Using spamtrainer then Server Admin

I've run spamtrainer and followed all the instructions included with it and all looks well...
I believe I remember reading in some of those instuctions that I should stay clear of changing settings with Server Admin once I've using spamtrainer.
Is it safe to change the "Minimum junk mail score" setting in Server Admin? What are the settings (or is it just any of them) that one should refrain from changing in Server Admin after running spamtrainer?
By the way pterobyte, if you are the one that answers, thanks for all your posts and for spamtrainer.

Alan,
spamtrainer does NOT limit your use of Server Admin in any way whatsoever.
What you probably read somewhere is that you should ditch Server Admin once you start manually modifying postfix and amavisd configuration files.
Yes it is safe to change the score in SA.
Alex
P.S. You are welcome

Problem with server admin connectio

Hi,
Im using Snow leopard server.
I have a problem with connection to server via server admin app. It just says could not connect to server.
At server console there is:
2/27/10 2:58:30 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.servermgrd[414]) Job appears to have crashed: Trace/BPT trap
2/27/10 2:58:30 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.servermgrd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
2/27/10 2:58:30 AM com.apple.ReportCrash.Root[410] 2010-02-27 02:58:30.829 ReportCrash[410:390b] Saved crash report for servermgrd[414] version ??? (???) to /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/servermgrd2010-02-27-025830localhost.crash
And that repeats.
Any ideas how to fix this ?

Yes it did work before. Made some changes to DNS and then server admin lost connection. Server works correctly (dns,mail,ssh access) only server admin connection is lost.
servermgrd is running:
bash-3.2# ps aux | grep servermgrd
root 298 0.0 0.7 2494120 28748 ?? Ss 1:49PM 0:22.16 servermgrd -x
root 1588 0.0 0.0 2425708 276 s001 R+ 2:29PM 0:00.00 grep servermgrd
Is there any way to reset/reinstall servermgrd and its settings to default

Server Admin. file sharing lion client to Snow leopard server

I'm running Lion on my client Mac and my Server is Snow leopard 10.6.8. I have to use Server Admin 10.7 on Lion but there is no "File Sharing" tab to set up or edit the file sharing options on my 10.6 server?. I understand this is correct for Lion Server, but how do I get round it for Snow leopard Server?? On the Apple website compatibility page (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1822) it states:
"Mac OS X Server v10.6
To administer a Mac OS X Server v10.6-based server, you can use the Server Admin Tools 10.6 on a Mac OS X v10.6 (client) computer. You should match the version numbers of the server, tools, and admin workstation as closely as possible; for example, use Server Admin Tools version 10.6.8 on Mac OS X v10.6.8 to administer Mac OS X Server v10.6.8. You may also use the Server Admin Tools 10.7 on an OS X Lion computer to administer Mac OS X Server v10.6."
So, How do I administer file sharing???

To configure File Sharing on a 10.6 server using 10.7 Server Admin, click the service (AFP, SMB, NFS, etc.) then click the Share Points tab.

"Server Admin Help" utility

I just unwrapped my new Mac Mini with Snow Leopard Server. I was looking for some info using the "Server Admin Help" but I cannot get it to work. The search doesn't work, it keeps showing the turning wheel, but nothing is coming up. The links don't work either.
I know it is very basic, but I am relatively new to Macs, please tell me how I can fix the help file?

So you've configured the Mac OS X Server environment, and gotten connected to the network and gotten DNS going?
If the IP network and the DNS used for the server aren't correct and functional, then Server Admin tends to be one of the first casualties.
Is the beachball on a Mac client running the Server Admin tools, or arising on the server?
If running Server Admin directly on the server, is the beachball specific to the Server Admin help, or are there beachballs arising in other tools, too?
It's also possible that there's a problem with this particular Mac Mini Server box configuration.

I am running Firefox 3.5.4. When I try to upgrade to a newer version I get "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections." Then, I have to re-install 3.5.4 to get to the internet. I have Windows XP. How do I fix this?

Any version of Firefox above 3.5.4 I try to install will not let me get to the internet. Each Firefox gets upgraded it keeps giving me the error message that "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections." Then I need to re-install 3.5.4 to get to the internet. This is driving me nuts! How do I fix this?

You're welcome

Can not connect using Server Admin - server running.

Hi there, can anyone help me?
I am running OSX Server Tiger on a Mac Pro G5. It has worked perfectly for several years.
Suddenly I cannot connect to the server using Server Admin either locally or remotely - the machine continues to function perfectly. The only problem is that I can not make any changes and I am nervous! I would prefer not to reformat and reinstall.
I did have some network problems a while ago which meant that I changed some IP numbers manually, and I installed and de-installed an ADSL modem.
I am hoping that deleting a library here or there will solve the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks, Drew

Last time this happened to me I deleted the server from Server Admin and re-added it

How to Connect to Server using Server Admin

I am trying to connect to Server using Server Admin so I can setup a wiki.
I enter my hostname, username and password and I get the error unable to connect to server, any ideas what is going wrong?
I can ping the server name and that works. Is there something else I have to do to get the server running
Thanks in advance

Any firewalls/routers "in the way"?
Is this over Internet?

Using Server Admin with Leopard 10.5 (not the server version)

I have recently downloaded the Server Admin and would like to use the xgrid function. I am running Leopard 10.5 (not the server version). Is it possible to set up a server functions to use just xgrid with Server Admin and the Leopard 10.5 non server version system software. I want to set up a really small computer cluster between my macbook and imac. My problem is that I cannot seem to get a server started so I can select which functions I want to turn on (such as the xgrid). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I tried several options from the link you suggested, by the xgrid lite seems to be for 10.4 Tiger. I have not been able to make it work for Leopard. Any suggestions?

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server. No idea how to do anymore. Already tried to figure out. But not work. Can anyone pls help me?

Nope, doesn't pass verification. I get the spinner for a minute or so, then the alert about setting it up without SSL. Are you suggesting I disable Fetch and Push BEFORE I enter the account details? Because I never get past the account details screen, unless I choose "Set up without SSL" after the warning.

Using ssh tunneling to admin OS X server on a far-away LAN

My Mac OS X Server 10.4 box is behind a gateway (dns, dhcp, nat, ipfw) box on a LAN. My workstation (the one I will be administering from) is on a different LAN. I don't want to open holes in my firewall, but I have an account on the firewall (I am the admin). I want to use ssh tunneling to administer the server. I have successfully done this with my old webstar box (which the OSX Server is replacing).
Is it as simple as adding a port designation when I "Add Server" to the Server Admin and Workgroup Server? example:
localhost:8331 or localhost:8625
(8331 is the local end of the tunnel which ends up as 331 to the OSX server, and same for 8625) The OSX server doesn't care because it see the connections from the ports that it expects. I'm just wondering about configuring the admin apps which are on a different LAN.

How do I bring up the file shares in a GUI
You don't. Not with Putty or an SSH connection. Just share a folder from the PC and access it via SMB from the Mac to access it.

Workgroup Manager and Server Admin 10.5 - Use to manage Tiger Server?

Is it possible to use Workgroup Manager and Server Admin 10.5 running on Leopard Client to administer Tiger Server?

I'm having major problems with server tools managing my 10.4.11 server. I'm finding that at least with the web management tools, I cannot make any changes to the 10.4 server Sites. To make matters worse, I cannot install 10.4 tools to get back that functionality.

Remote Server Admin not working from outside of network for 1 server

Our company recently changed ISPs and I had to change our two 10.4 server's IP addresses. We have a mail server (intel xserve) and a file/web server (quicksilver g4). Both servers have two network cards in them. The problem is two-fold:
1- I can successfully manage the Xserve machine locally on our network and from my home. However, I can only manage the Quicksilver g4 server locally. Any kind of external access is not even acknowledged.
2- I'm not sure if I missed any steps when changing IP addresses for these server-based computers. Also, I'm not sure if I correctly set our dns names to the correct IP address.
For some background, this is the exact IP update process I used for each server:
Quicksilver G4 (file/web server) - Installed network card #2 and configured it with the new Public IP in the "System Preferences/Network" panel. In Server Admin I set our website to use the new public IP address. (network card #2 has no firewall device in between it and the internet.)
Then, I configured the default network card #1 to a static, yet private IP address that's behind our DLink firewall device with the rest of our network.
Intel Xserve (e-mail server) - Network card #1 was the only one setup before our network change. It had a static, public IP address. When we changed ISPs, I configured network card #2 to the new static, public IP address supplied to us by the new ISP in the "System Preferences/Network" panel. This new IP address is where all email traffic currently gets pointed to. (All mail is successfully sent and delivered.) Until our former ISP gets shutdown, I still have network card #1 configured to the older static public IP address. After the old ISP is shut off, I plan on changing network card #1 to a static, private address.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

What should I check in AD? I am by no means an expert with AD.
Yes, I am using the same client OS.
I am talking about RDP over the internet, like from home to the office. We have a static IP assigned to the router from ISP. A static internal IP assigned to the server on the LAN. And the router port forwards 3389 to the assigned IP.
It was working fine before we reinstalled Server 2012. These are the steps I took when reinstalling:
1. format drive and install OS
2. rename the server
3. install SQL server
4. Install TFS and SharePoint
5. Add Active Directory role and promote to Domain Controller
6. Add domain users
7. Enable remote access on the server and add users to remote access list

Creating Open Directory Replica fails with Server Admin Error Value 1127

Hallo,
I have seen a lot of similar threads here and they were helpful up to a certain point, but in the end, they did not solve my problem.
Currently, it comes down to this. The Server Admin Error message ist really meaningless and I could not find a single for the error value on the whole wide web. As such, I switched to the command line versions of the tools involved to geht more meaningful results. It worked. Specifically, creating a replica of an openldap master means using slapconfig.
When executing
slapconfig -createreplica master.ourdomain.com diradmin
as root on the prospective replica machine, I get the following error message:
ssh command failed with status 127
That command is not allowed with the root account via public key authentication.
That makes perfect sense to me, but how is it meant to work then?
Executing slapconfig as admin tells me that this tool is to be executed as root. On the other hand, root login via ssh is not allowed in Mac OS X by default, which seems fine to me. I even changed /etc/sshd_config on the Open Directory Master machine to "PermitRootLogin yes". However, neither reloading ssh using launchctl nor restarting the whole server made this setting operational. Trying to login from command line as root still tells me:
root login is not permitted to this machine via public key authentication.
While this is the current state where I need help urgently, I changed some other things before. I tell about to exclude these issues as possible reason of failure. I got this message for quite a while:
Replica Setup failed : This machine does not have a valid computer name
I was sure, this machine meant the target machine, the open directory master, because the domain had changed there once before I had taken over responsibility as an admin in this environment. And in fact, changeip disguised an issue there. The command proposed by changeip to fix the situation did not seem appropriate because this machine is multihomed with a public and a private IP adress. Proper name resolution is available for both interfaces including reverse lookup. I dont like this setup, but it was the only way to get mail service running smoothly. Running changeip on the machine itself using these arguments
changeip /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 internalIP internalIP old.ours.com current.ours.com
reported success in updating password server, open directory, both interfaces, hostconfig (which in fact did not change) and samba. It reported an issue with kadmin which is related to Kerberos (we dont use Kerberos yet).
Changing the hostname of the server using changeip did not solve the issue. I then found the hint to check with scutil. This showed that the Hostname was not set on the prospective replica machine. (A question aside: in how many place is the hostname stored? The traditional /etc/hostname has gone, but seems to be replaces with several other configuration files and databases. I cant see this as an advantage). Setting the hostname using scutil worked fine. However, it did not solve the problem either. At least, slapconfig now started to complain about not being able to log in as root instead of failing from the start.
I also checked all log files on bboth machines that might have to do with openldap, as there are /var/log/slapd.log, /var/log/system.log and /Library/Log/slapconfig.log. I also checked the log of th layer on top of openldap which is /Library/Log/DirectoryService.server.log. None of them revealed anything noticeable beside a lot of of entries that I have googled in the last few hours and which all dont seem to be associated with the problem in question.
I will take a break now, but I have to fix this until tomorrow and I hope to get the ultimate hint from you, dear reader.
Thanks and bye, Christian Völker

ssh command failed with status 127
That command is not allowed with the root account via public key authentication.
Initial OD replication takes place via 'ssh'. If you have 'sshd' configured on the OD Master to authenticate with public keys then the OD replica will not be able to communicate with the OD Master via 'ssh'. You must configure the OD Master to use 'ssh' with password authentication and root login enabled.
Demote the replica back to standalone. Stop any services that you may have running on the primary network interface. Then stop any services that you may have running on the secondary network interface. In the 'Network' System Prefpane remove the IP number from the secondary interface then deactivate the secondary network interface.
Assign the private IP address and hostname that you wish to use for the replica to the primary network interface. Assign the 'public' IP number to the secondary interface. Check the DNS to see that the IP address and hostname for the primary network interface resolve both forward and reverse for the hostname of the replica that you have chosen. If it does not, fix your DNS before proceeding.
In the 'Sharing' System Prefpane, change the name of the machine to the hostname (server.domain.tld) of the replica that you have chosen. Then use 'changeip -checkhostname' to see if the IP/hostname matches. Fix it if it doesn't.
Then configure the /etc/sshd_config file on the OD master like this:
\# Authentication:
PermitRootLogin yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication no
and the /etc/ssh_config file on the OD replica like this:
PasswordAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication no
Then from the OD replica as the 'root' user issue:
slapconfig -createreplica <ODMasterIPorFQDN> <diradmin user>
Make sure that the 'diradmin' user's password contains only alpha-numeric characters -no 'option-characters' or symbols, change it first if it does. Once the process completes, reactivate the secondary interface for the 'public' IP and check the configuration of services that will be using that IP, then start your other services. Secure the 'ssh' service on both machines to disable password authentication and 'root' logins.
