Snow Leopard Server + Lion Client: AFP with Kerberos fails

Hi,
just upgraded my MBP to Lion.
APF File Shares wont any longer authenticate via Kerberos. (All other authentication methods are disabled on the server)
Does anyone have a tip how to get Kerberos authentication working with Lion against a 10.6 Server?
Can't find anything in the logs, neuther in the lcient not on the server.
I have a valid ticket an can authenticate to other Kerberized Services.
Thanks,
- Karl

Snow Leopard server, Lion clients

Good day I am running a 10.6.8 server (Mac Pro 2010) with 300 user account on it. At this time because out client computers needing compatibility with multiple applications upgrades we need to upgrade all out clients to 10.7.3. The decision has been made and I need to go with it. The server only runs user accounts, shared folders, Wiki and DNS. I am hesitant to upgrade the server to 10.7. I have attempted some quick searches for any issue with running 10.6.8 Server and 10.7 clients but it has not resulted in much.
What is the biggest issue I am going to be running into?
Will AFP still work with 10.7 clients?
Should I upgrade the server to 10.7 also?
What will I loose at this point upgrading everything?
Looking forward to what I can learn.

What is the biggest issue I am going to be running into?
What issues will you run into if you upgrade your clients to Lion, but leave your server on Snow Leopard? none. That's entirely valid.
Will AFP still work with 10.7 clients?
Yes
Should I upgrade the server to 10.7 also?
Not unless you specifically need some of the features in Mac OS X Lion Server, and absolutely not if you only have one server.
What will I loose at this point upgrading everything?
Probably several nights' sleep. Upgrading a server, and maintaining all the services without any downtime is a significant process. Snow Leopard Server doesn't stop running just because Lion is available, and it won't stop when Mountain Lion comes along, either.
If your mandate is to upgrade the clients, then do that, and take your time planning your server upgrade/migration.

The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file. Does Snow Leopard Server File Sharing (AFP) provide similar features?

Were you ever able to solve this problem. I'm having similar issues since upgrading to snow leopard. Four macs connect to a Windows Server 2003 for shared files. Each user has full permissions & when we "get info" it shows read & write permissions. Two of the computers were running 10.4, two were running 10.5. Everything worked properly until upgrading to snow leopard. Some files let me copy, move, delete. Others either just hang up or we get a "no permission" error. Also getting a "pdf is in use" error, even when the file/folder doesn't contain a pdf. We had our IT rep check the server who said everything is in working order. They don't represent macs any longer but feel that it's a mac problem. I would have to agree since this problem only started after the upgrade, and the one machine that was not upgraded (still running 10.5.8) is not dealing with these problems.
Lastly, I would install 10.5 back on all of the computers if I could, but the leopard disk that came with one of the computers wouldn't work with the 2 machines running 10.4 and I didn't see it available at the apple store. I'll buy it if it's still available, but why wouldn't the disks that I have work?
Thanks for any help

Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server - can't login with admin account

SO....i was having problems setting up network accounts from my mac Mini Server. I took it to the Apple Genius bar one night after work to get some help on why the login screen appears for Other..but could not login into any of the accounts I created.
They made an appt for me for the next morning since they had a "guy" that could help the next morning.
When I got there for my second appt..they said they don't support server issues. Only consumer products..I though the server WAS and i WAS a consumer of their products..so..they gave me a number of a consultant..of course..for pay...
So later that day I was trying some other configurations....the power came out while I was checking a monitor cable..and when I restarted I couldn't login to the master admin account.
Since mac mini server doesn't have a DVD drive..you have to boot up with their Server DVD from another computer and the Server installs it through airport.
So I did the boot up via airport from the server install DVD.
Did the Utility disk repair AND password changed. Got some error about not being to able to login if I don't change the keychains to the account.
Rebooted the server.
It didn't work.
So now stuck with a login window..and NO ACCESS to change anything.
HELP!!!!

You can access to system with root account.
If you didn't enable before, boot from SLS DVD and activate from menu (after choose language).
After that, reset all the passwords (there is a menu to do that).
After that exit from installer and reboot.
At login screen you can try to login with your user and new/blank password.
If it fails, you have to login with user root and the password you choose before.
With root user, you can access to all system, be very carefull.
Now you can create a new user and import all the files (you have to do a little work with permissions)
I hope i help you!

Installing Lion on Snow Leopard Server

I have mac mini server running snow leopard server. I want to install Mac OS X Lion on it.
I have purchased Lion through App Store, but while installing on mac server it asks for Lion Server.
I am not using any server features as of now, Can I downgrade snow leopard server to client and instal Lion on it?
or is there any better way of installing Lion on Snow Leopard Server...
Thanks,
K

No easy way unfortunately.
OS X Server gets its fingers into all parts of your computer. You'd have to go in an manually remove hundreds of files, and replace them with their counterparts from the non-server version.
It would be MUCH easier to back up your home folder and any additional files you need, then nuke and pave with Lion non-server. Restore your info, and you'll be back up and running.

Snow Leopard Server iCal push not working on iMac clients

Hello,
I have a new installed mac mini snow leopard server and updated osx with all the latest updates.
I am running the iCal server and the Push service and everything seems to run OK.
I have 4 brand new iMac clients which share calendars between the different users,but the iCal Push function doesn't work at all. Even when I change the update method in the iCal client to interval of 1 minute, it doensn't update.
The only way the calendar updates is to choose "Refresh" from the Calendar menu in iCal client.
The push function for the mail clients do work which is strange.
I already tried the following actions:
1. I have stopped and restarted the Push-service on the server
2. I have removed the push server settings in the iCal server settings on the server and added them again
3. I followed the iCal log file to see if an action of a client is immediatly visible on the server = OK
4. I've updated all the clients to the newest software
5. I have restarted the server completely
Does anybody have tips or advise to help me looking to find the cause of the iCal Push problems?

Snow Leopard Server - Managed Dock Settings

Hello Everyone,
In our environment, we are running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.7 with a mix of 10.5 and 10.6 clients. We are managing settings via Open Directory. We have a computer group policy configured to manage our dock policy settings among a few others. Within WGM, our dock policy settings are setup to be managed "once." When the policy was configured, our Mac administrator put together a customized default dock arrangement with the most commonly utilized applications included in our base image allowing our end users to start with a small clean dock arrangement and add applications/folders as desired.
Regrettably, last week I inadvertently made a change within WGM's managed dock settings in our default production policy. The following morning, several end users logged on to find that their dock customizations had been discarded and replaced with the default setup. To minimize the impacted users, I enabled "merge with user's dock" to avoid further loss of dock customizations. Looking forward, as we roll out new hardware with new images to our existing users, I would like to start with the same scaled back dock with the commonly utilized applications included in our base image. The problem with enabling "merge with user's dock" is that the default set of Mac OS X icons is included causing the dock to be cluttered.
Is there anyway to only apply managed dock preferences if there is not a local profile on the machine the user is logging into? Any other thoughts for circumnavigating the mess I created?
Thanks!

Enabling "merge with user's dock" created problems of its own by introducing duplicate icons for some users. In the end, I unchecked it. Unfortunately, all users are going to receive the default dock arrangement and have to re-customize their dock preferences as desired.

Snow leopard on Lion

Just bought an iMac to replace my G4 which is in the process of giving up the ghost.
New units unfortunately ship with Lion installed and I need Snow Leopard to run essential PPC
software.
Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on a Lion installed iMac tried to boot from the install DVD
I bought but it just beeps at me . Can the drive be erased and partitioned from recovery and both
OS be installed or would this cause conflicts?

A new machine that shipped with Lion may not be capable of running Snow Leopard, as the necessary hardware support is missing. Even if it can run Snow Leopard, it would be a trick to find a disk that would work. However, you can run Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine under Lion, and run your PPC apps that way... try posting over on the Snow Leopard Server forum for help with that.
Note that you need to replace those PPC apps as soon as possible, as you will have more and more trouble running them as the years go by.

Lion clients with Snow leopard Server

Are there known issues with a Snow Leopard Server Mananging Lion Clients. I currently manage 40 IMacs in two labs
all running Snow Leopard, the only services I use on the Mac Server are Open Directiory, Print Services, AFP, and FireWall services
the Server is a Mac PRo with 2x3.2 Ghx quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor and 32. GB RAM

Snow Leopard can't serve AFP devices to Lion clients out of the box. There seems to be a workaround, but I haven't gotten it working myself yet.

How do I upgrade Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion (client)?

I have a Mac Mini Server edition (2010) with Snow Leopard Server (10.6.8) pre-installed. I don't like the interface of Server edition because 1) I don't need the server functions and 2) I prefer client OS's easier (less powerful I know) interface to do sharing, logging in, configuring.... etc.
(I know I should've bought the non-server version with a DVD drive but I can't take it back now.)
My question is, what's the easiest way of changing it to a 'client OS', preferably to the latest Mountain Lion? From forum posts it seems downgrading from 'server' to 'client' will definitely require a fresh install. That's fine. I can move all my personal files to the second HDD in the Mini and do a fresh install of OS on the first HDD.
I can see 'Mountain Lion' upgrade in the App Store, but it doesn't say if it's server or client. I am assuming it's a server upgrade?? What will happen if I purchase it for £13.99 in App Store? Or is there an alternative way?
I have a USB Apple optical drive. I have a USB thumbdrive too for storing the OS image if required. Thank you. Any tips will be appreciated.

I went to the AppStore and as I was running Snow Leopard Server it prompted me to purchase Lion Server which I didn't want.
Luckily, I wasn't asked to purchase the 'Server' when I upgraded from SLS to Mountain Lion via the AppStore. I think your particular problem was mentioned in some other posts where the upgrade path to Lion became an infinite loop (hmmm... ). But that's all in the past now. Glad it all worked.

Lion Clients 10.7.4 show network accounts are unavailable and server is not responding when binding to Snow Leopard server 10.6.8

Hello,
I am running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 and my clients are Lion 10.7.4. While testing I had no issues binding 10.7.4 to our 10.6.8 server's OD. I created a 10.7.4 image to push to all of our machines and in the beginning of last week I was able to push the image and get the machines to bind with OD and apply preferences on these machines through workgroup manager. Towards the end of the week though this stopped working. Now any time I bind a 10.7.4 client to OD it allows me to perform an authenticated bind and the machine shows up in workgroup manager but immediatley after binding the client the status jelly next to the OD server in the directory list is red and says "This server is not responding". If I reboot the client I get a notification that "Network accounts are unavailable" at the login screen. My preferences from workgroup manager are also not applying, which is my main concern because without workgroup manager my mac server is somewhat pointless as we use it for very little else.
I've since tried to bind a snow leopard machine (10.6.8) and this still is working with a green status jelly. I've also built a lion machine from scratch, updated to the 10.7.4 combined update and am still getting the same issue where it shows the server is not responding when binding to OD. I then applied the subsiquent OS update after the 10.7.4 combined update but the problem still persists.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any help would help me keep my sanity.
Thanks,
Dane

Have you had any luck finding a solution to this? The only thing I have found was to unbind and then bind without authentication. Any help with progress on your end would be appreciated!

Can I use Snow Leopard Server with Windows clients?

Mainly for e-mails and calendars. I have small office with 12 windows computers from XP to Win 7 and MS Office from 2003 to 2007. Will Snow Leopard Server work with that?

Can Mac OS X Server do this? Sure.
You're going to be learning a whole lot about running a server, regardless.
You really need to sort out what you have here and where you want to be, and how to upgrade or replace yor migrate your environment, and before you add the substantial increase in complexity of serving Windows from Mac. If you can't get off of Office circa 2003 or similarly old software, what are you going to do when you find, say, an incompatibility, or a need to migrate mail clients? Who are you going to call for help?
I'd guess that Small Business Server (SBS) is likely your best target here.
AFAIK, Exchange Server (which I'm guessing is what you're using) supports larger mailboxes in newer releases.
Look at the sustaining costs for what you're considering purchasing, too. How much it'll cost to configure, deploy and maintain the box and the network. Up-front costs are an obvious consideration, but maintaining many boxes and many versions itself introduces costs.
The arrival of Lion Server next month does not change my opinion. (And I'm not usually suggesting Windows and Windows Server boxes, either.) (And with the arrival of Lion and Lion Server, I'll follow my usual approach and not look to upgrade to the first release of that (or any other) new platform, if there are business-critical functions and services involved. You need time to debug and test the deployment.)

Server Admin. file sharing lion client to Snow leopard server

I'm running Lion on my client Mac and my Server is Snow leopard 10.6.8. I have to use Server Admin 10.7 on Lion but there is no "File Sharing" tab to set up or edit the file sharing options on my 10.6 server?. I understand this is correct for Lion Server, but how do I get round it for Snow leopard Server?? On the Apple website compatibility page (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1822) it states:
"Mac OS X Server v10.6
To administer a Mac OS X Server v10.6-based server, you can use the Server Admin Tools 10.6 on a Mac OS X v10.6 (client) computer. You should match the version numbers of the server, tools, and admin workstation as closely as possible; for example, use Server Admin Tools version 10.6.8 on Mac OS X v10.6.8 to administer Mac OS X Server v10.6.8. You may also use the Server Admin Tools 10.7 on an OS X Lion computer to administer Mac OS X Server v10.6."
So, How do I administer file sharing???

To configure File Sharing on a 10.6 server using 10.7 Server Admin, click the service (AFP, SMB, NFS, etc.) then click the Share Points tab.

Snow Leopard Server with Lion Server for APNS

Hello Everyone,
I'm wanting to keep my Snow Leopard Server (Xserve) setup in place its working great, and cant afford to have any down time on the company network. What I would like to do is setup up an additional Mac Mini with Lion server to handel just the APNS. Is this possiable.
I would be running all of the services, mail, OD, addressbook, caladar, on the Snow leopard server but want to use Lion Server to push out and manage some Lion clients, and iPhone with a second server has anyone done this, can this setup work?
Thanks!
Robert

Hi Robert
"Can you provide the basics for setup?"
Apart from making sure DNS is configured correctly - as always - there's not much else you need to know. Server has to be configured as an OD Master. It does work with the default self-signed certificate although Apple do recommend you purchase one from a CA such as Verisign. I mention Verisign because it's trusted by the US Government. Once you've got your push notification certificate from Apple, enable the relevant option in the Server App. From there create the enrolment profile and key in the relevant url in your IOS device. The rest is fairly obvious. If DNS is not properly configured for your network this part probably will fail.
"Can this all be completed in server admin, or the new server.app?"
AFAIK Server Admin is not involved with APNS.
"Did you just bind Lion Server too Snow Leopard Server, connect to another OD, or replica?"
This was on a publicly accessible server that was its own OD Master. Provided things are configured correctly I can't see why it can't work with an environment that's behind NAT.
"What do I setup after this?"
Apart from making sure DNS is configured properly as well as the tip regarding trusted certificates I can't think of anything else? From what I've seen MDM in Lion Server is very good and what's more quick on the devices I tested. I only tested IOS devices and testing was done 'over the air.' You can still use the ICPU assuming you kept a copy of the download?
HTH?

Snow leopard server is created endless duplicates in OSX Lion clients

I am running a snow leopard server with address book server. My client computer was Snow leopard and have no problem syncing with the 10.6 server in address book. After the client computer is upgraded to 10.7 Lion, the address book application is creating a never ending stream of duplicate address entries in the client computer. It happens to all the upgraded 10.7 computers. The entries just keep multiplying into the thousands until I stop the address book server. Anybody know of this problem and how to fix it??

The address book on my mac somehow duplicated my contacts to the point where instead of about 200, I have about 100,000! The program crashes - if it even opens at all, which is sometimes doesnt - whenever I try to delete more than just a few. And if it doesn't crash, it just takes forever to process. At this rate I need a solid 3 hours to sit here and delete a few contacts at a time! Did you ever figure out how to resolve this problem?
