Win2000 Server and Tiger Compatibility

We're a commercial printer and just bought 2 new G5's with OS 10.4.3. Our server is Win2000, SP4. We also have some Mac's with OS9. We are connected to server via TCP/IP.
When copying customers files from OS9 to server, the type 1 font size is zero K when viewed on the G5. Fonts look ok when viewed from OS9. When copied from OSX fonts look ok but OS9 views size as zero K.
Do we need third party software such as XtremeZ-IP or is there something we can do to address this problem?
Thanks, Bob

Hi Bob!
Are your Mac OS X machines connecting via SMB rather than AFP? A file size of 0k would indicate you're looking at the resource fork rather than the data fork (where the bulk of the file's data resides).
ExtremeZ-IP isn't necessary, but for a commercial printer I'd recommend it to take advantage of 10.4.x's AFP 3.2 features such as long file names (up to about 255 characters) and Windows' full set of permissions (not just owner, group and everyone but also the extended permissions).
Keep in mind that to maintain compatibility with your Mac OS 9 systems, you need to keep file names short and permissions simple.
Hope this helps! bill

  • Win2000 Server and OS 10.4.11 connection issues

    We have 2 Macs running on a WIN2000 Server we have had no issues up until lately. We connect to a drive on the WIN2000 server and normally it will stay connected all day with no interruptions. Now we both are experiencing at least 2-3 times a day the drive is just disconnected and dropped off our desktop, no dialog box stating this, nothing. We don't even realize it's missing until we try and open something from the drive. We don't even get an error message when we try and save documents to the drive. So please help us. Is it the WIN2000 server or is it our MAC OS X we were wondering if it was the latest security update we have done?

    Hi tsmonson-
    If this is a fairly recent problem, and you did nothing to cause it and cannot find a logical explanation otherwise, all things point towards a possible server problem.
    Have you had the folks that maintain the server take a look at it?

  • newbie Possibility to run X Server and Tiger both

    Hi there I have a question about the following:
    I want to install Oracle on my iBook G4 but unfortunaltely there seems only a possibilty for this by installing X server. Currently I have tiger and it is working just fine I do not need to have x server as main operating system because tiger is sufficient to me. My question is if there is any possibility that you can install X server and tiger both and choose which one to use when starting up. If so how do I have to do this and is it wise to do it or not?
    If it it not possible does anyone know if there is a possibility to install Oracle on my G4? I have a wireless home network with only one Mac (iBook G4) and that’s it .
    Well thank you in advance.

    It all depends on the size of your data on the Mac os X client setup .. tiger server can sure cohabit with mac os x client ... but first you will need to backup everything on an external drive using Carbon Copy Cloner boot off your external hard drive , split your partition on the internal hard drive then back your macos x client down to your hard drive then install mac os x server on the secondary partition of your internal hard drive ...
    Hoping this helps
    PS: you can install mac os x server over a mac os X client installation but make SURE you backup your original installation and are ready to face a few updates. If possible try to get your hands on a copy of mac os x server 10.4.8 Universal.

  • ADVC-300 and Tiger compatability

    I recently upgraded my G4 desktop to Tiger 10.4.2 and can no longer recognize my ADVC-300. It appears to be a firewire issue. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Hello IVUS:

  • Mounting remote AFP volumes on Panther Server from Tiger client.

    Has anyone else had this problem....
    When connecting to a remote AFP share hosted on a Mac OS X 10.3.9 server I receive a message "Mount Failed, Could not mount volume “sharename.”. This happens when I enter the FQDN followed by the share name, for example "afp://servername.domain.co.uk/sharepoint". The client is part of an Open Directory domain and automounts work fine during boot as the home directory sharepoint works with local and remote homes. I have setup many 10.3.9 servers and have never encountered this issue on a Panther client.
    Any help would be much appreciated and its driving me to distraction!
    Regards
    James.

    We are not using the server for users' home directories, but thanks for that tip.
    Today we have also started having issues at another site with a 10.3.8 server and Tiger clients. The behavior is a little different: when connecting to the Pather server with Tiger clients using a keychain-saved password, the client machine will freeze and must be rebooted. The server is showing no process crashes. Deleting the keychain and entering the password each time fixes the problem.
    At the other site, the server is 10.3.9 and when Tiger clients tried to connect using a keychain password, their machine would get a spinning beach ball, but they could get out of it.

  • Why can't I use WebCT chat with my computer?  I get the 'spiral of death' every time I try to type in my chat.  I have a feeling it has to do with compatibility issues between Java and Tiger.

  • My office uses windows based computers setup with a server setup. Can an apple server emulate or find compatibility with an apple server or apple computer linked to the server and allow full file sharing and printer sharing with pc's?

    HI,
    grey-haired IT guy here, old enough to come from the counter culture. I ran (COO, including IT & compliance) a third billion dollar financial institution all on Macs 15 to 20 years ago.  All the "experts" had a long list of reasons it would be impossible, and it drove the examiners nuts, but it's only gotten better.
    So your benefits are going to be mostly in ease of administration after the learning curve, less aggravating glitches, better overall reliability, and arguably better security.  And reductions in cost and improvement in time to implement changes.
    In my current environment of mostly dozens of PCs, the moment I let the OS X Server be the domain master controller, the Windows network browser settled down and instantly showed network neighborhoods like it should have.  (We may have some forgotten pre-NT machines plugged in somewhere -- this is NOT a financial institution).
    Couple anecdotes might explain the feeling of coming in out of the cold:  Putting a test copy of a web site from the cloud onto the Mac server, XAMPP or MAMP is pretty much already there. The site has a couple WordPress blogs, and they need .htaccess files, and Apache needs an option set to permit remapping URLs. After much searching far and wide to find why it didn't seem to be working, I found the checkbox right there on Apple's management screens.  Much easier than editing .conf from command line.  Linux web admins hate it.
    Tale # 2:  We aren't fully Windows domain controlled -- just using the old network browser.  Need to upgrade that, and I Googled quite a while trying to understand what needed to be done to use Apple's Open Directory instead of setting up an Active Directory on Windows -- both SLDAP3.  Turns out one reason I couldn't find much is there isn't much to say:  it just works.  Just join the domain from a Windows machine.
    One more and I'll be quiet a bit.  We use the Wiki collaboration which is nice enough as far as it goes (no spreadsheets, fatal flaw) and it occupies the server's native web site slot.  So the test copy needed to be another site.  Easy enough -- site setup is all GUI and works fine, but WordPress could not handle a multiuser blog coming to a non-standard port (other than 80) so I needed a second IP multihomed on the server.  How do you do this?  Go to Network in the System Prefs, click on the Ethernet interface and select "duplicate".  Set your IP address.  Done.
    In summary a Mac OS X Server is a better server for a Windows shop than Windows Server 200x.
    My bottom line for choosing Apple:  lower blood pressure.  I SHOULD be money.  After all is said and done, it's about money.  The incredibly more pleasant experience is a free benefit.  You'll pay more for better hardware, but way less in time and trouble.  And you won't be hounded on a daily basis to update the system.  Not that Adobe or Firefox are any better about it on a Mac, but the Apple approach to updates stays in the background.
    Think different.  Simplify.  Focus.  Enjoy your work.

  • Running both Tomcat and JSWDK server on same win2000 server m/c

    Hi all,
    I was running Tomcat4.0.4 on my m/c which operates on WIN2000 server. Afterwards I installed the JSWDK 1.0.1 on the same m/c. I worked with it for sometime. But when I went back to starting up the tomcat again, it would not startup. The dos window comes up and vanishes within a few milliseconds. I deleted the entire JSWDK folder. Removed JSDK and Tomcat directories and re-installed everyhing other than the JSWDK, but problem persists.
    Can anybody please help out ??
    Thanks,
    vishnupriyaa

    Hi all,
    Thanks for taking the time out to answer the query. Paul's reply helped me most though Balava had also indicated the same thing ... I could see from the log file that the Catalina environment was not set properly. Earlier I had it set equal to the TOMCAT_HOME variable path which was 'I:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4\bin'. I now removed the '\bin' from the path and lo! tomcat was running again on the port assigned to it!!
    Thanks everybody ... I am awarding the duke points to Paul

  • Tiger Server and Snow Leopard Server

    I have 2 servers. 1 is an old tiger server and the other a snow leopard. When I try to connect to either in the workgroup app. I am getting and error 14105 line 2334 error and the app unexpectedly quits. I want to be able to have a share point on the old server without users having to log in again. I would assume you could use LDAP for users but I am relatively new the MAC OSX servers. Thanks

    No progress yet. Have tried a lot of things with preferences on the server. I have confirmed with another snow leopard machine that this is not related to the machine in any way. I have not yet had a chance to test it on another Tiger server but given the fact that you are seeing it as well I would say there is a problem with the two operating systems cooperating.
    As I said, I do have a temporary workaround. If you do a save as with the document, choose to overrite the original it works and then lets you continue to work on that file and save for that session. After you close the file and reopen the problem returns but at least for that session you are fine.

  • IFS Server and Weblogic Server compatibility.

    We are planning to host IFS Server on one Machine and Weblogic Server on another machine. Can we access IFS Server from Weblogic Server, which resides in another machine?
    Presently we have installed Oracle IFS along with apache and we are comfortable running our programs developed using the IFS Java API, JSP and Java Beans.
    Please let us know whether it is possible for the same, where Oracle IFS is installed in another machine and Weblogic is installed in another machine.

    It's not advisable, the general advice is to try to keep the SharePoint servers as clean as possible for both stability and security.
    Having said that it is possible to install the Office suite on a SharPoint server and there are no massive gotchas i'm aware of. It is also worth noting that MS do not support automated (unattended) use of office applications.

    Hi Bryan,
    The error disappeared after the catalog was fully downloaded. In my observation it seems that the SUS is only functional when all the downloads have been completed in the first run. It should at lease give a more conclusive error lie "Unable to load data as the catalog is being built".

  • How to set up a FTP and web server and integrate with DMM 5.2

    Hi All ...
    I need to set up a external server only for content publishing to reduce the overhead of the DMM server .
    can anyone guide me on how to set up the external server and intergrate it with the DMM 5.2
    Thanks

    semuthu,
    Notes from the Release Notes:
    Compatibility Limitations with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)
    DMPs that use firmware release 5.2 are compatible with only one version of Microsoft Internet Information Server.
    That supported version is IIS 6.0 for Windows 2003 Enterprise. If you do not have the supported IIS version but
    want your DMPs to retrieve assets from a webserver, we recommend that you use Apache instead of IIS.
    I would suggest using Apache instead of IIS for the webserver service. IIS can be used as FTP if needed.
    There are plenty of Documents on the Web about setting up Apache and FTP for servers.

  • How can I get the Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver installed on Win7 LC master?

    We recently migrated from a Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 print server. When recomposing a linked clone pool with the old 2003 server, drivers were taken care of for the printer when the user printed for the first time after desktop recompose. With 2012, any printer using the Point and Print driver doesn't seem to obtain the driver again from the 2012 server. All of our clients are running Windows 7 which means the Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver is not installed in the OS natively.
    I apparently need to figure out a way to get this installed on the host image so it trickles down to snapshots when recomposing the linked clone pool but I haven't been able to dig much information on doing this. Does anyone out there have any insight on how to accomplish this? If I recompose a pool now for a user who is using a new Point and Print driver, they get the following message that is resolved by removing the printer from their account and re-adding it:
    "The 'Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
    I figured the easy solution would be to just install a printer using the Point and Print driver and then remove it...leaving the driver behind (unless it cleaned up after itself). The problem with this is in my testing, even after removing and re-adding a printer that set off installation of this Point and Print driver on the client, any other printer that was using it still required the remove/re-add process in order to work, else I got the same message. That tells me that the driver may be custom for each printer installed?
    Color me a little confused. I do NOT like the way that Server 2012 handles printers. I've come across a few other issues as well (such as duplex capabilities not being remember on the print server for a printer) that I never had with the 2003 server.
    Thanks!!

    I was able to get it to work using your instructions off of here and your other thread
    Thank you!

  • ICal bug subscribing/publishing between Leopard and Tiger?

    It seems there is a strange incompatibility between iCal 2.0.5 (Tiger) and iCal 3.0 (Leopard).
    I work for a company where 10 employees share their calendars through a private server.
    Everyone publishes his/her calendar and is subscribed to all the other calendars within the company. So effectively, everyone sees his own calendar in iCal as read/write and all the other calendars as read- only.
    Last week 3 machines were upgraded to Leopard and since then trouble started.
    Now, when someone on a Leopard machine creates an event and invites someone who is on a Tiger machine, the Tiger machine can accept the invitation but as soon as it is accepted the event disappears from the Tiger calendar.
    As soon as the subscription to the Leopard calendar is removed, the event reappears on the Tiger calendar.
    The results are the same when a Tiger user invites a Leopard user on the Tiger machine.
    I tried this both with a private server and dotMac.
    Does anyone have the same experience and perhaps a solution to it?
    Right now the only solution I see is to upgrade all the machines to Leopard.

    Although I don't have a solution, I share your pain. I had less problems with iCal even before upgrading to Leopard.
    What I can find across forums discussing bugs in iCal for Leopard is that, for the moment, there are a lot of small annoyances regarding alarms, compatibilities and inability to edit items without causing it to crash, amongst other topics.
    The frustration level is growing as no sign of help seems to be come from Cupertino until now, the best help is on the forums, by power users themselves.
