Hello friends...
What is xgrid admin in mac osx server?
Xgrid is a grid or a compute cluster or distributed batch-processing engine. A grid allows an application programmer or system administrator to manage and coordinate a collection of computers and to distribute portions of a task across multiple computers.
Apple have [an Xgrid introduction|http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/technology/xgrid.html] available, and for details, have a look at the [Xgrid Administration and High Performance Computing|http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/XgridAdmin_and_HPCv10.5.pdf] document that is available among the Mac OS X Server manuals.
Here is the [high-level overview of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Server technologies|http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/technology>, which can connect you with answers to many questions.

What level of encryption does Mac OSX Server use? Is it HIPAA-compliant?
I'd like to setup a network in my private practice and need it to be HIPAA-compliant. It is needed for filesharing (primarily), but also for calendar/contact services, and VPN (remote access). Does anyone know the level of encryption? Also, would it suit my needs?
Can computers other than Macs utilize these services?
Do they need to be running a recent OS?There is no such identifiable thing as "HIPAA compliant encryption" AFAIK, there is only what is considered best-practices, and that's an entirely locally-mandated discussion, and it's a moving target particularly with encryption.
This usually involves a discussion with somebody that specializes in regulatory compliance — the consultant or auditor that Linc Davis mentions would be an example — and what's then selected and approved by your regulatory compliance and lawsuit-avoidance folks (involving your "security official", whoever that may be), and usually what's recommended by an external entity with sufficient insurance coverage that's been formally retained in the organizational "backside covering" or "risk shifting" role.
Here's a summary of the regulations, and here are (some of) the specific details of the requirements.
Not running a current version of OS X in this particular context does seem ill-advised, however. While Best Practices is inherently a moving target, older software versions will not likely be considered Best Practice. Older versions tend to have errors and older encryption implementations, and these can be fixed or updated or replaced in newer versions, after all.
I'd tend to assume that FileVault2 or equivalent will be minimal here (particularly for mobile devices and to reduce the risk of data exposure due to wholesale device theft), though the access auditing and related is going to be central to the discussion. You may well want and will probably need to encrypt specific data, but you're definitely going to need accountability and auditing and access control atop the encryption.
Linc Davis is correct. Engage a specialist here. -
Installing Mac OSX Server hangs at Network Configuration
Hi there!
I am installing my new Mac OSX Server (SNow Leopard) straight forward the assistant.
Asking for Language: OK
Asking for Country: OK
Keyboard Layout: OK
Entering License: OK
Configuring Network:
Ethernet: Static
Airport: OFF
FireWire: OFF
Clicking on Forward to continue: The assistant keeps telling me "configuring network". Nothing happens. It is doing that for hours now.
I tried to connect with Server Admin tool: OK works.
The network is up and running, but the assistant is not continuing.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help or suggestionSmells vaguely of a DNS error or IP routing or a network connectivity problem.
What did you specify for your network settings, and particularly what was entered for the DNS server address? If you're not running DNS on your local network here, then enter no DNS servers as part of the prompting, and let Mac OS X Server establish its own default single-host DNS.
(You're not going to be able to use your ISP DNS here; those ISP DNS servers are not valid when you are establishing a server on a network behind a NAT gateway.)
I'd probably wipe the disk and boot from DVD and reload. -
How do I re-install my Mac OSX Server from scratch
Hi,
I have purchased two MacMini Servers with 10.6 OSX Server software pre-installed.
I have changed the organization as our company name changed and run into license issues.
I want to re-install the Mac OSX Server software and start from scratch. How do I go about this. I tried yesterday for many hours to do so and the new installs are still running into duplicate license issues and other issues. What is the best approach to do re-install? I am willing to erase the internal Hard Disk and boot (with an external DVD optical drive) if that is the best way to go. What are the steps?
I have the original CDs or DVDs and have extra, external hard disks to do a Time Machine backup, etc.
Thanks,
DonIf you are looking to do a nuke and pave of the system, and you have an external optical drive, then yes, that is likely the most direct method. Connect the optical drive, insert the installation DVD, and reboot the system targeting the optical disk as the boot volume (you can do this by holding down the C key or the Option key during startup).
Now, if you do not have an optical drive, you can put the installation disk into another Mac running 10.6 and use the Remote Install Mac OS X application in your Utilities folder.
Hope this helps -

Not installing Mac OSX Server 10.5.4
Hello Friends...
I purchased Mac OSX Server 10.5.4 Leopard DVD.
I would like to install and configure it.
According to the manual , its not working.
It is getting upgrade to my Mac mini 10.5.7.
After installing , it wants to restart. But, its not booting and getting always restarted.
So, any advices and suggestions from your side.
Regards,
BhanuI'm going to point you to these two places to see if you can resolve your issues:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2019706&tstart=300
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3479
Basically what happens is if you insert the Server install DVD and start the installer package, if the DVD will boot your Mini it will show the 'Restart' button. If it can't, the installer will run and then you should follow the instructions in the second link.
Given the fact that many have tried and failed with the second method, I would attach the Mini, in target disk mode, to another Intel-based machine and run the install from there with the Mini as the target. Then boot the other machine from the Mini's disk and let the Setup Assistant finish -don't configure any services on the server in this mode other than setting it up as standard or advanced, apply any updates and then restart. Then shutdown both machines, detach the Mini, then let it boot on its own and continue configuration from there. I've done this several times with both PPC and Intel-based machines with positive results. -
Adding Bootp/DHCP Options to Mac OSX Server 10.4
Our telephone supplier - Splicecom (http://www.splicecom.com/) - has asked us to ensure that option 66 and option 67 are enabled in order for their PCS400 handset to pick up an IP address from our Mac OSX Server DHCP server.
Please can somebody advise on how to either:-
a) ensure that they are already enabled
or
b) tell me how to enable them
Many thanks
PaulI think you need some other DHCP server to acheive what you need
option #66 = Boot Server Host Name
option #67 = BootFile Name
(Try "man bootpd" in Terminal.)
The ISC DHCP server can be installed in OS X using PortAuthority / DarwinPorts:
"dhcp 3.0.3, Revision 1, net/dhcp (Variants: darwin_8)
http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP/
ISC's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Distribution reference implementation of all aspects of the DHCP protocol, through a suite of DHCP tools: A DHCP server, client, and relay agent. These tools all use a modular API which is designed to be sufficently general that can easily be made to work on POSIX- compliant operating systems and also non-POSIX systems like Windows NT and MacOS. The DHCP server, client and relay agent are provided both as reference implementations of the protocol and as working, fully-features sample implementations. Both the client and the server provide functionality that, while not strictly required by the protocol, is very useful in practice. The DHCP server also makes allowance for non-compliant clients which one might still like to support.
Platforms: darwin
Maintainers: [email protected]"
But you'll need to configure this DHCP using a texteditor. -
Configure MacMiniServer 2,53 GHz MAC OSX Server 10.6 via Windows 7 PC
Hi,
i have a problem. I bought the MacMiniServer 2,53 GHz MAC OSX Server 10.6 and I want to configure the MacMiniServer via a Windows 7 PC. But the Mac Mini Mac OS x Server Install DVD can not open with a Windows 7 PC. Is there a possibility to start the install DVD from a windows 7 PC. I have at this time only a Windows PC.
Thanks for your help.Hi
The MacMini Server having no optical drive has nothing to do with what you want to do. The server OS comes pre-installed.
All you have to do is follow Mr Hoffman's suggestions.
Any USB Keyboard and mouse will do. Your only problem as far as I can see is finding a suitable monitor and/or DVI adapter to connect it to. It may be worth your while purchasing a Mini Display Port to VGA adapter?

Can a NAS-raid5 be directly attched to a Macmini using Mac OSX server?
Please excuse this post if any of you feel this is the wrong area (it seems to be kind of foggy to where it does belong)....Just looking for a Solution....
I recently setup an Mac OSX server on my old Mac mini (for my home use) I was wondering if I could somehow setup my Buffalo Terastaion NAS to be controlled by (with perhaps the raid admin software). I don't mind id I have to re-format it. I notice in the raid controller software you can add a system....
Anyone done this before?
Thanks in advance,
RETI was wondering if I could somehow setup my Buffalo Terastaion NAS to be
controlled by
That should be possible via the NAS's Web Frontend (which I think it has) like one does it under Windows.
The RAID Admin software is only meant for the Apple XServe RAID to administer. -
Bridge CS6 Mac cannot browse Mac OSX server 10.8
Hello:
We had a drobo file server which was mounted on the desktop and had no issues browseing the volume in bridge. After we moved to a new Mac OSX server running 10.8 we can no longer browse the mounted server. We get a primission violation. Using the finder we're able to browse files and folders and create new files without this same type of issue.
Is there a preference that allows connection to a network volume via Bridge?
I hope I was clear on the discritpion of the problem.
Thanks,
RickTry a reset of preferences for Bridge using option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs.
There is also a plist file for Bridge in the user library preferences folder that can be manual deleted and will be refreshed after restarting Bridge.
And maybe run a check and repair permission with either Apple Disk utility or cocktail.
Unfortunately Bridge is not designed for use over a network nor official supported by Adobe when it comes networks. -

Script won't run on machine w/MAC OSX Server 10.4.9
Why won't the following script work on a machine that is running MAC OSX Server 10.4.9. On Machines running Mac OS X 10.4.9 it works fine, but on my server machine it won't name the file as per the script--the menu dialog box pops ("save as") up asking for a file name.??
The only difference between the machines as far as I can tell is the OS.
Thanks.

Mac OSX Server VPN Not Working
Heres how my setup is: I have an ATT DHCP Server/Router That assigns my public ip.
I have an Apple AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode Which hosts the main wifi connection.
I have my Mac OSX Server connected to the AirPort Extreme
On my ATT Router DHCP Server's Firewall I have my computer set to DMZ Plus mode which forwards all ports on the network to my mac.
I am trying to connect to the vpn network via my MacBook Pro and iPhone5 and I cannot. However I can connect to the online wiki page on my server by going to server.djswirkmke.com if you would like to see it. My host name is server.local on the network but on the internet it is server.djswirkmke.com I also have a mail domain setup as mail.djswirkmke.com. My problem is I am not able to connect to the vpn on the client computers can you please help?In a moment of random frustration, I tried listing the DNS server in VPN settings three times, and it somehow fixed the problem. Even though it is the same IP all three times, it works when it is listed three times but not when it is listed just once.
In other words, in VPN > Settings > Client Information > DNS Servers, I have:
192.168.100.64
192.168.100.64
192.168.100.64
Hope this helps someone having the same problem. -
