New to Mac OS X Server!

I bought my first Mac just 5 months back, & so far have no clue of Mac OS X Server capabilities.
We area planning to buy a Mac OS X server for our organization, our organization currently consists of both Mac's & PC's
Keeping this in mind, can Mac OS X Server perform below tasks.
- File & printer sharing
- Internet monitoring, Internet filtering, internet rules ... etc
- Schedule backup of all clients
- VPN connection for remote workers
- Antivirus / Firewall solution for securing our entire LAN network
- Mass mail / bulk mail soluyion
- Connect it to dumb terminals
Which of the above can be done right out of the box w/o installing any additional s/w & how?
Which of the above can be done using the standard Mac OS X?

Hi
Most of your questions can be answered by simply browsing Apple's website.
http://www.apple.com/support/snowleopardserver/
You could then make a start on the Server Administration Manuals:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macosxserver
One you've armed yourself with enough information you should be able to answer the rest of your questions yourself?

Simple Home networking with Mac OS X Server

Hi all,
Can anybody give me a quick guide to setting up a basic home network with the use of Mac OS X Server for central administration?
I have 2 desktop macs, 1 mac laptop and 2 PC laptops and occasionally I have a number of friends bringing around their laptops.
I would like to set up all the basic services so that guests and registered users can access share points and home folders . I would also like to be able to use the DHCP service for this and be able to use basic services like DNS and AFP.
Does anybody know how to quickly set this up on a private home network?
I am new to Mac OS X Server so be gentle
Thanks.

John Detroye works for Apple education in Colorado, USA. He has written what i consider the best practical guide to setting up a Server system for use in a School, which is essentially what you want to do. Although he wrote it initially for 10.3 Panther Server, almost all of it still applies.

HELP! NEW TO MAC SERVER MAIL

Call me a dumb but I am new to our Snow Leopard Server software coming from a Windows server. I have watched tutorials at Lynda.com and went through manuals but don't understand how to set up our client mail. We are confused with the instructions because the Mac server allows you to set up "user mail" for you own company.
We are looking to set up a bunch of e-mails for all the different domains we host on our server. These are not our personal company e-mails but our client e-mails for the different websites we are hosting for them.
So how do we set up and configure (add new) e-mails for the different domains on our server?
I hope I haven't been confusing and you guys understand what I am asking. Thanks!

There are a couple of ways of handling multi-domain email. The 'right' way for you depends on several factors, including exactly how you're trying to implement mail/domains, how comfortable you are with command line vs. GUI configuration, and number of users.
If you're just looking for a catch-all email for each domain it's probably easier setup using pure postfix virtual domains. that requires command-line configuration, though.
Using the GUI will require that you add every user to your directory and then give them additional 'short names' that match the email address(es) in the other domains.

Why do new hard drives keep failing in Mac Mini OSX Server?

Why new new hard drives keep failing in Mac Mini OSX server?

If it only failed in 8 days.. I just return the drives back to newegg and get a different brand like western digital. NewEgg has a 30 day return policy.
If you deal with any hard drive manufacturer now, they will give you a refurbished item and not a new item that you are entitled.
As for testing hardware....
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
even if it still passed Apple tests.. it does not mean logicboard is fine..... it just means it passes the tests.
At this point, If i were you, I would just go back to NewEgg and send back the Seagates letting know they are bad and prefer a different brand such as Western Digital.
Install the Western Digitals and see how long they last. If they fail again in a a short amoung of time, it's the logicboard then.
This is based on experience in dealing with repairs with Macs, PCs, and other various kinds of Servers and computers over the last 10+ years.
In fact, One of my clients who has a Dual 4-core Intel Xeon Server with a Supermicro logicboard, one of their SATA drive ports are bad. Every 4 months like clock work the Mirror RAID Drive would degrade on that port. Then after figuring out that the drives are not necessary bad, I swapped to using another spare SATA port and since then no problems.

Where can I find mac OS X server serial number, i am trying to set up a new mac mini server

where can I find mac OS X server serial number, i am trying to set up a new mac mini server

You should find a card (size like a cd jacket) with serial no. It should be put all together with an installation DVD and user manual etc.

Not clear about dns service for new Mac 10.4 server

Due to low budget, I am given the task to convert a powermac g4 into a Mac 10.4 server. I have already installed it as a stand alone master but will promote it to directory master as soon as I configure proper dns setup.
Now my westell router shows that the dns is 192.168.1.1 and the domain name as myhomwestell.com, does that mean my zone name has to be westell.com? Can having both dns service conflict with each other or is it fine?

http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5409254#5409254
lookup my posts on DNS setup to help you about. Please mention if you want to go full a Fully Qualified Domain Name Setup or just a local setup . Do you dispose of a fixed public IP address as well ?

Mac OS X Server on the new Intel based Mac Minis?

I've successfully been running Mac OS X Sever on my G4 based Mac Mini. Does anyone know if it can be run on an Intel Mac Mini? - The install appears to work, but Server Admin doesn't see the Mac, and Software update doesn't seem to find any updates.
Anyone done this successfully / know if it can be run?
Thanks.
Mac Mini Intel

Thanks everyone. I called Apple and they actually said it was supported (I spoke to the guy in the Mac OS X Server support area). He said to do what is described in this thread, and then install the incremental updates to Sever admin.
I did all this, but it doesn't work - so I think at this point, we have to assume it's not yet supported.
I suppose you could still install Mac OS X Server on the mini, and then use Server Admin on a different machine to manage it...?

Using my home Mac as a server

I would like to put my pictures on the web so that certain clients can view their photos with password. I photograph weddings and would prefer to make html slide shows of their wedding pictures so that they can view them anywhere with any computer. I would like the setup to be as simple and reliable as possible. I have an additional 250GB drive in the Mac that I wish to use as the storage of individual folders that contain the slide shows. If it would help I can get a dedicated 2nd Mac as the server if necessary. I was told that I would need a static IP address and some kind of software. I thought I could use file sharing on my computer but after reading numerous articles over the net, I am quite confused as to what I need. All I want to post is photo galleries that have about 600 to 700 pictures each that a client can view and that I can delete some or all of them after 30 days to be replaced by new ones. What software, hardware, etc. would be necessary to do this. Any suggestions welcome.

OSX server or client are both capable of handling this, as long as you have enough disk space. A site like this would probably only require a simple script on the server, server side includes (.shtml) and some javascript in the page itself. Frequently changing directories with basic authentication would probably best be done with .htaccess files. It isn't brain surgery, but there are reasons that people can make a living doing this kind of work.
A static IP would be needed so that when the users aim their browser at your site, they're not aiming at a moving target. Be aware that many/most/all ISPs that have home broadband networks block web servers.
Try turning on the web sharing, and try making one of these sites and see what comes of it. One cavaet that I see coming, is that the names of the images will probably vary from one shoot to the next, so that's why I was thinking that a server script to list the the image names and put them into a javascript array for the page to use to call for the different images.

New to Mac - how to re-install when G4 won't boot from CD

Hi all
I am completely new to Mac, so bear with me here. I recently bought three G4's from my employer (they took over some old offices of a company that went bust and left all their equipment, which has been lying around for some years now). Wow, for a PC-guy like me it is quite a switch
Anyways, I managed to get one of the running and re-install with new OS (Panther) as I have the original discs.
However, one of them is causing me some problems. It is running OS X Server and has been setup with password - so when I boot up I get prompted to log on and can't get any further. It read a few places that it should be possible to boot from the install discs and then re-set the passwords. I tried holding down C when booting, but the machine won't boot from the CD. Tried holding C before powering on, before the chime, after the chime, when the logo displays, etc. Nothing helps. The key on the keyboard is working (tried it in the user-name box when I get prompted to log on)
I don't care about the conents of the drives - just want to re-install. But how to do that when the C-key isn't working to get it to boot from CD? Guess one of my problems could be that I don't have Mac keyboard and have to plug a Windows-keyboard into it. Also tried pressing the ALT key at boot up, but that does nothing either.
Help?

It is a server yes. But it doesn't matter though about the lock.
Here's what happened so far which also solved my problem:
- Moved around on the RAM sticks and then managed to boot into OF
- Reset security-mode as described in various forums and guides
- Still couldn't boot from CD - even after resetting PRAM and NVRAM.
- So I searched the net (sorry to my boss for not doing much work today) and when I came home I was armed with many useful hints to do the dance with the machine.
... but just before we stepped onto the dance floor, I noticed a post-it taped to the side of one of the OTHER machines (I bought three from my employer's storage sale and all three from the same company whose offices they took over). And on that post it was two words one of which was Administrator. It turned out that the other one was the password. Dough. So much ado about nothing. But, at least I learned a lot about the Mac-world along the way.
However, when I pop the CD in I cannot see it when I logged on - faulty device? in "ABout this Mac" is shows the DVD-drive just fine. Is it concivable that someone could have disabled it some way? If so, how do I enable it again?
Thanks everybody for all your patience with me

Dual boot OS X 10.10 plus OS X 10.6.8 on new 2014 Mac Mini?

Hi,
I am currently thinking about buying a 2014 Mac Mini. As I still need to use some very expensive (albeit old) software, I would like to run a copy of OS X 10.6.8 (strapped for cash).
I currently own a 2011 MacBook Pro 17" and I have partitioned the disk and run OS X 10.9.5 on 700GB and OS X 10.6.8 on 50GB. This has worked great for the past 2 years. I simply press ‘alt’ on booting and select my OS depending on which software I need to run.
My question is, can I do the same with a new 2014 Mac Mini using one of my Time Machine back-ups (install from Time Machine option on istall)?
I would be very grateful to anyone who can offer me some advice.
Many thanks,

Other than running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Server in a virtual machine as previously suggested your next best option is to consider buying a secondhand older Mac that is capable of running 10.6.8.
Just to make it clearer, 'ordinary' 10.6.8 is not allowed due to Apple's license terms to be run in a virtual machine only the 'server' version is. The server version of 10.6.8 can run normal applications and you do not have to use the server bits itself. If you try installing the 'ordinary' 10.6.8 in to a virtual machine it will not work as they check for this.
The new 2014 Mac mini will not run 10.9.5 either, the 'oldest' version the 2014 model will run is 10.10, it will of course also run 10.10.1.
1)     Older Macs are just that: older and out of warranty. So of course the user is subject to the risk of hardware failure without necessarily much warning and little or no recourse (other than purchasing another older Mac) when the hardware does fail. This may also be a different problem for the OP, as cost appears to be a major consideration here.
2)     The use of Snow Leopard Server in Parallels will cost about $99 retail (less, if some shopping for "discounts" on Parallels is done on the internet).
Installing Snow Leopard Server into Parallels for DUMMIES:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=17285039&postcount=564
3)     It was a common myth that the Snow Leopard EULA prohibited its virtualization in Lion and thereafter on a Mac. That myth has been debunked in the 3-1/2 years since Lion was first released and repeating it now does not make anything "clearer" but only tends to confuse an OP.
In any event whatever remains of that long forgotten debate is now mostly moot since Apple reduced the sales price of Snow Leopard Server by 95% (by telephone orders only; 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A); that is, for the same $20 as it sells Snow Leopard client and it is much easier to install, use and maintain Snow Leopard Server in virtualization, including Parallels.

Edit the default wiki template on Mac OS X Server

Hello,
I'm so new to this, I have a Mac Xserve with Mac OS X Server, I successfully enabled the following services and all up and running smoothly according to the criteria of my company:
ical Server, ichat Server, Web Server, MySQL, Podcast Producers Server, Mail Server, Wiki, and Blog Server. http://www.macsrv.cmrdi.sci.eg
I need to know how to edit the main template of the wiki and blog server (start page) to be able to add our company logo and so....
otherwise, I need to know if I can ser Unicode on it to add RTL languages like Arabic, I know I can type Arabic in the topics and there is not problems with this.
Regards

Start by reading this: http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/ExtendingYour_WikiServer.pdf
You will create a custom theme. Copy all the .xsl files into your theme folder. Modify default.xsl for most of the sub-level pages. Modify group_listing.xsl for /groups and /users pages. Your server index page is located in Library\WebServer\Documents. Most of what you want to do can probably be done through CSS.
Once your custom theme is finished set it as the default in the Admin Panel.

Can't send mail using webmail on Mac OS X Server 10.4

Could someone help me figure out why I can't send email via webmail on Mac Mac OS X Server 10.4. I tried in and out of my LAN but it will not work. I am pretty sure that it's no firewall issue because it won't even work inside the LAN. Another thing I have considered is DNS issues. But my SMTP and POP3 works fine. Don't they use same DNS mail exchange record. Or should I ask my ISP to create a new record for webmail?
