Trouble connecting to Lion server AFP shares after changing server's hostname

Hello everyone,
I recently changed hostname of my Lion server box (via Server application) and now my clients are having a problem when trying to connect to its AFP shares via aliases. It takes 160 seconds of "resolving alias to <sharename>" before it finally works. Aliases were created by navigating to the server, connecting with "Connect As", providing valid credentials, then navigating one level up and dragging the share icon (blue disk with three white people outlines) to the Desktop with Option-Command.
What is interesting, if I create a new account on a client machine, create an alias, and click on it - it works without any delay, as it was for the clients that are having problems now; so I'm assuming some details about the previous server name got cached somewhere.
The clients with long delay problems can access the shares quickly if they click on the server in the Finder window drawer, then "Connect As" and provide their login credentials - it works instantly then.
I've been digging around quite a bit (deleting Keychain saved Network passwords for any and all references to the server I could find), and also by looking at kerberos logs on the server. What is interesting, the newly created clients I mention above who don't have delay with connecting, don't leave any records in the kerberos log file; but the ones that have 160 second delay do - there's nothing for 160 seconds, and then there is a flurry of activity, as the connection is finally established.
When a client who has trouble connecting uses the "Connect As" method described above, entries in the Kerberos log are created instantly when client clicks connect.
Probably also worth noting that renaming of the server was related to me setting up Open Directory on it.
Any pointers would be greatly apprecited.

I experienced almost exactly the problems you described. I also found that connecting via command line using mount_afp worked right away... and once the connection is established, mounting via finder was super fast.
Tried all kinds of craziness on the client, even a full Time Machine restore.
Tried fixing Open Directory.
I was absolutely stumped by what was happening, but then thought, Hmm. I'm wondering if it's related to MobileMe going down? I noticed it started to happen after July 31...
Success! That was it! Signing out of MobileMe in System Preferences made everything work the way it should!
CDPlayer2: check if the clients are signed in to MobileMe, and if signing out fixes things - I'd appreciate it if you could post your results. Thanks.

Having the exact same problem with connecting ML and Snow Leopard machines to a Windows 8.1 machine. Oddly enough, connecting and copying to/from works perfectly from a Mavericks machine, despite the problems reported about Mavericks regarding the exact opposite. An old thread, but did you find a solution?

OS X 10.6.5 Server AFP share - can't change group from 'staff' ???

Hi,
I'm running a new 10.6.5 XServe within a corporate AD environment. Well, when I say 'running' I mean testing - I could never let this odd beast loose on anyone with the awful state it's in.
Trying to set up the AFP shares, I simply wanted to assign one of our AD groups as the POSIX group for the share, just as I do on our existing Tiger server. 'simply' he says... oh I wish!
Server Admin 'lets' me change the group, then puts it right back to 'staff' again as soon as I hit Save. Same result when trying to change the Owner too, but I'm not needing to change that.
From Terminal, the usual permissions commands have no effect either. Try chgrp MyGroupName MyFolderName.
Tried changing while logged in as either root or admin, no difference.
So, all I want to do is change the group that's assigned to a share's POSIX permissions. Am I expecting too much from SL? Anyone else had this problem, and know the trick to solving it?
Can't believe this is happening - something so basic and important. I've wasted countless hours already with numerous other SL issues. Wish I'd never set eyes on the thing but it's been forced down my throat - we needed a new XServe, which turned up with SL installed of course. I'd gladly do a clean install of plain Leopard over the top, but apparently that's asking for (even more) trouble.
This POSIX nonsense is just the latest obstacle I need to get sorted.
Thanks for any help,
Paul.

Iomega 2003 Storage Server AFP Shares not visible since upgrading to 10.5.6

Iomega suggested that I post here. No AFP shares are visible since I installed the suggested 10.5.6 OSX upgrades. Nothing changed on the Iomega 2003 storage server side and it been running fine with the shares visible for over two years. What has changed in OSX? DO I need to open something up now for security purposes?? PLease advise as I am dying here!!
Peace,
DIGJOE

After working with it some more... Have figured out that the "lock" screen is a security measure from the server software. somehow, I have it set [didn't mean to do this] to show that upon each reboot now, and I'm not sure how to disable it. I'll get into the server manuals and have to research that.
It also seems that the server software sees each HD as another computer somehow... and each partition as well. Curious... Anyway, once I got past the "loced" screen, the fresh install of the server software was in effect, and the primary HD is showing both patitions.
All is happy... [doing little apple happy dance]...
I zero'd out both of the new HD's, and am forgoing the install of the newer 10.5.6 on them. My 10.4.11 server is just fine actually, had no problems with it until I tried to upgrade. I suspect that the server software either wants only 10.4.11 server on everything, or somehow I must "tell " it to accept the other 10.5.6. Not real sure how to do that, however will put my muscles inbetween my ears in gear to think about for awhile.
Thanks for your assistance.

Having trouble connecting to the updater to CC after renewing my subscription...

I have renewed my CC subscription through school for another year. My account is showing that it all is well and in order- but I am having trouble connecting to the taskbar- the Apps page is just a spinning circle and has been since last night. My programs think I still have only 2 days left of my subscription. And I think this problem is stemming from not being able to connect to the App Updater. What do I do? I really don't want to reinstall the whole of the CC suite if it can be avoided.

IPad no longer connecting to HP Photosmart Plus B210 after changing black tore cartridge

I had my iPad nicely connected to my HP Photosmart Plus B210. However, after changing the black tore cartridge I am no longer able to print from the iPad. The printer statur report and the wireless network test both show everything is OK. Most of the time the iPad recognizes the printer and accepts the print command without any error messages. However, sometimes it returns the message that the printer is offline even though it found the printer earlier. Any solutions? Thanks

I too have a B210 and the IPAD has printed marvelously via WIFI for about a half a year. Now, when the IPAD print radio button appears it still lists the B210 is available as if all is good but the printer doesn't come to life when the print command is issued. Printer sez it is connected to the router, too. I have reset the router and the printer a number of times and the printer sez everything is good. But, I can't print any longer from the IPAD. bummer.

Cannot start SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) 2012 after changes to IPALL

I made a change to Protocols for SQLEXPRESS, TCP/IP, IP Addresses, IPALL and now receive an error when attempting to restart SQL Server. Can anyone help with this? Is it possible to restore system to prior checkpoint in order to correct
this?
Please help.

Hi Chuck,
The Error "TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0xd, status code 0x10. Reason: Unable to retrieve registry settings from TCP/IP protocol's 'IPAll' configuration key. The data is invalid" Suggest that there is a problem with the data stored in one
of the registry keys related to SQL server start up. Although the information provided is not sufficient to pinpoint to a specific issues. Still try the following step open the SQL server configuration manager
Select SQL server Network Configuration->Protocols for <Your SQLExpress instance Name>
On the right side double click TCP/IP.Select IPAddresses Tab. Scroll the way down till you file IPALL
Make sure that there are only a valid TCP/IP Port number is present. Even the leading or trailing whitespaces could make a difference here. Once you have verified that above two conditions are met. Try starting the SQL server instance.
Also make sure that the TCP/IP port is not being used by any other program.
You can run the command netstat -aon on the command prompt to see the list of ports being used. Make sure that the port you have specified for SQL server is not listed under the TCP protocols.
Hope this helps.

Needed to copy the share from one server to share in another server

Hi ,
Needed to copy the data from one share named as xyz in the server 1 to the another share abc in another server 2.
Share xyz data should be copied to the share abc which has already different data in it .We need to copy all the data from the share xyz to the share abc without deleting any existing data in the destination share.
I know that /MIR option will replace the destination same as source
Can anybody help us in the Robocopy command & switches for this activity?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks & Regards S.Swaminathan Live & let others live!!!

Hi Mandy,
Thanks for your reply.
I have done many robocopy for the share movements from the one server joined in a domain to another server joined in the same domain.In that instances, the destination server will not be having any share of the old server name and just I robocopy the share
from the old server to the new server after creating a new share .The usual command is as follows:
"\\server1\oldshare" \\server2\newshare" *.* *.* *.* /ZB /E /COPY:DATO /XJ /R:0 /W:0 /TEE /dcopy:T /NP /log:c:\robocopy.txt
And after the copy , during the cutover of the standalone DFS pointing to the new share , the domain users in the corresponding access groups (name of the groups based on the old server name) of Full,Modify,Read will be appropriately copied to the respective
new groups (name of the groups based on the new server name) of the new share and the access is ensured by the users.
But in this case , the destination server is already having a share with existing data in it and to be added with the old share data
My question is shall I use the same command as before by copying all the data to the newly created subfolder inside the existiing destination share through the following command
"\\server1\oldshare" \\server2\newshare\new sub-folder" *.* *.* *.* /ZB /E /COPY:DATO /XJ /R:0 /W:0 /TEE /dcopy:T /NP /log:c:\robocopy.txt
You have already mentioned /E without purge options will do.
Just asking one more time for the safer side
Thanks & Regards S.Swaminathan Live & let others live!!!

Server NAT crashed after install server.app 2.1 in OSX 10.8.2

I have a server (mac mini) OSX 10.8.2. It was working with DHCP and NAT activated manually (command line) but after update it, service NAT do not work. I followed all steps that show here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5215 without success. I have 2 interfaces: en0 connected to internet and en3 to LAN.
Someone has an idea thanks

Can only connect 1 computer at a time after changing from DSL to Cable.

I have 2 laptops using Airport cards, and one Tower connected via ethernet to Airport basestation. With DSL no problem (DSL required PPPoE). With cable I can use internet assistant and restart each device and finally connect, but only one at a time. I'll set up one, then have to reboot everything to set up the next computer and lose the connection with the first. Cable needs to use DHCP it seems.
To get it to work with the new modem I had to change the base stations configuration from distributing IP addresses to not distributing IP addresses. Methinks this has something to do with my not being able to get more than one computer working at a time.
Any help would be appreciated. Have to iBooks, and a G4 tower. 2 running OSX10.4.10, and one wtih 10.5.2.

Figured it out after about an hour talking first with Comcast, then Apple support. AEBS was not acting as router at all, and had been put in bridge mode.
Easy solution once this was realized was to do hard reset (I thought I was doing this by unplugging the AEBS, but had to actually find and press the hard reset button) which reset all the settings at which point setup was pretty easy. Made sure it was not in bridge mode, did an automatic setup using the Airport utility, and voila. Everything including my new iPod could connect.
Now if I could only have the 6 hours back that I spent going around in circles in bridge mode.

"A Suitespot Server" tab disappears after Calendar Server install

After installing another Suitespot server and then Calendar, the tab from one
of the other servers disappears. I reinstall that server, then the Calendar
Server tab disappears!
<p>
Using a text editor, verify that the suitespot_server_root/admin-serv/config/servers.lst
file has no extra white spaces or erroneous chars in the front or end
of each line. If there are, delete the extra character and reload
your admin page. Then, make sure you see each one of your servers listed by an
on/off button.

If you have the Z68MA-D2H-B3 board, go here and get the UEFI update.
http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3975#bios
UEFI is the BIOS replacement. Once that is done you can use USB 3.0 with Win8 and Hyper-V. Oh, and the computer boots about twice as fast. At least that was my experience. There is a list of Gigabyte utilities that need to be removed first, so read
the instructions well.
"(Note) Some GIGABYTE utilities are not supported under UEFI BIOS architecture. Please remove Smart6, Dynamic Energy Saver, Smart TPM, and Touch BIOS utilities before updating the BIOS."
I used a FreeDOS bootable USB to apply the update, since you can't do it from inside Windows or through the BIOS updater.
http://rufus.akeo.ie/
You may need a clean re-install Win8 afterwards. I did it out of habit, so I don't know if it will pick up the changes and work without it. Back your stuff up first just in case you do.

Sqlplus connects locally but not with tns after changing "log on as"

I can connect to the DB from locally with "sqlplus system/password" however I can't with "sqlplus system/password@mysid".
the only thing we changed was in the service. We changed the service -> properties -> Log On values from "Local System Acount" to "This account" with a valid login and password.
RMAN now works to a NAS drive but getting to the DB is not working. When we had "local System Account" selected, we could get to the DB but RMAN could not reach the NAS drive.
Can anyone help? Oracle 11gR2 on Windows server 2008.
Thanks

Thank you for the help. I fixed it my not only changing all the services to that same user, but I added the user to the administrators and ora_dba groups. Now we can use the NAS drive and get to it from TNS.

Problem in 10gR2 enterprise manager after changing the servers hostname

Hello,
I installed 10g R2 Standard Edition on a Suse Linux Server Enterprise 10.
I have the following problem :
I changed the host name from “a” to “b”.
I made the required changes in listener.ora and tns_names.ora.
I also rebuilded the enterprise manager by starting dbca and click on “Configure database options” etc etc.
After that the WEB enterprise manager seemed to work fine.
I logged on the http://localhost:1180/em as sys/password/sysdba.
Then I clicked on maintenance > Backup setting the PROBLEM OCCURS !!!
I get again the web login page but in the connect string I get the old hostname.domain:1521:SID.
And naturally I cannot login because that hostname.domain:1521:SID does not exist.
Somebody knows how can I correct that?
Thanks a lot
Andreas
