Server admin not showing network traffic graph

This topic was posted a while ago with no solution, and it has been [archived|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6953359]. I have just experienced the same problem with Leopard Server Admin (SA). It seems to be a problem on the server, not in the client admin, since it occurs both when I use SA on the server itself and a client, and deleting client prefs. has not helped. I'm presuming that there is a corrupted database or prefs. file for this graph.
All the other SA graphs show just fine. Fixing permissions has not helped, either.
Anyone have any idea where to look on the server? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I have since I have a few Mac Mini's on the network with their home directory residing on the server and my Windows users are sharing a few daily use files on the server including a MYOB data file, also our intranet web site is hosting on the same server, not to mention I have 3 print queues there and all the outgoing mails from both of our all-in-one scan to email machines are using the same server. All of these services and users are using their computer as if nothing is wrong, so I have to assume that there is network traffic unless server admin interprets the term "network traffic" differently.

Server Admin not showing jobs in print queue

Hi All,
I'm not sure if others are having this problem or if it's just me. I am running Mac Server OS X 10.6.7 When I go to Server Admin and select "Print" and then "Job Status", I get a list of all the server's print queues. In the pane below the list of queues, there is a section that says "Jobs on Queue:" which then allows me to select any specific print queue. The problem is, no matter what queue I select, I am never able to see any of the print jobs going through the queue. I have sent multiple jobs to different printers on the server, all while watching the "Jobs on Queue" window for the appropriate printer. In every test, I have never seen ANY print job show up in that window, even though all the print jobs print out fine. I have even tried pausing a printer to let jobs queue up, and still nothing shows up in that window.
I have also tried the same tests while viewing the prints queues from the "Print & Fax" System Preferences pannel directly on the server. Still no luck. Everything prints out fine, but I am unable to ever see any print job hitting the queue.
The reason I even noticed this problem is because a user accidentally printed a 500 page document by mistake. The user called me to stop the job, but I was unable to see anything in the queue to kill. I tried deleting the job directly from the printer, but this just caused the printer to lock up. I would try powering off the printer and restarting it, but as soon as it powered back on, the print job would restart. I even tried restarting the server, but as soon as the server came back online, the print job started again. Finally, after hunting on the web, I tried logging into CUPS via http://localhost:631 and was able to see the print job listed there and finally delete it.
Is there any way to monitor print jobs on the server in real time? I found this previous archived thread describing what appears to the same problems using Mac Server OS X10.5.8, but there was never any solution listed before the thread was archived.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2152737

Is there anyone using printing services on a Mac server at all that could comment on whether or not you see the print jobs listed in the queue when printing?

Server: Mail configuration of Server Admin not showing ANY Accounts

I have an LDAP directory for my accounts and in the Server Admin GUI, under the Mail configuration, I am not showing any accounts. Currently mail services not working and I have tried to reconstruct the db to no avail.
I the POP log im gettting ...
Aug 10 14:03:29 mail pop3[24233]: DBERROR: critical database situation
In the Mail Access log ...
Aug 10 14:04:56 mail lmtpunix[29548]: DBERROR: critical database situation

How about more info?
Did you ever have a working setup? Accounts?
How did you try to reconstruct?
Check /var/log/mailaccess.log and post some more info for a process number (number in square brackets)

Server Admin not showing IMAP connections and false Mailman status

Although several users are connected to the cyrus IMAP server (IMAPS/TLS) Server Admin reports zero connections. Also Server Admin reposts that Mailinglists are stopped but Mailman is running fine.
Any suggestions? I'm running Mac OS X Server 10.5.5 (9F33) and the same version of the Admin Tools.
Best regards,
Stefan

For mail status, do a comparison via the Terminal:
sudo serveradmin fullstatus mail
But I have also seen this issue with 10.4 server (IMAP connections not reliably reported).
If you watch the system.log , you can see incoming connections (authentications) happen.
Another way to check for active IMAP connections is via:
netstat -anp tcp | grep 143
(or, use 993 for IMAP w/SSL )
The best way to administer mailman is via its web interface, which you can access on your server via
http://mail.yourserver.com/mailman/admin
where of course "mail.yourserver.com" is its FQDN without actual quotation marks.

Server Admin not showing all accounts under "maintenence"

Using server admin on OS X (10.4.11) on an xServe, I cannot see all of the accounts listed.
Going to Mail -> Maintenance -> Accounts, it only lists out the first 20 accounts. I have no idea how to see the rest of the accounts.
Any way to increase the number of accounts listed so I can view all of the accounts? I cant see free space or repair any accounts after the letter "B"
Thanks

Server Admin not displaying groups correctly

Server 10.5.8, Mac Pro 4 core 2.66, 56 GB RAM.
Had a crash yesterday, all back to normal now except:
Server Admin's "show users and groups" is not displaying groups correctly" "users" is missng, and any new groups I created in WM are missing. Even if I sort by GID, they don't show up. And yet, if I type "staff" in the search bar, it shows up with GID 20. Also shared folders are showing up as groups

Surely someone can at least point me in the right direction? I tried rebuilding the LDAP database, but that didn't fix it.

Fax and scan not showing network contacts

Was bumped from the office Q/A forum
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-outlook/fax-and-scan-not-showing-network-contacts/4bf79dbd-a2cc-4a96-a8cd-bbdb01746a5c
Just going to jump right to it, let me get the picture painted
windows 7 x32 office 2010 (also tested on office 2013
shared contact book from a networked pc
I open the fax and scan click to and/or contact buttons the shared contacts show up just fine
setup and activate an email account Imap/POP
repeat the process and only the outlook contacts show up
remove the email profile and the contact are back
all pc are domained
i have 5 other pc that don't have this issues
4 win7 x64 offices 2013
1 win7 x32 office 2013 (hosting the address contacts)
From what I can find most are having the opposite outcome that the outlook contacts are not showing up.

Hi Sean,
As per the description, I understand that a shared contact book cannot show in Windows Fax and Scan. There is not so much we can do on Office side, I'd suggest you check on Windows client side.
This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. I would suggest you to post in the forum of
Windows 7 as Windows Fax and Scan is a Windows feature:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?category=w7itpro
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Problem in Server Admin: cpu and network graphs not updated or empty after lion server update

Hi!
Just for archive purpouses because i've already solved that!
After upgrading from OSX Server 10.7 to 10.7.1 my CPU and Network graphs in Server Admin stop being updated.
In 24h the graphs where blank (disk usage graph seem to keep working).
First i read about "what is the application responsible for this"; it's called ServerPerfLog, and you can see if it's running that way:
     # ps ax | grep ServerPerf
If you don't see anything else than your own "grep", that means that no application is running, no data is being collected.
     41324 s000 R+     0:00.00 grep ServerPerf
A positive response for this (meaning that the service is running) should be something like that (2 lines: your grep and the service app itself):
     94   ?? Ss     0:04.71 /usr/libexec/ServerPerfLog
     41344 s000 R+     0:00.00 grep ServerPerf
Later i read about "where is the config file for this service app", and you can find it here:
     /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
If you edit this config file, check that the "Key > Disabled" is set to "False"
     # vi /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
        <key>Disabled</key>
        <false/>
After that, i try to launch the service that updates this graphs again, by hand, performing the following command:
     # sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
And the service got launch!!! yeeeepa!! i see a first update in graph data.
Also the "ps" query reply that the service was running!!
The bad things came a day after, when i saw that the graphs stop again....
I check if the service was running executing again the "ps" command, and that show me that the service was stopped again; no ServerPerfLog process was running.
But r e l a x, because the process hang because of a permissions problem.
You should know, I run "Repair permissions" within "Disk Utilities" over the running system disk, eeee... voila!
I hope that helps someone to get his fancy graphs back!
Regards,
t

You are God like!!! Wooo hooo! Thanks bud!

Remote Server Admin not working from outside of network for 1 server

Our company recently changed ISPs and I had to change our two 10.4 server's IP addresses. We have a mail server (intel xserve) and a file/web server (quicksilver g4). Both servers have two network cards in them. The problem is two-fold:
1- I can successfully manage the Xserve machine locally on our network and from my home. However, I can only manage the Quicksilver g4 server locally. Any kind of external access is not even acknowledged.
2- I'm not sure if I missed any steps when changing IP addresses for these server-based computers. Also, I'm not sure if I correctly set our dns names to the correct IP address.
For some background, this is the exact IP update process I used for each server:
Quicksilver G4 (file/web server) - Installed network card #2 and configured it with the new Public IP in the "System Preferences/Network" panel. In Server Admin I set our website to use the new public IP address. (network card #2 has no firewall device in between it and the internet.)
Then, I configured the default network card #1 to a static, yet private IP address that's behind our DLink firewall device with the rest of our network.
Intel Xserve (e-mail server) - Network card #1 was the only one setup before our network change. It had a static, public IP address. When we changed ISPs, I configured network card #2 to the new static, public IP address supplied to us by the new ISP in the "System Preferences/Network" panel. This new IP address is where all email traffic currently gets pointed to. (All mail is successfully sent and delivered.) Until our former ISP gets shutdown, I still have network card #1 configured to the older static public IP address. After the old ISP is shut off, I plan on changing network card #1 to a static, private address.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

What should I check in AD? I am by no means an expert with AD.
Yes, I am using the same client OS.
I am talking about RDP over the internet, like from home to the office. We have a static IP assigned to the router from ISP. A static internal IP assigned to the server on the LAN. And the router port forwards 3389 to the assigned IP.
It was working fine before we reinstalled Server 2012. These are the steps I took when reinstalling:
1. format drive and install OS
2. rename the server
3. install SQL server
4. Install TFS and SharePoint
5. Add Active Directory role and promote to Domain Controller
6. Add domain users
7. Enable remote access on the server and add users to remote access list

Server Admin not drawing graphs

I have a fresh install of Leopard that will not display the graphs in Server Admin on the server. I can see the graphs if viewing from my laptop or other machine, but not from the server itself. It gets a few errors like ...
... [0x0-0x1b01b].com.apple.ServerAdmin[1734]: * ERROR: -[GRAxes computeLayout]:1124 - plotRect height = 0.000000 <= 0.0 *
... [0x0-0x1b01b].com.apple.ServerAdmin[1734]: * ERROR: -[GRChartView computeLayout]:1194 - Layout for overlay axes (0x6826d30) failed. *
The hardware is a Xserve, 2 x 2.0GHz PPC G5 with 2.0 GB RAM.
Any help is appreciated as this is an annoying feature.

Hi
I see the same "error" messages in every leopard server install I've done - and I've done a fair few - regardless of what hardware was used. Graphs draw fine for me.

Share point in server admin not working correctly... I think

I suspect that the share point in server admin is not working correctly. In workgroup manager when I click on a user and then click on the "home" tab, under the full path field I see a file path of:
afp://server.mydomain.com/Users
However if I go to Server Admin -> AFP -> Share Points then click on the Users share and then click on the share point tab below, enable auto mount is disabled. How can this be possible? I thought for a directory to show up in home in workgroup manager it had to be set as an auto mount. Has something possibly corrupted? And what?

Here's a bit more information about our setup and our experiences with Apple's CUPS implementation:
On the server, all printer queues are set up with only lpr and ipp sharing enabled with the PPD setting for each printer set to Generic Postscript. We found that setting the PPD to the printer specific one on the server caused problems when clients tried to use printer specific options, like paper tray selection, etc.. The selection would be undone, apparently because the driver on the server would override the previous settings. Using Generic Postscript allows the client PPD settings to go through unmodified. Our printers are general a mix of HP LaserJets and some Sharp Copiers.
All clients use lpd to the server queues with the printers' actual PPDs configured. Using ipp is superior in that printer feedback (jams, out of toner, etc) makes it back to the clients, but ipp only works when the client, the server, and the printer are on the same network. If the ipp client is not on the same network, the client spooler immediately goes into a paused state and the print job is stuck on the client.
Using lpd to the server queues works reliably, but there is no feedback to the client. Jobs disappear from the client queue and go to the server, appearing to the user as a successful print. If the printer is down, there's nothing they can see or do about it.
