SUS on 10.9 server for 10.10 clients?

Hello everyone.
I have a 10.9 server where I go to change the configuration file conf and plist SUS to enable updates to 10.10 client.
In plist file keeps me change with the new string for 10.10 while in the conf insert the string to the Darwin 14, I just restart the SUS server, makes the control and takes it from me now recovering at last Darwin 13 (10.9).
I have already downloaded all the updates for the 10:10 since the plist works, but I can not deliver them to the client.

SUS on 10.6 server for 10.8 clients?

With the move of software update to the Mac App store in Mountain Lion, will SUS on 10.6 server update 10.8 clients?

Not test yet, but if you have a test environment, you can try the following way based on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4771, the lines marked bold are for Mountain Lion clients, good luck.
1. Update your server to Mac OS X Server v10.6.8.
2. Stop the Software Update service if it is running.
3. Quit Server Admin if it is active.
4. Update /etc/swupd/swupd.plist to begin hosting OS X Lion software updates. (See details below.)
5. Update /etc/swupd/swupd.conf to allow OS X Lion computers to receive updates. (See details below.)
6. Open Server Admin and start the Software Update service.
7. Use the instructions in Mac OS X Server v10.6: Using the Software Update service with multiple Mac OS X client versions to point your OS X Lion clients to this server.
In step 4, you will need root access to update the file /etc/swupd/swupd.plist. To be safe, make a backup copy of the file before editing it. Add the string in bold below to the otherCatalogs array:
    otherCatalogs
        index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
        index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog
        index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
       index-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
Note: You can edit the file using a text or property list editor, or use the single command below to make the change.
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'add :otherCatalogs:2 string index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog' /etc/swupd/swupd.plist
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'add :otherCatalogs:3 string index-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog' /etc/swupd/swupd.plist
In step 5, you will need root access to update the file /etc/swupd/swupd.conf. To be safe, make a backup copy of the file before editing it. Locate the following line near the end of the file:
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Darwin/11
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Darwin/12
Edit the following line to read:
    RewriteRule ^/index\.sucatalog$ /index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
   RewriteRule ^/index\.sucatalog$ /index-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog

How can I make a TCP server for muticonnection clients??

Dear group,
I try to change a complicated TCP server with only one client posibility to
a multiclient.
I've seen the examples, even some solution on the ni web, but I don't
understand very well how it's works. I need also logging for each client in
a different file.
Thanks for your help.

The best example I have found is this one
Understanding Client-Server Applications -- Example Code
There are a couple of good links to tutorials off the page as well.
If you have questions about the specific example let us know what they are.

Upgrade "server" for OS X client?

Is there an easy way to cache upgrades on a single mac and redirect other machines there, rather than have every machine connect to the internet?

You mean Apple software updates?
Yes, it's called the Software Update Server and it's a standard part of Mac OS X Server.

Snow Leopard server for 10.7 netboot image

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to create a netboot image of 10.7 using snow leopard server but it is not working. I have already created an image of Lion and then tranfered it over to my server (Snow Leopard). I have scanned the image for restore (not sure if this is needed) and then mounted it using Disk Utility. Now when I lauch SIU then i don't see my pre-created image as image source.
Can i create netboot image of 10.7 using Snow Leopard?
OR
If I created the netboot image using Lion Server and then tranfer the files over to Snow Leopard Server for all my client. Can i do this?
Thanks,

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your help.
So if I create the 10.7 netboot image using 10.7 server and then move the NetBootSP0 folder to SL server then it should be working, right?

Snow leopard server for net boot and software updates only what needs to be running to use it?

Snow leopard server for net boot and software updates only what needs to be running to have it work right?

Netboot and Software Update, at its simplest. Mac OS X Server also expects to have functional IP networking and DNS services (somewhere) on the LAN (and if you're behind a NAT gateway, then the DNS server(s) are on your LAN and not out at your ISP), or things get weird. SUS (usually) works out of the box, outside of cases where there's an outbound firewall. Netboot can be more effort to setup, in terms of what you're loading into the clients.

SUS on 10.4 server, 10.5 clients

Hi all
Mac OS X Server 10.4.11, fully patched on an Xserve G5. Serving OpenDirectory fine (DNS works, in other words).
Mac OS X Client 10.5.4, fully patched with the exception of security update 2008-005 and iTunes 7.1.1.
I started the Software Update Service, mirroring and activate ALL packages automagically. every package has a blue exclamation mark in the meantime - they are there in /usr/share/swupd/html.
I then point the client using WGM via a computer list > Preferences to http://server.inhouse.lan:8088/
After restarting the client, I see on the client in /Library/Managed Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist the client has got the settings I want it to have.
I then run Software Update (GUI/CLI doesn't matter) and get "You're software is up-to-date."
But it is not: when NOT using managed preferences, there are the to updates mentioned above.
If I set the client to use http://192.168.6.11:8080/ the GUI Software Update tells me: There is new software for your computer - but it doesn't show anything in the window. It's empty.
I also tried the hint with http://blabla.bla:8088/index.sucatalog. To no avail - "your software is up to date".
OK. Thanks for reading this. Now, does anyone see a mistake on my side? Something I am missing? Or should we conclude SUS on 10.4 server doesn't work with 10.5 clients - a bug?

Hi Peter
Many thanks for your time.

It is not a bug (not be Apple, anyhow) a 10.4 SUS server can only update a 10.4 Client (and probably OLDER), it cannot. You will need to upgrade the server to 10.5 Server update 10.5 Clients.
I was able to point 10.5 clients to the 10.4 server. They downloaded all updates from my SUS that also where available via Apple at that time.
I'm not sure if there were any machine specific updates, but I think the security updates are, and that was what downloaded (as well as an iTunes update).
Antonio Rocco wrote:
10.4 Software Update Server can update 10.4 clients as well as 10.5 clients but only for updates that are specific to both operating systems. For example: the latest versions of iTunes or Quicktime. For OS specific software like the 10.5.1 update 10.4 Server will download and make it available but it can't push it out to 10.5 Clients. For this to happen you will need a 10.5 Software Update Server. A 10.5 Software Update Server will update both OS versions.
Peter
I don't see it's stated there 10.4 SUS would not work with 10.5 clients. It says 10.4 can't push which was different of my approach to make the client pull the update from a specified server.
Thank you again for your time!

Recently backing up my ipad onto my macbook, which is the backup server for all of my gadgets. This includes all my photos and tons of music. The macbook said it could not backup the ipad because there was insufficient disc space to do so. What now?

I have a macbook operating OSX10.6.7. Recently backing up my ipad which had lots of photos from a recent vacation. I use this laptop as the backup server for all of my gadgets so it has thousands of photos and tons of music. It just told me that it couldn't back up the ipad bc there wasn't enough disc space. I was afraid that this would happen eventually. What next? Newer laptop with more space? I'm not sure what files I could sacrifice to free up more space as most of these are important.

What size hard drive do you have in your MacBook? The cheapest options are, a larger internal hard drive, or an external drive. Or you could get a cheap desktop PC and network to it for storage. I've got one that lives in the hall with 3 Terabytes (That's 3000gb) of storage.

Old school with CS2. Haven't used in a while and am unable to use the program as it says my serial number is invalid. Customer service tells me the server for CS2 has been shut down. Then they sent me here for help. Does anyone have any advice?

I don't have a clue what I am doing with this. Here is my discussion with Customer Service:
Naresh: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
Naresh: Hi Mary.
Naresh: I understand you have been getting invalid serial number, am I right?
Mary Vance: Hi
Mary Vance: yes
Naresh: Please provide me with the serial number, Mary.
Mary Vance: I provided my serial number here
Naresh: Thank you for the serial number.
Naresh: Please allow me 2-3 minutes while I check your serial number.
Mary Vance: no problem
Naresh: Thank you.
Naresh: Thank you for being online.
Naresh: I would like to inform you that the server for CS2 products have been shut down by adobe since then you are not able to install the product.
Naresh: However, I will provide you the link to download CS2 application. Please visit the following link.
Mary Vance: will this allow me to reinstall Photoshop?
Naresh: Yes, Mary.
Mary Vance: ok...what is that link?
Naresh: Please clcik here to download.
Mary Vance: thank you....trying it now
Naresh: You are welcome.
Naresh: I will also provide you the link for further information regarding the installation of CS2 products.
Mary Vance: the download doesn't have anything regarding installation
Naresh: Please click for the information.
Naresh: I am sorry for providing wrong link.
Naresh: Please click here to download.
Naresh: The 3rd link is for the download of CS2 Photoshop.
Naresh: Were you able to view the download link, Mary?
Mary Vance: what file in that download is supposed to help me?
Mary Vance: the first and 3rd link were the same
Mary Vance: when trying to load from my software, I get the message saying my serial number is not valid. All I need is a serial number that works. Is that going to be possible?
Naresh: Mary, Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 applications, including Acrobat 7 and Audition 3, because of a technical issue.
Naresh: So you will have to download the software from the above link.
Naresh: May I know in what OS you are trying to install the software?
Mary Vance: the link sends me to a CS2 help package
Mary Vance: windows 7
Naresh: I am sorry you will not be able to install the CS2 application on Windows 7 since it does not support CS2 version.
Mary Vance: I have had on here for a few years...why all of a sudden would it not work? Illustrator is fine.
Naresh: Okay.
Naresh: You can try downloading the software.
Mary Vance: was the original link that you sent me suppose to allow me to download Photoshop?
Mary Vance: I did try and got the message that the serial number is invalid. Is there any way to get around this or should I throw it away?
Naresh: May I know whether you uninstalled the product.
Naresh: ?
Mary Vance: I did uninstall Photoshop only. Then I tried reinstalling Photoshop only and got the message about the serial number.
Naresh: I check and see that it seems to be a technical issue, I request you to please post your query to the forums so that you will get the resolution from our expertise and I'll provide you the link to visit the forums.
Naresh: Please click here to visit the forums.
Mary Vance: I guess I will try that.
Naresh: Yes, please.
Naresh: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Mary Vance: I don't see where you helped me with this yet, so I guess not!
Naresh: I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Naresh: Thank you for contacting Adobe. We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Goodbye!
Any help would be appreciated.

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

Office Web Apps server for Lync DNS question

We are going to deploy an Office Web Apps server for our Lync 2013 clients, available internally and externally. We do not have a split-horizon DNS so it is not possible for wac.foo.com to have a different IP for internal vs. external clients. What is the
best setup for our scenario? It looks like we can only add one address in the Lync topology builder, so would it make sense to send everybody to the external wac.foo.com regardless of whether they are internal vs. external? Or is there a better option?
Thanks,
Matt

It might be easiest to use pin-point DNS. Create an internal zone called wac.foo.com with a blank A record that points to the internal IP address of the OWAS/WAC server. This way, wac.foo.com will resolve to the correct
internal address, but you're not setting up a split zone for the rest of foo.com.
This trick can come in handy for publishing other items without recreating the entire zone, it's a nice one to keep in your back pocket.

I am using a work laptop and have the same problem. When I try to change the "configure proxy", they only available option is "use this proxy server for all protocols". Could it be that my system administrator blocked me from changing it since they don't want us to use Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.

I have partitioned my time capsule, as I want part of it to act as a media server for both mac and windows. However I don't know what format that I need to partition it to. I also can't make it a permanently accesible drive. I want to restore the drive to the original format (which I don't know) and start again and re-partition the drive in a format that can be used for media by both mac and PC and for time machine back-ups and make the media part of it permanetly accesible so I can add and acccess my files.
Thanks

You are mixing up a couple of things here.
The TC drive cannot be partitioned without removing it.. did you do that?
If you partition it you must use a Mac disk utility and use the HFS+ ie standard Mac format. And GUID partition table not windows type.
You can select erase disk in the airport utility.. that will take the disk back to original format. No partitions. TC is deliberately not partitioned as it is not a media server.. it is a backup device for TM. Over time .. the disk will be filled with TM backups so you have a long history of file changes to your computer.
There is no media server in the TC.. it is merely disk storage.. you can serve files from it to a media device.. but the TC itself is dumb as dumb.
Now the actual format of the drive is irrelevant to the PC.. The TC offers SMB file services to the network. You can copy files to and from the TC as if it was a local disk without caring one iota about the format. The TC handles that .. it is not a local disk .. it is a network drive.
Although you cannot partition the TC. you can still copy files to it.. this does have implications for TM.. but as long as there is plenty of free space should not be a major issue.
You can create a disk image via the disk utility in a Mac.. and as stated you can create partitions if you do it on a Mac with the disk directly connected which means breaking warranty if any exists on the TC.
