New Lion Server and Client install... what to expect?

Ok, so in a week I have a Mac Mini Server and a classroom of clients to set up, image, OD master, connect to AD, manage prefs etc (If I had the choice, I wouldn't touch Lion for at least 6 months, but it's not a luxury I have).
I have no AD system to test it with here, so what fun and games can I look forward to? Looking around, it seems that binding to AD is currently rather unreliable

The 3800 can handle MaxTurbo and TV. You can feed your 5 TV Receivers over good quality RG59 or over Ethernet, or up to two may be connected via Wireless.
The preference is for Ethernet over Cat5e/Cat6 or Wireless. Wireless is liked by installers because they don't have to run wires for them. Ethernet is by far the best choice.
Since the 3800 (or any U-verse RG) only has 4 RJ45 ports, you cannot connect all 5 TV Receivers directly to the RG via Ethernet, so some would have to move to a switch connected to the RG. You need to be careful when mixing IPTV and general traffic on a switch, especially if you have a third party wireless access point or wireless router connected to that switch.
Do be aware of the limitation of no more than 4 LIve HD streams coming into your home at the same time. I mention this because you say 5 TVs. You can view different programs on all 5 TVs, but some would have to be recorded.

I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers

I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers. We can still surf the web when it goes down.

Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated permit_mynetworks check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access reject_non_fqdn_hostname reject_invalid_hostname permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
However, that's not the problem.
I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions. You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up. Private/policy I think relates to grey listing. Maybe gives you a hint.

ARD 2.2 Server and client - Installing package immediately fails everytime

Everytime I try to push a package...it immediately fails. I have been using Apple packages for updates and all users are administrators. I have all rights features enabled on the clients and the firewall is off. Can someone help me out on this one. There is no reason given in the results window why it is immediately failing...sometimes I will see the package copying over, but when it goes to install it fails.

I went through all the logs on both the client and the server and I do not see anything about a ARD installation failure...can anyone else help...
Thanks

Mountain Lion (server and client) and iOS Notes syncing

I run an IMAP server on my Mac mini running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and Server 2.2.1. I have an email account on this server and can access and update Mail on both my MacBook Air (Mac OS X 10.8.3) and my iPhone (iOS 6.1.3) and see the results on the other device. However, I cannot get Notes to sync.
I created a note on my iPhone but it does not appear on my MacBook. This is the only account that has Notes enabled on my iPhone; if I turn Notes off for this account the note disappears and comes back when turn them back on again.
I created a note on my MacBook but it does not appear on my iPhone. This is the only account that has Notes enabled on my MacBook; if I turn Notes off for this account the note disappears and comes back when turn them back on again.
How can I get Notes to sync between my OS X and iOS devices?
NOTE: Helpful as you may try to be, I am not looking for alternatives to Notes. Syncing to any IMAP server should work and there is nothing to say it doesn't work so I want to get it working for me. It is all about storing my data on my server and none of the other options address this.

After trying everything else, I discovered the answer by just "playing around:" You need to allow clear text passwords for Mail. Once I'd made this change my Notes automatically appeared and stay in sync on all of my devices (iMac, MacBook Air and iPhone). This is still working after the update to OS X Mavericks and Server 3.

Move just wikis to new Lion server (redirect one virtual host)

I have a bunch of services on my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard Server, including file sharing, VPN, subversion, wikis, several websites, a few webapps, etc. I don't want to upgrade that server right now, but I'd like to try upgrading the wikis to Lion Server and Wiki Server 3.
How could I move the wiki's to Lion Server on another machine? They are all accessed through a seperate virtual host.
We only have one public IP right now (I maybe could get a second public IP but don't want to just for this.) Everything hits my router (dd-wrt device, so quite configurable) which sends port 80 (and most other ports) to my snow leopard server.
One idea would be to have the router redirect another port (8080 or something) to the new lion server, and then put a redirect page on the original wiki address (port 80) to redirect over to 8080, which would then go to the other server. But that's not really ideal because then the users of my wiki would see it on a new port and a lot of times ports other than 80 are blocked by firewalls (not my firewall, but firewalls closer to my users.)
So does anyone have an other ideas on how to redirect the traffic of one virtual host to another internal machine behind NAT?
Separate question: any experience migrating a wiki from Wiki Server 2 to Wiki Server 3? Did it work well?
John

The best way to do this is to take the contents of /Library/Collaboration and put it in a location accessible from your newly set up Lion install. In Server.app, enable Wiki, and run:
     sudo wikiadmin migrate -r /Path/To/Library/Collaboration
After that, start the wiki and you should be good to go. You should bind your Lion server to the same Directory as the Snow Leopard server, to ensure permissions and users carry across successfully.

Lion Server and 10.5 Clients....

We're just setup a new Lion Server as OD Master and imported our users from our old OD using the "Restore" function within Server Admin.
My test Lion client can login fine using a network account but when I try the same account from a 10.5 client I get the following error:
You are unable to log in to the the user account "breilly" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred.
When I checked the console logs I found this error:
11/08/2011 14:21:02 authorizationhost[318] ERROR | -[HomeDirMounter mountNetworkHomeWithURL:attributes:dirPath:username:] | PremountHomeDirectoryWithAuthentication( url=afp://ncs-mac-od1.ncs.local/Staffhomes, homedir=/Network/Servers/ncs-mac-od1.ncs.local/Staffhomes/breilly, name=breilly ) returned 2
It seems very odd that I can log in on a Lion client but not a 10.5 client
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a simple way for unmanaged clients.
To point an unmanaged client to your update server, enter the following command in terminal:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://<your_server>:8088/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
(replace <your_server> with the dns name of your update server. If the unmanaged client runs snowleopard or leopard, adjust the url accordingly. For snowleopard clients, remove the "lion-" part. For leopard clients, remove the "lion-snowleopard-" part

Downloaded the new Lion software and now Mac runs slow. What went wrong?

I downloaded the new Lion software and now my Mac runs slow. What did I do wrong?

That didn' t fix it for me. and I also repaired and verified disk permissions that didn't help. So how do I do the next steps? Can you lay it out slowly for me please?
if that doesn't fix your slow down open disk utilities
-repair and varify disk permissions
-reboot and hold comman-R
-open disk utilities once your on your recovery partition
-repair disk and verify disk
-reboot and you imac should be running at tip top shape

How to start oracle database server and client in windows 8

Hi at all
I'm a new entry in this forum and I'm a beginner with database oracle.
I used always SQL Server as database and it was easy to use after installation.
With SQL Server configuration management program I could to launch the SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service and the database server start up!!
With SQL Server management studio I could to launch the client application, then was establishing a connection to the server and all was working fine!
Now, how to work with oracle database?
I installed oracle server and client version 11g R2 on windows 8, but how can I start the server database? .. and how can I start the client application for querying?
regards in advance.
P.S.: Sorry for my english.

SomeoneElse
thanks for the response.
I setting the service to start manually because otherwise windows is slow to startup.
In particular I have precisely this oracle service on my operating system after installation.
- ) OracleVssWriterSYSDBA
- ) OracleDBConsolesysdba
- ) OracleJobSchedulerSYSDBA
- ) OracleMTSRecoveryService
- ) OracleOraDb11g_home1ClrAgent
- ) OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener
- ) OracleServiceSYSDBA
What are the services that start the server and I have to launch?
What is the client program in menu --> start -- > all program --> Oracle - OraClient 11g home..... that I have to use for querying database?
thanks.

Creating a simpel network with Lion Server, and add Windows XP computers to it

We have a Mac Lion Server and 3 computers with Windows XP. Previously we had a Windows 2003 server with a domain name: "MYDOMAIN". When logging into Windows it logs into this domain.
I would like to replace this Windows 2003 server with my new Mac Lion server so, I build up a test setup. I connected the Mac Lion server (iMac) with my Windows XP pc with an ethernet cable. Then, I setup a DHCP, DNS and Open directory in the Server Admin. Added users. I configured the IP adres of the server to a static one by setting the IPv4 to "using DHCP with manual address".
Then I wanted to let my Windows XP server join the domain of the Lion Server, however I cannot let my Windows XP client connect to the domain of the Lion Server.
I read in the advanced administration that you can set up Windows XP for domain login. Where do I find the name of this domain? It should be stated in the server admin, open directory, settings, general tab, but the only thing I find here is: Role: Open Directory Master.
In Windows XP, when I explore in explorer the Microsoft-Windows Network I can see in "MYDOMAIN" the MacLion Server and my Windows XP pc. So sharing files is no problem.
However, I really want to create a new domain with my Lion Server and let the Windows XP pc's login to the new domain.
I hope anyone can help me.

Thanks for the info.
I read some stuff about this indeed, so I was thinking, because we have a small network, could it be possible to share files on the server via a workgroup?
If we add the 3 Windows XP pc's to the same workgroup as the Lion Server, would there be a problem?
Then at startup of Windows XP, should we login to the pc instead of the domain? And where would I find the Lion server in Windows XP?

I want to add a new Lion server to my network.

I am at the screen asking me if I I want to setup a new server or Transfer. Right now we have a 10.6 server that is doing the heavy lifting in our network.
My end goal is to use the new lion server to authenticate users, file sharing to osx and ios, vpn and maybe some server apps down the road.
My 10.6 server is now doing all of that. (minus the ios sharing and vpn)
What I like is to make the 10.6 server have some file sharing duties and well and a few other server apps, while the new Lion server authicates users, ect.
Will I be better off using the transfer wizard or just setting up new then configuring the two servers.
Thanks!
If I have left out any important details please ask me.

You don't need to configure it manually. Just choose

How can a VI be both server and client?

Hi,
I'm new in LabView and I'm trying to build a server and client VI using TCP/IP that runs in two computers. in my program I need both server and client VIs to communicate with each other which means I need both VIs to be server and client. I've tried using a case structure but it doesnt work. The only thing I achieved is a normal server/client system where the server sends a request and the client responses.But i need the client to send requests too.i have attached my VIs to this post.I would appriciate it if someone could help with this problem.
Thanks in advanced.
Rambaldi.
Solved!

Do you really need a client and server on each PC? If you simply need that two to talk to each other they can once the client connects to the server. In most cases you only need one server.
What Steve said about the not using the same port only applies to two servers on the same machine. A client must use the port the server is listening to and if the client and the server are on the same machine then they will both use the same port. However, only ONE of them is accepting waiting for connections on that port.
In the code you posted you actually swapped the names. What you call the client is actually the server code and vise versa. In networking a server is an application that listens to an assigned port, accepts connections on that port and provides whatever services it has implemented. A client is an application that establishs a connection to a server. Once a connection is established the two applications can communicate in both directions. The applications themselves will define how the conversation should progress and whether it is a one way conversation or a two way conversation. You don't specify what you are trying to accomplish but I suspect you only need a single server.
In TCP, every connection is defined by the source and destination IP addresses and the source and destination ports. The server uses a known port (FTP is port 21, HTTP is 80, telnet is 23, or some custom port in the user space beyonds the reserved ports) to listen for connections. The client will use the well known port of teh server and generally picks a random port for its port number. The LabVIEW VIs do this automatically. This is how a server and a client on the same computer can use the same port number. Two servers however cannot. The server application can spawn a child task allowing it to service multiple connections at one time though. Each connection will be unique though since the client's port number, address or both will change for each connection.
OK, end of networking 101.
Can you describe in a bit more detail what exactly you want to accomplish. Given that I could probably provide you with more information for your application.

Try to use one comupter as both server and client

Hello, everyone, I am just trying to use my own computer as both server and client to test some codes about networking. For example, use the sample code in java tutorial which is used to test Echo server(code is listed below). Is there anything I have to do to set my computer, such as set my hostname or something like that?
I am a pure newbie. And the purpose of this question is to test some code including socket on one PC without connect to internet.
I have tried to change the name "taranis" in the following code to the computer name of my own PC, but it doesn't work, and said: Couldn't get I/O for the connection to: (my computer name).
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class EchoClient {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Socket echoSocket = null;
PrintWriter out = null;
BufferedReader in = null;
try {
echoSocket = new Socket("taranis", 7);
out = new PrintWriter(echoSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
echoSocket.getInputStream()));
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
System.err.println("Don't know about host: taranis.");
System.exit(1);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Couldn't get I/O for "
+ "the connection to: taranis.");
System.exit(1);
     BufferedReader stdIn = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(System.in));
     String userInput;
     while ((userInput = stdIn.readLine()) != null) {
     out.println(userInput);
     System.out.println("echo: " + in.readLine());
     out.close();
     in.close();
     stdIn.close();
     echoSocket.close();

Did you write the EchoServer and start it on your
machine, listening on port 7?
You can have the client and server running on the same
machine or different machines, but they have to be
separate pieces of software.
Write a separate EchoServer class that starts up and
listens on that port. Then start the EchoClient and
make the connection.
%yeah, I didn't wrote the EchoServer class. But I thought it is automaticly included and therefore has run once I start my computer.
If I write a EchoServer class, then how should I set the host name of the EchoClient, just simply change "taranis" to my computer name (change "echoSocket = new Socket("taranis", 7);" to echoSocket = new Socket("(my comptuer name)", 7);"?

MultiThreaded Server and Client connections query.

I have written a MultiThreaded Server to accept incoming client requests.
Multiple clients can connnect to this server and have a conversation.
I invoke the 'MultiServer' from the command line and then invoke 3 clients
from the command line.('Client').
c:> java MultiServer
c:> java Client
c:> java Client
c:> java Client
All the 3 clients now run in their own thread and send messages
to the server.
The problem I am facing is this:
When client1 connects to the server and sends a message to the server (with the server responding)
it works fine.Both Server and Client can exchange messages.
When client2 connects to the server and sends a message and when the server
responds with a message,the message does NOT go to client2,but goes to Client1
As Clients have their own thread to run,shouldnt the messages also be delivered to
individual clients
Am I missing something?

Taking standard input for multiple threads from one console is quite unpredictable. I think the first client thread is waiting for input when you connect the second. You type something into your server window and since the first thread was waiting for input, it takes the input and sends it to client 1.
