NW65 SP8a server keeps abending

My server was running fine for 79 days and then an abend. Still having problems with abends. Hope someone can check this out and give me an idea on where to start. I'm currently looking at installing mandatory post SP8 patches and see what happens.
Any input on this problem is greatly appreciated.
thanks, Lin

Additional Information:
The NetWare OS detected a problem with the system while executing a process owned by SERVER.NLM. It may be the source of the
problem or there may have been a memory corruption.

Hi.
Your abend is in Storage Manager, I suggest you ask over in it's group.
Also you omitted the muldule list of the abend.log, so we have no ide
what version you're running. First thing, check for updates.

Best way to replicate a directory share to a new Windows 2012 serv, keeping all permissions and timestamps the same?

We have a legacy Windows 2008 R2 server, with a single network share on it, that was acting as a primary file share. Inside the network share are about a dozen different folders (with subfolders) all with different permissions applied to them at the
folder and file level.
I want to migrate/copy this entire directory structure to a new Windows 2012 Standard server, keeping all the timestamps, permissions, etc. exactly as they are on the old directory structure. Both servers are part of the same single Windows 2008 R2
domain.
What would the best practice method for achieving this? Using XCopy? If so, what syntax would I want to use with the command to make sure I don't lose any permissions or change any data and timestamps during the migration?

Hi
I recommend you use robocopy to accomplish it.
Technet Guide for robocopy command:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145(v=ws.10).aspx
Microsoft RoboCopy GUI tool. Tool

Note: Its always good test in test environment, before applying it to production servers

Proxy server keeps asking for authentication

My MacOS10.7.3 server coordinates a small subnet of 100 macs. To access the internet as provided by the larger organisation we must go through a proxy server. Unfortunately the proxy server keeps asking for authentication and checking the Remember This Password barely helps. Any tips would be appreciated.

Server 2012 X64 R2 DNS Server keeps shutting down after inplace upgrade from Server 2012 X64

Hi,
ever since upgrading from Server 2012 X64 to Server 2012 R2 X64 my dns server keeps shutting down every several minutes before having to do a restart. When viewing the event log this is all I see..
The DNS Server service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 497 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
if I look in the Application Error Log, I will also find the following:

I have tried removing and then reinstalling the DNS Server role, but the same situation occurs..
thanks,

Hi,
I'm going crazy, I've upgraded my Server 2012 Standard to Server 2012 R2 Standard and now my DNS server keeps crashing since the in place upgrade. I have finally narrowed it down to it only crashes after several minutes if I load the data from
a file instead of the registry. As a test I:
-1- killed all my dns data,
-2- uninstalled the dns server role
-3- deleted the /windows/system32/dns directory
-4- reinstalled the DNS server role
-5- used the wizard to create a DNS server and a forward zone.
everything works okay, no crashes, then I change the advanced propertied of the DNS server to load from file, restart the DNS server and once again it crashes every 2 minutes..
Please help, this is killing me..
thanks in advance..

Error_log in apache server keep on growing

I found the error_log in apache server keep on growing in every second! Anyone can tell me why it's growing like this?
I have Oracle 9i Database on Windows XP Professional on Core 2 Duo/ 2 GB RAM machine.
I have a peculiar problem. The error_log file in C:\oracle\Apache\Apache\logs\error_log keeps increasing in size rapidly, until my whole hard disc of 250 GB gets used up. The first time I had this problem, I thought it was some virus, then I traced it to this file.
I tried deleted this file, but again its cones & stars growing until I STOP HTTP server.
I also tried to make error_log file 'READ ONLY' but issue is not resolved.
Can anyone tell me what the cause and solution of this problem is.
Help appreciated!

Help! - Xserve running Mac OS X 10.6 Server keep hanging!

I have a situation here where the Xserve I set up running Mac OS X 10.6 Server keeps hanging after a while. I have re-installed from the scratch thinking it was the third party software I used in importing users and groups but the problem is still there. I checked the error log of directory services and the only error I can see is "Network Transition Occurred". I read some fix on the internet as regards to the spotlight re-indexing being the likely cause. I have enabled the privacy setting of spotlight with the hope that this will stop. I am still waiting because I implemented this some couple of minutes ago. Do anyone know the solution to this issue in case the spotlight setting does not work. I am kinda frustrated with this issue.

There are many possible issues.
Network transition, to me, sounds like there is something happening that is changing the network settings. Disable any wifi if you can. Check and double check all network cables, static IP addresses, DNS, make sure there are no rouge DCHP servers on the network, or multiple routers, etc...
I would check to see if there are networking issues.
Also, if you're running Time Machine (TM), try turning it off for a few days (of course, have a good solid backup actively running, just not TM, which isn't really the best for a server anyways for various reasons.
Cheers,
Daniel

Check out this post regarding this user's continuing use of Eudora on his Lion MacBook:
Shield Eudora from Lion's Claws
A thousand thanks and kudos to Michael for this fabulously excellent thread!
Eudora's now happy in her new Snow Leopard VM home on my Lion ModBook!
Appears essential to keep resource-forked data off Lion disk:
First attempt with Eudora on SL VM was sharing data on Lion disk. Error messages on open like "can't find Table of Contents" suggest Lion ate resource forks crucial to Eudora.
Found success by transferring data from SL Mac to thumb drive, then mounted drive in SL VM so Lion couldn't touch.
While Michael warns against storing data in VM, appears there's no choice with Eudora. At least She's enthroned on a mirrored RAID.
There is Nothing like Eudora! (to tune of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from South Pacific -- Oops! my gray hair is showing!)
(It's amazing Parallels can force Lion to store taboo resource forks. Thank God for code warriors!)

Stack dump: SQL Server keeps crushing

My SQL Server keeps crushing with a stack dump error saying:
(in the management studio error log):
spid197 External dump process return code 0x20000001. External Dump process returned no errors.
spid197 Stack signature for dump is 0x000000014A5D4200
How can I investigate this further and what do these errors mean... also what does this return code mean and what does this signature dump code mean and where can I read more about them?

Ethernet Print Server Keeps iMac G5 from sleeping

Hello All,
I have a small home network setup with a router to share my DSL Internet connection.
My iMac G5 has never had any sleep problems before. But, with the recent addition of a US Robotics Ethernet Print-Server, the iMac G5 no longer sleeps automatically.
It will sleep fine if I use the power button to sleep it. But, it will not sleep if I let the "Energy Saver" activate it.
The iMac G5 does turn off the display when it is supposed to (in the energy settings). So, it will sleep the display. Just not the computer when the Print Server is attached to the network.
If I unplug the print server from the Ethernet, then the iMac G5 sleeps just fine when the energy saver kicks in.
Further, if the time to sleep has elapsed, and the computer is still awake, then I can unplug the print server from the Ethernet and the iMac G5 will go to sleep a couple of seconds later.
Interestingly, the Mac Mini I have doesn't stay awake. It sleeps just like it is supposed to. It doesn't care if the print-server is attached or not.
The Mac Mini and the iMac G5 are both configured to communicate with the Print Server. It uses AppleTalk to share my printer (a Hewlett Packard LaserJet 5mp).
The iMac G5 is running OS X "Tiger" 10.4.3 and is updated to the current level (all updates). The Mac Mini is running OS X "Panther" 10.3.9 with all the available updates installed.
The system specs are all in my footer below my message.
Any ideas?
It is obviously the print-server keeping my system awake. If I un-plug it from the network then everything behaves perfectly normal.
Is there a setting somewhere to keep the iMac G5 system from listening to other devices on the network somewhere?
There is no bi-directional setting in the Print-Server. So, that shouldn't be the issue (plus the Mac Mini doesn't care).
The Print Server is a U.S. Robotics USR7500 Ethernet Print Server.
The website for my Print Server is at:
http://www.usr.com/products/networking/networking-product.asp?sku=USR7500
Hopefully there is a setting somewhere that I can adjust in OS X Tiger to fix this.
The Wake on LAN setting is not turned on. So that's not it.
I also just checked, and the scheduled sleep will work. So, it is just the "inactivity" setting that is giving me trouble.
Like I said though, if I unplug the Ethernet Print-Server, then everything works exactly as it should.
I'll look forward to any ideas you might be able to offer.

Update:
Hello All,
I found out what was causing the machine to not sleep.
My built-in Firewall was configured to block UDP communications.
I discovered, quite by chance, that the Print Server was sending a UDP signal to my Mac every 30 seconds or so. I have no idea why, especially since the Print Server should be a receiver not a sender.
As an experiment, I disabled UDP blocking in the FireWall, and my machine went to sleep just like it should.
Any ideas as to why the Print Server would be sending a UDP signal?
Here's an excerpt from my firewall log:
===== Display starts at offset 196869 within file of length 327941. ====
===== Use File->Reload (Cmd-R) to display more. ====
.1.206:138 192.168.1.255:138 in via en0

and it keeps going like that for 12 hours or so.
The print server is setup to allow for TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk communication.
I'd like to hear any ideas as to how to get rid of this UDP so I can re-enable the blocking feature in the Firewall.
I do need to keep features enabled that are required to allow my wife's portable PC with Windows XP to print to the server as well.
Thank you in advance.

NTFS server keeps dies every hour.

I have iFS up and running on an NT 4.0 machine. I am using SMB for users to access their information.
(1) I would like to know why the NTFS server keeps dying after every hour or so.
(2) How I can avoid this from happening again.
Thanks.

You need to make sure first that if you have enough memory. See our installation guide for memory requirements. If you have your Database on the same machine as iFS, you need at least 512 MB of memory.
If the problem still exists, we need more information to diagnose what is wrong. Can you provide your NTFS log file?

Can Lion server keep my photos in sync between two macs?

can Lion server keep my photos in sync between two macs? Where should I keep them, we have Aperture 3 and my wife still likes iphoto '11. I've already tried plenty of 3rd party solutions with little success. I simply want my MBP to "mirror" the imac with the exception of iMovie footage. Is this what the server app can do? I am bad enough with computers, but even thinking about a server gives me migraines!

Fresh Install, Fully Updated Leopard Server Keeps rebooting on its own

Just upgraded to Leopard Server from Tiger.
Fresh, new install, fully updated.
Only software installed is Retrospect 6 and Drobo client.
My Server keeps rebooting by itself after 5-10 after logging in.
Won't reboot on it's own if I don't log in. The services are running in the background.
But once I log in as admin, after 5-10 mins, it will reboot on it's own.
Any ideas are where I should start looking on how to resolve this?

You're going to get to try to isolate this.
Any details from the crash report? (Applications -> Utilities -> Console.) Basically you're going to have to dig around in the crashes, and (if there's nothing obvious there) then, well, "try different configurations and different stuff".
This could be bad memory or a bad sector somewhere on the disk, for instance. Or a bad processor. Or a corrupt file. Or a bug in whichever Leopard Server baselevel is involved here.
Some steps and some options...
Disconnect all external hardware.
Run the hardware diagnostics for whichever box is involved here.
See if the box crashes if you log in as some other user.
See if the box crashes with no external hardware, or with no network connected.
If the box isn't under warranty (and any user crashes the box) (and if you're familiar with and comfortable with working inside static-senstive electronics gear), crack it open and reseat everything.
If the system is available to restore or you can blank and install, reinstall everything and leave both Retrospect and Drobo, and see if it crashes. Then add one or the other and see if that crashes stuff, rinse, lather and repeat.
Or you can call up Apple and ask for help.

Software Update server keeps downloading updates when set not to

When I first setup our server (10.5.x) for software update, I looked over the option to to uncheck the box for automatically downloading updates from Apple. Since then, it has downloaded pretty much everything. I've unchecked that option and also selected it to delete old updates. It keeps downloading updates and won't delete older updates. We've since upgraded to 10.6.2. Same thing. I've even manually deleted ALL of the updates only to watch them all come back. Any clues?

Welcome to the wonderful world that is the Software Update Service
I have the same problem and have yet to find a sensible answer to this problem. I have three Macs at home and only need a small proportion of the updates that Apple supply yet no matter what I do, I can't seem to stop SUS downloading everything even though I don't want it and have told it not to download.
Best of luck getting any sense out of Apple on this. I'm going to try a home made solution to get round this problem.
