Win xp app in mini lion server

Hello,
We are thinking to change to a Mac Mini i5 Lion Server, i need to run my Accounting in Win XP, does it works fine with Win XP under Parallels?

In addition, Microsoft has not written any drivers for Intel I5 processors for either XP or Vista. So the only flavor of Windows you can run on the Mac is W7.

  • ICloud for pages app not working on network users having home folder on Mac Mini Lion server

    Does anyone know how to make iCloud for pages work on network users having home folder on server, having home folder on local Client iCloud for Pages works fine but when home folder is on Server iCloud for Pages app does not work. My Clients are Running Mountain Lion 10.8.2, my Server is a Mac Mini Lion Server.

    Hi Tim,
    No fix yet, my home folders reside on a thunderbolt external hard drive, I also tested having home folders on default server HD and no changes, I called Apple Support a while ago, they replicated the issue, it just does not work on network users, they did not say when will it be fix.
    The version of Pages I am using is from the Apple Store.

  • How do I connect a pc to mac mini lion server?

    Have recently purchased a mac mini lion server and have had no problem connecting macs in a small office. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to connect the 2 PC's in our office...
    I am not an IT person - doing this with complete ignorance!
    Any help much appreciated.
    PS. I have enabled SMB on server, but still can't see the server on PC networks

    Hi frustrated,
    (I know what you mean...)
    In any case, let me attempt to help you...
    First of all, on the Lion Server machine (let's say this machine is named MyLionServer), open the Server app, click on File Sharing, and add the mount point you want to share.  Let's call this mount point Drobo (just in case you have a Drobo attached to your Lion Server), but it could be any folder or disk attached to your Lion Server machine or on your local network.  Edit the mount point share (highlight Drobo and click on pencil icon), and add the users (click + button and add the usernames) you wish to access the Drobo share, and how they access it (read only, read/write, etc.).  Also make sure to check the "Share with Windows clients (SMB)" button.  Click done and wait for the Server app to restart all of the file sharing servers.
    Now for the Windows PC (I have just tested this myself on a PC running Windows XP Pro):
    Click the "start" buttom, click "My Network Places".  In the My Network Places panel, click on the "Add a network place" button.  This brings up the "Add Network Place Wizard", highlight the "Choose another network location" and click "Next>".  In the Internet or network address box, add the following: "\\MyLionServer\Drobo" (yes, I know the slashes are backwards from what you normally use in the MacOS - also, the name Windows wants may have only the first character capitalized, as in "\\Mylionserver\Drobo"), then click the "Next>" botton, then click the "Finish" button.  The first time you perform this for the first share on your Lion Server, a window opens and asks for a username and password.  Enter one of the usernames and passwords that you gave read/write access to in the File Sharing panel for the Drobo mount point on your Lion Server.  This brings up a \\Mylionserver\Drobo window on your PC that is mounted to your Lion Server's Drobo.
    Hope this helps,
    Switon
    P.S. As I said, I tried this out on my own PC as I was typing the instructions into this reply, and the above works for me.  But I did it on Windows XP Pro on a 6 year old PC laptop, and all machines and Windows OSes are different, so it will probably require you to do something slightly different from what I described above unless you just happen to be using Windows XP also.  Good luck.

  • LDAP and NFS mounts/setup OSX Lion iMac with Mac Mini Lion Server

    Hello all,
    I have a local account on my iMac (Lion), and I also have a Mac Mini (Lion Server) and I want to use LDAP and NFS to mount the /Users directory, but am having trouble.
    We have a comination of Linux (Ubuntu), Windows 7 and Macs on this network using LDAP and NFS, except the windows computers.
    We have created users in workgroup management on the server, and we have it working on a few Macs already, but I wasnt there to see that process. 
    Is there a way to keep my local account separate, and still have NFS access to /Users on the server and LDAP for authentification?
    Thanks,
    -Matt

    It would make a great server. Bonus over Apple TV for example is that you have access via both wired ethernet and wireless. Plus if you load tools from XBMC, Firecore and others you have a significant media server. Cost is right too.
    Many people are doing this - google mac mini media server or other for more info.
    Total downside to any windows based system - dealing with constant anti-virus, major security hassels, lack of true media integration and PITA to update, etc.
    You should be aware that Lion Server is not ready for prime time - it stil has significant issues if you are migrating from SNL 10.6.8. If you buy an apple fresh Lion Server mac mini you should have no problems.
    You'll probably be pleased.

  • Just bought a Mac Mini lion server how do i make a lion backup?

    Just bought a Mac Mini lion server how do i make a backup disk for lion?

    I believe you will need a USB drive and can download and  install something called Lion Recovery Disk Assistant from below. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1433
    Also read the article from below which I believe will encourage your desire to do the backup.

  • Aperture on Mac mini lion server

    Is anyone with problem reinstall aperture on Lion server? When I reinstall (not purchased through app store) aperture, after put in serial the installer just frozen (beach ball). I try many times and restart but doesn't help. And of course I have the Internet connection. Anyone have any idea?

    If you were an Elements user you would probably be more than happy with Pixelmator. It's available on the App Store. More info at: www.pixelmator.com

  • Can I install Snow leopard server on the new Mac Mini Lion server?

    Hi guys, I purchased a Lion Server and I am wondering if its possible to install Snow Leopard server on it.
    I have the Snow Leopard Server install discs and everything , just wondering if there is any thing I should take note of, I personally prefer SLS over Lion.
    What do you guys think?

    There's a huge thread on this (client, not server, but same concept) which you can find here.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3209335?tstart=30

  • Can I use Mac Mini Lion server and Time Machine 2Tb together?

    I have TM already and am looking to add a Mac Mini running O XS server soon. I use TM to back up my iMac and MacBook Pro laptop at present. My existing setup also includes a PC running windows which is backed up by an HP media smart server. I want to replace the PC with a Macmini running parallels and windows 7 to run my windows program's and want the TM to back this up also.  I would like the MM server to run my iTunes library to all Apple devices and need to access the files stored on the MM server from my iPad. Is this solution workable?

    The only differences between the current Mac Mini Server
    and the other Mini versions is that it has the quad core i7,
    comes with dual drives, and has the "Server app" installed.
    So, you could install Lion by itself as the server software
    is now a seperate "app" in Lion as opposed to being an
    integral part of the OS.
    BTW, what is the problem you are having?
    I am running a 2011 Mini Server as a desktop and simply
    just did not enable any of the server features when I first
    set up and have not had any issues using it as a desktop.

  • How to repartition mac mini lion server 10.7.5.

    Purchased Mac Mini Server OS X 10.6 in 2010.  Upgraded to OS X 10.7.5 Server Lion.  This was my first time purchasing any kind of server.  On setup I split the hard drive in half and didn't realize my mistake until the first half of the hard drive (about 500 GB) became full over the years.  The second half (about 500 GB) is empty.  I currenty have a time capsule making back ups. 
    How can I combine both halfs togther to tap into the unused 500 GB?

    Iwas able to fix this issue by going to the Audio Midi setup paneal and changing to 48K bit rate.Works fine now....

  • Mac Mini/Lion Server/Airport Extreme Won't Sleep...?

    I am at a loss with this one.  I have a Mid-2011 Mac Mini running OS X 10.7.4 Server (11E53) connected via gigabit ethernet to an Airport Extreme.  This computer will not sleep on its own using the system sleep timer.
    If anyone has any ideas that may help, I'm all ears!  The Mac Mini should sleep as intended and the Airport Extreme router should wake it if network resources are requested via a Magic Packet.  This same Airport Extreme does wake the other computers on the network just fine when they are configured to Wake on Lan (womp 1 in the pmset -g output, below).
    The server is configured to offer the following services: file sharing, Time Machine and screen sharing.
    The power saver settings on the Mac Mini are configured to sleep in 45 minutes, turn the screen off in 1 minute and wake for network access is enabled.  The output of pmset -g is below for reference:
    Active Profiles:
    AC Power                   -1*
    Currently in use:
    hibernatemode      0
    disksleep          10
    womp               1
    networkoversleep   0
    sleep              45
    powerbutton        1
    ttyskeepawake      1
    hibernatefile      /var/vm/sleepimage
    autorestart        1
    panicrestart       15
    displaysleep       1
    If the Mac Mini is manually placed in sleep mode, via the Apple Menu or the button on the Login Screen for example, then it will sleep just fine. While the Mac Mini is sleeping, it will wake properly when the shared resources are accessed via another Mac on the network. For example, if the Macbook Pro tries to begin a Time Machine backup using the Time Machine Server on the Mac Mini, it will wake just fine and the backup will complete with no issues. The Mac Mini will not sleep again using the system sleep timer and must be manually put into sleep mode.
    There is one printer (Canon MP560) installed on the Mac Mini, connected via USB, not shared on the network and no print jobs stuck in the print que.
    I tried using the PleaseSleep software but that causes problems when the Mac Mini is used via Screen Sharing.  When the Mac Mini is controlled remotely via Screen Sharing, PleaseSleep waits about a minute into the session and forces sleep mode, cutting the session short prematurely. This is unacceptable.
    Also, there are no assertions that would prevent system idle sleep using the system sleep timer, as seen in the pmset -g assertions output below:

    I Have the same issue with pleasesleep.
    No ARD Session without sleep ;-)
    My stup is a little bit different to yours.
    My MacMini act as an HTPC for Plex and it dosent sleep as well.
    I guess it has something to to with External USB HDDs or in your case printers or USB Hubs or etc. etc.
    I found a AppleScript called Nacrolepsy 2.0
    It dosent work probebly right now but I hope It could be a solution in the near future.

  • New Mac Mini Lion Server (mid 2011) and memory type

    Hi,
    I found an unclear advice about memory upgrade.
    The manuals says
    "Memory modules for your Mac mini must meet the following specifications:
    -Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (SO-DIMM) format
    -1333 MHz, PC3-10600E, DDR3 compliant (also called DDR3 1333)
    -Unbuffered and unregistered"
    I opened the box and found inside a Samsung chip labelled "... PC3-10600S-11-B2"
    Is the PC3-10600E type the same as PC3-10600S?

    Now resolved.......  No further comment

  • How To Install A (Almost) Working Lion Server With Profile Management/SSL/OD/Mail/iCal/Address Book/VNC/Web/etc.

    I recently installed a fresh version of Lion Server after attempting to fix a broken upgrade. With some help from others, I've managed to get all the new features working and have kept notes, having found that many or most of the necessary installation steps for both the OS and its services are almost entirely undocumented. When you get them working, they work great, but the entire process is very fragile, with simple setup steps causing breaks or even malicious behaviors. In case this is useful to others, here are my notes.
    Start with an erased, virgin, single guid partitioned drive. Not an upgrade. Not simply a repartitioned drive. Erased. Clean. Anything else can and probably will break the Lion Server install, as I discovered myself more than once. Before erasing my drive, I already had Lion and made a Lion install DVD from instructions widely available on the web. I suppose you could also boot into the Lion recovery partition and use disk utility to erase the OS X partition then install a new partition, but I cut a DVD. The bottom line is to erase any old OS partitions. And of course to have multiple, independent backups: I use both Time Machine with a modified StdExclusions.plist and Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Also, if you will be running your own personal cloud, you will want to know your domain name ahead of time, as this will be propagated everywhere throughout server, and changing anything related to SSL on Lion Server is a nightmare that I haven't figured out. If you don't yet have a domain name, go drop ten dollars at namecheap.com or wherever and reserve one before you start. Soemday someone will document how to change this stuff without breaking Lion Server, but we're not there yet. I'll assume the top-level domain name "domain.com" here.
    Given good backups, a Lion Install DVD (or Recovery Partition), and a domain name, here are the steps, apparently all of which must be more-or-less strictly followed in this order.
    DVD>Disk Utility>Erase Disk  [or Recovery Partition>Disk Utility>Erase Partition]
    DVD>Install Lion
    Reboot, hopefully Lion install kicks in
    Update, update, update Lion (NOT Lion Server yet) until no more updates
    System Preferences>Network>Static IP on the LAN (say 10.0.1.2) and Computer name ("server" is a good standbye)
    Terminal>$ sudo scutil --set HostName server.domain.com
    App Store>Install Lion Server and run through the Setup
    Download install Server Admin Tools, then update, update, update until no more updates
    Server Admin>DNS>Zones [IF THIS WASN'T AUTOMAGICALLY CREATED (mine wasn't): Add zone domain.com with Nameserver "server.domain.com." (that's a FQDN terminated with a period) and a Mail Exchanger (MX record) "server.domain.com." with priority 10. Add Record>Add Machine (A record) server.domain.com pointing to the server's static IP. You can add fancier DNS aliases and a simpler MX record below after you get through the crucial steps.]
    System Prefs>Network>Advanced>Set your DNS server to 127.0.0.1
    A few DNS set-up steps and these most important steps:
    A. Check that the Unix command "hostname" returns the correct hostname and you can see this hostname in Server.app>Hardware>Network
    B. Check that DNS works: the unix commands "host server.domain.com" and "host 10.0.1.2" (assuming that that's your static IP) should point to each other. Do not proceed until DNS works.
    C. Get Apple Push Notification Services CA via Server.app>Hardware>Settings><Click toggle, Edit... get a new cert ...>
    D. Server.app>Profile Manager>Configure... [Magic script should create OD Master, signed SSL cert]
    E. Server.app>Hardware>Settings>SSL Certificate> [Check to make sure it's set to the one just created]
    F. Using Server.app, turn on the web, then Server.app>Profile Manager> [Click on hyperlink to get to web page, e.g. server.domain.com/profilemanager] Upper RHS pull-down, install Trust Profile
    G. Keychain Access>System>Certificates [Find the automatically generated cert "Domain", the one that is a "Root certificate authority", Highlight and Export as .cer, email to all iOS devices, and click on the authority on the device. It should be entered as a trusted CA on all iOS devices. While you're at it, highlight and Export... as a .cer the certificate "IntermediateCA_SERVER.DOMAIN.COM_1", which is listed an an "Intermediate CA" -- you will use this to establish secure SSL connections with remote browsers hitting your server.]
    H. iOS on LAN: browse to server.domain.com/mydevices> [click on LHS Install trust cert, then RHS Enroll device.
    I. Test from web browser server.domain.com/mydevices: Lock Device to test
    J. ??? Profit
    12. Server Admin>DNS>Zones> Add convenient DNS alias records if necessary, e.g., mail.domain.com, smtp.domain.com, www.domain.com. If you want to refer to your box using the convenient shorthand "domain.com", you must enter the A record (NOT alias) "domain.com." FQDN pointing to the server's fixed IP. You can also enter the convenient short MX record "domain.com." with priority 11. This will all work on the LAN -- all these settings must be mirrored on the outside internet using the service from which you registered domain.com.
    You are now ready to begin turning on your services. Here are a few important details and gotchas setting up cloud services.
    Firewall
    Server Admin>Firewall>Services> Open up all ports needed by whichever services you want to run and set up your router (assuming that your server sits behind a router) to port forward these ports to your router's LAN IP. This is most a straightforward exercise in grepping for the correct ports on this page, but there are several jaw-droppingly undocumented omissions of crucial ports for Push Services and Device Enrollment. If you want to enroll your iOS devices, make sure port 1640 is open. If you want Push Notifications to work (you do), then ports 2195, 2196, 5218, and 5223 must be open. The Unix commands "lsof -i :5218" and "nmap -p 5218 server.domain.com" (nmap available from Macports after installing Xcode from the App Store) help show which ports are open.
    SSH
    Do this with strong security. Server.app to turn on remote logins (open port 22), but edit /etc/sshd_config to turn off root and password logins.
    PermitRootLogin no
    PasswordAuthentication no
    ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
    I'm note sure if toggling the Allow remote logins will load this config file or, run "sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist ; sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist" to restart the server's ssh daemon.
    Then use ssh-keygen on remote client to generate public/private keys that can be used to remotely login to the server.
    client$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C client_name
    [Securely copy ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub from client to server.]
    server$ cat id_rsa.pub > ~/.ssh/known_hosts
    I also like DenyHosts, which emails detected ssh attacks to [email protected]. It's amazing how many ssh attacks there are on any open port 22. Not really an added security feature if you've turned off password logins, but good to monitor. Here's a Lion Server diff for the config file /usr/share/denyhosts:
    $ diff denyhosts.cfg-dist denyhosts.cfg
    12c12
    < SECURE_LOG = /var/log/secure
    > #SECURE_LOG = /var/log/secure
    22a23

    < ADMIN_EMAIL =
    > ADMIN_EMAIL = [email protected]
    286c292
    < #SYSLOG_REPORT=YES
    > SYSLOG_REPORT=YES
    Network Accounts
    User Server.app to create your network accounts; do not use Workgroup Manager. If you use Workgroup Manager, as I did, then your accounts will not have email addresses specified and iCal Server WILL NOT COMPLETELY WORK. Well, at least collaboration through network accounts will be handled clunkily through email, not automatically as they should. If you create a network account using Workgroup Manager, then edit that account using Server.app to specify the email to which iCal invitations may be sent. Server.app doesn't say anything about this, but that's one thing that email address entry is used for. This still isn't quite solid on Lion Server, as my Open Directory logs on a freshly installed Lion Server are filled with errors that read:
    2011-12-12 15:05:52.425 EST - Module: SystemCache - Misconfiguration detected in hash 'Kerberos':
         User 'uname' (/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1) - ID 1031 - UUID 98B4DF30-09CF-42F1-6C31-9D55FE4A0812 - SID S-0-8-83-8930552043-0845248631-7065481045-9092
    Oh well.
    Email
    Email aliases are handled with the file /private/etc/postfix/aliases. Do something like this
    root:           myname
    admin:          myname
    sysadmin:       myname
    certadmin:      myname
    webmaster:      myname
    my_alternate:   myname
    Then run "sudo newaliases". If your ISP is Comcast or some other large provider, you probably must proxy your outgoing mail through their SMTP servers to avoid being blocked as a spammer (a lot of SMTP servers will block email from Comcast/whatever IP addresses that isn't sent by Comcast). Use Server.app>Mail to enter your account information. Even then, the Lion Server default setup may fail using this proxy. I had to do this with the file /private/etc/postfix/main.cf:
    cd /etc/postfix
    sudo cp ./main.cf ./main.cf.no_smtp_sasl_security_options
    sudo echo 'smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous' >> ./main.cf
    sudo serveradmin stop mail
    sudo serveradmin start mail
    Finally, make sure that you're running a blacklisting srevice yourself! Server Admin>Mail>Filter> Use spamhaus.org as a blacklister. Finally, set up mail to use strong Kerberos/MD5 settings under on Server Admin>Mail>Advanced. Turn off password and clear logins. The settings should be set to "Use" your SSL cert, NOT "Require". "Require" consistently breaks things for me.
    If you already installed the server's Trust Certificate as described above (and opened up the correct ports), email to your account should be pushed out to all clients.
    iCal Server
    Server.app>Calendar>Turn ON and Allow Email Invitations, Edit... . Whatever you do, do NOT enter your own email account information in this GUI. You must enter the account information for local user com.apple.calendarserver, and the password for this account, which is stored in the System keychain: Keychain Access>System> Item com.apple.servermgr_calendar. Double-click and Show Password, copy and paste into Server.app dialog. This is all described in depth here. If you enter your own account information here (DO NOT!), the iCal Server will delete all Emails in your Inbox just as soon as it reads them, exactly like it works for user com.apple.calendarserver. Believe me, you don't want to discover this "feature", which I expect will be more tightly controlled in some future update.
    Web
    The functionality of Server.app's Web management is pretty limited and awful, but a few changes to the file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf will give you a pretty capable and flexible web server, just one that you must manage by hand. Here's a diff for httpd.conf:
    $ diff httpd.conf.default httpd.conf

    I did "sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/mydomain" and add specific config files for various web pages to host. For example, here's a config file that will host the entire contents of an EyeTV DVR, all password controlled with htdigest ("htdigest ~uname/.htdigest EyeTV uname"). Browsing to https://server.domain.com/eyetv points to /Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV, in which there's an index.php script that can read and display the EyeTV archive at https://server.domain.com/eyetv_archive. If you want Apache username accounts with twiddles as in https://server.domain.com/~uname, specify "UserDir Sites" in the configuration file.
    Alias /eyetv /Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV
    <Directory "/Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV">
        AuthType Digest
        AuthName "EyeTV"

    I think you can turn Web off/on in Server.app to relaunch apached, or simply "sudo apachectl -D WEBSERVICE_ON -D MACOSXSERVER -k restart".
    Securely copy to all desired remote clients the file IntermediateCA_SERVER.DOMAIN.COM_1.cer, which you exported from System Keychain above. Add this certificate to your remote keychain and trust it, allowing secure connections between remote clients and your server. Also on remote clients: Firefox>Advanced>Encryption>View Certificates>Authorities>Import...> Import this certificate into your browser. Now there should be a secure connection to https://server.domain.com without any SSL warnings.
    One caveat is that there should be a nice way to establish secure SSL to https://domain.com and https://www.domain.com, but the automagically created SSL certificate only knows about server.domain.com. I attempted to follow this advice when I originally created the cert and add these additional domains (under "Subject Alternate Name Extension"), but the cert creation UI failed when I did this, so I just gave up. I hope that by the time these certs expire, someone posts some documentation on how to manage and change Lion Server SSL scripts AFTER the server has been promoted to an Open Directory Master. In the meantime, it would be much appreciated if anyone can post either how to add these additional domain names to the existing cert, or generate and/or sign a cert with a self-created Keychain Access root certificate authority. In my experience, any attempt to mess with the SSL certs automatically generated just breaks Lion Server.

    VNC easily works with iOS devices -- use a good passphrase. Edit /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.postgres.plist and set "listen_addresses=127.0.0.1" to allow PostgreSQL connections over localhost. I've also downloaded snort/base/swatch to build an intrusion detection system, and used Macports's squid+privoxy to build a privacy-enhanced ad-blocking proxy server.

    Privacy Enhancing Filtering Proxy and SSH Tunnel
    Lion Server comes with its own web proxy, but chaining Squid and Privoxy together provides a capable and effective web proxy that can block ads and malicious scripts, and conceal information used to track you around the web. I've posted a simple way to build and use a privacy enhancing web proxy here. While you're at it, configure your OS and browsers to block Adobe Flash cookies and block Flash access to your camera, microphone, and peer networks. Read this WSJ article series to understand how this impacts your privacy. If you configure it to allow use for anyone on your LAN, be sure to open up ports 3128, 8118, and 8123 on your firewall.
    If you've set up ssh and/or VPN as above, you can securely tunnel in to your proxy from anywhere. The syntax for ssh tunnels is a little obscure, so I wrote a little ssh tunnel script with a simpler flexible syntax. This script also allows secure tunnels to other services like VNC (port 5900). If you save this to a file ./ssht (and chmod a+x ./ssht), example syntax to establish an ssh tunnel through localhost:8080 (or, e.g., localhost:5901 for secure VNC Screen Sharing connects) looks like:
    $ ./ssht 8080:[email protected]:3128
    $ ./ssht 8080:alice@:
    $ ./ssht 8080:
    $ ./ssht 8018::8123
    $ ./ssht 5901::5900  [Use the address localhost:5901 for secure VNC connects using OS X's Screen Sharing or Chicken of the VNC (sudo port install cotvnc)]
    $ vi ./ssht
    #!/bin/sh
    # SSH tunnel to squid/whatever proxy: ssht [-p ssh_port] [localhost_port:][user_name@][ip_address][:remotehost][:remote_port]

  • How do I multi-home Lion Server

    My Mac-Mini Lion server is using both the wired and wireless connections.  I have two network connections available to  the internet.  However, one is significantly faster than the other.  I want to use the wireless connection for the internet, and the wired connection for local lan traffic.  I should mention that this server is on a combined Active Directory and Open Directory network.  This is the only Mac server and is set up in the Golden Triangle configuration.
    What I have done so far:  configured both interfaces with static addresses, pointing at the respective routers.  I should also point out that the slower connection to the internet goes through an authenticated proxy server, so unless that is configured, internet traffic will not work.  The faster internet connection (my wireless connection) does not have that restriction.
    I have already turned on the Software Update service for the Mac clients, made a group to update them, and bound the clients to both the Active Directory and Open Directory servers.
    The final thing I did was to reorder the network connections in the Network Preference panel, so the wireless connection was at the top of the list.  Until I did that, I could not browse the internet with Safari.
    So, have I missed anything which would prevent the Lion Server from downloading Software Updates for the network through the wireless connection, while allowing the client macs to get their updates through the server's wired connection.

    I had multiple IP's set on my server, which randomly seemed to switch. It seems like there is an incompatibility still between Server Admin and server.app. Since Apple is pressing developers to test server admin and server.app I am confident those problems will resolve eventually, but for now I have deleted all-but-1 IPv4 and 1 IPv6 address (same interface), the networking interface overview for my server within Server Admin was updated and it looks like it works solid now, this was not by design I presume, so this must be another bug plaguing Lion...
    After upgrading Postgres to 9.1.3 and upgrading webmail (upgrade: usr/share/webmail) from www.roundcube.net, making a new site webmail.example.com with the files stored in /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/CustomSitesDefault/webmail/ I made a symbolic link from that 'directory' to the actual built in webmail facility found in /usr/share/webmail by entering the following in terminal.
    ln -s -i /usr/share/webmail/ /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/CustomSitesDefault/webmail/
    By doing this it will ask to remove a directory, if you didn't put any important files in there, which I presume you didn't, confirm with the letter y and press enter.
    Webmail now works every time the way I want it
    As does profile manager.
