Properly Define Network Routing Definition for Mac OS X Server

Hello,
I have am unable to get my Mac server (10.6.8) VPN to work from outside our firewall (which is a SonicWall TZ-210). All the necessary ports are opened on the firewall but the Mac server does not appear to be properly configured to route the VPN traffic back through the SonicWall. I suspect my Network Routing Definitions are wrong but I can not find any other threads that show how these should be defined in this scenario.
The current Network Routing Definitions are...
Network Address = my public IP
Network Mask = my public network mask
Network Type = Public
Network Address = 192.168.1.0
Network Mask = 255.255.255.0
Network Type = Private
I have followed this article for the most part.

I greatly appreciate the assistance!
Best Regards

Hi,
We lost our Verizon DSL Service for 10 days due to flooding caused by hurricane Sandy in NYC.
All our DNS, Web, and email run on our server and we were lost to the world for those 10 days!
We have now upgraded to higher speed Time Warner broadband service for our primary, but still want to retain the Verizon DSL for redundancy.
Our hope is that if we have any connectivity issues with one, the other will hopefully be functioning and carry us through.
Not answering what you are asking, but addressing the redundancy issue ...
If you have a disaster like Sandy, with damage over a wide area, how sure are you that one of your connections will work? If for example the cabling is going through a common duct somewhere, your redundancy could be only theoretical. I know an installation that wanted reliable, disaster-proof communications, and paid for three services - and was offline when a builder a couple of miles up the road put his digger (back hoe?) through the shared pipe. Unless you can get guaranteed separation of service, it is not worth the extra cost and effort. Consider instead moving your server to a data centre, where they will already have addressed the issue, and your total cost may be no greater.

Not able to define the Simulator definition for adapter service

Hi all,
I am trying to define a simulator definition for adapter service(which is a synchronous adapter service) but I am not able to define the same. As soon as I input Name, serice Name, Service version, Process Name, PIP, Type and Service Type and click on "Next" or "Save And Return" I am getting the error as--
"ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 3 with name "_SYSSMU3_2097677531$" too small ORA-06512: at line 1".
Can any one suggest me why I am getting this error. I already had defined the simulators before, and at that time I didn't faced this error, but now I am not able to define the same.
Pls help me to resolve this problem.

Its an issue with your database rather than with CAVS. Try increasing your rollback segment space.

Hostname for Mac OS X Server

Hi,
I have a Mac OS X server 10.5 Leopard and I've installed it on my mac mini.
After installing i tried to go to system settings but it prompted me for my hostname, user name and password. I wasnt sure what hostname to enter though i have my user name and password with me.
I'm setting it up for my friend's office and he doesnt have any domain name attached to it. I googled hostname for mac os x server but they said i need to have a fully qualified domain name.
Can i ignore this hostname problem? Cause its just a home business my friend is running and he just need his ical server up and thats it.
thanks all for reading.

To strengthen Camelot's comments here, most everything in a modern network is dependent on the host name and on the associated DNS. Proper DNS (or proper static definitions) are a prerequisite; if the host name and the DNS or the static hosts pieces aren't configured and operating correctly, then you'll be chasing all sorts of problems. The host and DNS pieces are the foundation of network security, and most everything on a network these days eventually involves network security, hence...

What's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?

What's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?
We have looked at a few different applications out there (Rumpus, CrushFTP, etc...) and are wondering what the community feels.
Apples built -in isn't robust enough. We do need some advanced features (reporting, SFTP, a web interface would be nice etc...).
Opinions?

Hi
For me it has to be RumpusFTP Server:
http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/
It has a secure web interface - no need to open ports 20, 21. No need for dedicated FTP client software for uploading and downloading. Supports the most commonly used browsers. Multi-platform support and can be installed on a standard client OS.

No mobileme install for Mac OS X Server 10.5.4?

Is there no mobileme update for Mac OS X Server 10.5.4??? It doesn't show up in Software Update. The control panel still says .mac.
Should I worry about downloading and installing the standalone update? I'm just worried about my sync data getting messed up since my two other Macs have the mobileme 1.1 update installed.

I got it to work by doing the following
open your system preferences then click on dot mac, on that dot mac window it will prompt you there is an update available so click on that update button , this then launched the software updater for me. and then the mobile me update was there.

HT5218 Safari 5.1.5 for Mac OS X Server v10.6 is no longer available for downloading, where I can find it?

afari 5.1.5 for Mac OS X Server v10.6 is no longer available for downloading, where I can find it?

FWIW, Software Update Server on OS X Server 10.6 did occasionally corrupt itself.
If I had a case of that arise, I'd get a full backup, would shut off Software Update Server, apply the current OS X Server 10.6.8 combo update and the current and subsequent patches, then reset the Software Update Server caches and force a new download of everything, and then restart the Software Update Server.
Alternatively — and given what I've encountering with 10.6.8-vintage hardware failures in the last few months — I'd probably look to migrate to newer hardware and newer software. Those disks are getting old, after all.
Software Update Server and Caching Server 2 on 10.9 have both been stable.
The Reposado open-source implementation of Software Update Server might provide you with an alternative approach, if Software Update Server is being recalcitrant and if you can't upgrade.

Free or cheap AoE network drive support for Mac? [(S)ATA over Ethernet)]

Hi.
I recently bought an AoE network drive (this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817113049 ).
Is there a way to set it up as a shared drive from a Mac, so that other Macs (and possibly PCs) and the LAN can access it simultaneously via its gigabit Ethernet port ?
I found an AoE driver for Mac ( http://store.shop2degreesfrost.com/aoedrcli-1.html ) only that it's about $200 !!!

I found out the IP address of the drive, through the router clients list, but what you suggest didn't work.
Neither the IP itself (x.x.x.x) nor smb://x.x.x.x worked.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

IOMeter or NAS Perf Tester (network performance benchmarks) for Mac?

When I was on a PC-only home network, there were many network monitoring/testing tools like IOMeter And Intel NAS Perf tester. But I've been unable to find a network testing tool for the Mac. I'm interested in testing file creation/read/write speeds to/from my NAS.
Does anyone know of something for the Mac?
Also, I'm not afraid of using terminal, so if there's any built-in UNIX tools, or ones that are open source and can be compiled on OS X 10.6, I'm ok with that too.
Thanks.

I found something called HELIOS Lan Test. It seems to do the kinds of create/read/write testing I can use to benchmark my ReadyNAS NV+ file share protocols (CIFS, AFP, NETBIOS) to see which one is faster in my setup.
I already have iStat Menus, and I can monitor performance with it in a rough sense (ie. watch the display when I'm copying a large file), but the HELIOS Lan Test is a much better repeaatble test for ongoing analysis.

Anti-Virus Solutions For Mac OS X Server 10.3/10.4 and clients

Hello. I am currently researching an anti-virus solution, for our network, consisting around 60% Mac's.
Does anyone know of any decent packages, that I could implement, I have looked at a few, and I'm not confident in using them, mainly from prior experience, with standalone units, let alone on a network.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated !!

Filevault for MAC OS X Server

I'm looking into getting a MAC OS X Server and using filevault. I would like to use samba, turn on filevault, and map to the network drive on the clients (windows xp workstations). Could people tell me if they think it is safe and reliable? Also any problems backing up the encrypted data and restoring it? From what I've read so far on filevault it sounds like the security is good, in Panther there were some problems with loosing settings, application libraries, address books, and corrupting user directories. I have read that Tiger is supposed to have fixed these problems. My main concern is backing up documents, spreadsheets, etc. I just want to be as sure as possible that I can backup the data (encrypted) and restore it. I would like to know if the MAC OS X Server totally dies I could take the backup data to another MAC computer and be able to unencrypt the data?
Thanks for any help. It would be much appreciated.

Photo Gallery Software for Mac OS X Server

I'm porting my Linux server infrastructure over to Mac OS X Server. I've successfully moved over my DNS, Mail and most of my web sites to Mac without a problem. However, the last website is causing me a bit of pain. In Linux I was using Gallery 2 (http://gallery.menalto.com/), but I'm not sure how to get this to work on Mac OS X. In particular there are a bunch of dependencies that I'm not sure exist in Mac (ffmpeg, etc.)
* Is there an alternative photo gallery software that people use which may install/work better on the Mac? We have wiki and blog services in the Web Server Admin pane, but I don't see a photo gallery service.
* Has anybody had success in using gallery2 over to the Mac? What dependencies were needed and how did you find them?
Thanks,
Scott

Outlook for Mac and Exchange Server 2010

I am a customer of Office 365 and I am using it on my Mac. Unfortunately Outlook for Mac (version 15.6 150113) is not able to connect to my Exchange account. Tried to reinstall it many times and also reinstalled from zero the Yosemite OS X, but no way. I
try to make the automatic connection and it doesn't work, so I manually insert the server address but unfortunately it doesn't happen anything and the bullet on the left signs a yellow color indicating that it is not connected. I use the same information that
I use in the native "Mail" application where it works perfectly. I tried also other applications like foxmail and airmail 2, and using the same server and id they all work perfectly. Also Lynch is working great. Can somebody help me to solve this
"outlook for Mac and Exchange" problem?
Thank you in advance

Hi Sylvain, Thank you for the attention. Hereafter the result of the test and sorry if it is in italian since my account is italian. I forgot to say that my exchange account is my Company's exchange server while office 365 is my personal account.

Exchange alternative for Mac Snow Leopard Server

I was wondering what are some good alternatives to Microsoft's Exchange service for use in the new Snow Leopard Server that will be coming out. I am aware that Snow Leopard Server offers open source for mail server, but I would like to go with an actual GUI interface with a third party software. Any suggestions would be great!

You will not be able to do any extensive management of Active Directory from with Mac OS X natively,
and considering the technology, it's best managed using the native Microsoft tools & technologies anyway. There are products that offer options for Mac management from/via AD - beyond what Apple provides and/or is possible by extending your schema, but that's _another matter entirely_.
"Closest thing" is really for you to decide, you will need to investigate the products and if they will meet your needs.
As I have stated, what we know will be available in & via Snow Leopard is what Apple has made known on its own preview pages.
If you needed to seriously know more you would have invested in a ADC Developer account and extensive testing but with the understanding you would be dealing with pre-release technology.
Past that, the two products that offer the most in terms of feature-set(s) are as I already noted:
Kerio
and
Zimbra.
Best of luck !

Issues connecting Outlook 2011 for Mac to Exchange Server 2013

I have a Mac with outlook 2011 on it.
We have recently set up Exchange Server 2013, and all of the Windows Workstation just required the trusted root certificate to be installed and they were working.
