Mac OS X Server Tiger and Windows XP SP2 (Yes I know not a good Idea)

Hi Everybody
I have an issue. It have setup all the windows services as is said in the apple guid and I can't get it to work.
It seams to be having trouble connecting to the server / finding the server. And guesses on why this mite be. I have had issues with the DNS on the PC's as well however it works fine on the Mac's.

Not very specific about your problem.
But I think it may because you need the Win clients to use the tiger server as a WINS box.
In your windows IP settings enter the ip of the server under 'WINS'

  • Network between mac os 10.6.1 and windows 7

    HI guys
    I asking about networking between mac os 10.6.1 and windows 7
    on windows 7, I opened file,printer sharing on (workgroup)homegroup.
    on mac os 10.6.1, finder->go->computer. It show Macintosh HD & Network, click on Network, there is nothing there.
    The only I can do is.... finder->go->connect to server (input smb://192.168.xxx.xxx and connect)
    After that, on finder->go->computer->network is showing up 192.168.xxx.xxx
    MY QUESTION IS HOW I CAN SEE WINDOWS (workgroup)HOMEGROUP ON MAC OS 10.6.1 BEFORE CONNECTED TO 192.168.XXX.XXX BY HAND?
    Thank you!

    I think you are asking, in effect, why you can't see your smb shares in "Shared" in the sidebar of a finder window? Often Sno does not make that connection automatically, and one must connect via smb://IpAddress (or computer network name). Once you do so, if you keep the connection active, then the Win7 machine is likely to be found under Shared eventually. The only way I have found to keep shares showning under Shared for an extended period is to keep all pertinent machines from sleeping over the period of expected access.

  • Server 2008 R2 with WSUS need to specify location for Feature install for Server 2012 and Windows 8

    Having a problem where we need to add .net 3.5, amongst other things, in server 2012 and windows 8.1.  We're using WSUS on server 2008 R2, so when I go to add roles or features, I'm not able to as it tries to use Windows Update but it's set to use WSUS.
    I'm aware in server 2012 gpo's that you enable the policy 'specify settings for optional component installation and component repair' in Administrative Templates>System, however that setting is not available in Server 2008 R2.
    I've downloaded the templates from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36991 but the setting is still not there.
    Any suggestions on how to do this/allow feature install with Server 2008 R2?

    Hi,
    To upgrade the Administrative Templates, please run the downloaded msi file, then copy the needed admx files and adml files to the PolicyDefinitions folder.
    For detailed information, please refer to the link below,

  • How can I partition my external hard drive supporting mac OS in one partition and windows OS in another?

    Hello everyone, how can I partition my external hard drive supporting mac OS in one partition and windows OS in another?

    OK. Start with:
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two (2). Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Click on the Erase tab in DU's main window. Select one of the two partitions, preferably the first one, change the Format type: to MSDOS then click on the Erase button.

  • Is there a 32 Bit edition available for windows server 2012 and windows server 2008

    Dear All,
    Is there a 32 Bit edition available for windows server 2012 and windows server 2008?

    Hi,
    Quote：
    All editions of Windows Server 2008 R2 are 64-bit only.
    Reference link below(session Supported upgrade paths):
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd379511(v=ws.10).aspx
    And based on MS official description about system requirement for Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, we may find out that they only has 64 bit OS.

  • I forgot to back-up my information (pictures, excel documents) on MAC before installing boot camp and Windows.  I am mid-way through the process, at the point where I need to install the drivers. Will i be able to retrieve my documents on MAC or not?

    I forgot to back-up my information (pictures, excel documents) on MAC before installing boot camp and Windows.  I am mid-way through the process, at the point where I need to install the drivers. Will i be able to retrieve my documents on MAC and finalizing the Windows 7 installation (for the 1st time) or not?
    I am worried that  may lose my information... Appreciate any feedback! Note: already half-way in the process of installing!

    Yes, IF you picked the right partition, as in the Boot Camp partition. If everything is done right you should be able to boot into the Mac side.
    If you already booted into Windows and are at the point of installing the Boot Camp Drivers your already done installing Windows! Yea! All you need to do is just install the drivers and everything should work normal.
    The Windows partition and the Mac partition are seen as two different HD's now as far as the computer knows.
    You can use the Boot Camp control panel in Windows to boot into the Mac side and the Startup Disk in System Preferences on the Mac to switch to Windows. If you can't then press and hold down the Option key untill you get the boot screen.

  • What are the minimum hardware requirements to install both MAC OS X Snow Leopard and Windows on a Mac

    Hi,
    I want to install both MAC OS X Snow Leopard and WINDOWS on a same PC. Is it possible..then mention the minimum Hardware support to install both Operating Systems on a PC. I am waiting for relevant reply from Apple Support Team.
                                            Thank You.

    I am waiting for relevant reply from Apple Support Team.
    Then you'll be waiting a long time. This is a user to user support site hosted by Apple. The Apple Support Team doesn't respond to posts here.
    For Snow Leopard, you need an Apple computer with an Intel processor of any flavor. Here are the specs from the Apple Store:
    System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    You'd have to contact Microsoft to find out what specs its OS requires, but I imagine the above would cover it.
    Also note that Snow Leopard is only licensed to run on Apple branded equipment.

    Yes that is correct
    Okay. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

    Thank you Shootist007. I cannot do even Update now. I probably should have spent the same amount of money on a new IMac!
    No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
    Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

    You need to force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

  • 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?
