Solutions to Some DNS, OD, AFP, CalDAV, AFP, and Spotlight Issues
I recently upgraded our aging Xserve (1.3GHz G4, yeah baby!) to Leopard Server from Tiger Server so everything in the office would all be on the same OS. This server hosts all our in-use files via an Xserve RAID, and our dead files are on the internal 3-disk striped array. It's also the Open Directory master and hosts the office's DNS (I wanted to put OD and DNS on the new Xeon Xserve that hosts our FileMaker database, Retrospect backup, and our Squid web proxy, but something in its DNS configuration is broken and I gave up on that since OD and DNS don't really put any additional stress on the G4). Anyway, with all the hoopla of configuring, reconfiguring, and fixing, I've learned some things that may help others.
*DNS, Open Directory, and AFP*
I had some trouble with groups and ACL permissions, inability to get CalDAV working, and general strangeness with OD and Workgroup Manager. Demoting the server from an OD master to standalone took care of most of these. Part of the problem was an incorrect LDAP search base, which can only be corrected by blowing away the OD master and making sure DNS is set up properly. We only have about 20 users (we don't host network homes or anything like that), so when I did the demotion I just let it destroy all the accounts, and after promoting the server back to an OD master, I recreated the users and groups from scratch. So with freshly created users and groups, and after resetting the ACL's and propagating permissions on the network shares, that cleared up the permissions problems. The corrected LDAP search base fixed the Directory application too, which wasn't showing any contacts before, and it got Kerberos working as well.
iCal/CalDAV
All this work also got CalDAV/iCal calendar sharing running, and when I enable calendaring for a user, it stays enabled in WGM. Before, whenever I'd switch to another user and come back, calendaring would be turned off in WGM, although it was in fact still enabled. I haven't tested calendaring much yet, and adding an account in iCal is still a bit flakey. Our DNS is just internal, so in Server Admin I un-checked "fully-qualified" for our few DNS hostnames. If I mark the server's DNS hostname as fully-qualified, auto-discovery of the address in iCal won't work. iCal rejects my passwords if Kerberos authentication is used in either case, even if I manually point it to the IP address, but it connects fine without Kerberos.
*Spotlight and AFP*
Another problem I had after upgrading the server was stale spotlight searches. I used Server Admin to turn spotlight searching on and off for the two shares, and I tried any number of mdutil commands and System Preferences "privacy" settings to turn indexing on and off and to rebuild the indexes. With the old machine and about a terabyte of data, indexing would take all night, so I couldn't really try a lot of things. Every time the index was rebuilt, it would propagate out to the office just fine, but it would never update from then on. The solution to that was changing the permissions on the volumes the shares are on. The shares themselves had the correct permissions and ACL's, but the volumes need their POSIX permissions set to:
owner: root: read/write/execute
group: admin: read/write/execute
everyone: read/execute
Over the years those permissions had been changed (this server started out with OS X 10.2 Server btw, so there's been plenty of time for things to get b0rked), but Tiger Server apparently didn't care. Another thing I did (although I'm not sure if this was necessary) was to change the "Others" POSIX permission from None to Read Only. Once all that was changed, mdworker started chugging along to keep the spotlight index updated. However, it went nuts after the 10.5.6 Server update, constantly working with no sign of ever finishing. The update notes do make specific mention to Spotlight changes, which says you have to disable spotlight indexing for any shares in Server Admin, then re-enabled it to "take advantage of the new features." That started another night of indexing, but it's now done and updating properly. I noticed that a new inherited ACL for the user "Spotlight" showed up at the root level of each share point. I'm not going to touch that.
I'll admit that I hate spotlight's interface and lack of control in Leopard (i.e. it always resets your search parameters, you can't change the results window's columns, and you have to already be in the folder you want to search, etc.). That being said, I can search for anything on the server and it finds the results almost instantly. Even a search that returns "more than 10,000" results only takes about 5 seconds. With Tiger or Panther server, ANY search would take several minutes and grind the server to a halt, making anyone else who tried to save a file or navigate the shared volumes get the spinning beach ball.
Hopefully this will be of help to someone.
Hi.
You've not outlined your issues with AFP per se, having any ?
DNS is critical for OS X Server, it's appropriately finicky about working forward & reverse DNS lookup for its FQDN.
Certainly, Leopard Server may make assumptions contrary to your intent, if using the non-advanced setups, as it will attempt to use DNS and if not available, this may result in settings other than you desire.
By default, hostnames entered in the Server Admin DNS settings, will be considered as part of the DNS zone you're editing.
So:
server
would be for: server.yourfqdn.com
If you mark that as fully qualified, well, then it's looking for: server
which is not a FQDN
As well, I believe Apple states it should no longer be necessary, but if you do need to change the hostname for your OD master, it is often possible via the Termina/command-line via:
(sudo) changeip

The only tools I have seen merely 'analyse' (i.e. don't really) and/or summarise the information in the Apple logs. As the Apple logs are almost completely useless for this purpose they do not help at all.
For those unaware, the Apple logs for AFP and most other services record activity like this.
1. User logs in, this is time stamped in the log and lists the user name and the MAC address of the computer logged in from.
2. User then does activity on the AFP file server, this activity is also time stamped but only lists the MAC address and not the user name. Every single file open command, etc. can be recorded which if your using network home directories results in a vast number of entries.
The result is that if you want to find who deleted a file, you need to find the log entry listing the file deletion and then laboriously read back through potentially tens of thousands of lines in the log(s) until you find the matching login for that MAC address so you can then determine WHO deleted the file rather than which computer. As these entries can span across more than one actual log file due to the logs being rotated when a size limit is reached this is a nightmare to do.
In other words, the logs are almost completely useless for auditing.
I have a law firm also looking for a similar solution.
The best I can say so far would be to stop using Mac OS X as a file server and switch to something else which offers proper auditing.
Note: This situation is a result of Apple not addressing the Enterprise market historically - with some justification. It would still be nice to have a solution especially now that Enterprise is taking Apple (a little bit) more seriously.
PS. To make things worse, I am currently implementing a Mac terminal server, this will have multiple logins running at the same time which will be in turn logging in to a Mac AFP server. As these sessions are all running on the same physical (terminal) server, as far as the AFP server is concerned they will all have the exact same Ethernet MAC address! This will make it literally impossible to tell which user did an operation using Apple's current feeble logging. -
Hi,
I have a single step batching process managing my formlist creation. In this process I execute PDF printing and AFP printing. PDF print with RULMultiFilePrint callback funciton.
When executing gendata it prints my PDFs as we build it. but AFP batch dosen't run. AFP file is created but no data inside. BUT! if we execute genprint It creates the AFP as we build it.
Any suggestions?
this is my AFGJOB file:

Lets keep it simple for now: create two recipients per form
Cliente and Cliente1 where one is intended for AFP and the other intended for PDF. I am assuming you are using Documaker 11.3 or better
Two batches would be created and the print types adjusted for each batch.
Based on your AFGJOB the entries should be as follows.
;BatchingByPageCountPerRecipINI;;;
;BatchingByRecipINI;2;;
You will also need a corresponding FSISYS/FSIUSER entry that routes the recipient into its own batch
< BatchingByRecip >
Batch_Recip_Def = TRUE;"BATCH1";CLIENTE
Batch_Recip_Def = TRUE;"BATCH2";CLIENTE1
DefaultBatch = ERROR
This can be configured using the DM Studio UI.
Where BATCH1 is PDF and BATCH2 is AFP.
If you then need to adjust by page count, you will need to create additional batches.
For example if
AFP BATCH2 < 5 pages
AFP BATCH3 > 4 pages
There is a page count entry in the batching
where BATCH2 1-4
and BATCH3 5-999
Your INI files changes should then be reflected as follows.
< BatchingByRecip >
Batch_Recip_Def = TRUE;"BATCH1";CLIENTE
Batch_Recip_Def = TRUE;"BATCH2";CLIENTE1
Batch_Recip_Def = TRUE;"BATCH3";CLIENTE1
DefaultBatch = ERROR
As each transaction runs through Documaker this separates the PDF form AFP through the recipient logic then the system takes out the 1-4 page count transactions into BATCH 2 and the 5-999 page counts into BATCH3. each transaction runs through this logic and once it has found its home in a batch, the system moves on.
You can get much more creative that this with some file manipulations, but this keeps it the simplest since I am guessing that there is no need to separate the PDF generation by page count. -
Difference between afp and smb
I'm running OS X server 10.5.8. unlimited license with only file sharing enabled.
When a large number of users (more than 7 or 8) try to log on the server at the same time, the server goes AWOL. A few users get on and that's it. When I check the server preferences, file sharing has turned off by itself. When I try to restart it, it just turns off again. After waiting a while, I can turn it on again, or it'll turn on again by itself after a good long while.
This is in the setting of a computer lab. The users get on via afp. Would smb work better? What's the difference between the two?
I'll appreciate any help or suggestions on this.

That's clearly not normal. What do the logs have to say?

AFP was designed by Apple and is the native file sharing protocol in Mac OS X.
SMB was designed by Microsoft and is the native file sharing protocol in Windows.
At one time Macs would use AFP, Windows systems would use SMB. That line is now blurred by the fact that Mac OS X can talk both AFP and SMB, and Windows machines can be persuaded to talk AFP.
There are some under the hood differences and in general your Mac clients should use AFP if possible. Whether SMB is more or less reliable in your case depends on why the server is having these issues in the first place - if it's a resource issue (i.e. not enough memory/cpu/etc.) then enabling SMB is likely to make things worse since the server now has an additional process to keep running. -

Hi All
I'm new to OS X Server but am trying to setup a simple home server for two or three Macs.
I have a G4 xServe running Leopard server, with a single ethernet connection. The ethernet connection is configured as follows:
fixed IP (192.168.0.254)
Router: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server: 192.168.0.254
Search domains: capricorn.local
Under DNS in Server Admin, the following is setup as Primary Zone:
Primary zone name: capricorn. (fully qualified is ticked)
Nameservers: xgrid-main.capricorn.
Machine Name: xgrid-main (fully qualified is not ticked)
IP addresses: 192.168.0.254
On another Mac my network setup has the server IP (192.168.0.254) as the DNS server and 'capricorn' as the 'Search domains' entry.
I have done 'nslookup' in terminal on the workstation for the server name and server IP and both lookup and reverse lookup seem to work successfully.On server and workstation I am able to browse the web.
The problem I am having is that a domain name that I own is pointed at my static IP, and something I've done has made it innaccessible from both inside and outside my network (website is configured on server, I can access it from inside LAN by typing '192.168.0.254' but not by typing 'xgrid.ca').
I'm fairly new to this stuff and I know it's not supposed to be really simple, but I was hoping someone might be able to link to an article or tutorial covering my situation.
Hopefully this is clear, thanks in advance..
TobyThis does not necessarily indicate a problem.
The fact that you're getting the IP address you expect implies that your DNS is working.
The fact that you cannot ping it, or connect to the server at that address is a facet of your router - either you haven't configured port forwarding to link the public address to your server, or it sounds like it isn't configured (or capable?) of bouncing connections from the inside network to the public address back into the internal network. Many routers have this issue.
If port forwarding is setup properly, you should be able to connect to the server from a remote location. If that's the case then it is definitely the NAT bounceback problem. If that's the case your solutions are to either replace the router, or change the DNS to serve the internal address of the server, not the public address. This is a fine solution if your DNS server is only used from local clients (ones on your local network), otherwise you have to go through extra hoops to serve different results to clients coming from the public network than those on the private one. -
OS X Server, AFP and Logic 8
Hi,
I'm looking to buy OS X Server for our school. We run Logic Studio 8 at the moment and currently have a share on a NAS that the users can save their files to (login accounts local to computers.) The problem I had was that Logic files refused to save to the share when the transfer protocol was AFP, yet it worked perfectly over SMB.
I know Server will run user accounts and network Home folders over AFP (which we want to do), so will the Logic files not save if we ran Server? This would be a major problem if it's the case.
The issue with AFP and Logic has always been present, Samba being the only option since as far back as I can remember, yet Apple have done nothing that I know of about this serious limitation.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Andy
PS: If this is better in the Server forum please move the post.Hi Andy,
Our school is running OS X Server with Network Home Directories. We have no problems with students saving Logic 8 to their respective directories. If your doing sequencing with Virtural instruments and the like this will prove a good system for you. We also have the stock EXS samples served up on an automount groups folder. If you have good network infrastructure you will find that an easy way of maintaining your stock sample libraries for all your students.
We're using OS X 10.4.11 Server with 10.4.11 clients.
Hope this helps

Questions about AFP and SMB network drives
Is there a major speed difference between the two? At my school I am given network drive space, and my drive seems accessibly via afp:// and not via SMB.
I transferred a 30MB file once and afp:// transferred at about 1 MB a second. This seemed about as fast as when I used OS 9 and connected to afp:// servers.
Also can one access a afp:// drive on a Windows 98 computer without third party software (PC MacLan)? The It director has been trying to help my Windows 98 laptop also gain access to my drive, but everything he has told me to try has failed. Perhaps because Windows 98 cant connect with Appletalk over TCP/IP servers.
Thanks for the help.
If this message belongs in another forum, please let me know.
JohnI am on a T1 and using the ibooks network card.
Back in 2005 I was on a Performa 6360 and also used a network card (100 base T) on a T1.
Its strange why the ibook would be no faster than the performa for transferring files.
So can Windows 98 connect to afp:// servers?

Which is the better one, between AFP and SMB protocol for files' transporti
Hi,
I'm a newbie here and I have a question for MAC AFP protocol.
For files' transporting, MAC os has AFP protocol, and it also supports SMB protocol. Is there any difference between these two protocols?
Is the AFP protocol better than the SMB protocol , for files' transporting between two MACs, MACs and Windows,or two Windows?AFP is preferred for Mac -> Mac transfers. It's the native Mac protocol and easiest to maintain.
Windows systems typically don't understand AFP so it's not an option for them. For Windows transfers you should use SMB.
The Mac can talk SMB, too, so if you had to choose only one, and you have Windows clients on your network, then SMB would be the way to go.
You are not limited to running just one, though. It's perfectly valid to have the server talk both AFP and SMB at the same time, letting each client use the protocol it prefers. -

Solution for some iPod/iTunes problems...
If you are having one or more of the following problems, Windows may be confusing iPod with a network drive or hard drive and may exhibit strange behavior, like:
-iPod does not show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer
-iPod does not show up as disk in Windows Explorer (even though disk mode in enabled ont he iPod).
-iTunes and Windows Explorer report the wrong amount of available space on the iPod.
-No songs appear on the iPod after an apprently successful update from iTunes.
-Music copied to mapped network drive instead of iPod.
-The iPod setup assistant appears in iTunes everytime the iPod is connected.
-iTunes displays the "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode- use iTunes to restore" message even after the iPod has been restored.
-The wrong iPod name displays in the iTunes source list.
Please note*changing the iPod drive letter may not affect what letter theiPod uses on subsequent connections, so its not the best long-term solution unless you want to change this everytime you have issues.
To change the drive letter:
-Open Control Panel in Windows
-Go to Administrative Tools
-Go to Computer Management
-Go to Disk Management
-Locate theiPod and right click on it, then click Change drive letter and paths.
-Use the drop-down box to select a new drive letter. Make sure to use a drive letter that is not already assigned to a network drive. The drop-down menu will display all letters that are not assigned to a physical drive, but network drives will stil be listed so be careful. If you arent sure, add a new drive and pick your own letter, something way down the list is best since common drives are A, B, C, D, etc.
-click OK
-Click yes on the confirmation box
-Restart computer
Good luck!!! It worked for me!!!Honestly, I don't know!! I searched ITunes and IE7 and saw that others were having the same problem I was and that if they stopped using IE7 Itunes started working again.
Basically, I was just proud of dumping Internet Explorer! See, I really love Macs. I had an ibook that finally conked out and i couldn't afford another mac. -

I originally posted this question to the community section and was advised to post it here. Please bear with me as this will be a long post. I'm including the scenarios involving this reoccurring issue, the trouble shooting steps I've already
taken and the results of several diagnostic tools and logs.
I have a Sony VAIOS VPCEBB33FM lap top since 2011. I have had this issue on an off for a long time. I'm at my wit's end. Any new insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Scenario Details
1) Some times it's on and off through out the day, sometimes it won't work all day, and once in a while it will work fine for the entire day.
2) I've had this issue across several wireless services, Clear Network accessed with WiMax, Library Wi-fi, Comcast cable internet using wireless router and Wi-fi, and Comcast Xfinity Wi-Fi, to name a few examples.
3) Other devices in the household or library will work with no problems such as my smart phone or my roommates' laptops or desktop computers.
4) Once in a while, the built-in wireless adapter is not found and I have to reinstall the driver. Also the diagnostic tool has had to reset my adapter on an increasing basis.
5) I had my hard drive replaced in December 2014 and my system restored from the System Restore disks that came with it when I bought the laptop. Even though I've been online on an infrequent basis it worked just fine for a while. Now that
I've been online a bit more I'm having the same issues again.
Below are my attempts at trouble shooting so far but I still have not been able to consistently resolve my DNS issues
1) Restarting my adapter
2) Turning off my laptop and removing the power supply for 5-10 minutes before turning it back on.
3) Using the IP Config in Command Prompt
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
4) Using the NetSh reset in Command Prompt and restarting my laptop
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
netsh winsock reset
ipconfig /flushdns
[restart laptop]
5) Configuring the TCP/IP in several settings
Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click Properties.
I have used the following settings:
a) Obtain an DNS server address automatically
b) OpenDNS
208 67 222 222
208 67 220 220
c) Google DNS
8 8 8 8
8 8 4 4
6) Updating the driver for my Intel Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6250 AGN and Intel Centrino(R) WIMAX 6250 from the Intel website previous having my laptop wiped clean in 2014. It still did not resolve the issue. My laptop
manufacturer as not come up with an driver update for my adapter since 2010. I haven't tried to update the adapter driver from Intel's website since having my laptop repaired due to the fact that Intel strongly recommending using the manufacturer's updates
instead and frankly it didn't make much of a difference when I did it the first time.
7) The last one I've tried as of today is going into Services and changing the start up type to automatic for the following:
Computer Browser [changed from manual to automatic]
DHCP Client [already set to automatic]
DNS Client [already set to automatic]
Network Connections [already set to automatic]
Network Location Awareness [changed from manual to automatic]
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) [already set to automatic]
Server [already set to automatic]
TCP/IP Netbios helper [already set to automatic]
Workstation [already set to automatic]
...and I'm still having DNS issues.
My only guessing are that my laptop came with a lemon adapter that needs to be replaced, some advanced setting(s) that I'm not aware off, or my firewall/anti-virus is interfering. I've used Symmantic Anti-virus and Firewall in the past and currently
Avast Anti-Virus with Microsoft Network Firewall. I've had DNS issues with both anti-virus/firewall set ups.
Below are the results from the diagnostics and tests that I've ran.
