  • Lion server users on that Mac or the network?

    This question is so 101 I'm almost afraid to ask it: when you create users in the Lion server software, are these users for that specfic Mac (just like any Mac user) or are they user on the network who will share the server services? 
    I can't get past this fundamental set up. I only want one user to admin the server software, but I have 5 users of other macs in our office who I want to be able to use the server services, like email and wiki.
    How do I set them up? 

    Look in the Server App, if the users there have a small blue globe on them then they are Network Users. If they don't have the globe then you aren't serving an Open Directory Master.
    Follow the advice in the Next Steps panel in the lower part of the Server App.

  • How To Set Up Mountain Lion Server/Point DNS to Mac Mini Server

    Hello, First of all I have no experience with setting up servers whatsoever. Below is what I have
    - Mac Mini with Mountain Lion Server
    - Time Capsule as my router
    - Comcast as my service provider
    My goal is to set up my MacMini as a sharepoint for files and other data with my other partners.
    - I have purchased a domaine name from NetworkSolutions. Does this mean that they are my DNS hosting as well? Not really sure. My biggest question is how to point my DNS to my mac mini server correctly.
    1. How do you point the DNS to my mac mini server.
    2. I've read somewhere to use the IP address from my mac mini server. The only IP address I see is from my Time Capsule (router). I know what my public IP adress is but I am not sure if that's the one to use. I think once I figure this DNS thing I can figure out the rest.
    Thanks - Need lots of help.

    Here's a detailed write-up on setting up internal (private) DNS on OS X Server, and no, you're probably not going to be setting up external DNS on your servers.  Your public DNS service will be hosted on and served from the Network Solutions DNS servers.

  • 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.

  • TS1702 I upgraded software from Snow Leopard to OSX Lion. Now my Office Mac applications would not work

    I upgraded software for my MacBook from Snow Leopard to OSX Lion. Now my Office for Mac applications would not work. Can anybody help? Thanks

    Quite seriously, though, if you wish to use MS Office to it's full potential and if you depend on it on a regular basis, then upgrading to Office 2011 is the only reccommended way to go. You can use the free Apps mentioned, learn to use iWorks (which I love, but others don't) or make your system a shambles and lose your easy to use interface by the other method. Deduct the cost of Parallels from MS Office and it becomes pretty cheap, if that is the only PPC program you wish to use, which is the norm as PPC is long gone from development.
    MS Office 2011 is not expensive if it is one of your major work tools. Think of those who had to update their Adobe software!
    Anyhow Cheers

  • Installing Lion Server on brand new Mac Pro Server

    So we received a Mac Pro Server with 3x1TB drives and a raid card last friday.
    Unpacked it today and booted it up from the recovery partition and launched raid utitlity, as usual its 3 seperate drives (no raid).
    So I deleted the second and third volumes leaving only the preinstalled lion server and recovery hd on the first volume.
    Called Enterprise Support and got a few knowledge base articles about installing. One of them being about "internet install" which states if you replace the drive with recovery hd on it you can still boot your machine via internet by holding down Cmd+R.
    Doing so leaves me with a Folder and a question mark, so it can't find anywhere to boot from.
    Doing the same thing with any new mac delivered with normal lion on it will succeed in booting on the same network from apples internet install.
    So how do I go about deleting the primary volume (with lion and recovery hd preinstalled) and creating a raid5 over these three drives?
    No USB drive with Lion server delivered. It's not needed, of course not...
    No DVD with Snow Leopard server delivered.

    Simply install CS5.5 right away and it will ask for the previous serials for verification.

  • Will Mountain Lion Server be slower that Lion Server on my 2009 Mac Mini?

    I have a 2009 Mac Mini running Lion Server. Specs are: 2.0 GHz 8 GB ram.
    As always, I'm wanting to reap the benefits of the latest OS without upgrading my hardware. I know mirroring won't be supported, but who cares about that on a server.
    Does anybody have Mountain Lion on a similar setup?

    We've found Mountain Lion Server to run just as fast as Lion.  MLS boots a bit slower on our Mac minis, but it's
    neglegable.
    Also have had trouble migrating from Lion and 10.6.8 server to Mountain Lion Server.  Issues with Open Directory and Mail.
    Hope Apple puts out a .1 release to address the issues soon.

  • Lion and lion server add on for Mac Mini Server

    I bought the Lion OS and Lion Server add on for my Mac Mini Server which runs Snow Leopard Server. When trying to install the Lion,
    it requests the Add on to be available, however the add on requests the Lion to be already installed before it can be downlaoded through
    App store. I made my purchases over the phone as neither was available in stores anymore. Egg and chiken dilema.
    I do not have a physical DVD with the Snow Leopard (Client) to follow some of the instructions I have read in the communities. Any
    workaround?

    For the Mini you must have Lion client installed to purchase the Server. You can download Lion from the Mini while it's running Snow Leopard. Once Lion is installed you should then be able to purchase the Server.
    Unlike past OS X Server releases the bulk of the software is within the Lion client. The Server is more or less a type of add-on to provide all the Server utilities and support. It's a relatively small download compared to the client.

  • How to uninstall lion server and reformat my mac mini

    Hi. I just purchased a mac mini server. I DONT LIKE THE SERVER SOFTWARE!!!!!
    How can I reformat my drives and install Sno Leopard? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!
    Thanks

    Do you have 10.6 Client? Does it boot/run on the latest Mini?
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    From there you can reformat or erase the Disk

  • Can you run Lion os and Lion Server os on the same Mac mini?

    I'm a windows convert to Mac and I'm interested in running a standard Lion Client, but at the same time running Lion Server on the same Mac Mini (Server Edition).  My needs for the Lion Server OS is to handle e-mail, a Web Site, and file sharing between the server to a secondary PC, iPad, and iPhone.  But at the same time I wish to dive into the Mac (Apple) experience.  I just wish to be able to do this on the same machine.
    As a secondary question, is it possible to merge two different iTune Accounts into one?  Is it possible to share items purchased on one iTunes account with an iPad that is tied to a different iTunes Account?

    1. Yes, but you'll need separate partitions for each OS, or run the client OS in emulation.
    2. It isn't possible to combine the accounts, but a single iTunes library can contain content from multiple iTunes Store accounts.

  • Should I upgrade to Lion or stick to Snow for Office:mac use?

    I got a macbook pro 13" without the Lion upgrade, and I want to install Office for Mac. I just use this computer for research, papers and web surfing. Should I install Office:mac 2008 with Rosetta, or upgrade to Lion and get the Office:mac 2011?

    I think i need to correct my provious post.  It seems that Office 2008 does require Rosetta, but only during the installation process.  If you install Office 2008 on a Snow Leopard Mac and later upgrade to Lion, it will still work.  If you need to install Office on a Lion Mac you will need to to use 2011.

  • ¿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.

  • Lion server file sharing issue with windows API read/write ini file (GetPrivateProfileString)

    Hello,
    I try to config lion server as file server for a windows application we use at work. All other computers are windows 7 or XP, lion server is the only mac. I choose lion server because it's size, quality and personal love of apple products.
    10.7.2 lion server's samba file sharing works almost perfectly with all my windows machines, I can copy, delete, modify any text files or office files without any issue, but the most important windows application for my business doesn't work with samba file sharing. After some digging, I found it is because windows program can't read or write INI file stored on lion share. Windows API GetPrivateProfileString always returns empty if the INI file is store on lion share.
    You can download a small application for read/write windows INI file from codeproject.com to test this problem:
    http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/ini.aspx
    I can open/edit the in file using any text editor without any problem. The only problem is with those windows APIs. ACL is turned on for my lion share and assigned "delete" rights to samba users.
    I install samba3 on the same server; it works perfectly with windows API. My windows program also works. Looks like there is something wrong with lion server's sambax.
    I'd prefer to use built-in samba even I have samba3 working. Built-in samba is very immature right now, but considered how young it is, I will give apple some time to make it mature.
    Does anyone have same issue or knows how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Michael.

    All the memory is fine. The server rarely if ever goes down when there are only around 10-12 users connected. When there are 20+ users connected and working heavily it goes down often. When I say working heavily, I mean they are transferring huge files to the SAN (100GB+), sometimes 5 at a time per user, and there are a bunch of others who are reading large video files at a minimum of 220MB/sec from the SAN.
    Though this worked on Snow Leopard without any issues, Lion just doesn't seem to be able to handle it. The odd thing is, on Snow Leopard there was only a single 1GB ethernet connection to a NAS system, whereas with Lion we have a much more powerful machine with a 6-port 10GB ethernet card and a 4 lane 8GB fiber card to a true SAN. You would think that the newer scenario with Lion would handle far more users with ease.
    So far, very disappointing with regards to Lion's file serving performance.

  • Lion Server Network Account loses all created files after logout

    Hi,
    I am new to Server, I got Lion Server working on a Mac Mini and everything was alright until I added users from existing client machines. I created new Users on the Server App with the same name and passwords as on the existing client machines, logged in as root on the Server and copied the client user home folder contents from an external HD into the User home directory on the Server. After that I ran Batchmod on all the User folders on the server and everything seemed to be working alright, now the only problem is, if you create a file or folder on the desktop it is not there anymore the next time I log back in. The accounts are setup as Network Accounts, and they are available from any computer in the office, they just don't save any settings that have been changed or any files and folders.
    I have found the "Convert a local Home into a Network Home" post to late, http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20050331212133607&query=migrate%2B
    does this sound like a permissions issue, and if so, can I still repair it or is it better to start fresh?
    Thank you

    I think your problem has a rather simple solution, since all files in a directory aren't modified unless you tell the OS or a program you've installed to.
    To keep the external hard drive mounted even when nobody is logged into your server, enter the following into terminal:
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount \
    AutomountDisksWithoutUserLogin -bool YES
    I think your server is looking for the external Hard Drive, but can' tfind it and thus defaults back to the internal HD.

Maybe you are looking for
