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.

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.

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

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.

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?

I use Pro Logic 9 and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

I use Pro Logic 9.1.8. and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

Old saying applies here most of the time......
"If it ain't broken, don't fix it"
I choose to use LP9 with Snow Leopard myself (10.6.8 and 9.1.6) for most of my commercial work simply because I find that combo very stable and provides the best overall performance for my setups here... but I am also using LPX with Mavericks as part of my client support and that works fine too although with a drop in performance due to the heavier demands made on the hardware by the newer OS X and LPX graphic routines for example..

Need Help Binding Windows Xp clients to 10.5 server for a beginner

Hi
I've setup 10.5 server as a standard config. Which turns out it is a Open Directory Master and SMB role is Standalone Server.
I have been able to bind my 10.4 clients to the server domian using Directory Access and choosing automatic under LDAPv3/config.
So far the Macs are working well.
But I need to get the PC XP workstations on board. Where in XP do I have to go to enter in the info for the server to bind the clients to it? All this is new to me and still learning. The server is pretty basic. Authenticating users and giving them access to the shares.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Dave
Thanks for the tips. I was wondering if you could help me out some more? I have never done any binding on the PC. Macs seem quite easy. I'm having trouble taking the info I have on the Mac and applying it to the correct input on the PC's. Bare with me. I think I am almost there.
I did not have the diradmim account set up. But I do now.
Now I have gotten to my computer/properties/system properties/Computer name
I clicked on the Change button near bottom right
Now I am at this new window.
Computer name: I can put anything I want in here?
Member of: I should check Domain and enter the domain of the server?
(currently in my smb settings on the server I have workgroup set to WORKGROUP. Does this need to change?)
Last question I think. You mentioned the diradmin account on 10.5. Where do I enter this info on the PC.
Sorry for all the questions but having this info would help and get me where I need to be.
Thanks
Steve

New files and folders on a Linux client mounting a Windows 2012 Server for NFS share do not inherit Owner and Group when SetGID bit set

Problem statement
When I mount a Windows NFS service file share using UUUA and set the Owner and Group, and set the SetGID bit on the parent folder in a hierarchy. New Files and folders inside and underneath the parent folder do not inherit the Owner and Group permissions
of the parent.
I am given to understand from this Microsoft KnowledgeBase article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951716/en-gb) the problem is due to the Windows implmentation of NFS Services not supporting the Solaris SystemV or BSD grpid "Semantics"
However the article says the same functionality can acheived by using ACE Inheritance in conjunction with changing the Registry setting for "KeepInheritance" to enable Inheritance propagation of the Permissions by the Windows NFS Services.
1. The Precise location of the "KeepInheritance" DWORD key appears to have "moved" in Windows Server 2012 from a Services path to a Software path, is this documented somewhere? And after enabling it, (or creating it in the previous
location) the feature seems non-functional. Is there a method to file a Bug with Microsoft for this Feature?
2. All of the references on demonstrating how to set an ACE to achieve the same result "currently" either lead to broken links on Microsoft technical websites, or are not explicit they are vague or circumreferential. There are no plain Examples.
Can an Example be provided?
3. Is UUUA compatible with the method of setting ACE to acheive this result, or must the Linux client mount be "Mapped" using an Authentication source. And could that be with the new Flat File passwd and group files in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
and is there an Example available.
Scenario:
Windows Server 2012 Standard
File Server (Role)
+- Server for NFS (Role) << -- installed
General --
Folder path: F:\Shares\raid-6-array
Remote path: fs4:/raid-6-array

I'm making some "major" progress on this problem.
1. Apparently the "semantics" issue to honor SGID or grpid in NFS on the server side or the client side has been debated for some time. It also existed as of 2009 between Solaris nfs server and Linux nfs clients. The Linux community defaulted to declaring
it a "Server" side issue to avoid "Race" conditions between simultaneous access users and the local file system daemons. The client would have to "check" for the SGID and reformulate its CREATE request to specify the Secondary group it would have to "notice"
by which time it could have changed on the server. SUN declined to fix it.. even though there were reports it did not behave the same between nfs3 vs nfs4 daemons.. which might be because nfs4 servers have local ACL or ACE entries to process.. and a new local/nfs
"inheritance" scheme to worry about honoring.. that could place it in conflict with remote access.. and push the responsibility "outwards" to the nfs client.. introducing a race condition, necessitating "locking" semantics.
This article covers that discovery and no resolution - http://thr3ads.net/zfs-discuss/2009/10/569334-CR6894234-improved-sgid-directory-compatibility-with-non-Solaris-NFS-clients
2. A much Older Microsoft Knowledge Based article had explicit examples of using Windows ACEs and Inheritance to "mitigate" the issue.. basically the nfs client "cannot" update an ACE to make it "Inheritable" [-but-] a Windows side Admin or Windows User
[-can-] update or promote an existing ACE to "Inheritable"
Here are the pertinent statements -
"In Windows Services for UNIX 2.3, you can use the KeepInheritance registry value to set inheritable ACEs and to make sure that these ACEs apply to newly created files and folders on NFS shares."
"Note About the Permissions That Are Set by NFS Clients
The KeepInheritance option only applies ACEs that have inheritance enabled. Any permissions that are set by an NFS client will
only apply to that file or folder, so the resulting ACEs created by an NFS client will
not have inheritance set."
"So
If you want a folder's permissions to be inherited to new subfolders and files, you must set its permissions from the Windows NFS server because the permissions that are set by NFS clients only apply to the folder itself."
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321049
3. I have set up a Windows 2008r2 NFS server and mounted it with a Redhat Enteprise Linux 5 release 10 x86_64 server [Oct 31, 2013] and so far this does appear to be the case.
4. In order to mount and then switch user to a non-root user to create subdirectories and files, I had to mount the NFS share (after enabling Anonymous AUTH_SYS mapping) this is not a good thing, but it was because I have been using UUUA - Unmapped Unix
User Access Mapping, which makes no attempt to "map" a Unix UID/GID set by the NFS client to a Windows User account.
To verify the Inheritance of additional ACEs on new subdirectories and files created by a non-root Unix user, on the Windows NFS server I used the right click properties, security tab context menu, then Advanced to list all the ACEs and looked at the far
Column reflecting if it applied to [This folder only, or This folder and Subdirectories, or This folder and subdirectories and files]
5. All new Subdirectories and files createdby the non-root user had a [Non-Inheritance] ACE created for them.
6. I turned a [Non-Inheritance] ACE into an [Inheritance] ACE by selecting it then clicking [Edit] and using the Drop down to select [This folder, subdirs and files] then I went back to the NFS client and created more subdirs and files. Then back to the
Windows NFS server and checked the new subdirs and folders and they did Inherit the Windows NFS server ACE! - However the UID/GID of the subdirs and folders remained unchanged, they did not reflect the new "Effective" ownership or group membership.
7. I "believe" because I was using UUUA and working "behind" the UID/GID presentation layer for the NFS client, it did not update that presentation layer. It might do that "if" I were using a Mapping mechanism and mapped UID/GID to Windows User SIDs and
Group SIDs. Windows 2008r2 no longer has a "simple" Mapping server, it does not accept flat text files and requires a Schema extension to Active Directory just to MAP a windows account to a UID/GID.. a lot of overhead. Windows Server 2012 accepts flat text
files like /etc/passwd and /etc/group to perform this function and is next on my list of things to see if that will update the UID/GID based on the Windows ACE entries. Since the Local ACE take precedence "over" Inherited ACEs there could be a problem. The
Inheritance appears to be intended [only] to retain Administrative rights over user created subdirs and files by adding an additional ACE at the time of creation.
8. I did verify from the NFS client side in Linux that "Even though" the UID/GID seem to reflect the local non-root user should not have the ability to traverse or create new files, the "phantom" NFS Server ACEs are in place and do permit the function..
reconciling the "view" with "reality" appears problematic, unless the User Mapping will update "effective" rights and ownership in the "view"

Using Lion Server Radius for authenticating "other" clients

Hi I've been trying to get the Radius service in Lion Server to authenticate users of my SQUID web proxy. I have followed the squid wiki's instructions to configure the squid server as a radius client and pass authentication requests to the Lion Server Radius (I hope). However I'm trying to configure and test the Lion Server Radius. As Lions Server Admin GUI for radius only lets to add Airport Basestations, I've been trying to dig around for what underlying config files to edit. I have tried 2 methods of adding the client details to radius:
1. By editing the /etc/raddb/client.conf, and adding/changing (for example):
client localhost {
     secret     = mysecretpassphrase
client 192.168.0.0/24 {
     secret              = mysecretpassphrase
     shortname       = local-lan-clients
and restarting squid. Nothing seems to get mentioned in the radius log file! So I'm not completely convinced that the Lion Radius took any notice of this!
2. Instead of above, added the same client info using radiusconfig:
$ sudo radiusconfig -addclient 192.168.0.0/24 local-lan-clients other <return>
- then it prompts for the secret. With this command I notice the entry/event is recognised in the radius log file, and also looks like some SQL activity. If I dont specify "other" for the nas-type, it defaults to "Aiport Base Station" or similar.
OK, so forgetting about SQUID for a minute, I can't even get that far as I'm just trying to test the config using the "radclient" utility from the Lion Server and the squid server:
$ sudo radclient localhost auth mysecretpassphrase <return>
and... no response, just hangs, nothing in radius log either.
The Lion Firewall allows TCP and UDP requests into the Radius authentication port.
Any ideas what else I need to do? Scratching my head, I'm wondering if it is anything to do with SSL? e.g. do I need to make the authentication using the self-signed certificate that Open Directory has? I presume any Airport Base Stations added to radius will use this certificate to establish a secure connection for authentication.

The RADIUS server in OS X Server is a standard FreeRADIUS implementation with Apple's own custom GUI frontend for configuring it and which only allows adding AirPort base-stations. In Mountain Lion Server it is even limited to a specific configuration for the AirPort base-station.
However if you follow the normal command-line instructions and steps for configuring FreeRADIUS then it will be possible to add any type of RADIUS client.
While as far as I can see by manually configuring the FreeRADIUS server in OS X Server should enable you to do what you want, most people chose to configure Squid to use either a PAM or the LDAP modules for Squid to in this case authenticate directly to Open Directory (which is of course based on LDAP).
I myself have used a PAM in the past with Squid to successfully configure Squid to authenticate users via Open Directory. I was even able to specific an Open Directory group and only allow members of that group access via the Squid Proxy Server. I then went a bit OTT and set up another open-source tool (which was discontinued and I had to fix to get working) to process the Squid logs and store them in MySQL, and then setup FileMaker Pro to connect to the MySQL database via ODBC to allow producing reports.
Unfortunately the AFP458 website had a major redesign a while ago and many previous technical articles on it are now hard to find. I had used two articles on that site to guide me through setting up Squid and the PAM on a Mac server. I believe the two articles I used are the ones listed below.

Upgrade OM 2012 to SP1 Beta - Version of SQL Server for the Operational Database and the Data Warehouse

Hello,
When I try to verify the prerequisites to upgrade my SCOM 2012 UR2 Platform to SP1 Beta, I have these errors :
The installed version of SQL Server is not supported for the operational database.
The installed version of SQL Server is not supported for the data warehouse.
But when I execute this query Select @@version on my MSSQL Instance, the result is :
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64) Jun 17 2011 00:54:03 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7600: ) (Hypervisor)
But
here, we can see that :
Microsoft SQL Server: SQL Server SQL 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2012 SP1, are supported.
Do I need to pach my MSSQL Server with a specific cumulative update package ?
Thanks.

These are the requirements for your SQL:
SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2012 are available in both Standard and Enterprise editions. Operations Manager will function with both editions.
Operations Manager does not support hosting its databases or SQL Server Reporting Services on a 32-bit edition of SQL Server.
Using a different version of SQL Server for different Operations Manager features is not supported. The same version should be used for all features.
SQL Server collation settings for all databases must be one of the following: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, French_CI_AS, Cyrillic_General_CI_AS, Chinese_PRC_CI_AS, Japanese_CI_AS, Traditional_Spanish_CI_AS, or Latin1_General_CI_AS. No other collation
settings are supported.
The SQL Server Agent service must be started, and the startup type must be set to automatic.
Side-by-side installation of System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 reporting and System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Operations Manager reporting on the same server is not supported.
The db_owner role for the operational database must be a domain account. If you set the SQL Server Authentication to Mixed mode, and then try to add a local SQL Server login on the operational database, the Data Access service will not be able to start.
For information about how to resolve the issue, see
System Center Data Access Service Start Up Failure Due to SQL Configuration Change
If you plan to use the Network Monitoring features of System Center 2012 – Operations Manager, you should move the tempdb database to a separate disk that has multiple spindles. For more information, see
tempdb Database.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj656654.aspx#BKMK_RBF_OperationsDatabase
Check the SQL server agent service and see whether it is set to automatic AND started. This got me confused at my first SP1 install as well. This is not done by default...
It's doing common things uncommonly well that brings succes.

Upgrade guide for users of older versions of Flash Media Server?

I'm looking around to see if anyone has sort of done a crossover or upgrade guide for people with older FMS installations.
We've been running the server since at least version 2, and haven't had to change much in upgrading to subsequent versions.
In doing so, we hadn't had to change to some of Adobe's newer ways of doing things with regards to configuration files, etc.
In setting up a test 4.5.x server, though... it appears we will likely want to really change the way we are doing things.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a comprehensive site that would sort of cover topics in a "if you did this this way before, do it this way now" sort of instructions.
Thanks

we just moved from 3.5 to 4.03 and now the sound has 'hiccups' - looked thru forum and made some changes but still happening - be nice like you said if there was a 'your using this version, and this is what you need to do in the next' area

10.9.x Server software update for 10.10 clients

Hi - We have a 10.9.x Server running Software updates. Simple question...will 10.9.x server download updates for 10.10 clients? I can look at the logs but I am lazy. Thought I would post a question here. Thank you

Hi chwhite97,
If you are running Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) Server for your software update service, it can only provide updates for Mac clients running 10.6 through 10.9. See this article for reference -
OS X Server: Software Update Service compatibility - Apple Support
If you wish to update your server so that it will support Yosemite clients, it would need to first be updated to Yosemite itself, available here -
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-yosemite/id915041082?mt=12
Once this is done you would need to update the server's software, available here -
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-server/id883878097?mt=12
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
