Mountain Lion Server bond support?

After migration to new Mountain Lion Server from Snow Leopard Server, the Server App don't recognize the Ethernet aggregation of my Mac Pro! The services that was active in Snow Leopard Server are active, but if I try to stop the service of net install I don't try to restar the services because there isn't no interface!!!!! it's Possible? And probably it's the same for the other services!!!

Yea, I actually run our current SUS on an older Mac Pro. It provides both Apple software updates and Adobe software updates (for our Adobe deployments) and is dedicated to these two services. My primary server (running Mountain Lion—capable of Mavericks, but again, because of the File Sharing issues in Mavericks Server, we're sticking with ML Server for the time being) is a loaded 2009 Xserve—which I don't run "secondary services" (my term <G>), like SUS, on.
Unfortunately, the current SUS box won't do Mavericks Server (though, I have tested running a VM of Mavericks Server, just for SUS and Caching, inside the physical OS, and it worked fine, but seemed like a waste of system resources and just really didn't make much sense—and a bare metal install doesn't work because of RAID, etc.), so I was considering the Caching Service in ML as an alternative (if it did, in fact, feed Mavericks clients). I realize I could just "turn it on" and see what happens, but would rather look into first (as I assumed others would have ML Caching Service on, and probably had Mavericks clients on the network, so would have the info I was looking for).
Anyway, at this point, unless ML Server Caching Service will do the trick, Reposado it is.

  • I am running Mountain Lion Server, and the App Store indicates an upgrade to Server.App version 2.2.5. When I try to upgrade it will not install. Is that because OSX8 is no longer supported; and if so, is there an alternate source for this upgrade if

    Mountain Lion Server.app no longer supported?

    Probably  a long shot, but try resetting the App Store and Clearing Cookies.

    regarding mountain lion server: clients experience intermittent service connections. the server system log has the following error- Client handshake failed (6):113: Server not accepting client connections. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thank you

    Hi Jason
    I was getting the same behavior after Apple support had me delete some plist files to get Airplay going. I was also getting the following error:
    the error occurred while processing a command of type 'writesettings' in the plug-in 'server vpn'
    I went into ~/Library/Preferences/ and /Library/Preferences/ and deleted every plist contating the word server. I had to re-set up my server (meaning walk through some intial steps) but all of my settings were still there after that and everything started working again.
    Just a thought, obviously try at your own risk but it worked for me.

  • Server App can't connect to a Mountain Lion server

    Hi,
    I installed OS X Mountain Lion Server (2.2.1) on a 2012 Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.4. I am able to access all the options using the Server.app on the Mini. Then I installed the Server.app (2.2.1) on a 2010 MacBook Pro running 10.8.4. On trying to configure the Server options on the Mac Mini from the MacBook Pro by providing the correct Mac Mini admin credentials, the password is not validated correctly. This happens when both the systems are on the same network or on different networks.
    I am certain that the username / password provided is correct, since using the same credentials I can successfully remote into the Mac Mini using Apple Remote Desktop (3.6.1) when both the systems are on the same network or on different networks.
    My situation supersedes the resolution provided in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3960?locale=en_US. Note that the command sudo launchctl list | grep -q com.apple.servermgrd && echo loaded || echo not loaded returns loaded on the Mac Mini.
    Please help!

    I am having exactly the same setup and exactly the same problem - nevertheless I would like to add some more information in order to hopefully find / get help from other readers in here.
    I am using DynDNS - not a dedicated domain. I do not utilize an AirPort Extreme for port forwarding and else. All the necessary port forwardings were triple checked!
    - First of all "Apple Remote Desktop" is able to connect to my server over the internet (screen sharing) and locally in my LAN. No troubles here.
    - My iOS devices can connect using various VNC clients without any troubles.
    - VNC connections started within Safari (MacBook Pro) do work very well, too.
    - All kinds of WebDAV connections are working like a charme.
    - When connecting with "Server.app" from my MacBook Pro it asks if I would like to trust the self-signed certificate before I can enter name and password. After trusting that certificate it doesn't matter which account information I am entering: none is accepted. It does not make any difference if I am using a local user account or a user network account (both configured as being allowed to administer that server). "Server.app" does not accept any information provided.
    I've been following the KB advice, too that c xavier mentioned. "servermgrd" is loaded!
    For some odd yet unknown reason neither WAN nor LAN FTP login does work, too. It just gives me a time out, as already mentioned WebDAV is working fine.
    Sorry I could not help You, c xavier! I just thought that some additional information could help...

  • Complications migrating from Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion Server.

    I'm migrating from Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion Server. The article "OS X Server: Upgrade and migration" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5381) says
    "Make sure that any DNS or DHCP servers on which your server depends remain running during the upgrade"
    This advice is reinforced by the details of the article "OS X Server: Steps to take before upgrading or migrating the Open Directory database" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5300).
    As the server I'm migrating from provides these services it will need to be running during the migration process. This would seem to limit my options to doing the migration from a Time Machine backup (or, making a seperate clone of the server's drive and connecting it externally to the new box)
    My main concern is the seemingly inevitable clash that is going to occur on the network as the new server takes on the roles of the old one - while it is still running.
    What are my options here ?
    This is my second attempt as on my first try I did the migration from the TM backup with the network down - and none of my local network users or their home directories were migrated, although the settings for the mount points were, but there were no actual directories where they pointed to!
    Clear directions on how to procede would be VERY MUCH appreciated
    Thank you.

    Moving from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion means first installing the client (non-Server) version of Mountain Lion and then install Server.app this means that for at least part of the process you will not be running DNS, DHCP or Open Directory.
    If you are going to end up using the same DNS name and IP address after the change then an approach you could follow would be as follows.
    Destroy any Open Directory replicas
    Archive your Open Directory Master (to make a backup)
    Note down your DNS records in case they get messed up
    Export via Workgroup Manager your users, and groups (you might not need this but better safe than sorry), make sure you do not include the diradmin account
    Keep a full back of the server (you should always have backups)
    Note down your DHCP server settings in case they get messed up
    Note down any other service settings
    Install Mountain Lion
    Install Server.app
    Install Workgroup Manager (extra free download)
    Run Server.app
    Make sure settings for services are as much as possible the same as before
    If your lucky that may be all you need to do, otherwise...
    Restore Open Directory archive, if your lucky that will be all you need to do, otherwise...
    Make new Open Directory Master
    Run Workgroup Manager
    Import users and groups you previously exported
    You will then have to set passwords for each user as these are not preserved via Workgroup Manager export
    When I did this, I was also being forced to change all my IP addresses so I had no choice but to use Workgroup Manager to export and import accounts.

  • Snow Leopard client for NetRestore image not being recognized in Mountain Lion Server

    I target firewired a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and ran System Imaging Utility and the machine does not show up as an option. Does Mountain Lion Server support Snow Leopard NetRestore images or am I doing something wrong?

    I'm actually trying to figure that out as well. We have 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 Images we wanted to put together for our netrestore images on our server, but can only do 10.8 images currently.
    We also have the AppleCare Helpdesk diagnostic kit which includes hardware tests, we were only able to get the newer mid-2012 and late-2012 Diagnostic utilities to netboot but none of the older ones.
    So do we need a server running the older OS to get these or is there a better alternative? i mean really shouldnt be a problem considering theyre running inside of an image and dont rely heavily on the server resources other than to say "Yep, goto this file/directory".
    I'd like to know more as well....

  • Additional email address for user in mountain lion server

    I have a new installation of OS X Mountain Lion server (10.8.2) that I am wanting to deploy.  The problem that I am running into now is that there is no way that I have found to add a second email address. 
    I have multiple domains so, i need to have "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" for the same user.
    Has anyone seen a way around this?

    Wow - just after I answer back, I found a download for the Workgroup Manager at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1567.  I probably need more sleep.
    Yes, it is just Server Admin that is no more, Workgroup Manager is still at the moment available.
    For your information another less pleasant means would be to directly modify the Open Directory record using either the command line or the Directory Editor launched from Open Directory Utility which in turn is launched from the Login Options "Join..." button.

  • How do I properly change the server name in mountain lion server?

    I need to change my server name to a FQDN, but tried this with Lion server in the past without success. I know in lion you'd use server app, but that's no longer avaiable in mountain lion server and I want to make sure I get this right the first time.
    Thanks!

    I was able to get everything working with some assistance from Apple's enterprise support. After changing the host name, the DNS was still not resolving properly and I couldn't turn on open directory so that I'd be able to start profile manager. The DNS interface is considerably different than that in previous versions of server. The network was set to manual ip with dhcp, which was pulling back an external IP. Overriding the DNS info coming in via the dhcp, setting it to localhost, resolved the issue.
    Thanks!

  • No Entry Sign when trying to netboot new MacMini to Mountain Lion Server

    My company just purchased a new MacMini i5 2.5 GHz and I am trying to netboot it to my Mountain Lion Server 10.8.2 but I am getting the No Entry sign when it tries to boot to the server.  I tested my other Mac computers that are in my environment and they are able to netboot to the server fine.  It just seems to be an issue with this latest Mac Mini. 
    As part of my troubleshooting, I created a new netrestore image from the new Mac Mini using System Image Utility on the Mountain Lion Server.  The server successfully created it and I set it as the new default image in the NetBoot server.  After taking these steps, I am still getting a No Entry sign.
    I checked the log on the server to see what is happening when it tries to boot and this is what is displays:

    I'm seeing the same behavior with a new Late 2012 Macmini6,2 (2.3GHz quadcore i7).
    I have a lab with several variants of minis up through the last generation.  One of those minis is a NetBoot/DeployStudio server.  I have it hosting a 10.8.2 NetBoot image, which works for all of the other lab minis but this new one.
    I have tried 3 different methods for NetBoot:
    Holding the 'N' key at boot
    Holding option and seeing my NetBoot disk in the selectable options
    Booting into the restore partition and selecting my NetBook disk from the Startup Disk preference pane
    All 3 options result in what is described above - the Ghostbusters (minus the ghost) no entry sign.  My particular mini then shuts itself down shortly thereafter.
    My NetBoot server log looks similar to the above, where my BSD INFORM messages have sysid=Macmini6,2.
    I have confirmed that - on the restore partition at least - the shipping OS on the new mini 6,2 is 10.8.1.  It's likely a custom edition for this new hardware.  It's possible that a component of a 10.8.3 update would fix it, but I'm unfortunately leaning toward this being an EFI firmware issue.  I've noted on another site that these minis seem to have issues with VMware's ESXi, where the suggested course of action will be an Apple firmware update: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/423099
    As the lab is hoping to purchase 40 of these systems, NetBoot support is rather critical.

  • Where's the Mountain Lion Server Documentation?

    Been waiting all day for Mountain Lion Server Documentation the be posted to no avail. What gives? Especially need the Mountain Lion Server Upgrading & Migrating manual. I help run a small educational cmoputer center in Santa Cruz CA and we need to transition from 10.5 Leopard Server on an old G5 Power Mac to 10.8 Mountain Lion Server on a new 2012 Mac mini as soon as it goes on sale. We particularly need the Workgroup Manager migration app documentation ASAP. Can any Apple employees explain why the Mountain Lion server documentation is not posted even though you can download the Mountain Lion Server since this morning?

    Good Luck in Migrating from 10.5 Server to 10.8 Server... There's soo  many  changes..  Each time I've upgraded since 10.2.X server, I've always had to manual migrate things. Forget the automated upgraded process since it always hangs for me.
    As for 10.6.8 Server, Apple changed the imap/pop server software from cyrus to dovecot. There's a script if I recall somewhere in 10.6.8 Server convert the imap mail of all the users.  However before you run that script I recommend that you rebuild the imap structure in cyrus before you do...

    Okay, here's the scenario:

    MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion
    Server: 
    Mac Mini running Mountain Lion Server using an SSD boot and Promise Pegasus Thunderbolt RAID
    Prior to updating the Mac Mini to Mountain Lion Server (previously just using regular Mountain Lion) I was happily backing up using Time Machine over AFP.  Since the update to Server I get the Time Machine message:
    "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."

  • 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.

  • OS X Mountain Lion server spontaneous DHCP?

    I have DHCP service provided to a small school network by an Xserve running 10.6.8 server, not the new Mac mini server running 10.8.2, because the service is much more configurable in the old version (likely known to anyone perusing this forum). But we started having printing issues, and it turns out that the Mac mini started giving out IP addresses recently, despite the service being "off." Since it didn't have the reservations set, it gave some printers the wrong IP. I never turned the service on, but I wonder if the 10.8.2 update adding it to the Server app actually turns it on.
    The Console log shows lots of DHCP Offers and acks, it should show none. Under Server.app Services, "Your Mac now provides these services: File Sharing, Software Update, Netinstall (which services the iMac lab). Under DHCP, the service is off, but it shows clients to which it leased an address.
    I restricted the pool down to two addresses to reduce the possible problems, but I want to know a long-term fix. Something is horked.

    I should clarify my thoughts
    Have you noticed the progressive dumbing down and removal of services with osx server since snow leopard
    If you read the kb for mountain lion server you'll see that netinstall can use the dhcp service independently
    At one stage there was no GUI for dhcp at all and upgrading lion to mountain lion preserved dhcp setting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5412
    Additional Information
    The bootpd process, which is used by the DHCP service, is also used by the NetInstall service, but you can use either service independently or both together.
    I have heard of cases of the bootpd.plist having no dhcp entries
    Try running
    sudo serveradmin fullstatus netboot
    And have a look at dhcp

  • Use Mountain Lion server (Mail) as a Microsoft Exchange alternative?

    Dear community,
    I googled for this question (see topic) and I found some threads (also on the Apple Support Communities) of people asking the same question, rather they mention Lion server and not Mountain Lion server. When I look at some reactions to those questions I see replies saying that you should only use the Mail server in small scenarios (30 - 50 people) and some say it would be wiser to stick with Microsoft Exchange.
    I am wondering if you guys think about this the same way. I work for a school with roughly 1500 users and 400 employees. So that's approximately 2k useraccounts / mailaccounts. I'm sure I want to get rid of MS Exchange for various reasons, should I give the Mail server a try or should I search for alternatives?
    Kind regards, John

    John,
    you really can't compare Apple(s) with ... well Microsoft(s).
    It is not up to the number of users, as Mark23 already said, because postfix will be capable of handling more mails than your users will produce any day. Rather it is up to what you expect to get. Exchange can deliver you more services, workflow integration and user experience than postfix/dovecot/calendar/address book (of cause you have to pay a price!). But what do you need?
    Just mail? Shared calendars or address books?
    Maybe you are looking that way just to get mail. Do you need kerberized services? Are your users mainly using Mail app? Do you want the simple configuation interface that comes with OS X server instead of standard files? Then go with OS X Server. Otherwise you might consider a linux box with postfix and dovecot.
    But it's all up to your requirements.

Maybe you are looking for
