MacOSX server update from China

Hi all,
i've installed a US MacOSX server 10.6.4 version on a MacPro bought in China. The installation process goes fine but when i restart the server after an apple update the server displays a frozen black screen. I've repeated this procedure 2 times, are the updates from China not compatible with the US version? :/
I've seen the possibility of upgrading the preistalled software to server but i didn't verify that an eventual update will not mess up the system.
Install a chinese version would defeat my purposes, any suggestions?
regards
K

If at all feasible, I would try the following:
Back up and ensure your backup(s) are good
First option:
- Download the full 10.10.x installer from Apple (i.e. rather than the updater) and then run it
- Download Server 4x and install it
Second (highly drastic) option (and the one I've just employed to resolve a number of irritating issues; hopefully you won't need this because it's a lot of work
- Download the 10.10.x installer and make a bootable external drive with it
- Use Carbon Copy Cloner or similar to back up your server
- Back up separately key configuration data from your server
- Boot from the 10.10 install disk you made
- Erase the server hard drive and install 10.10
- Install Server 4x and restore files you need from your CCC clone
- There are specific items in the Server config that you need to make sure you can recreate: Open Directory database, DNS settings and others.

  • Will Lion server update from SL server maintain wiki contents?

    I would like to know if the upgrade to lion server from SL server will erase or make unusable the contents of my Wikis, blogs and websites.  What would  I have to do to preserve them as functioning services if I upgrade to Lion Server?

    Thanks, I don't have a good handle on this. Here is the tail of named.log while problem was happening and even during the start. Perhaps, it is running, but server admin doesn't think so and lots of other services are hung or turn themselves off (web, wiki, profile manager ...)

    There isn't much here to look at.
    changeip -checkhostname does work when this occurs.
    Also, open directory stays running.

  • I had over 200 e-mails.  I went to my webmail and deleted most of them.  However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails.  How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server?  Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well?  Thanks.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Server 2012 R2 cannot update from 2008 R2 WSUS server

    Our WSUS server is on a 2008 R2 VM.  Updates for all 2008 R2 and lower servers, and Windows 7 clients work fine.  I have one Server 2012 R2 in production and it cannot check for updates.  It gets 800b0001 as the error code.  I can
    click on check for updates from Microsoft, then it does reach out to the Internet, download and install updates.
    I also tried from my Win 8.1 laptop and I get error 8024402C.  Any idea's?

    I found in another thread the fix.
    In regedit go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup and change "wYukonInstalled"
    from a 1 to a 0.
    Installer succeeds.
    However now the Update Services console does not work.  I get a connection error.  
    It's one thing after another with these things.  I don't understand why Microsoft can't ever make something simple.  IISReset did not cure this either.
    The WSUS administration console was unable to connect to the WSUS Server via the remote API.
    Verify that the Update Services service, IIS and SQL are running on the server. If the problem persists, try restarting IIS, SQL, and the Update Services Service.
    The WSUS administration console has encountered an unexpected error. This may be a transient error; try restarting the administration console. If this error persists,
    Try removing the persisted preferences for the console by deleting the wsus file under %appdata%\Microsoft\MMC\.

  • Clients cannot update from WSUS server - error 8024400E

    Alright, so I'm troubleshooting our WSUS server and seem to be stuck. I am running WSUS 3.2.7600.226 on Server 2003.  The client I have been using for testing is Windows 7 x64, but we have this issue on all clients (XP, 7 x86, and 7 x64).  I started
    with an error of 800B0001 and after googling installed KB2720211 to fix it. Now I am getting error 8024400E on clients when I attempt to update. I followed a technet walkthrough and verified that my WSUS settings are all correct (at least regarding iis,
    registry, gpo settings, and file system permissions). I am able to download CAB files from the WSUS server by going to the proper address in a browser. Here is a snippet from my WindowsUpdate log on my client:

    the instructions on a technet site to disable the update and am still getting the same error. I'm stumped at this point, and I thought I would post here in the hope that someone can help me before I end up just wiping it out and reinstalling (which I'm worried

    the instructions on a technet site to disable the update and am still getting the same error.
    While you're definitely on the right track, the Office2003SP1 update really has not been an issue since WSUS Service Pack 2 was released in October 2009 (and really, the Office2003SP1 update that was the cause of this was replaced long before that even,
    so you probably don't even have the defective update on your server).
    However, the error is generally associated with the presence of defective update(s) on the WSUS server, so the first thing to do is address any potential issues caused by a failed install of KB2720211.
    If the error still persists after verifying that all other aspects of the server are fully operational, review the list of not-Declined updates on your WSUS server and make sure that:
    All Expired updates are Declined (and then run the Server Cleanup Wizard and let it delete the expired updates).
    All approvals for older revisions have been removed (and then run the Server Cleanup Wizard and let it delete the older revisions).
    All approvals for superseded updates have been removed. (And then, when they report as 100% Not Applicable, decline them, and then run the Server Cleanup Wizard so that it can delete the files associated with those updates).
    Once all of the potentially problematic updates have been removed from the view of the Windows Update Agent, and if this error then persists, we can evaluate it from a more focused perspective.

  • My workstation won't see Software Updates from my server

    Hi guys,
    I'm toying around with Software Update Services. I've setup the Software Update service on my Xserve, and I've downloaded the update packages & made them available for clients to download.
    The trouble is, when I run Software Update on my workstation, it still seems to connect to Apple for updates; instead of the workgroup server. How do I troubleshoot this? If I look on the Xserve, there is nothing in the Server Admin logs for Software Update that relate to my workstation failing to connect. In Workgroup Manager, I have the Preferences set for my workstation where "Software Update server to use" is set to "http://bugs:8088". With Safari on my workstation, I can open http://bugs:8088 and see the directories where the packages are stored... yet Software Update ignores them!
    The Xserve is running OS X Server 10.4.2 and my workstation runs OS X 10.4.5. Any suggestions? Thanks!
      Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I to am having the problem with my test client not getting updates from the server. I am the lone IT man in this company so I've had to work slowly to get my Mac server online. I am following the System Imaging and Software Update Administration guide. It said to enable the service, enable and mirror the updates I wanted. For an unmanaged client (like this one) do:
    defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://ifire.local:8088/. Each time software update runs I get no new software available. I used terminal with softwareupdate -l and followed the process. I get 'Unable to use product xxx' on everything and the line that followes is 'Failed to load distribution file xxx.' I know there is one update for me, Quicktime.
    !!HELP!!

    Hi,

    Only *Security Updates* have MSRC Security Bulletin numbers, but not all security updates have MSRC Security Bulletins associated with them. In fact, there are a large number of security updates that are not associated with security bulletins. -242- of 'em
    on my WSUS server.
    Otherwise, the MSRC Number field will always be blank on non-security updates, and may be blank on security updates.

  • I have a Iphone4. Trying to update from 4.3.3 to IOS 5 or 6.  There is no 'Update Software' button under Utilities/General. Tried updating using Itunes but it comes up 'The Iphone software update server cannot be contacted' ????

    I have a Iphone4. Trying to update from 4.3.3 to IOS 5 or 6.  There is no 'Update Software' button under Utilities/General. Tried updating using Itunes but it comes up 'The Iphone software update server cannot be contacted' ????

    iOS 4.3.3 doesnt have the "Update your Software" tab so you will need to go to itunes and back up your iphone then restore your iphone and it will download the latest iphone software (6.1.4) if you dont want 6.1.4 download your current version and hit shift on your keyboard (alt if your on Mac I think) and click restore iphone and find your downloaded software 4.3.3 then download iOS 5 or 6 and do the samething after your phone boots up from restoring it to 4.3.3.

  • After auto update from 3.6.3 to 3.6.13, "proxy server refuses connection". I have to uninstall 3.6.13 and install 3.6.3 in order for it to work again.

    I have been very satisfied with Mozilla Firefox until recently. I have Firefox 3.6.3. Every time a box appears with "installing updates" it installs updates then the screen goes to "problem loading page" and "the proxy server is refusing connections". The only way I can get internet access is to go to "control panel" then "add or remove programs" then I have to "uninstall mozilla firefox 3.6.13. Then I click on my "Firefox Setup 3.6.3, and I install that version. Once I do that, everything works fine again. It is such a headache because I can't prevent the "installing updates" from happening and once it happens, it does not work, as described above.
    Any thoughts???????
    Russ Carlson ''moderator removed email address and cellphone number''

    I have this problem also.
    Can't bring up the Hotmail screen.
    I am looking for a simple way to
    get rid of 3.6.13.
    I tried restoring to a point
    before the Dec 10 upgrade but when system
    restored Firefox was still 3.6.13
    I guess I will have to abandon MOZILLA FIREFOX
    and start using MICROSOFT IE

  • Configuring Server to update from Localhost

    Please pardon my ignorance.  I'm a Unix guy.  I'm not a Windows hater, just a little frustrated.
    I'm working with a disconnected network scenario.  The export server has been synchronized and the WSUSContent and metadata have been transferred to the Import Server (Server 2012 Standard).
    The question now is how do you get the Import Server to update from itself?
    The WSUS Configuration in 2012 only has the option to point to another upstream server.  Do I simply point it to itself?  It can't be that easy.
    Next question is, how do I get Server 2012 to initiate an update?

    WSUS is the server-side aspect, WUAgent is the client-side aspect.
    Your (disconnected) WSUS, and the WSUS configuration of it, relates only to it's role as a WSUS server.
    The machine (as does every other Windows machine) also has WUAgent (the WU client component) which needs to be configured, and, can be configured to be served by itself.
    Treat this aspect of the WSUS server, just as you would all of the other clients that will be served by this host.
    i.e., on the WSUS server machine, configure the relevant WUServer registry settings (manually, or via admin template/GPO)
    How does WS2012 initiate updating? It's the same as for every other Windows machine (either client or server OS editions):
    configure the registry settings (you can use the GUI to set the updating behaviour, but there is no GUI method for setting the WSUS server name to be managed-by).
    You can also use console commands such as: wuauclt /detectnow
    You can check the resultant activity of WUAgent by examining c:\windows\windowsupdate.log
    (example of windowsupdate.log from my Win8.1 pc, after initiating the detection)

  • Obtain drivers from MS-Server and updates from WSUS

    Hi,
    is there a possibility to obtain drivers from the MS Server and the "other" updates from the WSUS-Server?
    We have workstations with Win7 and XP and pluged in devices (USB) should obtain the drivers (if available) automatically from MS-Server.
    Obtaining drivers through WSUS is not an option.
    The Group Policy "Computer Configuration\...\Windows Update" is set to obtain updates from "intranet Microsoft update service location".
    Should there be no possibility to distinguish between driver and update obtaining locations,
    then is it possible to set WSUS as primary obtaining location and as secondary the MS-Serve? 
    Greets, 
    Emmanuel

    Like I mentioned before I tried to use this:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753091.aspx
    1. Try:
    Step1:
    I uninstalled the device and deleted the driver of my testing device. (local)
    Step2:
    I have created a new GP on Server 2003R2x86 (AD/DC) and linked it in the OU where my test-PC is located.
    .../ComputerConfiguration/Administrative Templates/System/InternetCommunicationManagement/Internet Communication Settings/TurnOffWindowsUpdateDeviceDriverSearching-->disabled
    Step3:
    I restarted the test PC with a logonscript: "gpupdate /force"
    Result:
    It didn't work.
    2.Try:
    Same procedure, but instead of creating the policy on the '03 Server, I created the policy with RSAT for W7.
    Result:
    It didn't work.
    Now I have a new question:
    Isn't the above mentioned policy for this?:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/automatically-get-recommended-drivers-and-updates-for-your-hardware
    I ask, because this is exactly the setting that has to be changed so that everything works the way I want.
    (at least for the Win7 PCs. I don't care much about the XP-PCs because they will be replaced in the near future)
    Well one option is to change this setting manually on every PC, but this would be a huge PITA.
    Can this be done in a policy or with a script (registry?)?

  • Windows Xp machines cannot connect to Windows Server 2008r2 after Update from Microsoft.

    After allowing sever updates from Microsoft, My customers XP Machines can no longer connect to the Windows server shares using the server name.  We get "can't find path error".  I can ping the IP address but not the Net-bios name.  I
    can connect by ip address but have a software that must use the name "server" in an executable.  The workgroup sees all of the other computers just not the server, the server see's the windows 7 machines but not the XP machines.  I have
    tried every fix I can find in the forums and online.  I did find and AD and DNS errors during the update.  Errors 4004, 4005, 4015.  Things I have tried: ipconfig flushdns, renew, registerdns, nbtstat -A servername, etc.
    Thanks

    As IP address works but not NetBIOS name, it seems like a DNS or WINS server related issue as Milos said.
    If there is no WINS server configged, check DNS settings (server side) and suffix settings (client side).
    Which system is updated, Windows XP or Windows 2008 R2? You can check the recently installed updates and provide us a list about all updates just installed.
