MAC server with emulator

I have a mac server at our office and we are trying to upgrade the mac server. apparently that's not possible because we do not have intel integrated processor.
we need to install an emulator on all separate computers and also on the server and use a program that is only accessible on windows.
its costly to buy a new server. that huge thing and i was browsing online and i'm wondering if it possible to use a mac mini as a server and was wondering how to and what would be the difference between using a server OS X Server X5 and using a mac mini as a server.
also, if i was to run the emulator on the server and all separate computers that are connected to the server, it would be accessible all at the same time right?
thanks for your attention and response!

You probably have inadvertently set up SACL's.
In server admin
Select the server.
Click the Access button at the top.
Click the services button.
Make sure that all services are available for all users.
Or if you're keen, make sure that you have allowed access to SMB for the users in question.

  • We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Macs -problem!

    We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Mac Network!!!
    Problem:
    Now, when we create files from our personal computers, no one else can write them. We can all read these files, but when we make changes we have to save a version! This wasn't happening on the Windows server, so I can only guess that it's a setting on the Mac? (G4 Laptop running 10.4.5)
    Can anyone help me figure out what setting needs to be changed?
    Thank you very much in advance!
    -Alex

    This is normal behavior, and is a result of the POSIX umask. Newly created files have their POSIX permissions (owner, group, and everyone fields) set such that only the owner can read and write.
    The best way to solve this problem is to use an ACL entry to define desired permissions for a folder, specifying inheritance (e.g., permissions apply to this folder and any newly-created files or folders inside of that).
    Please see my ACL Tips version 2 link for more information, including a more detailed explanation of POSIX and ACL permissions and how they work together: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1732788

  • How do I use my own domain name  with Mac server with iWeb

    For a number of years I have had my own domain name that when typed into a browser it would redirect the browser to my site on the .Mac server. I hear with iLife ’08 I can have my own domain name hosted by .Mac so I know longer have to have the long addresses for each pages the I have now for my site (i.e. the http://web.mac.com/thewildhearts/WildheartPhotography/NatureGalleries.html). How do I go about getting my domain name (wildheartphotography.com) so that Mac will host it and do I need to notify the current host that Mac will be hosting my site now?
    Thanks. I really appreciate the help I get from this forum.
    Pat

    It's very easy, really. You go to your domain control and redirect the address. IPower, for example points the domain name very easily: you just type in the URL of your site and it will point to your mac server.
    I've used GoDaddy before and it is a bit more difficult to "point".

  • Best DNS setup for public-facing Mac server with no NAT?

    What's the best way to set up the DNS server as a member of an existing domain with nameservers elsewhere for a public-facing server with no NAT?
    We own the domain myexample.com and it's name servers and zone files are on a hosted linux server with mail/web server services.
    We now have a Mac server hosted elsewhere and we want it to be a subdomain of our myexample.com i.e. macserver.myexample.com.
    We haven't enabled NAT or DHCP so the Mac server host network IP is a public IP. There is no LAN.
    When setting up the DNS server, what should the primary zone be? macserver.myexample.com, or myexample.com?
    Any advice would be great. Mr Hoffman....are you out there?

    You do need valid DNS services.  But you don't need to provide DNS on the same server.  And if you're not dealing with NAT, things can get easier.
    The easiest approach available is to not run your own DNS services here.   This assumes the OS X Server box is configured on a static IP address, but then that's something OS X Server needs/wants/ expects.
    Use the DNS provided by your domain registrar, and your ISP.    Or maybe on that Linux box, if that's publicly authoritative for the domain.
    Enter the host name and the IP address into the public DNS services that you have configured for the domain, or that you have at your registrar or ISP, or on that Linux box.
    You will need to have your ISP for the static IP configure a PTR record (reverse DNS) for the server, particularly if you're planning to run mail or related.

  • Vm fusion and quickbooks on mac server with pc in office, vm fusion and quickbooks on mac server with pc in office

    My Problem is our small company MUST use the windows version of QuickBooks and I would like to switch our windows environment over to a Mac server environment with all imacs and airs running VM Fusion with windows 7 and windows version of Quickbooks with the ability to access the Quickbooks from all computers.
    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to do this?
    We currently have :
    windows small business server, 3 windows computers, 2 ipads, 2 iphones. This all works ( we all can access the files at the same time )  but is getting dated and its time to upgrade
    Would like to switch all of the windows computers and the server to imacs & lion server if we can still use the windows quickbooks with VM Fusion.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    P.s. My wife is our in house IT person now but is not familliar with macs at all so I really need help to one up her on this
    Thanks,
    Chris

    You do not actually need to have OS X server.  Just the client OS X is fine if you are not doing anything fancy Mac wise.
    1. Install fusion on each machine.  You will create a new VM, install your M$ client.  Check to see what the minimum requirement is for the version of QB you are using.
    2. Stop the MS machine and go into the VM hardware>network and make sure it is set to bridged with default adapter.  By default it does something else which creates a seperate subnet.  Bridged means the VM will see the same network the Mac is on.  This is also done on each machine.  I manually setup the IP on the M$ machines for reliability reasons.  Make sure and do all the M$ updates and register it.
    3. Now the M$ machines will see each other on the same subnet as the Mac's.  Setup QB according to their instructions.

  • Access Mail on Mac Server with non-Apple device

    I currently have a Windows server with Exchange installed and am considering replacing it with a Mac Server. IF I do that, can my non-Apple Windoes 7 & XP computers access Mail on the Mac Server as they now do with Exchange?

    Yes and no.  You will be able to access mail via IMAP but you will have a dickens of a time getting Address Book and Calendars to work.  Apple uses CardDAV and CalDAV respectively for these services.  Your options on WIndows are limited.  See here for options:

  • Bridge Mac server with Windows possible?

    Hello Everyone,
    Well I was tossed a big issue on my lap. Our servers are running Windows Server 2003 with a domain name of nt_domain which you could tell off the back it has an invaild character with the _ . A gentlemen before me found a bandaid of using this program called Likewise which allowed the Mac's to join the domain with the illegal character. He left me with an image of 10.7 with the Mac already configured. Well the new iMac's do not support 10.7 which my image is now worthless and 10.8 doesnt seem to like the Likewise program. The program gets an error when trying to join the domain and completely locks me out of the Mac and I mean LOCKS ME OUT because no reset password method works which forces me to reload the OS. I have no idea what to do because our network team doesn't seem to care about the issue so they will no change the domain name. We have a Mac Server 10.6 and I was told that I could make my own domain on the server and bridge it to the Windows domain so the users could still have access to the network drives. Any suggestions????
    Thanks

  • StatsCollector, monitor a non-Mac server with BigTop ?

    Hello,
    I just discovered the new BigTop a few days ago, and I would like to know if anybody knows how to (if it's possible) monitor a Linux or BSD server with this great tool.
    I know it uses statsCollector to collect data, is this tool open-source ? (I don't know where to look for such things)
    If it is, is there any chance to be able to install it by hand ?
    Thank you in advance,
    Julien
    PS: Please excuse my english

    What's BigTop?
    The only reference I know of it is for monitoring load balancers from F5, but I doubt that's where you're looking.
    google doesn't appear to offer any clues, either.

  • I need to buy a mac server with 12 TB of HDD to share files in the network. i need some advices....

    Some body helpme please!!

    A Mac Mini Server configured with a Promise Thunderbolt array meets your general requirements.
    That configuration is available directly out of the Apple Store in various geographies.
    If you have specific questions or concerns, you'll need to post some details of those.

  • Back up Mac Server with Time Machine Server installed on the same Time Machine Server

    I want to back up several Workstations (“Workstations 1-4” in diagram below) and a Mac OS X Server (“MacMini Server” in diagram below) that runs “Time Machine Server” on that same “Time Machine Server.”
    Is this possible?
    The MacMini server doesn’t seem to find the “Time Machine Server” for backups. I read that this is due to the fact that Time Machine backups via network are organized in another way than “normal” Time Machine backups are.
    MacOS server is running MacOS 10.8.5 with server app v2.2.1(169)-
    workstations are running 10.10.1, 10.9.5 and 10.8.4

    The Time Capsule and Time Machine will automatically keep backups for each Mac separate.
    A user on one Mac will not be able to "see" the backups of the other Mac.
    You can add a few more Macs if you wish. 4 or 5 Macs would probably be a practical limit, depending on the size of the hard drive in the Time Capsule.

  • Will Mac Mini with OSX Server 10.6 Snow Leopard be able to fit my needs?

    Hello,
    The office i work in is a Mac environment.
    Is this unit powerful enough to support 20 people? This is the setup i was thinking:
    Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server - 2.66GHz : Dual 500GB:
    1st Internal drive - OS only
    2nd Internal drive - OS backup via CarbonCopyCloner
    Ministack USB drive - Data backup via Time Machine (file shares etc on server from services)
    Firewire DroboPro 16TB - Client Time Machine Backups via the Network.
    Would the Mac Mini be powerfull enough to support normal OS X Server services, and at the same time act as a client Time-Machine backup via the network?
    Thanks,
    -Mike

    The answer to your question depends on how many of the services you intend to offer.
    If you are just going to use the Mini as a File, Print, and directory server, then it will work fine.
    If you intend it to run as your web, email, database, and iChat server, you might be pushing things a bit much.
    Your drive layout looks appropriate for a simple file server, so I would tentatively say yes, it looks like it would do what you currently require.

  • Mac Mini with OSX server still OK?

    HI All,
    I was going to purchase the mac mini that was geared up to work best with OSX server however that option is now no longer available and the mac mini's have downgraded slightly in terms of quadcore processors and 2tb harddrives.
    We run a small design studio, file sharing is becoming a large hinderance on workflow and I thought OSX server sounded like a good solution for someone with little knowledge of the area. We have four imacs, and three macbooks. Our team is growing fairly quick and that number should double next year.
    Any ideas would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Just get the latest mac mini, add some external storage with a Thunderbolt 2 connection and that setup will work great for filesharing.
    You will get gigabit network speeds and since it's Thunderbolt 2 the mac mini will have no problem to serve those files across the network.
    Make sure you get external storage with a decent RAID setup like a Promise Pegasus for instance, and invest in a good back-up solution.
    Then clone your mac mini OSX Server setup daily towards the RAID and you're good to go!
    Get a Mac Mini with an SSD or Fusion Drive and 16GB of RAM. That'll keep you going for the next couple of years easy!
    Goodluck!
