaMail. When will it be corrected?
    [12:38 AM] Gary says: Yes, that is true. I am sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
    [12:38 AM] Gary says: I am very sorry to inform you that currently we do not have any information on this.
    [12:39 AM] x says: Apology accepted and appreciated. But when will this be fixed?
    [12:40 AM] Gary says: Unfortunately we do not have any sort of update on this. I suggest you to post the
    feedback in the Palm Website.
    [12:41 AM] x says: Okay, next question:  Every AutoSync locks up the Palm, so we have to turn
    AutoSync off. Do you intend to rectify this problem?
    [12:42 AM] Gary says: I understand your concern. Is it happening with all the Palm devices?
    [12:42 AM] x says: Yes.
    [12:43 AM] Gary says: Do you receive any error message before locking up the Treo?
    [12:43 AM] x says: No.
    [12:46 AM] Gary says: Okay, as this happening with all the devices to me it looks like the issue should be
    diagnosed closely to find the root cause. Was this happening with the Exchange Sever 2003?
    [12:46 AM] x says: No
    [12:46 AM] Gary says: So, the AutoSync feature is Locking the device from the day you upgraded to the
    Exchange Sever 2007.
    [12:46 AM] Gary says: Am I correct?
    [12:47 AM] x says: yes.
    [12:48 AM] Gary says: Okay, as this is the issue related to the sync with the Exchange Server 2007 and the
    AutoSync to find out the root cause I will escalate this issue to our escalation channel which is our Voice
    Support Team.
    [12:48 AM] Gary says:
    I will provide you all the information and guide you in the correct direction to address this issue.
    [12:48 AM] Gary says:
    I suggest you to get in touch with the Voice Support and I am sure they will fix the issue.

  • Mac Mini substitutes home server and apple tv?

    I have a HP mediasmart home server to manage backups, remote access and such. As well as I have an Apple TV where i store my pictures, movies, music etc.
    I wonder if the mac mini (+server) will be a good substitute for all that functionality?
    http://www.hp.com/united-states/campaigns/mediasmart-server/

    "But can it be both simultaneously?
    Both a server and a media machine that is showing a movie on your TV?"
    Yes it can, no problems.
    The Mini Server OSX is pretty much the same as the client Snow Leopard, complete with Front Row, iTunes, Mail, Safari etc, but no iLife09 supplied - you will have to pay extra for that.
    It will do everything that Snow Leopard will do but has all the server capabilities too if you know how to set it up/use the software.
    The only things I had trouble with was I can't find Migration Assistant and a strange quirk is that it won't share a USB connected printer across a network! No sign of printer sharing in System prefs but I guess you can do it via the Server config somewhere...
    I just used CUPS to enable Bonjour printer sharing - works fine
    I have been able to insatll everything I had on my previous CoreDuo Mini including Final Cut Express, iLife09, EyeTV, some bit torrent stuff - all works fine...
    I really like the fact that I can plug two monitors in - I have the MiniDVI connected to a 50" plasma and 1080p Projector (using an HDMI splitter), the Mini Display port feeds a separate 20" widescreen monitor - when the plasma/PJ is switched off the main display automatically switches back to the 20" monitor
    All in all this MiniServer is a great little HTPC - powerful and silent with 1TB of storage. The Server software is a bonus I haven't even looked at as yet

  • IWeb and Yahoo Small Business

    So I reserved my domain name and paid for yahoo small business web hosting. I created my web pages using iWeb. I used file>publish and loaded the pages into a file on my desk top. That's where I'm stuck. I had been working on two separate sites. Both Site and Site1 were added as FOLDERS in my designated desktop folder. I then went to Yahoo Small business. It asked me to upload FILES. There are several files for each folder. Do I upload each one? Am I missing a step completely? Thanks.

    It asks me for my server.
    Yahoo provides you the info to put in the ftp forms: server, username, password, directory.
    In terms of the previous reply in addition to the index file there are a number of other .html files and associated folders. Upload all of these??
    You upload the folder that contains all of these, plus the index.html file which is outside that folder. The folder has the name you gave your site inside the iWeb app. So you really up load two items.

  • LMS 3.2 and Cisco Small Business Switches

    Hi there,
    I'm currently using LMS 3.2 to monitor my network. We've recently purchsed a few of the Cisco Small Business Switches, the SF 300-24 model to be exact. They're considered 'managed switches' (tho thier CLI is terrible) and I would like to monitor them in CWLMS. My problem is that once I add it to CS, it doesn't resolve to anything, just sits there as a blue box with a question mark. I'm assuming this means that these devices are not (currently) supported by LMS 3.2 - do you know if that will change, or how I can go about managing this device with LMS 3.2?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately that series of products is not supported in any version of LMS (or even Cisco Network Assistant - CNA).
    Cisco provides the FindIt utility to manage them:

  • What do i need to do to share TB and Lightning files between W7 and Ubuntu 14.04 on a dual boot system?

    I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 alongside W7. Since I'm not comfortable dropping Windows completely yet, I want my W7 Thunderbird and my Ubuntu TB to have access to the same data file holding current messages, so I don't have to get out of one to use TB on the other. I rely on Lightning and also want my reminders to be consistent from either OS. I have a separate NTFS data partition which, I understand, can be used to house the profile directory (though I've not seen that as a solution for Lightning).
    In trying to set it up, I've run into questions that I can't find a good answer for -- want sources that address the problem and are recent. I'm pretty patient, and I can stumble through a lot of things (like learningn about partitions). But I'm not a programmer, and this start-stop-sort-through-dozens-of-old-incomplete-and-irrelevant-answers process is frustrating. (Nor do I lift the hood and tune my own car engine.) I also recognize that some things I want to do aren't necessarily common, so they're not at the top of anyone's "tell the world how to do this" list.
    1. My profiles directory has 6 *.default files. I assume the current one is the most recent. Do I need the older ones? How did I get them, since I've never knowingly created a new one? I'm the only user of my machine and thus the only user for TB.
    2. I saw the following before setting up the dual boot system, so it's likely not related -- but if someone who knows TB well can comment I'll appreciate it: when I view All folders, I see 58(!) folders with names nstmp-##. The contents overlap with normally-named folders, but the sets of messages are not identical. Do these indicate a problem and/or should I change something? Does this have to do with compacting or archiving, neither of which I do? Never saw the need, and never saw an article saying that they're important. I just want to use mail and reminders. And BTW I've been using TB/Lightning for years and am Very happy with them, so I want to keep using them.
    3. Is there a way to set up Lightning to hit the same data file(s) on my data partition? Or somewhere? Where are Lightning's files? I remember one source mentioned linking to "storage.sdb", but (1) I can't find the reference again, and (2) links to some of my files don't always work. Broken links aren't Mozilla's problem, but someone might know how to geet around the problem for the sake of Lightning. Also, storage.sdb and calendar* directories exist inside my *.default profile directory -- so why would I need to link anything? Are these not where calendar data is stored? If not, where?
    I'd rather understand the reasons behind recommended procedures ("do A because Y is how Lightning/TB works" -- vs "do A, then B, then C...and it will/should(!) work."). But if you can point me to a clear procedure that will get me where I want to go, that will be enough.
    Last, the following two URLs looked like they would help but don't -- so you don't need to point me to them again:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sharing_a_profile_between_Windows_and_Linux -- this is only 2 years old but:
    (1) it only says that "settings" specify file locations, without saying which settings. Stumbling around, I found "Local directories" under Server Settings. For more detail the page refers to an article that's 10 years old. Neither source says which subdirectory under *.default should be the target. The older one references ".../mail", but when I enter that value in Local Directories under Ubuntu, nothing shows up. When I went down one more level to "/Local Folders", the folders appear and the new-message counts seem(!) ok. But I also got a couple "folder missing...will adjust filters" messages. I never got those under Windows. So am I good to go, or am I missing messages?
    (2) The above page only says that Lightning is a "potential problem", with no suggestion of a solution or link to a discussion. Searching results in many hits, but I haven't found anything helpful.
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1624973 -- this looked promising, but the comments are dated 2009-2010, deal with ubuntu 10 and XP, and don't seem to address my problem -- unless I'm not savvy enough to recognize it, which is entirely possible.
    Thanks for any insights.

    Lightning is a problem for you because it hooks into Thunderbird at a low level and you need a version compiled for the platform Thunderbird is running on. So you can't do the preferred solution, which is to put your whole profile in a shared folder and have both instances of Thunderbird reference the same profile. (Ditto for Enigmail). Lightning may become an integral part of Thunderbird in an upcoming release, at which point this limitation due to Lightning should disappear.
    And if you can't use a shared profile, you can't set your Lightning, or your Address Book, to share a common set of files. Put another way, the linkage from Thunderbird to its address book files and calendar data is hard-coded, and not exposed where we can adjust it. :-(
    The halfway house is to place your mail stores in a shared place, and use the Local Directory setting in each account's settings to connect to it. They don't need to be in the profile; what's more important in your case is that they are in a folder accessible to both operating systems.
    Look in your profile; everything under Mail and ImapMail needs to be moved out to a shared folder. Note the entries in Thunderbird under Local Directory before you do this, and reconstruct those pathnames in Thunderbird, but adjusted to suit their new locations.
    (You can see here that you need to make many adjustments, one per account, in each instance of Thunderbird, so it's a high-maintenance solution and this is why we don't recommend it when the alternative, moving the whole profile, is possible.)
    I share address books and calendars between Thunderbirds on various computers (and my phone and tablet) by syncing to something in the cloud; Google Contacts and Google Calendar are my choices, using gContactSync and CalDav.
    Having made the break myself some years ago, I'd recommend you break away from Windows. ;-)

  • Mac OS10.6.2 Server and Windows Vista 64 bit client

    Can anyone tell me if the problem below was a quirk or if there is an issue generally.
    I recently purchased a new workstation using windows Vista Home Premium 64bit.
    Our Apple Sserver had a share on it for the intended user of this workstation but I simply could not get a connection to the server. Everytime I tried to connect it said I did not has sufficient privledges.
    If I tried logging into the server from another workstation, using XP, Vista or Windows 7 32bit versions I could access the share with no issues.
    I eventually erased and installed a 32bit Windows 7 Pro onto the workstation and it connected perfectly.
    This was the forst workstation we have bought running a 64bit operating system, and now faced with a further two workstations to purchase I am somewhat worried.
    Is it an inherent problem, or was it just a rough PC with perhaps a problem with the initial install of Vista 64bit.
    Any help would be appreicated.
    The Server just runs AFP, DHCP and SMB sharing, no open directory, no DNS. Also its just a workgroup not a domain we are trying to connect to.
    Thanks
    mark

    The main problem you're going to have is that Vista will not authenticate in a compatible way to Mac OS X server, not without modifications at the Vista client.

  • Mac mini as file server and Mediacenter

    I have bought a Mac mini with Lion and want to use it as a fileserver and a mediacenter. After formatting my external disks and putting the data back on I have now been able to share them on my network (mix of Mac and PC). My problem is the Mac mini will freeze up quite often and and therefore I cannot get access to my files from the other computers in my network and it will stall every no and then when watching a DVD.
    Is there a power saving option I have overlooked? When it goes into standby mode I cannot always wake it up again but have to make a hard reset. 
    I am using XBMC as mediacenter software. I also have IDrive running as online backup and Evocam as videosurveillance software.

    You say disks.  How many and what brand and how is the connection
    made (USB/Firerwire)?  
    Is there a power saving option I have overlooked? When it goes into standby mode I cannot always wake it up again but have to make a hard reset.
    Can you post your settings that you currently have?
    I am using XBMC as mediacenter software. I also have IDrive running as online backup and Evocam as videosurveillance software.
    Can you disable IDrive and the Evocam software for a while
    and see if the issue persists?  I don't see XBMC as being an issue
    as I use it on multiple Macs without a problem.

  • Setlup Windows Server 2012 like Small Business Server

    I am presently using SBS 2003.  Because SBS has been discontinued and Server Essentials doesn't have Exchange, I have decided to purchase Server 2012 and do Exchange as a VM.  Is there any documentation on how to setup Group Policies in Server
    2012 to mimic SBS?  The features I'm interested in are My Documents redirection and Desktop Redirection.  There are probably a few other features I can't think of simply because all my servers were SBS and I was used to the wizards and
    features that set themselves up automatically.
    Thanks!
     

    Hi,
    Thanks for posting in the forum.
    Regarding your request, please understand that you could configure Folder Redirection polices in GPMC just like SBS 2003. For details, please refer to the following articles.

    In addition, please understand that you could install Windows Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012, the feature makes you take advantage of all the features that are available
    to you in Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials without the locks and limits enforced in it. For details, please refer to the following article.
