WGM vs Server Admin and Leopard server access

I am able to access my Leopard xserve through my firewall using Server Admin tool, but not when I try with WGM.Message is..."host unknown" ...."host unreachable." What is the difference? Not a problem with ARD either ....mmmmm. Can someone shed some light on the experience? Thanks, J Langloi

By filtering, (if I may), he meant restricting. IE: If you're going to do this, you absolutely need to have the Firewall restrict what external IPs are allowed access, rather than making those ports wide open to anyone and everyone.
But, it's pretty much industry-standard/ standard-practice to disallow connections across a company firewall to internal servers, except via VPN. (And by this I am excluding servers that are intended to be public-facing but are still appropriately firewalled).
In rare cases where VPN is not a readily-available option, it is possible to connect to both Server Admin and Workgroup Manager over ssh, but I don't suggest going that route without absolutely securing ssh in every possible way (has minor typos I wish I could fix but nothing that confuses the vital info): http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7082312

  • Cant Access Server Admin and Server Preferences anymore

    After upgrading to the latest Mac OS X 10.6.5 Version and/or changing Admin Password (I dont know the reason yet) I dont have access to my Server Admin and Server Preferences while I still can use my Workgroup Manager including Directory Admin (driadmin) and System Preferences. My Client Macs cant access Filesharing services and timemachine backup service anymore on the server, too. Other Services like MyEyeTV, Wuala, iTunes are working fine on the server and can be used by my Client MACs in my LAN.
    How could I proceed to fix this issue?
    What I have tried so far:
    I have tried to access my Server Admin thru the Client Mac mini using Server Admin App.
    I checked the OS Version: Mac OS X Server 10.6.5 (10H575)
    I checked the Server Admin Version: 10.6.5 (328.4)
    I also reinstalled the latest MAC OS X Server Update 10.6.5
    I still have root access. (Verified by DataQuest Engineer)
    Used also 127.0.0.1 Address to Access the Server.
    Is there a more elegant way to fix this issue than reinstall the server?

    ... well uninstalling "Hands Off!" Application solved the problem.
    Also if I assumed that i disabled this application, it was still active.

    2. My SOA server is coming up but in admin mode and giving OPSS connections errors.
    Any help is really appreciated!
    Thanks,
    SK

    Hi Faisal -
    is your domain in development mode or production mode?
         - While configuring my domian , I had selected Prod Mode, but pon start up when I see in admin server console, it is starting in developement mode already ?
    Any idea how, why ?
    if its production mode you can switch to development mode, change all the credentials in the config.xml and configurations under sub folders to cleartext and start the server..
    - Let me still try these and get back to you.
    Thanks,
    SK

  • 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?

  • Tiger Server Admin on Leopard

    Before moving to Leopard I need to be able to administer Tiger Server.
    However trying to install Server Admin Tools on Leopard tells me "you are not allowed to install the software on this disk for an unknown reason"
    Can I run Tiger Server Admin from Leopard and how do I do the install ?
    Kind Regards
    Eric

    You must install the Leopard Server Admin Tools on Leopard. You can use them to manage a Tiger system.
    Page 157 of this document says:
    You can use the version of Server Admin included with Mac OS X Server v10.5 to
    administer Mac OS X Server v10.4.11 or later. Workgroup Manager on a v10.5 server can
    be used to manage Mac OS X clients running Mac OS X v10.3 or later.

  • Exporting server admin and service preferences for backup

    I have never used this feature and would like to know if there is any problem using these exported files to reinstall the server admin and service preferences?
    .............Thanks in advance for any thoughts....Ray

    AFAIK, yes.
    Best answer: try it yourself.
    Testing your own full recovery path is a Good Thing.
    I tend to use the export and import knobs when I'm going to go mess with stuff in a test configuration, and I want a path back and a way to restore the previous settings. (Though because the services can be reconfigured and modify files elsewhere on the disk and entirely dependent on what I'm testing in SA, this isn't necessarily a good global solution. Which gets back to recovery testing. And occasional full disk backups with Disk Utility or analogous.)

  • Mailman, Server Admin, and mailmanctl launchd item

    I upgraded my Mailman to 2.1.12 today, and I had some of the usual problems, some not so usual. I'm used to seeing that mailing lists are stopped in Server Admin, but I would like to be able to see mailman logs in Server admin, and I would prefer not to have to create my own launchd item to execute the mailmanctl command. Logs are an old problem, but the mailmanctl launchd problem is new. Are there fixes for these two problems? I configured with
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/share/mailman --with-var-prefix=/var/mailman --without-permcheck
    Thanks.

    I tried it, thanks. Mailman didn't like the config, though. It warned me about using group id "_postfix" and wouldn't distribute until I had reconfigured using --with-mail-gid=_mailman instead of --with-mail-gid=_postfix. Plus I still don't get any connectivity out of Server Admin. I had already edited the launchd file for use with my earlier replacement, so I guess I'll go back to that. It works, I just wanted fewer Server Admin orphans. I have to toss things anytime there's a system update, anyway. Thanks again.

  • Can connect with Server Admin and Server Prefs, not Screen Sharing or ARD

    Just set up 10.5 server on my G5, and trying to connect from 10.5 on my iMac. I have tried both with the server System Preferences set to allow Screen Sharing via VNC, and with Remote Management enabled for ARD. In both cases, I get authentication errors when trying to connect from home. I have tried with both the full username, and with the short name of the only account on the server. My assumption is that, since this is the administrator account, I don't need to setup explicit privs for it on the server.
    I can authenticate without any trouble with both Server Admin and Server Preferences.
    The Firewall is not enabled on either machine, although I am behind a NAT router at home -- is it necessary to open any special ports to enable screen sharing? Is it possible that having these ports closed would produce an authentication error?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi
    I'm going to assume you configured your Server in Standard Configuration and not Workgroup or Advanced?
    When using Standard in setting up the server DNS is automatically configured for as well as the Server taking an Open Directory Master Role. The admin account created at the beginning is for administering the Open Directory. Unknown to you and not documented at all - as far as I can see - is the 'Local Administrator' (localadmin) account.
    You only become aware of this account if for some reason you have a problem with the Server which involves demoting to Standalone (ie not an Open Directory Master) once this happens you find you can't log on to the Server anymore or communicate with any of the Server applications because it won't accept any username or password other than root and localadmin for the name and the password defined for the original admin account you created right at the beginning.
    Sometimes it does not even take demotion to find yourself locked out of the Server. Some have experienced this problem when running the Security Update or when some other problem has occured.
    Part of the process of creating an Open Directory Master involves the creation of a 'special' directory administrator account. This account is used for administering the LDAP node. If demotion takes place this account gets blown away along with all users and group accounts that exist in the LDAP node, in fact everything to do with Open Directory is destroyed apart from Users' home folders.
    Why demote if this happens? Sometimes the LDAP database gets damaged/corrupted beyond a point where normal troubleshooting methods fail. This can happen for a whole variety of reasons but more often than not is due to a poorly configured DNS Service. You basically only have two options once you reach that stage. A server reinstall involving a format and rebuild or a demotion to Standalone. Which option would you choose? Prior to demotion you can (if you have the chance) export users and groups or even archive the LDAP database itself for restoration later on. This is a useful option as everything to do with the LDAP Server is retained - passwords, users, groups etc. The other method of saving users etc does not retain passwords.
    As time goes on and you become more familiar with your server you will find more and more of this information out for yourself. Hopefully the simple advice I've given helps you understand Open Directory a little better.
    Hope this helps, Tony

  • Importing a pkg with rely on server storage and roles for access control

    Hi we run std 2008 r2.  I'm reading documentation on prot levels during pkg import to catalog at
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141747(v=sql.105).aspx but unfortunately the definition of prot level "rely on server storage and roles for access control"
    isn't clear.  They used the prot level name to define it which didn't help me.
    This option looks appealing but it isn't clear why I need to enter a pswd when choosing this option.  Will my peers need to know that pswd when they export?  Will the sql agent job need to present that pswd when running?  If I just keep current
    prot level "encrypt with user" will the agent job be able to run it?  I'm sure it (agent) isn't running with my creds now.  Also, how can I tell what prot level it was deployed with last?  I rt clicked on the pkg in the catalog
    and don't see anything obvious about that.  I already understand that on export prot level is changed to encrypt with user. 
    I'm going to look at the sql agen job right now to see what creds it runs with.

    First thing to understand is that protection level is used for determining how package (dtsx) file have to be protected. Once package is deployed in server and executed from agent, the conventional way is to use method of configurations or parameters if
    2012 to get required connection etc values and execute using it. It never uses the values that were set during the design time. So it doesnt matter what protection level was so far as its based on config
    However if you're planning to export existing package to your system and do modification thats where protection level comes to play. If its set to any of ENcryptSensitive... type value then you'll to provide the value (either a passowrd or your userkey which
    it takes automatically from login info) to see the sensitive info (connection info,passwords etc) The package will still open and so far as you manually type in missing values you will be able to execute the package. If protection level is set to one of ENcrptAll
    then you will have no way to open package itself unless you provide password/ have correct userkey.
    The rely on server storage option uses sql server security context itself ie it doesnt do any encryption within package by itself but will assume values based on sqlserver security. This is used when you store package itself in SQLServer itself (MSDB)

  • Vanishing files Vectorworks 12 and Leopard Server 10.5.6

    We have a Server installed with Leopard Server version 10.5.6 We are using Vectorworks 12.0.1 (CAD programme). When a user connected to the server working on a drawing goes to save the drawing it saves then displays an error message saying it cannot save. When you go to the directory where the file used to live it has vanished.
    This problem does not happen all the time just when the machine feels like it.

    The first thing you might want to try is patching VectorWorks to the last version of 12, which was 12.5.3. Since version 12 came out before Leopard, I know that Nemetschek had a number of problems that had to be patched. We had already upgraded to VW2008, so we didn't have to deal with any of that.

  • Lion server or Snow Leopard Server?

    From a quick check of postings here, my question of whether to use Lion Server or Snow Leopard server on a Mac Mini for a small office, looks to be "stay away from Lion server" Snow Leopard server just works and is easier to support.
    Most of these posts are from 2011, has anything changed where someone can say Lion is now a much better server choice now than considering Snow Leopard Server?
    It seems that most posters feel Lion server is a real step backwards, is this the case?
    Thanks in advance - Lewis

    Which services have been removed or depreicated?
    You have to bear in mind that 'removed' or 'deprecated' only really means 'no longer bundled and supported by Apple'. Just because Mac OS X Lion Server doesn't ship with a foobar server that doesn't mean you can't download and install your own foobar server. It just won't be integrated into the Server Admin apps.
    For example, Lion Server no longer ships MySQL Server. So download and install your own copy. It's not like the GUI apps gave you any control over the MySQL anyway, other than starting it up and controlling the network ports.
    Likewise for print server. Some of the advanced print features such as quotas have been removed from the GUI, but you can implement them yourself.
    Likewise with QuickTime Streaming Server, where the functionality is little more than a web service.
    What features that have been enhanced?
    Lion Server has simplified the setup of a server for small workgroups with simple requirements. If that's you then the whole experience may be enhanced since you're not swamped with a slew of options that you don't understand, or need.
    I think a lot of people were also stymied by Snow Leopard Server because they expected the GUI apps to cover all the options, which was never the case.
    So my original point stands. There is pretty much nothing you cannot do in Lion Server than you could do in Snow Leopard Server, it's just that it might not be supported by the GUI. Most serious server admins eschew Server Admin.app anyway since even Snow Leopard Server's admin app doesn't cover all the capabilities of some of the services, so you end up driving it via the command line anyway.

  • 10.4 X-Serve + OS X Leopard + Server Monitor = Unexpected Quit

    Anyone know why the Server Monitor crashes when running on Leopard?
    The old version (that came with Server Admin Tools 10.4) didn't work, so I installed Server Admin Tools 10.5, and it still doesn't work.
    The "Server Admin" and everything works, but the Server Admin (that interfaces with X-Serve's LOM) doesn't work... Well, I say it works... I mean, it'll open, but won't connect to the server (too old.. lol)... But the Server Monitor crashes no matter what.
    I've tried erasing the preferences and whatnot.. no difference.
    Any help getting the Server Monitor up and running would be greatly appreciated.

    I noticed this in the console:
    11/6/07 1:22:39 PM [0x0-0x238238].com.apple.servermonitor[9214] dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PlatformHardwareManagement.framework/Versions /A/PlatformHardwareManagement
    So I hopped over to my server and grabbed the contents of /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PlatformHardwareManagement.framework/Versions /A/ and put them in my client machine. This allows Server Monitor to run... now if only I could connect to it :-/

  • Server Admin reports LDAP Server is Stopped

    Hi,
    My 10.5 server has stopped processing OD stuff.

    I looked in server admin and it says:

    Any ideas anyone?

    Hi
    Assuming this is a classic 'AD-OD' Integration and all OSX Server is being used for is mac-style GPOs or MCX then you should be back to normal - hopefully - in 5 minutes or so.
    Export any OD Groups and/or Computer Lists you have, this will retain the Group Memberships as well as MCX applied at that level. Disconnect the Server from the Active Directory - unbind in other words - and finally demote the Server to Standalone. Server Admin > Open Directory > Settings > Role. Once demoted rebind to AD, verify WorkGroup Manager is accessing/reading the AD LDAP node and finally promote to Open Directory Master. Server Admin > Open Directory > Role > change from "Connected to a Directory System" to "Stay connected and promote to Open Directory Master". Fill in the appropriate details for the diradmin account, leave everything else at their defaults and you should be functional again in 30 seconds or so. Verify in the Overview tab that all Services are running apart from Kerberos. In an AD-OD Integrated environment you don't want Kerberos running on the OD Master.
    Finally launch WorkGroup Manager, navigate to the LDAPv3 node and import your saved Group and/or Computer Lists.
    You could have also archived the LDAP Database and restored it. But seeing as you don't have any real users (apart from diradmin) there's not much point IMO.

  • Where to get Mac OS X Server 10.5 (Leopard Server)?

    Hi All,
    My colleague is an ADC Member (paid a couple hundred dollars for this). He was able to download Mac OS X Server 10.6 (Snow Leopard) for FREE. He tried to search for a link to download Mac OS X Server 10.5 (Leopard Server) but could not find anything.
    As an ADC Member, is there any way to request a link to download Leopard Server for FREE?
    We need Leopard Server for development purposes.
    Thank your very much.

    Hi
    http://developer.apple.com/contact/
    and ask the question. I somehow doubt it but you never know? I think it's still possible to purchase Leopard Server through Service Support rather than Sales? Otherwise you're probably looking at buying it from the Web:

    Is one place I quickly googled.

  • How to switch between SQL Server Express and SQL Server Evaluation

    I have both SQL Server Express and SQL Server Evaluation installed on my laptop. 
    I am wondering how to start SQL Server Evaluation; when I click All Programs > SQL Server Management Studio, I always get SQL Server Express (which I installed on my laptop a couple years ago). 
    I just downloaded SQL Server Evaluation (a couple days ago). 
    Whenever I try to access SQL Server Evaluation, I always seem to get SQL Server Express. 
    Sorry if this is a trivial thing; I just can’t seem to get it to work (and I Googled for a solution before posting this).
    Thanks everyone!!

    Ah!  It worked!!  This is great!!  It seems like I can connect to my version of SQL Server Evaluation, named 'EXCEL-PC\EXCEL'.
    Somehow, though, I seem to keep getting errors in my BIDS when I try to run an SSIS project.  See below:
    Ah!  It worked!!  This is great!!  It seems like I can connect to my version of SQL Server Evaluation, named 'EXCEL-PC\EXCEL'.
    I am getting an error that VS is unable to load a document:
    BIDS has to be installed by one of these editions of SQL Server 2008: Standard, Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation. 
    To install BIDS, run SQL Server Setup and select Business Intelligence Development Studio.
    #1)  I recently downloaded and installed SQL Server Evaluation (specifically for the opportunity to try using BIDS and learn about this technology).
    #2)  When I run BIDS > SSIS, I get the error I described above. 
    #3)  I have had SQL Server Express installed for a couple years on my laptop
    So, my question is this: is it possible that BIDS > SSIS is picking up my SQL Server Express, instead of SQL Server Evaluation? 
    If so, how can I get BIDS to point to SQL Server Evaluation? 
    You can see in the image above that I have my BIDS Data Connections pointing to EXCEL-PC\EXCEL, which is the name of my SQL Server Evaluation. 
    Is this correct?  Why doesn’t this work? 
    I’ve spent some considerable time on this.  I’m close to just uninstalling EVERYTHING pertaining to SLQ Server, and just reinstalling SQL Server Evaluation, but this will take some time, and I don’t necessarily want
    to get rid of my SQL Server Express.  However, if that’s the only way to get this working, then that’s what I’ll do.
    I’d greatly appreciate any insight into this!!
