Mac OS X Lion Server download?

Dear Apple Community,
I would like to install Mac OS X Lion Server on a mid 2007 Mac Pro, but can't find the software as download in the App Store anymore. Is there any way to buy this older version of the Server Software, either as download or as USB/ CD?
Thank you very much for your help!!
P.S.: Newer versions of OS X Server are not an option as they don't run on the Mac Pro from 2007.

How do I set up my Time Machine and Mac Mini with Lion Server so i have one wifi loop in the house?

HELP!
So I have had a Time Machine wifi loop at the house for approx. 6 years. I run two Macbooks, 2 iPhones, 2 iTouch and a Samsung Smart Blueray on the loop.
I just bought a Mac Mini with Lion Server. When setting it up I'm not sure what or how I managed to do, but I now have 2 wifi loops, one doesn't lock and niether will support the Samsung BlueRay. Also, each time I want to go online with one of the other Mac devices i have to relog into the wifi loop.
Can someone please walk me through the fix. The mac Mini is plugged straight into the Time Machine to recevie its internet connection.
Thanks!

You often see this limit of 10 clients in wireless hotspots but I have yet to see it in an adsl modem.. most strange way to pay for a service that is really irrelevant how many clients you use.
Have a go .. I recently setup a TC to help a guy run his Roku.. and this setup worked well.. I have no idea if it can work in your case.
Lets say the IP you get is 192.168.2.1-10 .. doesn't matter what it really is. And the adsl modem is 192.168.2.254
(Assuming they are private addresses.. if they are public IP you can just use the DHCP and NAT. )
But go to the airport utility.. I think you need to run v5 at least to change DNS.. but you can do the same thing in v6 using static but no dns changes.
Now you set the IP of the TC manually.. This address might need to be in the dhcp range of the modem to work. You can set the DNS to same IP as the router address.. ie home address of the modem. Or you can use another DNS.. whatever you like.
Then set DHCP for clients that will join.. this can then expand the scope of addresses..
It worked without a NAT error.. although I am not sure exactly how.. on paper it should not be able to work but did.. have a go.. otherwise there is perhaps another way.. but it is complicated.
Give us an example from a computer plugged into the modem of what IP .. subnet mask .. Gateway and DNS you get. Then I can fine tune the values for it.

How do I get Mac Pro with Lion Server to restart at a set time when users are connected?

I have recently configured a Mac Pro with Lion Server, and have set it to restart automatically every morning at 3am. When I arrive in the morning, I notice that it has not rebooted, usually because it states there are users connected. Is there a way to automatically disconnect users so that the machine will reboot. No one is ACTIVELY connected at this time of the morning, but may still be logged in somewhere. I did see where I can log out users after a set period of time when using Workgroup Manager to manage a computer or computer group, but I don't use the server to manage all of the computers that have users log in.
Thanks!

Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be each and every night, but it was for the sole purpose of preventing sluggishness. We had it set up before, as Snow Leopard Server and it would restart every night. It would occasionally be slow and need rebooting, however a manual reboot was not possible by most people in the store as they did not have credentials to screen share and restart it - which would result in holding down the power button to shut it down.
The server is used for the sole purpose of logging in about 50 users just so they can customize their experience, as well as saving items to their own home folders. The store is closed during the night, and there is no reason anyone would be accessing it during the night.

Mac OS X Lion Server Roaming Profiles

I have Mac OS X Lion Server on my iMac and want to setup "Roaming Profiles" to be able to go into any one of my macs, laptops and desktops, and log in to the same profile. Any one know if this is possible and if so, how to do this???

You should be able to do this in the Workgroup Manager like http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-configure-mobility-settings-on-lion -server-.html or in the Profile Manager. Depends on your setup.

Mac OS X Lion Server screen freezes frequently

I have recently purchased the Mac Mini Server with 8GB RAM Upgrade and have been experiencing screen freezes frequently. The Mac Mini is connected to a ViewSonic LED Monitor via an HDMI cable and is running Mac OS X Lion Server.
It all started a month ago and I suspected it was due to an external hard disk I had. When I removed it the problem didn't crop up for a few weeks. So I thought the issue was resolved.
Over the past week the problem re-surfaced again and nearly everyday I am experiencing screen freezing about five times a day and the only option is to power down my Mac Mini Server from the power button. This is becoming increasingly frustrating. When screen freezing occurs, everything freezes and I get some small rectangular boxes on screen moving.
The only things that have changed over the past week was that I installed the latest Safari fix and connected the Harman Kardon Sounsticks II to the Mac Mini.
Can't understand what is happening. From various threads I read, many mac users are experiencing screen freezes. If anyone has any resolutions please let me know.

Lion has a screen refresh bug it is just the screen going to sleep and the the screen updating only where the curser moves.

Service data location on mac os x lion server 10.7.4

here's my problem.....
in mac os x lion server, sever app, under hardware/settings, one can change the service data location (in my case from the server HD to an external HD), which I was trying to do. After the first attempt, I got an error message, something that had to do with "postgres". The server app created an some libraries on the external HD, but they were all empty.
Second attempt: I switched all services off and tried again: now I didn't get an error message, the app created the correct libraries and next to "service data" my external HD is being listed:..so far so good, I thought.
After restarting the server app, the external HD's name isn't listed anymore (and no other either) and the "edit" button is greyed out....that's it. No clue what to do now.
Any ideas?

Click here and start the process.

¿Can i run the Microsoft Project Server in Mac OS X Lion Server?

When i use the Mac OS X Lion Server, or even, the Mac OS X Leopard Server, can i run another program like Microsoft Project Server, because i need the features that this gives me.
Thanks you for your solutions
(is it possible on Xserver?)

Unfortunately, no one will be be able to answer your question re. a not-yet-released OS; they either do not know or are prevented from sharing their knowledge because of an NDA.

How do I downgrade mountain lion back to my mac mini 2011 lion server

Hi,
Previously, my mac mini mid 2011 was installed with mac os lion server then I have purchase and upgrade to mountain lion via iTunes.
Somehow I decided to downgrade back to lion server due to use of my mac as server, unfortunately I have no idea how to downgrade with the following reasons:
1. I don't create any time machine backup before so can't use that option.
2. I have enable vault function so now the startup has hide the recovery HD icon
3. In the Recovery mode (command + R), I only see an option to download and reinstall a fresh Mountain Lion only.
4. I can't download and install Lion server from iTunes because this os was bundle with purchase of mac mini 2011 mid version.
Any comments and helps here are appreciated. Thanks.

Well, did you save a Carbon Copy Clone (http://www.bombich.com) of the Lion installation by chance? That would be the easiest to go back to and use / update. Outside of that, or having saved the original Lion installer, I know of no way to get the OS that you are after. For future referece, on a mac mini with two harddrives, I have always made a backup partition on the second drive using CCC, and schedule clone updates to that. You can't rely on TM, inmo, so something like CCC or SuperDuper is essential. Cheers,

Mac OS X Lion Server - Clean Installation

I do have a Mac mini server with OS X Snow Leopard Server. I would like to go to Lion Server but I don't want to use the default installation method.
I understood, that Lion Server usually is no operating system but an App, which is to be installed by App Store. This is a nice feature for users who have any OS X Lion device such as a Mac Book or an iMac and want to have server features with them.
But this doesn't fit for a dedicated server system!
How can I perform a clean installation of OS X Lion Server on a new partition?
(I don't want to upgrade my Snow Leopard Server partition to Lion Server, before I have tested that everything is working as expected. And I especially don't want to install Lion first and than add Lion Server as an App.)

You can purchase Lion server from the app store
and when the download is complete and prompted to
install, select cancel. Then, locate the downloaded installer
in the Applications folder and follow these instructions
to create an install disk or USB stick:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20080989-263/how-to-create-an-os-x-lion-ins tallation-disc/?tag=mncol
Then, you should be able to install on a partition of
your chosing.
I strongly suggest that you clone your current install
and backup any data should something go awry.

How do I connect a user account to a server's share points when the user is on the same Mac as the Lion Server?

I've installed and configured Lion Server on an old iMac that suddenly became available when I upgraded to a new iMac. I've got a share point on there. It was easy. Love it.
My bookkeeper comes into my office once a week and works on that iMac. He already has a regular user account set up there. He needs to access the sharepoint that is on that iMac he's using, and which is now running Lion Server. But I can't see the server from his account, and I can't manually connect to it - I get an error to connect locally on the Mac instead.
But I can't navigate to the point in the user account that I'm using as a file serving account to get him access to the directory I'm sharing.
So, in short, how does a local user on an iMac running Lion Server connect to the server's sharepoints?

All drives are now listed under volumes both local and remote.
I would try the fullpath using /Volumes/....
or post the file paths your trying
are you trying the goto menu?

Can Mac OS X Lion Server Installed on Non-Mac machines

Hello,
I have a server with Windows 2008 standard. I want to format the machine and install Mac OS X Lion. Will the Lion server work on the hardware whcih is a pentium 4 Processor?
Do I need to change the clients to Mac OS or let it remain as windows (XP/Vista). Can I smoothly operate the Service Client network in this way or change everything to Mac OS?
Thanks

No, it won't work. The clients can use Windows, but the server must be a Mac.
Kappy: Your statement doesn't apply to all Apple software; iTunes and Safari have official Windows versions, along with a few other Apple products.

Use Mac While Mountain Lion Is Downloading?

Hello,
Does anyone know if you can actively use your Mac while Mac OS 10.8 is downloading? More importantly, does the installer require a manual prompt before the actual installation process?
I would normally be able to leave my MacBook Pro alone while it downloaded/installed such an OS upgrade, but am in a bit of a bind with work for the next few days and bound by a much slower Internet connection, so the download process could take almost a day! It would be a pain in the a** to suddenly loose functionality at a critical time. Oh, how I miss the old days of installer discs and the ability to manage software installation more efficiently...
More microchips than sense,
Dr. Z.

If you are using a slow internet connection to download Mountain Lion, best to not use your Mac at the same time to free up system resources. It's a 4.34GB file. If your download sped is approximately 15Mbps, that takes about 2 and a half hours. Anything less, then the download could time out before it's finished.
Keep in mind, if you need to repair the startup disk or reinstall the OS X, you would need to use Lion Recovery which requires broadband (high speed) access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection.
