School server set up need major help pleaseeeeee help by monday

Hey,
Ok school currently has a room of 15 emacs and one G5 today I tried installing os x server I am a novice pretty much and have no server experience,
followed this tutorial
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=977178&tstart=15
yet had problems with setting up the client to connect
got to this part launch Directory Access (Applications/Utilities), click on the lock and authenticate, select LDAPv3, click Configure, deselect ‘Add DCHP-supplied LDAP servers to automatic search policies’, click New and key in either the IP address 172.16.1.254 or better still its FQDN. Server discovery will be fairly quick, you will see iMac01.local in the first field and you will be prompted for a network user name and password, don’t bother with this just click OK and then continue, you will then see the Server Configuration in the Services window, click OK. Click on Authentication and verify that Custom Path is displayed, you should see /LDAPv3/172.16.1.254 or the server FQDN as the second Directory Domain displayed
and it didnt discover the server is it because im using clients of 10.3.9 on a server with 10.4.8 ?
another problem was when setting up the server the user group kept flashing up saying it was netinfo service wasnt running , surely that should be running and how do i get it working?
also setting up the dns server was a issue yet i belive it to be working now,there was somthing also about network tree domain or somthing like that?
please help all i want is to create user accounts for 30 students and let them log on at any machine please help
thanks

hey,
right guys it didnt work again today ive spent to constant days trying this and im just pulling my hair out, i really dont have a clue why it isnt working below is all the information I can think of giving
the macs are on a windows network which already has a dchp server and a dns servers which give the ip addresses to the macs which are dynamic. I changed them to static and set up the macserver as its own dns. here are the ethernet config below:
configured ipv4 manually
ip:10.20.128.71
subnet mask 255.255.252.0
router 10.20.131.254
dns servers 62.171.198.104 ( I Have tried putting the macserver ip here yet internet dosent work server ip is is 10.20.128.71
the search domain i wasnt sure on so i put as maidenerlegh.sch.uk the server is macserver.maidenerlegh.sch.uk
I added all the macs to the server via there ethernet id
on the open directory setttings it lookes like this:
lookupserver:running
netinfoserver: running locally only
LPAD: running
password: running
kerebos is stopped
the emac client which is mac01 can connect to the server via going finder go connect to server and then can log on to the user accounts i created on the server yet when i went through how to set it up on the client in directory access it wouldnt discover the network like everyone else says it should it just didnt do anything ?
please help this is a major problem that i thought i could solve i dont know what im doing wrong?
does anyone have any ideas
so i set up the server as a dns all the macs have static ips
I just cant get them to log on the server is 10.4.9 the client is 10.3.9

  • Do I need to do anything different with the client or is it a server setting that needs modification

    I have a Flex based application which is using Flash Media Server (FMS) server (version 4.0) for live video streaming between two users (i.e. a one to one teleconferencing service). This streaming is one-to-one, as defined by business rules, so that no third person can join a teleconference. Either person can start the video stream via a browser-based Flex client and communication gets established once the second user joins. Validation for connecting the streams of the two users is implemented on the FMS server (as server side scripting defined in main.asc). I am facing three critical problems with our teleconferencing solution.
    1.Often times, full communication can not be established between the two users. One user can not usually see or hear the other user. There is a client side 'refresh' button that when clicked, attempts to establish a connection via the server side script. This sometimes works. Before implementing our current server side script, I tried establishing a stream by using methods found here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/905613
    I think the method below may work as it would give me an array of subscribers to the stream.
    getLiveStreamStats(appInst:String, stream:String) : Object
    But the problem is that server returns the following:
    <result>
    <level>error</level>
    <code>Admin.API.MethodNotAllowed</code>

    Try a Hard Reset. Hold ON/OFF Button and Home Button at the same time until it reboots and Apple Logo appears, let go of buttons.

  • Needed:  Person who can help me set up mail service

    Hi...I've been reading the forum for days and have been finding information in small bits and pieces...but I need someone who can help me put it all together. Basically, we are trying to move our mail server in-house. We have a better than T1 connection, I just need SOMEONE who can tell me exactly what we need to do to set up mail service on osx server 10.4.8 to work for us. Any takers?
    I have enough knowledge to set up our web and file sharing services (very easy, no brainer stuff), but really I'm lost on the Mail Service setup.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    I hope this thread is not resolved. Even if it is, this is my solution.
    0.1. You must have a domain name pointing to your public IP
    0.2. Your router (if you have one) must forward smtp, pop, and imap ports to the private IP adress of the sever
    Server Admin
    1. You must have DNS enable with your domain name configured. I presume that you know to.
    2. Setup your mail service
    in General
    2.1. Activate POP
    2.2. Acivate Imap (if you need)
    2.3. Activate SMTP
    2.4. Accept incoming mail
    2.5. Retain outgoing mail
    in filter
    2.6. Set up as you need
    in advanced->security
    2.7. Set up aurhentifaction for smtp and pop.(important for smtp because you can be a spam relay)
    in advanced->Hosting
    2.8. add your domain name in localhost window
    Users admin
    3. Go to your users account (mail tab)
    3.1 Activate mail
    3.2 Choose receipt method.
    I've followed this procedure 5 or 6 times and it's working fine every time.
    Be carefull. In 10.4.8, something change in Imap service and the send of messages dont work. There is a little corrective to apply (a line to change in a config file but I do not remember what)
    Sorry if the words are not exactly the same on you screen. I'm working on a french vs and my english is not very good.
    Good luck

  • Problems with the address book server! Really need some help here!

    Hello everyone!
    for about some time now, we're having some troubbles with the address book server located on our Mac Pro Server running SL Server. The connected clients somehow show multiple entries of groups, contacts and everything else address book can show. Sometimes you see one group or contact about 20-30 times or even more.
    How can the addressbook server on SL Server be configured that these faults won't show up again. With this present, using address book server is useless. As far as my knowledge goes, I've tried everything I can. I deleted the address book account set up on each client, readded it, but no help. I stopped the address book server on the Mac pro, but no help either.
    For your further information: we're connecting 14 clients. Moste of the rum Lion, three run ML and several iDevices connect via WiFi.
    Please help me, as this really is frustrating!
    Looking forward for your help.
    Regards,
    Moritz

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 - need help in interpreting output of statistics time on

    Hi,
    Could you please help me to understand how to interpres CPU and Elapsed time
    I ran a query that took  1h 23 min 52 sec to complete.
    My statistics time result hows the following:
    CPU time = 17407152 ms, elapsed time = 5018172 ms.
    Both well exceed 1h 23 min 52 sec if I consider ms to be milliseconds.
    Could you please help me to understand why such mismatch?
    Does ms actually mean milliseconds?
    Thanks,
    Andrei
    SSIS question

    Mostly the query is going for parallelism (running on multiple CPU) and that's why CPU time is more.
    5018172 ms
    5018.172 sec 
    83.6362 min
    1.393936667 hours
    1 hr 23 min (matching with wall clock)

  • Need MAJOR HELP recovering an 845E-Max board (no post)

    Hey guys and gals, I need some SERIOUS SERIOUS help here recovering my old board. I have an MSI 845E-MAX board, and decided to do some overclocking to it. While doing it, I raised the FSB too much, and now the system wont post. So I know what your all thinking, ok, take out your CMOS battery, or clear the JBAT1 jumpers. While ive done that, repeatedly, to no avail. Ive cleared the jumpers over and over, nothing. Taken the battery out for a 24hr period, nothing. Took the battery out for nearly a MONTH!, and nothing. Next your probally thinking, while maybe its bad RAM, Vid Card, CPU, etc. While it isnt lol Ive replaced/tested all the current hardware in other systems and they all work fine. Ive got a defenet mobo problem, and its really pissing me off lol on other boards by other manufacturers, if I put my FSB to high and it didnt post, restarting would put it into default specs, so I could adjust my fsb as needed. With this 845E though, its no such luck, and reseting the CMOS dosent do anything to fix it. Ive also read some posts about other boards who dont even have a JBAT1 jumper, and used an "insert" key method, where they power down, hold down the insert key, and boot up. Decided to try this, and it did nothing. I didnt think it was made for my board in the first place, but decided to give it a shot. IVe also tried reflashing/recovering the bios, by downloading the newest bios (its an AMI i believe) renaming it, putting it to a floppy, and booting the system holding CTRL+HOME to force the update. but it does nothing, and dosent even seem to read the floppy as the little green light dosent come on when i power up. The DVD/CD drive does though, and wehn i place WIN XP SP2 in the drive, it reads it and green light stays solid, so its just the floppy drive im having probs with I guess. Also, i get no beeps at startup, but can hear the hard drive boot and spin. I list my hardware specs below to help
    So PLEASE, some MSI guru, help me before I go crazy here! :P thanx a million to any one who can lend a hand.
    MSI 845E-MAX
    2 x 256 Azen RAM PC2100
    Benq DVD Burner
    Intel Pentium 1.5ghz P4
    Nvidia Geforce 64mb
    *this is a spare system im building, but the board WAS my primary board till I upgraded, so im use to its settings, just no OC'ing it apparently lol*

    I do indeed...and yah i get no beeps at all....
    but everything powers up fine...hdd spins...cd rom turns on, if i put in a Nic card, the green light comes when a cat5 cable is in it. So it looks like everything is receing power fine, but i just get no beeps at all to signify start up

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • OS X Server - Setting Up Laptops properly to synchronize when connecting back to the network, OS X Server - Setting Up Laptops properly to synchronize when connecting back to the network

    I have a Mac Mini server (twin 500 gb HD) which I have had for about 2 years.  Mainly I have just played around with it, but never set up the server functionality to it's full extent.  I just clean installed OSx Mountan Lion (10.8) on the machine.  The two HD's are separate and not in a RAID configuration.
    With the release of 10.8 OSx, the server functions are now in an App you have to purchase and download.  No issue for me, but I would like some assistance and guidance from the community on how to properly set up the server for my needs (or if staying with the basic OS is fine).
    I have a couple of MacBooks, an iPad and two iPhones in the family, plus a remote Mac in another city.  The OSx devices will be upgraded to 10.8 soon, the iOS's are up-to-date with the latest os.  I also have a new Time Capsule running our network, but haven't started using it as a TM backup location (current backups are on local attached drives}
    I plan to use the Mac Mini with dual HD's primarily as the location where our media resides, regardless of whether it becomes a server or stays in the base OSx.   However, reading over some of the capabilities of the server ( 1 ), I'm hopefull I might be able to do more with the machine. 
    I'd like to be able to have a centralized user account managment via the Open Directory that the OSx Server provides.  Would also like to be able to set the other "client" computers / devices to allow for synchronization back to the server when they reconnect to the network after being mobile.   Also, it would be nice to set up the configuration of each of the users such that their preferences, iTunes media file locations, etc are consistent across all machines. 
    There may be some limitations to what I am attempting, that I am unaware of.  However, if at minimum I could accomplish the account managment easily, that would be a win.
    Assume I know little or nothing about domains and authentication -- not exactly true, but I don't want to assume anything with my limited knowledge.  I don't mind reading detailed step-by-step manuals if they are available, but I would appreciate some guidance and wisdom to get me started.
    Thanks for any help y'all can provide.

    OS X Server is an interesting beast, I am at work an IT Director in a Microsoft only environment, and am reasonably familiar with Linux/Unix having used it personally for many years.
    OS X Server is, as you will likely know, a combination of various open source packages (BIND, Postfix, Dovecot, Open Directory etc.) with an Apple 'wrapper'.
    I have recently got into similar situation as you, Apple gear at home (not one MS or Google product) and my old Linux server machine running Gentoo was long overdue for retirement. Let's get a Mac OS X server I said — it's based on *nix with the Mac front-end, what could be better??
    [rant]
    My experience after installing and configuring the whole thing — Mac mini + ML OS X Server ? Personally I think that Apple has gone backwards with Lion/Mountain Lion server. Trying to make a server platform act like an end-user product is a mistake. Servers are not end user machines — by their very nature they are sophisticated and may require complex configuring. Making some lollipop front-end that is claimed to be 'simple' simply by virtue of removing (necessary) configuration options ends up fooling no-one, and frustrating pretty well everyone.
    Tim Cook, if you're listening, the guys who made the changes to OS X server are on a par with the guys who made maps — sack 'em and please fix/improve OS X Server.
    [/rant]
    Phew that feels better. Having said all the above I will be sticking with ML Server — and keeping my fingers crossed.
    OK my suggestions to you are:
    First get some decent documentation I'm recommending the 'Apple Pro Training Series: OS X Server Essentials: Using and Supporting OS X Server on Mountain Lion' to people. You can get a Kindle edition on Amazon (I don't work for Amazon or the publisher).
    Make a dedicated new Apple ID for Apple Push Notifications, don't use your personal Apple ID. I made one like '[email protected]' where 'example.com' is my domain name. Get this ready before server install and make sure you can receive incoming emails to that email address.
    Make sure DNS is setup properly before installing OS X server. I have domain name and use the OS X DNS server to serve DNS in the LAN using that DNS domain. When client machines are on the Internet the DNS records point to the same server.
    Make sure the server name & host name are correct & match the public DNS records. Don't have the host name registered in external servers until you get the (internal) OS X DNS server running OK.
    After installing OS X server turn on DNS only first and configure it (read the book and remove the original domain based on the server name) and check that it is (basically) running OK and serving DNS (in the LAN) for your domain by checking Network Utility and finally also this command in Terminal.
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    do not proceed any further unless this command returns success — don't.....
    Ideally purchase and use a real (not self-signed) certificate. I just got a simple (not wildcard) certificate. Make sure that is installed and working on the server. One good test is to get the certificate installed, assign it to the web server, open the OS X web server to the Internet and then go to
    http://sslchecker.com/sslchecker
    and put in the URL of your server, for example if you had machine called 'server' and your domain was 'example.com' with SSL certificate of 'server.example.com' this site should give you green checkmarks for all parts of the certificate chain.
    Only after the certificate is working OK proceed with turning on other services like Open Directory.
    If you start turning on a few services you will quickly need RAM, my Mac mini is running an i5 and is OK with CPU but the stock 4 GB of RAM is not enough. Swap memory is already going up to 2 GB, I will likely increase the RAM to 16 GB. 8 GB could be enough but don't want to buy to that level and find out after (as there are only two memory slots in Mac mini) that it is not enough.
    Read the book first... be prepared to reinstall the whole machine from scratch at least once. If something goes wrong at the beginning and one of the fundamental things gets messed up — don't bother trying to rectify it, and don't think that just re-installing Server will be OK. Wipe the whole machine including the base OS and restart from scratch.
    Setup OS X Server DHCP for the LAN and point DNS (for LAN clients) to the server DNS server.
    Bring up new services one by one and check they are functioning — use logs to check what is happening even if things look to be going OK.
    I found for email addresses and Open Directory accounts that the short name of the OD account had to be the same as that to the left of the @ sign of the email address. So if someone's email address is [email protected] then their OD account short name had to be 'fred'. Otherwise Dovecot (IMAP) will not deliver email. I am sure there is somewhere to fiddle with this so the OD account short name can be different but I didn't bother digging around at the time.
    Good luck!

  • Upgrade to Firefox now defaults to a proxy server setting - how do I stop this???

    I use Windows XP and Earthlink is my internet provider. About a week ago I downloaded the upgrade to Firefox. Since that time, everytime I connect to the internet I get the error that Firefox is trying to connect thru a proxy server - I do NOT work thru a proxy server. I have to go into internet options in my control panel, go to connections and remove the proxy server checks in both the dial-up settings and the LAN settings. THIS DID NOT NEED TO BE DONE PRIOR TO THE UPGRADE!! I tried to go back in my computer settings to a date prior to the upgrade, but that did not change anything. HELP!! What can I do to stop Firefox from defaulting to a proxy server setting???? Earthlink tells me that this is not an Earthlink problem, that it is being caused by the Firefox explorer.

    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection<br />
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
    See "Firefox connection settings":

  • Server setting preventing .jar from being read/executed?

    Hey guys,
    I'm not completely sure this is the correct place to be posting my question, but I have been unable to find a better place for it, so hopefully someone here might be able to help me out.
    Ok.
    I have a signed .jar applet, that runs locally and when hosted on a server on the LAN. It also works when the .jar is hosted on my webspace given by my ISP.
    However, I have a website hosted where, for some reason, the applet fails. Furthermore, it only fails when it is packaged in a .jar archive. When only using .class files it works fine, however because I need to use .jar files in order to sign them this is no longer sufficient. The exception given by the java console is :
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: UserInterface.class
         at sun.plugin2.applet.Applet2ClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)
         at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
         at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
         at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2ClassLoader.loadCode(Unknown Source)

         at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
         ... 7 more
    Exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: UserInterface.class
    When I set the trace level in the java console to 5, the first exception that appears is :
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://www.nickmoores.com/applet/sudoku/sudoku.jar
         at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source)
         at sun.plugin.PluginURLJarFileCallBack.downloadJAR(Unknown Source) .... etc etc etc
    To me, this indicates that it can't find the .jar. However all the web browsers I have tried manage to find the file at the URL given by the exception (ie http://www.nickmoores.com/applet/sudoku/sudoku.jar), so it is not a simple case of having misplaced the jar or giving the wrong path.
    I made a simple .html page with the following html code :

    </HTML>I placed this page at my ISP webspace, my local LAN server, and the hosted site where it doesn't work, and put the .jar in the appropriate location on each server.
    As expected, it works everywhere EXCEPT the hosted website. This convinced me that there is a problem on the hosted website that is somehow preventing the .jar archive from being read from object/embed html tags. This seems strange as it manages to read and load .class files fine.
    I have communicated several times with the people who are hosting my site, and they haven't been too helpful so far. I've had several replies along the lines of "Can you try it now? I think it should be working" and "Have you tried testing it on a local site?", so i'm not sure they really know what the issue is.
    So does anyone know what setting on the server would be preventing the .jar from being loaded?
    If anyone wants to see the problem for themselves, the problem occurs at http://www.nickmoores.com/blanktest.html , but it works at http://www.nickmoores.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk . As you will see from the page source, the code is exactly the same, so it must be a server setting causing the problem, right?
    Thanks guys!

    Try this:

    type="application/x-java-applet"

  • DP content source location not written to database - Invalid path \\server\share format needed - 80070002

    Hi All, i just wanted to ask if anyone else had experienced this issue yet?
    We have ~200 Pull DP's and for some time have been having issues with OSD Task Sequences randomly failing with the error 80070002.
    More specifically:
    Invalid path. \\server\share format needed
    Failed to find an available source location
    Our Task sequence is configured to access content directly from the DP.  We checked the PackageShare$ and validation state and both were fine.  Next we inspected WMI (root\sccmdp:SMS_PackagesInContLib) and this was fine as well.  Until today,
    we had been redistributing the failing package to remediate, but this is very time consuming with some of the large WIMs and Driver Packages, especially over some very slow WAN links.
    Today I decided to explore this a little further by examining the Database..This led me to the table ContentDPMap and the two columns in particular 'URL' and 'URLSubPath'.
    I noticed that the packages we were having issues with had a URL of the ServerName in UNC format, and a URLSubPath of just '\'.  Other packages had a fully qualified UNC path to the package for URL and a full sub path for URLSubPath.
    When we queried the DB further, we revealed 1190 packages to be in this state (for packages supposed to be in the share) out of a total of 42,000 records.
    The query we used for this was:
    select ContentID,ServerName,AccessType,URL,URLSubPath,URLProtocol,vpkg.Name from ContentDPMap as cdpm
    join v_Package as vpkg on vpkg.PackageID = cdpm.ContentID
    where cdpm.AccessType = 2 --UNCProtocol
    and cdpm.URLSubPath not like '%SMS%' --Packages with issues only have a '\'
    and vpkg.PkgFlags = (vpkg.PkgFlags | 0x80) --Limit to only show packages with the 'Copy To Package Share' flag set
    Also of note, when a package is marked with a State = 2 the values for URL/URLSubPath are NULL. (State =2 is In Progress).
    So my question:
    Firstly, has anyone else encountered this?
    Secondly - how should I fix it - we tested in our DEV and found that updating the entries remediates the issue with Clients not being able to locate content, but realise this is is an unsupported method.
    I will also log this on Connect as it appears to me to be a Bug.
    Cheers,
    David

    Hi,
    So redistributing the failed package could resolve this issue?
    How about using prestaged content to distribute these large contents?

  • Need to develop a help system

    I need to develop a help system for a Client-Server Oracle Form Application.
    Can any one suggest any good packages to develop Help system?
    Does any one tried Oracle Help for Java (OHJ)?
    Please let me know your recommendations and opinions, thanks.
    null

    Two methods.
    One generate a HTML file and use the Web.Show_Document to display the help file.
    Two use shareware like 'Help Workshop' which can be found at www.cnet.com.
    Good Luck
