Mountain Lion and Network Server

I am new to the Mac world and now have a super iMac working with Mountian Lion, Paralles 8 & Windows. I have a synology NAS and, with NetDrive everything works pretty well.
I want the principal folders of the NAS to appear on my Desktop when I boot or wake-up after sleep and this works well too. However, Finder opens each of these primary folders so before I can work I have to close an open window for each of about 10 folders. This is tedious. Of cours, I need to open the primary folders on the NAS at times but to have all oepn on starting the computer is not what I want.
What I have I not got right? I want to see the primary folders on my desktop. I need to be able to use Finder to get into them. I do not want to have each of them open automatically eacht time I start the computer. Can anyone help?

Thanks for your reply.
I believe I got it to work, but,... How do you get the network account users to show up on the login window of the client computer? The login window shows the name of the client computer and the local accounts on the client computer. When I select Other in the login list I can login using a network account user id and it logs in. The network account user names do not show up on the login window

Trust relation between mac server 2.2.1 (10.8 mountain lion) and windows server 2008 r2

i have the following settings:
windows 2008R2 domain server.
mac server 2.2.1
mac client machines
mac server machine is joined to Active Directory in windows 2008r2 without any problems.
mac client machine is joined to mac server without any problem.
the only problem is that i cannot log in to the mac client machine with a username from the active directory in windows 2008r2. i can log in with a created user on the mac server.
i did a trust relation in windows 2008r2:
Realm trust
Transitive
One-way incoming
still cannot log with ad users. can anyone help me in the configurations if i missed something? i am new to mac servers and their configurations.

does this mean that on every mac client i have to join 2 domains, the windows domain and mac domain?
Yes
then, why to use "workgourp manager" in mac to copy all the active directory users to mac server group? i do this to make all users available for authentication through mac serve ronly.
Am I right? The users on your macserver are a copy of your users of the AD? It was not necessary to do that. Because all Users will listed on the Server.app on the User-Manager if you setup was correct. And this means:
- first join your Mac (used as Server) to your Active Directory
- second Install the Server.app. The Setup Wizard will do the rest.
In my case, on the Usersection an the Server.app I will find "Benutzer von FAMILY-NET" that is my Active Domain.
and if i join the mac client to windows domain for authentication, why do i need the mac server for? i need only to authenticate users in active directory on mac os x and that is only it.
In this case - you need no Mac Server!
Only if you want to use the Services of the Mac-Server (DNS, Wiki, Mail,...) or Manage you IOS/Mac Devices. Than it is necessary.
sorry for my many questions, i am very new to mac os x and server.
No problem. I lived in Mac-Worlds since 2 years. I infected with it with the purchase of my first iphone.

I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server

I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server. It says check your user name and password are correct. Well they are, and were. Nothing has changed except the mac OS.
Has anyone else suffered this and knows a way around it? Too annoying to log into my mail every 15mins via a web page anymore.
Efforts tried to resolve this so far:
retyped user name and password, removed account and created a new account, restarted computer, software update, searched forums. so far all have proved unsuccessful.
I have also written to my mail provider and am waiting for feed back from them, but if anyone has any advice it would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Mike

Many users upgrading to Mountain Lion have run into this problem, myself included. You likely have corrupted settings for your "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" for each of the failed Accounts. Open Mail>go to Mail's Preferences>Accounts>select an Account in the left column to work on>then set up your Outgoing Mail Server which will INCLUDE resetting up your Password, as its asking you to. Click on "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" near the bottom of the Accounts window while your mail account is highlighted in the left hand column. When you click on SMTP... you will see a drop down box icon offered at the right side of the line. Click it and then select at the bottom of the the list "Edit SMTP Mail Server". Fill in the required settings for your ISP mail account using their recommended settings.

I have just installed Mountain Lion and received a message that "speech Synthesis Server.app could not be opened because it is damaged or incomplete", please advise me what to do now.

Something went wrong with your upgrade.
Back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

Hello, I'm using Mountain Lion and mail does not leave the mails on the server, either on iCloud nor on other suppliers (orange). They are both using iMap protocol... Any place where I could change this ? Thanks for any hall; Christian

Under what circumstances does mail "not leave the mails on the server"?
If you mean that you delete them (or move them out of the inbox) on one device and then find them not in the inbox on the server when you look from another device, that's how IMAP is supposed to work. (Note that the deletion or moving might be the result of rules you have set up in Mail.)
If you mean something else, please explain your issue in more detail.

Upgraded to Mountain Lion and Can't Get Calendar to sync with Exchange server

Why do I have to buy Mountain Lion and Mountain Lion server to upgrade my Lion server?

Hi !
I can't find any option in app store to direct buy OSX Mountain Lion Server to upgrade my Mini i7 Lion Server ?!? Just necessary purchased the Mountain Lion and BUY AGAIN OSX Server Packet $19, billing Twice ?!?!

You are looking at a radical change, 10.8 Server is not an "Upgrade", it's an application. The previous Apache is still at its old location but is unused xcept for some .conf files. The arrangement and configuration of 10.8 Server.app is a big change from 10.7 so plan on some relearning. You will buy the application Server.app which on first run installs components at /Library/Server/*. Most everything is now inside the Server.app package in the Applications folder including all scripts for Wiki pages and several Apple specific Apache modules. Apple is also replacing the messy *.conf flat text files with plist files so that is an improvement. In addition, Python script support is now built-in as well as WSGI for those running Python webapps.
Having said that, some parts have sharp edges so don't expect full operation for a few versions.

Email Setup MAC (Mountain Lion) and IPhone4

We continue to have issues when setting up email on MAC Mail (especially with Mountain Lion) and IPhone4. It works just great on all our existing devices, and on outlook on PC, but boy, that MAC Mail and iPhone are just getting impossible. Thank God for JING to send screenshots to convince ADOBE help that I am not just making typos... Nevertheless, they have been unable to help me get these accounts setup--needless to say, our clients aren't very happy.
If anyone has any suggestions, they would be much appreciated!! It's been a rough week with this email stuff.
Katie

Thanks Mario,
Yes you are correct. It did have to do with the MAC settings. It seems SMTP problems with Mountain Lion are not uncommon. I also went into System Preferences Network>WiFi>Advanced Hardware>Manually> MTU: Custom > 1300. After playing with the server port (25) and the authentication (not SSL) but password--as was shown in the directions that were provided, I did get it to work. That all did the trick!
The day I was contacting support, the MAC couldn't detect the servers--and then, of course, we had the email problems again, so it was pretty hard to figure out exactly what was going wrong. I guess we are going to be using gmail from now on.

Just upgraded to mountain lion and my HP Laserjet p1102W won't connect

Just upgraded to mountain lion and my HP Laserjet p1102W to print (worked fine via USB with Snow Leopard; I never had set it up wirelessly, though had wanted to do so.) HP site said if printer worked with Snow Leopard nothing would need to be done; update of drivers would be automatic within Mountain Lion upgrade. No such luck. My Macbook Pro and HP Printer are not talking to each other. HELP, please!
I have a Macbook pro.
When I tried to print, I was told to get new drivers from HP. HP site says what I wrote above, that I need do nothing if printer worked with Snow Leapord. Also read that a new HP Laserjet would need to be connected only via Airprint. So, I have deleted the printer from the print queue, thinking that might help, but I can't find how to install it via Airprint?? After deleting the printer and having no luck with connecting wirelessly, I tried plugging in USB from printer to MacBook pro, too, thinking maybe that would help, but there is no recognition at all.
What am I missing???
Thanks!

Airprint is for IOS devices and thus has no relevance to this issue.
Connect the printer to your Wireless Network and use Bonjour to detect nd connect it.
That's wrong. AirPrint is not just for iOS devices. Since HP doesn't provide drivers for this printer, they say to use AirPrint:

Create a bootable Mountain Lion OS X Server installer ?

With Lion and Lion Server it was possible to create a Lion Server installer just bij adding a ServerVersion.plist file in the folder CoreServices.
Adding that enabled the normally greyed-out 'Customize'-button that installed the Server.app and ServerEssentails.pkg (nevertheless an internet connection was still required).
I don't go in details here too much but is a similar procedure possible for Mountain Lion ? To install OS X Server in one row ?

Not that I am aware of. If you find a way please disclose.
I fear that this is no longer possible and the reason I say this is that we have already gotten a few BTO mini Servers arriving with Mountain Lion + Server.app installed. However, if you erase the drive and perform and Internet restore you no longer get Mountain Lion + Server.app installed. You get Mountain Lion and then need to go to the App Store, associate the device with an Apple ID which grants you access to Server.app for download.

I have paid for mountain lion and it says it is dowloading ....but nothing seems to be happening? it is a macbook 6,1 (4 years old?) and is currently running OS X 10.6.8

i have paid for mountain lion and it says it is dowloading ....but nothing seems to be happening? it is a macbook 6,1 (4 years old?) and is currently running OS X 10.6.8

It's a 4+ GB file. It takes some time if you have a slow Internet connection. You may have lost connection with the server. Try pausing the download for a few second then restarting.

I've upgraded to mountain lion and cannot receive email

Can anyone help?
I've upgraded to mountain lion and now cannot receive email in any account although I can send emails
Thanks

I have exactly the same problem but with a worringly more complex situation. I too can see TC in finder. I can see the backup disk for my iMac in TM. I can also see the backup disk for my MBP in TM (this sits on a HD that is daisy chained to my 1TB TC).
Here's the worring bit. My MBP was upgraded to Moutain Lion but my iMac is still on Lion. Both have the same issue in that all disks can be seen as normal but not connect to make backups.
I receive the notificaiton that includes: "cannot connect...xxxtimecapsule.local. Verify server name or IP address. "
I have made a backup since the Mountain Lion upgrade with no issues then suddenly it cannot connect to repsective backup disks on either machine. I was attempting a restore of my MBP from my backup so I could have a cleaner disk to create a new partition for windows. When I choose the backup disk to restore from (in recovery mode) was when it failed to connect and its been downhill from there.
Router works fine and I am still connected to my dsl modem,
I have reset TC and all machines. I am now at a complete loss!

Mountain Lion and smtp failure

I have installed Mountain Lion and can no longer send emails from my o2 email account. They arrive via the POP server fine, but won't send on the SMTP server. Anyone know of a fix for this?

Have you tried a different email client, Sparrow Lite is available free of charge in the App store. It may prove if it is Apples Mail that is faulty or something in the OS. Note the Lite version is Ad supported but that would not matter for testing.
I have not tried Sparrow, Apple Mail has always worked for me but it would be more information to give Apple on the feedback form http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Are there any error messages either in Mail or in the console logs?
