Timeout setting in setup package server

Hi All,
We wanted to change the time out setting in our Middleware server(Windows platform wintel) from present 120 mins to 180 mins which is used for creation of setup package.Where we can change the timeout setting in server.Please give me the path or location ..
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am not sure about the native Jboss JTA, but in general the following is true:
-the transaction timeout determines when 'pending' transactions are cleaned up by the JTA
-the larger the value, the longer the time that such transactions can be around
The performance impact depends on the particularities of your application and server environment; to name a few:
-For hot-spot data in your database, transactions will normally have to wait longer to get locks held by other transactions. If the timeout is too short then the clients will see many requests fail because the underlying transaction will timeout before the locks are gotten, and the JTA will rollback.
-On the other hand, if (for some reason) you have failing requests that leave active transactions floating in the server, then a larger timeout will mean that such floating transactions will not release their locks yet (happens at rollback/commit only). So here a larger timeout means that lost transactions (that will rollback anyway) will prevent other transactions from doing business.
-The same argument holds for deadlocks. If a transaction is involved in a deadlock situation then the deadlock will not be resolved until the transaction rolls back after timeout. In this case too, the other transactions are hindered by the locks of a 'lost' transaction.
As a rule of thumb, I would say: keep transaction timeout as high as necessary to allow most transactions to get 'useful' locks (but not much higher than that). For instance, you could measure the statistics on response times under realistic loads and base your timeout value on that (if you're not measuring the deadlocks of course).
Best,
Guy

Hello Gidion,
can you please verify the hostnames/FQDN's? Because:
LOCATION SAP-Gateway on host hemisrq.services.retail.tc.services.retail.tc / sapgw01
host hemisrq.services.retail.tc.services.retail.tc
It seems to me that somewhere the domain is double used.
Additionally:
Sometime there is sapgw 01, sometime sapdp 02. Can you please check the correct service numbers / system numbers?

Creating Setup Package in Netweaver Administrator MI

Hello everybody, 
after a long searching to a clear manual about setting up Mobile Infrastructure client, and after a lot of reading the typical spaghetti manuals of SAP, I started to create a Device Configuration to test the MAM 3.0 
I have created a Device Configuration using the DB2E add-on, MOBILEENGINE_JSP Framework and a MAM30 Application:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Mobile Component Type</td><td>Mobile Component Name</td><td>Version</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ADDON</td><td>DB2E</td><td>822</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>APPLICATION</td><td>MAM30</td><td>1.00</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>FRAMEWORK</td><td>MOBILEENGINE_JSP</td><td>702100</td>
</tr>
</table> 
I have an hierarchy grouping with currently only 1 user and now I want to create a setup package. In the Log Viewer of the Setup Package, I see there is a problem with Trace File: Trace File might not be available in client OR Moving Trace File into new folder failed.

I don't know why there is a different direction for path.
The C:\Temp is specified in the Visual Administrator in the property MITEMP in the Configuration Adapter.
The same for the location C:\sapdb for the MISP property.
It is the Mobile Administrator who is writing the paths with other slash. I don't know how to specify that.
Regarding the NWMICLIENT I used the file NWMCLIENT21_0-20000910.SCA which I downloaded from http://service.sap.com/swdc and then Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group
Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group" SAP NetWeaver" SAP NETWEAVER" SAP NETWEAVER 7.0" Entry by Component" MI Client
I didn't download the NWADMIN, but I'm also not sure how to install this. Is this with the same way as deploying mobile components?

Create setup package failed

Hello,
I try to create a setup package in NetWeaver Mobile Administrator. I created a device configuration with the framework and one with DB2E and XMAM application.
I assigned this to a hierarchy and added the technical user mi_service.
When I create a package it stops and in the log viewer I see :
0050 tc.mobile.admin.bl 172815 20070223 Retrieving device id failed.
In the step before (which is OK) I see:
0070 tc.mobile.admin.bl 172812 20070223 Set the communication server port to 45001
Which port is this? Don't know this one...
Anyone else got this problem?
Kind regards,
jeroen

Hi Jeroen,
when you do setup package creation leveraging the NWMA you have to use a platform based on WIN32. Say your J2EE needs to run on a Windows 32 Box. If you run your J2EE on a different platform you can setup an additional J2EE for SPC. Refer to the how to guides section for doing so (e.g. for NW04 see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80046076-a387-2910-4ba2-c009be46ab60).
What SPC does is simulating a typical user installation, say it installs a client on the J2EE, syncs to get a device ID, syncs again to get apps and data. In the end all gets packed together.
If you get the error that the device ID cannot be received it can have several reasons:
- Client cannot startup on the J2EE (e.g. unsupported platform)
- Services not correctly enabled in SICF (e.g. not active, wrong service user/password)
What you can do is check in the SPC Folder on the J2EE for the temporary installation folder and check the client traces, they will typically point you to a solution. Since SP19, I guess, these logs can as well be downloaded in the NWMA (where typically the setup package would be ready for download).
Hope this helps,
Thomas
PS: If you keep stuck may post the log files of your tmp client

Error creating setup package

Hi all,
I'm getting the following error when the Log Viewer tab is selected when trying to create a setup package in the web console,

I have rebuilt the device and got a new device id and successfully deployed the application on it and attempted to create the setup package again but got the exact same error. Anyone come across this before? Any help greatly appreciated,
regards,
Mark.

Hi,
what version are you on?
Confusing part is: you say you want to build package for PDA - but pathname shown is for PC!
Furthernore: in MI7.0 it was not possible to build setup packages for PDA as I used it last time.

Retrieving device id failed while trying to create setup package

Hi,
We are on SAP MI 2.5 ; SP21 (NW2004). I am trying to create a setup package including the following:
1. DB2E version 912
2. MI2.5 SP18 Framework
3. Addon MI 2.5 SP21 (to pacth MI SP18 to MI SP21)
4. MAU 3.0 SP05
I have included the device configuration in the sequence that they appear above into a Hierarchy Group and assigned users to this group.
When trying to create the set up package for any of these users I get the following error:
0050 tc.mobile.admin.bl ; 172344 20080331 Retrieving device id failed.
The last successful statement in the log Viewer is (i.e. before the above error appears)
"Set the communication server port to 45004"
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank in advance.
Kind Regards
Mike

Hi Sivakumar,
Thank you very much for quick response.
I have tried what you have suggested. It doesn't throw an error any more but the setup package creation is not completed. Looking at the log viewer It seems that it stuck at the following point:
0070 tc.mobile.admin.bl ; 174044 20080401 Set the communication server port to 45013
0070 tc.mobile.admin.bl ; 174044 20080401 Retrieving device id.
This point is the same that was previously kicking the error.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards

Setting up Snow Leopard Server with Address Book, iCal for Small Business

Hello Folks,
I have a small business with 2-3 people and I want to setup Snow Leopard Server on a Mac Mini. I have everything in place, RAID, Backup drive etc.
What I need is a guide on how to setup the server correctly and how to setup Address Book Server, iCal Server, DNS, etc. I was in IT a long while back but have gone back to my creative roots and sworn off IT but I am in a situation where my IT guy's wife is pregnant so he is busy painting the baby's room, etc.
I was looking at Snow Leopard Server for Dummies and a few other books. Do you guys have any suggestions on resources for me to read or research that would give me very straightforward steps in getting this setup. I am at a point where I can re-install from scratch if needed.
For the ease of those that might respond let's assume I know my way around Mac and general networking as a whole.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers,
Jason

Hi Guys,
First of, I will give you a brief background on me regarding networking as a mac user since 1994. I can setup and network multiple macs without a server in our home and small office. Turning file, print and internet sharing with a regular Mac OS X client version at no problem at all. This would be my first time setting up a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server.
I'm in the same boat as Jakekub but we do not have a static IP from our DSL provider. We just bought a Mac Mini Server for our small office with 3 iMacs and 1 MacBook. We will just use the server for internal usage and to centralized things out and use some of server's features like Address Book, Mail, iCal etc. I've search the forums and found Orhidy's post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2148553
I even followed the sample IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS Server and I think I had it correctly setup initially. And I think I got it all running on the basic setup base on his instructions. So I tried to test my DNS settings via Terminal > hostname then got answer as
servername.companyname.private
And double checking DNS again with a command: sudo changeip - checkhostname and was given an answer of:
Primary address = 192.168.1.192
Current Hostname = servername.companyname.private
DNS Hostname = servername.companyname.private
The names match. There is nothing to change
dirserv:success = "success"
But here's another one that bugs me. I tried to follow from "Mac OS X Snow Leopard for Dummies" the command line:
NSLOOKUP hostname
and got an answer of:
;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 192.168.1.192, trying next server
Server: 192.168.1.1
Address: 192.168.1.1#53
** server can't find hostname: NXDOMAIN
So does it mean that I still haven't configured my server properly?
Thank you all for the help in advance!

Discoveries while trying to setup Leopard Server - Help! What am I doing ??

I have documented 2 scenarios and i would like some help with proper build procedures. Until today I have been using the host record I asked my ISP who also hosts Pri/Sec for my company domain to setup. It wasn't until this morning that I realized that they didn't setup a PTR record so because of that I did a RDNS lookup on my static IP and today I programmed that into the host/domain fields thru my build so that there was proper RDNS for the setup. Which looks like this rrcs-0-0-0-0.central.biz.us.rr.com zero's being an actual static IP.
Scenario 1- Install Leopard onto MacMini with Standard install and use Apple Airport extreme for NAT firewall/router. Ok so I have done this about 4-6 times to try and get this right.
A. Install Leopard and let OS auto config Airport-N for port mapping.
B. Airport WAN is static IP from ISP and LAN is 10.0.1.1, Mini LAN is 10.0.1.2 Airport is DHCP provider on LAN.
C. Mini hostname is set to rrcs-0-0-0-0 and domain is set to central.biz.us.rr.com
D. After the system was rebooted after install I immediately got an error because the server prefs told me it could not find server rrcs-0-0-0-0.central.biz.us.rr.com which was weird because it is a brand new build. but since I setup the computer name to be mac-srvr I was able to remove the FQDN and input mac-srvr.local and then I could sign in. ---- I think this happened because when I am trying to log into the server prefs it's going out and performing a lookup and returning an error because from inside the FQDN reverse is actually the WAN interface of the Airport and not the LAN of the mini even though I told the mini to be the FQDN. Hope that makes sense and someone can tell me if I am right and then how to fix it .
E. When I connected the MacBook and setup a user on the LAN side and then immediately disconnected from LAN and performed Dialup to the internet I was able to use the VPN for the first time which is great but but but the ichat would not work as I kept getting certificate errors and the ical from what I remember was good.
So major issues here in this scenario is that internally the server is setup as rrcs-0-0-0-0.central.biz.us.rr.com and services don't seem to be able to find that computer. And second ichat does not accept the default certificate and or cannot connect to the ichat server.
Scenario 2 - Install Leopard onto MacPro with Standard install nic0-wan with static ip 0.0.0.0 and nic1-lan with static of 192.168.1.1
A. Install Leopard and set hostname=rrcs-0-0-0-0 and domain=central.biz.us.rr.com with computer name of mac-srvr.
B. Upon server reboot and the second interface is not giving out IP's, I found that the range was from 192.168.1.2-254 and the default search domain was example.com because I Ieft that field blank during install and so I had to stop DHCP and setup someting like company.office and restart and all is was good.
C. Once Macbook was on LAN and services setup properly I then disconnected and I was not able to VPN into the network like on the macmini unless I opened up the server admin and went the vpn console and then enabled pptp with another range. I could then PPTP vpn but not L2TP which should have worked out of the setup. But when I do PPTP I cannot gain access to server resources via smb://192.168.1.1 which is what the server automatically creates when you run server gateway assistant.
D. The ichat and or L2TP VPN does not work unless I actually go into the Server Admin and disable it which I have another posting in VPN/Networking support about this for a 3rd build showing the same issues.
So major issues here are that services such as ichat, L2TP does not work unless I disable firewall, PPTP does work but does not pass traffic onto the LAN or I can't log into the server shares.
So if anyone has any insight, I am about 20 rebuilds in trying to get just one working properly over the past 3 days. And if anyone has a step by step that would be even better lol. I have all the Apple Server Docs as I attended a training seminar recently so I am well versed in the generic documentation but there is nothing in the server admin or any other apple doc that states this is what you need and how to do it as far as setup goes with setting up your Leopard server if you don't have external DNS and or if you just want to have a fake dns setup like fakeserver.fakedomain.office as we do with SBS. So any help would be good.

Found that if I clean up DNS for my domain with PTR and A then everything started working properly after a rebuild.

How to set up my mail server

I have a Mac Mini with Mac OS X Lion Server 10.7.2 at home. I'm trying to move away from a Windows SBS 2003 with MS Mail Exchange 2003. Because I learned this stuff by setting up the Windows Server, I am trying to follow a similar approach with the Mac Server. (I understand I may have to re-train may brain.) I set up the Mac Mini with a local domain. My setup is primarily for family use, so I did not see a need for registering a public domain. (I've had the Windows setup running since 2003 and all has been fine with that setup.) We have several desktops, and laptops around the house, so I want for everyone to be able to log in to any desktop/laptop they find and still be able to read/send e-mails under their own mail account and keep the mail folder structure they have created. I'm trying for Mac Mail Server to receive all e-mail for all users (mail is provided by our ISP - Verizon.net; some users have more than one e-mail address), for clients to pull mail from the Mac Mail Server (via Mac Mail, or MS Outlook), the clients would send mail ) via the configured SMTP locally, and all the mail forlders to synchronize back to the Mac Mail Server for when the user logs in from another machine. Is that possible? If so, how? I recall that in Windows SBS 2003 I configured a POP Connector that receives all the mail for all the users and I designated a domain user to send the mail to. MS Exchange would take care of sychronizing the mail folders between the client connection and the mail server. I bought the Mac Mini, a Time Capsule and an iMac to start my transition, but I'm not sure I'll be able to duplicate what I had with MS Exchange.

Sorry, I know it is more a microsoft problem, but it happened when I tried to set up my icloud mail on my pc.

Failed to set security on SQL Server registry key. Error: 2

Hi,
I have a Primary site (mixed mode) running SCCM 2007 SP1 for many months now with no issues.
This site is made up of two Win 2008 sp2 servers sharing the SCCM roles:-
SCCM01 - Site server, DP, RP, PXE and SQL2005 hosting the SCCM database
SCCM02 – SUP, MP, FSP, SLP
The SQL2005 on SCCM01 is running under a domain service account called
domain\service_sccm which is also a sysadmin in SQL as is the SCCM02 server.
In an effort to resolve the isse I have made this account a Domain Admin.
I have also used this account to log onto SEC01 to run the Secondary Site installation and to be the SQL Service account.
I'm now trying to add a Secondary Site on a Domain Controller called SEC01 (also Win2008 sp2) and on the same LAN as the SCCM01/02.
This is where I get problems.
I run the installation locally on the Sec Site server (DC) as a Domain Admin and the installation completes OK (all green ticks),
the ComponentSetup.log and Pre-Reqs are all good as well however when I check the ConfigMgrSetup.log I see the below -

This has the account logged in during installation as a sysadmin
SCCM02 is also sysadmin
The fundamental issue appears to be that the SEC01$ server account is not being added to SQL Logins (and therefore SCCM database Roles)
therefore the installation cannot complete.
I have tried to manually add the SEC01 account to SQL Logins before installation of Sec Site but this did not work.
Not sure if the fact that SEC01 is a DC may be a factor.
Appreciate any help if anyone has seen this before or can suggest a resolution.
Thanks

After a lot of digging around and head scratching I eventually found the resolution.
The original thread title Error turned out to be a bit of a red herring in that my failure to deploy Sec Sites came down to two separate issues seemingly unrelated to the error message of the thread title.
The first part of the resolution was to manually create the SQL Server accounts for the Sec Site Servers and assign them to the smsdbrole_MP DB role to
let the SQL side of the SCCM install complete a s these were not being created automatically.
This then left the fact that that the installation of the Sec Site completed successfully according to the install logs in C:\ however the DP and MP would
never install.
The big clue was eventually contained in the mpfdm.log errors relating to
**ERROR: Cannot find path for destination inbox SMS_AMT_PROXY_COMPONENT on server REGISTRY SMS_MP_FILE_DISPATCH_MANAGER
and
**ERROR: Cannot find path for destination inbox Asset Intelligence KB Manager on server REGISTRY SMS_MP_FILE_DISPATCH_MANAGER
Thankfully the errors led me to these two blogs:
http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/scassells/archive/2009/07/20/error-cannot-find-path-for-destination-inbox-sms-amt-proxy-component-on-server-registry.aspx
and
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrsetup/thread/5fcc53d4-8629-4b34-9eaa-6cb020eedc13/
As it turned out the SCCM installation registry and folder creation does not complete and I had to manually enter the reg settings as detailed in the
links above to complete the installation. Once I did as described everything worked a treat – all my MPs and DPs are 100% now.

Setup Lion Server for use in Small Office of Windows & Mac Clients

I've purchased a Mac Mini Server with Lion Server installed to be used in my small office of less than 10 people.
The primary goal of this server is to used for File Sharing, bother locally, and remotely.
In the process of setting up Lion Server I have come across a couple things that I am confused about.
The first is Open Directory.
It is my understanding that this is not a necessary setup for the number of users in my office, however I set it up anyway as it appeared to be something that would be useful in the future.
I have come across information that states Lion Server will not be accessible for Windows users connected via Open Directory. Thus my inclination is to disable the service, and set up my users as local users.
My question is, for local and remote File Sharing, is there any benefit to using Open Directory?
The second has to do with Remote Access.
I am familiar with the notion of a VPN, but I need some clarification as to my remote access options.
When I go to setup my Server's hostname, I am presented with three options. 1) Host name for local network, 2) Host name for private network, and 3) Host name for Internet.
I have a domain name for my company's website, so I set up a subdomain (server.mycompany.com), asked my ISP for a Static WAN IP, and pointed thesubdomain to said IP using my DNS. Thus this appears to be option number 3; to allow users to connect to my server from the local network, as well as the Internet.
My question is, how does this differ from a VPN both in setup, as well as method with which users will access the server? Is there a benefit to one over the other? I would Google this to find an answer, but I can't seem to find a name for what this setup is called.
I very much appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks.

Well, I spoke too soon. Lion Server is unstable, awkward and is far too limited to qualify as an Apple product. Even though there's quite a few enhancements, the omissions of technologies in the server 10.6 edition makes this "server" a no go for us.
Even after installing mysql, I still cannot run a Joomla website on Lion server as it should be done. The wiki's a nice thing to have, but isn't a "professional grade" solution. There's too much iOS as well.
With that said, I think it's a shame that apple would put customers through so much frustration and disappointment by releasing such a lame product. In order for us to use Lion server, we would have to be able to run a second (totally separate) instance of Apache. It also appears that server settings are changing to the extent that services become inaccessible as the system is running.

Help me with setting up my first server

I recently decided to buy a Mac Mini server for my small business (4 users including myself) to run mail, file sharing, calander and addressbook services.
Since I'm also looking at this as a personal project, I don't want to hire a server administrator to do it for me. I have a limited knowledge about server administration, so please bear with me!
So I got the mac mini server, an static IP from my ISP (business internet), a registered domain(example.ca) and a cheap SSL certificate. A website is already up on the example.ca domain (hosted by my domain and host provider) and I don't plan to mess with that.
Using my domain provider's CP, I set the default [email protected] as a catch-all email. I then plan to use a POP email fetcher on the server to get all emails sent to my domain from the webmaster account and distribute them among users. The reason for this setup is that I suspect having instability problems for a while and I don't emails sent to my employees to get rejected because my server might be down. then I set up my network like this :
Modem >>>
unmanaged switch >>>
1. 1st IP(dynamic) :an spare wireless router for my private home network >>> home clients
2. 2nd IP(static) : an 8 port business router for my office network with DHCP enabled >>> mac mini server and 4 other clients
I didn't use mac mini server as a gateway because I didn't want to deal with the complicated mesurements securing the exposed server from public internet.
If I made any mistakes so far, please correct me.
Now I want to start setting up snow leopard server, and I have some questions:
1.What DNS configuration do you think I should use? Considering the mail setup I want to use, and the fact that I don't want to mess with the website seperately hosted website(example.ca), Should I go with a split-brain DNS, use a subdomain, or get another registered domain (like example.me) for internal purposes?
Also,How should I configure the MX records?
(please answer in detail because I'm a real noob when it comes to DNS)
2.Do I need to ask my ISP to correct reverse DNS records for my static IP address? Is that at all needed for running a mail server?
3.What is the current status regarding SLS support for Windows 7 users? I saw a number of topics filled with people complaining that windows 7 users are unable to easily login to SLS. Is that problem still unresolved?
4. At what stage during setup do I need to add the SSL certificate? How do I get the mail server to use the certificate for encrypting connection to outside users?
5. Aside from VPN, what options do I have to provide access to the mail server for outside users? What ports do I need to open on my router's firewall(25,...?)
6.What is the current status of Mozzila thunderbird + Lightening plugin on windows? Is it stable and compatible enough with mail, ical and addressbook servers? Are there any other hassle-free options availabe
7.Do I need to leave NAT enabled on my router?
8.Should I turn off the SLS's built-in firewall to avoid having to open ports on two firewalls(h/w and s/w)?
Sorry if it's a lot to read!
Thanks,

Lots of issues here, I'll try to cover then.

That's fine, conceptually - giving you two LANs, one for home and one for work. However, I'm unsure of the 'dynamic' nature of the home IP address. I'm not aware of any ISP that would give both static and dynamic addresses over the same link. It could happen, but I think it more likely that the ISP gave you a small block of IP addresses (e.g. 4 or 8 addresses) one of which you'll use for your office and the other from home.
That doesn't really make a lot of difference, other than the fact the home network's public IP is likely to be static, not dynamic.
1.What DNS configuration do you think I should use? Considering the mail setup I want to use, and the fact that I don't want to mess with the website seperately hosted website(example.ca), Should I go with a split-brain DNS, use a subdomain, or get another registered domain (like example.me) for internal purposes?
You can't configure split DNS with Server Admin, so if that's what you want you'll have to get under the hood.
However, given the small number of clients involved I'd just go with private, internal DNS for your network clients. That doesn't preclude using an external web host.
Also,How should I configure the MX records?
That's a little trickier since you want mail to go upstream (to your host) and then suck it back down to your server. The real question is whether you want that to happen for internal clients, too - if Joe on your network is sending a message to Bob, does that message need to go through your web host or not?
If not then setup the mail server to be authoritative for your domain and point your internal DNS's MX record to your server.
Leave the MX record in your public DNS pointing to your web host - that way mail from external users will go to your web host (at least for now), but mail sent internally will go direct to the user.
In other words, for now, don't change anything on your public DNS. Just setup your own private DNS server that's only used by your internal hosts. That way you don't impact your public traffic while you're tuning this.
2.Do I need to ask my ISP to correct reverse DNS records for my static IP address? Is that at all needed for running a mail server?
Is that all you need? No. LOL
But it is an important requirement.
3.What is the current status regarding SLS support for Windows 7 users? I saw a number of topics filled with people complaining that windows 7 users are unable to easily login to SLS. Is that problem still unresolved?
I have no idea. I don't have any Windows clients on my network.
4. At what stage during setup do I need to add the SSL certificate? How do I get the mail server to use the certificate for encrypting connection to outside users?
OK, this one worries me a little since you say you have already the SSL certificate. How did you do that?
To obtain a SSL certificate you need to generate a CSR - Certificate Signing Request - from your server that you send to a Certificate Authority. This CSR contains details about your domain/hostname and is verified by the certificate authority - a critical element in the chain of trust.
If you don't yet have your server setup, you can't generate the CSR, so you can't obtain a certificate.
So what did you do?
Normally the process is to use Server Admin to generate a CSR for your server once it's up and running. You then send the CSR to the CA who return a SSL certificate. You install that cert via Server Admin, and all the services (such as mail and web) offer that cert as an option for encryption.
5. Aside from VPN, what options do I have to provide access to the mail server for outside users? What ports do I need to open on my router's firewall(25,...?)
If all your mail clients are internal, that's all you need (to allow incoming mail). All LAN clients talk to the server directly and don't go through your firewall.
6.What is the current status of Mozzila thunderbird + Lightening plugin on windows? Is it stable and compatible enough with mail, ical and addressbook servers? Are there any other hassle-free options availabe
See #3 above
7.Do I need to leave NAT enabled on my router?
Unless you have enough static IP addresses for every machine in your network, yes. Even if you do have enough, I'd usually recommend using it anyway.
8.Should I turn off the SLS's built-in firewall to avoid having to open ports on two firewalls(h/w and s/w)?
Personal choice, but I do.
1. The ISP actually offers only 5 dynamic IPs on my service. However, it gives the option of buying a static IP seperately. and that's what I did.
2. Can you go into a little more detail about the internal DNS configuratio? This is the part I really have problems with.
3. it's really not that important to me that the emails users send internally stay within the network or travel back and forth to the host server. We don't really have that much internal communications. What I really don't understand is how i am going to send emails (from a local email account) to the outside, while there is no reference to my host's mail server in my configuration.
4. I kinda jumped ahead a little bit when I was talking about the SSL certificate. I was actually in the process of buying it without knowing that I need to setup my server first.
5. Actually , I REALLY need the ability to access my mail outside my LAN (I travel a lot), and I prefer to avoid VPN because connecting to VPN that often is a inconvinient.
6.Do you also recommend putting the mac mini behind a router, or prefer the simplicity using it as a gateway brings?
Thanks a lot for the thoughtful answer.

Setting up a leopard server for the first time in live office environment

Hi
After a lot of reading and testing in a small LAN setup, Im going to install and setup leopard server in a small business, with max 10 employees.
Any hints on what I should expect? Any advice on most clever approach?
In the Server Administration Document there is a sample setup in chapter 9. I plan on following this, but will the employess(clients) be able to access the Internet while installation is in progress?
Any advice is appreciated.

I have to use the servers IP address when accessing iCal or wiki or any other service I guess.
I'm not sure what to do to get leopard.mydomain.com to work in my setup. We have a hosting firm to host our mail and web and they control the dns. Do I contact them to add a record for leopard.mydomain.com?
First (and in general) I'd only use and have publicly-registered domain names here.
I'd avoid use any domains that I didn't have registered.
If you have public static IP addresses for your server(s), then I'd suggest deferring all public-facing DNS services and registrations to your ISP or hosting provider, and to your ISP's DNS servers. Your ISP or hosting provider (specifically for mail or public-facing services) would set the mail MX record and any DNS translation for the public static IP address of your Leopard server box.
If you are using private addresses inside a NAT perimeter (which doesn't work for public-facing service such as mail or non-VPN access to blogs and wikis and such), then you can use Leopard Server or (preferably) Snow Leopard Server DNS to serve up local addresses inside your perimeter, and the "local" DNS server can then forward requests for all zones that it is not authoritative for out to your ISP's DNS servers. You probably don't want to be running "public" DNS until you've a better handle on how DNS works; start with a "local" server and learn.

Advice on setting up a windows server 2012 domain LAB for study within Hyper V server 2012 r2 machine

HI im wanting to setup a study lab containing several windows 2012 r2 servers (mixture of core and full installs) to allow me to study towards my MCSA in server 2012 r2 and then for MCSE.
Physical equpiment,
1 pc   which is has window 8.1 pro installed from this machine. This machine i would like to remote manage and connect through to my Hyper-v server and then into any of the virtual machines. (this machine is more of a gaming pc so not
able to run to many vm's from it)
2 pc bought Just for study 8 core processor 1 tb of hhd space 16 gb of ram.
This machine i would like to setup using hyper-v server 2012 r2, which then i would create a test domain within it also with some clients allowing me to play and undstand the principles im learning.
now im getting conflictiong information regarding the Hyper-v server 2012.
If i set the hyper-v server up as a standalone in a work group. Would i be able to manage ther VM's within the hyperv server from my external windows 8 pro machine using the remote server management tools or would i need to connect that pc
to the domain.
Things I think i can do but not sure.   as im still learning
Could I setup a server 2012 r2 running AD dns and add the hyper-v role then wihtin that create the rest of the domain inside, allowing me from my other phyical machine log on to domain and manage all servers and machines.
Could I set up as i originally suggested, set up hyper-v 2012 server in a workgroup, then create the domain within the hyper-v server but still connect from my external pc to manage the hyper-v and all the internal VM's within the domain.
I could run a Domain controller on a VM from my other windows 8 machine (within hyper-v or wmware), then on the 2nd machine install the hyper-v server connect it to the domain running from the other machine from what i can see, many people say this is the
better option, BEST Practice, but this is only a lab and i dont require resilience. and i would prefer to have my  as a sever manager via the remote tools.
So what i like to know if you can point me in the right direction either by a guide for someone who has setup a similar to me.
or tell which of the above options is possible or not so i dont waste anytime.
Network, i know i can do this virtually but i already have cisco routers and layer 2 swicthes so i may make the network lab via them.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

"If i set the hyper-v server up as a standalone in a work group. Would i be able to manage ther VM's within the hyperv server from my external windows 8 pro machine using the remote server management tools or would i need to
connect that pc to the domain."
It makes it easier to set up if everything is in the same domain, but it is quite possible to manage the VMs without being part of the domain. A very useful tool that I use for my lab all the time (my lab is in a lab domain and my laptop is in the
corporate domain with absolutely no trusts between them) is RDCMAN.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21101 I all my machines, physical and virtual, defined within RDCMAN and can easily connect to any one of them from my laptop. But to understand how to manage everything remotely, I create
one virtual workstation within the domain and load all the management tools on it. I RDP to the management workstation and perform most management functions, but I can get to any machine directly if I need to.
"Could I setup a server 2012 r2 running AD dns and add the hyper-v role then wihtin that create the rest of the domain inside, allowing me from my other phyical machine log on to domain and manage all servers and machines."
Yes, but you could also build the AD as a VM, too.
