Yosemite Server and Windows 8.1... I know I know

Windows 8.1 Pro (Bootcamped) suddenly can no longer access Mac server file share. See below for details.
Here is the set up in our small office: Several MacBooks, two iMacs, and a new MacMini running OS X Server (with some file shares). Everything is running Yosemite. Because of the software we use, we are also running Windows 8.1 in bootcamp on most of the machines. I know, kind of a convoluted set-up, but it has actually been working great... until yesterday. For some reason, the MacMini stalled, black screened and had to be restarted. During this time we all lost access to the server. When we restarted everything, most people could access the server from their systems with no issues (access from the Bootcamped Windows side) except for me of course.
Previously I had full access and no issues. I was initially getting the "invalid path" error. That went away after restarting again, and now I can see the server but I get "invalid username or password". The thing is, that it's not invalid. And it was working literally an hour before this happened. Also, no other user can log in from my machine with their working username and password. And as I said everyone else can access it just fine from their machines.
The only difference I can think of is that I have Windows 8.1 Pro - and everyone else just has Windows 8.1.
Things tried:
-Restarting everything multiple times
-Changing username and password on Mac Server side
-Messing with network security policy settings
-Renaming PC
-Spent hours researching networking issues on forums
I know networking between Mac and Windows can be challenging, but we seemed to have it working smoothly. My suspicion is that something needs to happen on the Mac side, but I'm not sure what. If anyone has any ideas at all it would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Home Mac Mini Yosemite Server and Time Capsule

Hello again,
I''m looking to have a Mac Mini Yosemite home server with my dot com pointed to my fixed IP.
I have a laptop, an iPad 2 and an iPhone 6 to manage in the beginning.
It's mostly to practice skills for employment purposes.
If I get the latest october 2014 Mac Mini with Server 4 and I want to back up the server on a Time Capsule 3 TB:
Will it create big backups:
Some macs will be backed up to Mac Mini Yosemite Server Time Machine Services.
iPad and iPhone backed up in iTunes, on the server or the laptop?
What else can be a problem?
François

Hello DC,
Thanks for the quick reply.
For the problem I try to anticipate, it was like those mac with Bootcamp, where Windows is one big file and a simple log on-log out on Boot Camped Windows would change the big piece of bread and another complete multi GB would be backed up. the runaround was not to time-machine the Windows file and use a PC backup for the Windows stuff.
In the same vein, if users back up to the Mac-Mini server in a sparse image, does'nt that fill the backups of the server which is also a sparse image?
I agree with you that an external Time Machine HDD is more flexible as more than 3 TB can be needed down the road.
As for open ended question, effectively, you read it right, I am looking for problems I did not anticipate from user who bumped into them.
Thanks

Yosemite Server Vs. Windows Server 2012

Hello, I wonder does Yosemite server can replace Windows Server 2012 and work as full as server operation system?
In services:
DNS
DHCP
Webserver
FTP
Mailserver
Maybe Virtualization

We found the same. One small Mac mini replaced a towering Dell, tripled the uptime of our UPS and the Mac Server could not have been easier to configure. It almost fell into operation with all the services you mention. We don't employ an IT department or external contractor to manage this either (we are all electrical engineers here though...)
Biggest benefit other than stability, ease of maintenance? TIME MACHINE - for us - this is worth its weight in gold to have such a simple and effective backup strategy.
But..... We have found some issues with the SMB (File serving / File sharing) functionality from windows clients.
Files that are open on an SMB share from a Windows 7 client, all our users eventually complain that the file/s they have been working on and had open for 2 hours (some shorter some longer) suddenly becomes read only... And they no longer have permission (even though they created it, have group privileges etc) to delete, move, rename etc. Strange things happen with file locks too, so the file can report it's in use when the owner tries to open the file after closing the app and starting again. (problems are related obviously) Only the admin can change it... (doesn't matter the app or format - CAD, Word, Excel.... or MYOB accounting files! etc)
We ended up running a W7 instance in a VM and handle the critical file sharing out of there. (Could have set up server 2012 in a basic mode - but seems mad to have 2 full servers. Had other reasons for wanting the W7 VM anyway - so no big deal, but less than ideal for a "file" server.
If anyone has ideas - about what might cause the crazy permissions issues - happily discuss - but other than that - OSX Server is a great choice for us.

Leopard server and windows users

We run a mac + pc environment with some users on macs, many on pcs, and our office server is a windows exchange for email etc. As a multi-location consulting firm, we need to set up a good collaboration system that is hosted internally (to preserve confidentiality) and allows us to create a web-based knowledge creation, sharing and collaboration environment. We have looked at some of the new web services offers, but all are hosted by the providers.
We are considering buying a mac leopard server and have the following questions:
1/ will windows users be able to use the wiki, chat, calendaring and podcast facilities from their laptops without any problems, and will they have the same easy user interface?
2/ does the wiki server enable group collaboration like:
2a/ sending out email notifications on new posts (without changing our exchange server)
2b/ allowing groups to create project and team specific areas
3/ The problem we face is one of adoption. If we can make this as easy as facebook, then lots of people will migrate within 48 hours. But is this possible with the leopard server?
4/ finally, we are based in Singapore and our offices are all in Asia? Do we need a lot of experienced Apple-savvy technical people to create any of these applications, or is leopard server as easy to use as a mac is for a home user?
Any thoughts or inputs would help. FYI, alternatives we are evaluating are jive software's clearspace or basecamp or zoho's web based suites.
thanks / Suresh

Yes, the web based interfaces work just fine for both OS's, the chat server is using jabber (clients on about every OS) and the calendaring is using the standards based iCalendar format.
2/ does the wiki server enable group collaboration like:
2a/ sending out email notifications on new posts (without changing our exchange server)

I don't know of functionality to send out e-mail notifications on new posts, but you can subscribe to RSS feeds of things posted in the blog section of the wiki server. I'd need a little bit more information to understand what you're looking for as far as creating project and team specific areas.
3/ The problem we face is one of adoption. If we can make this as easy as facebook, then lots of people will migrate within 48 hours. But is this possible with the leopard server?
On the front end most of this stuff is very easy to use, and is in my opinion even simpler than facebook and such.

It's pretty easy to set the server up as long as you read the documentation. There's also a lot of resources online if you have problems (like this forum). It would probably be helpful to have someone familiar with LDAP systems and at least some command line usage on the server, but like I said, the documentation is pretty good. You can go read it to get an idea at http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/
Hope that helps out some.

Mac Mini Server and Windows SBS

I am running an aging Dell server with SBS 2003 and wondered whether it would be possible to use one or perhaps two Mac Mini Servers for my needs. I used to host my own Exchange on this server but I was running out of HD space and it was not easily upgradable so I opted to use Hosted Exchange and use the old server for two things: as a File Server and to run a databse that was written for us in MS SQL Server. I access the SQL database via RDP from my Dell laptop (docked in the office and connected to two monitors with extended desktop). I have long been a Mac user at home and have someone else working on my team now who uses a Macbook Pro. He is currently not using the server at all, but it would make sense for him to be able to access some aspects of the File Server. My question is whether I can replace this Dell Server with a Mac Mini Server but booting in Windows SBS 2008 or whatever the newer version is, assuming it can still run the old SQL Server database. Would it be possible to use the same Mini Server as a File Server or better to use a separate one for that or perhaps some other solution for a File Server. I would like things to be RAID so that I have backups which are required for compliance reasons. I currently run a nightly backup of the data on teh File Server and the SQL database onto an external drive and also the same back up is done using iBackup as an offsite back up. I need the developers of the SQL Server database to be able to remote in from their Windows machines in India for periodic updates and system maintenance. I also would need to be able to access the same database from my laptop in the office, and I believe there are limits on the number of connections one can have with SBS. I do have VPN access set up via my Sonicwall TZ210 router/firewall that enables me to access the Server if I am traveling with my laptop or am at home on my iMac (although that client has never worked properly) but currently our internet connection is too slow to make the VPN usable when I'm away from the office.
Thanks to anyone who can answer all or part of these questions. Perhaps I should have one Mini Server for the SQL database and one as a File Server (or could that just be done with a network drive? I'm not sure I really know the difference - I'm a solo act here, not a systems guy, so am feeling my way somewhat).

Calendar Server and Windows 2000

Hallo,
what have I got to do to run the Sun ONE calendar together with the ldap Server of Windows 2000 Server (Active Directory)?
When installing it says, I will have to update the directory manualy, but I do not know how to do this...
thanks a lot
salamander

I have 2005Q4 calendar, communication express, 2005Q1 messaging server, and outlook connector
I don't think that this is a supported configuration. Outlook Connector expects all the versions to match. It's not likely to work unless it finds that.

Windows 2008 Server and Windows 8 clients

Hey Guys,
I have had this problem for sometime now and really need a solution. I have Windows 2008 Enterprise Server running about 200+ terminal services clients. All Windows XP clients are fine, Windows 7 clients have issues when they get an updated version of
remote desktop client(to solve the issue we simply rollback the update), Windows 8 clients cannot connect and use out remote app. The issue stems from the newer version of remote desktop client (on windows 7 and embedded in windows 8) cannot connect to our
terminal server and generates an error and immediately disconnects. The error says "
Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote computer that you want
to connect to
So my questions are, how can i update my Windows 2008 Terminal server version to support these clients, or do u have migrate to Windows 2012? Or is there a solution to my current problem which will allow my client to connect and use the remoteapps?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please follow the below steps and verify result.
LAN manager authentication level settings (Local security policy->Local Policies->Security Options->Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication level).
Try to change it to "Send NTLMv2 response only"

List of OOTB Reports for SQL Server and Windows Server

Hi,
I am struggling to find a list of OTB reports from Operations Manager for SQL and Windows. Ideally I need the name of the reports and a list of counters that they report on.
Can anybody give me an idea where I can find this?
Thanks,
Pete
Peter Carter http://sqlserverdownanddirty.blogspot.com/

Hi Pete,
I don't believe that there are any Windows or SQL Server specific reports out of the box from SCOM.
However, when you import the Windows (either Server or Client, unsure which you are referring to) and/or the SQL Server Management Packs, within the documentation it will tell you the reports that will also be imported and thus available.

Mac OS X 10.5.7 as VNC server and Windows as VNC server

Hi,
I try to enable screen sharing from Mac OS X as VNC server and we would like to use a Windows client as VNC client.
I try to anable it from system pref., set the password, ecc.
When I insert VNC password from Windows, VNC send me this message.
read: Connection aborted (10053)
Have you got any advice?
If I use Windows as VNC server and Mac 10.5.7 as client all works fine.
Windows Vista SP1, RealVNC VNCviewer 4.1.3 free edition.
Thank you
Regards.

Re: Ganimede Dignan
Re: justinvallon
I have found that if a 3rd party client is not happy with the Mac OS X VNC server, then switching to the Vine Server (aka OSXvnc) often times does the job. Vine Server is a free download:

Windows server 2012 as primary DC and DNS server and windows server 2003 as secondary DC and DNS

Migration from windows server 2003 AD DC and DNS server to windows server 2012 R2,
Cannot I set up Windows server 2012 R2 as primary DC and DNS , windows server 2003 as secondary DC and DNS ? (for backup server when server 2012 fail, user can continue to login and access internet services)

You can mix both as long as your Forest and Domain Functional level are Windows Server 2003. However, I would like to bring your attention to this blog about known problems when mixing DCs with Windows Server 2003 and 2012 R2 OS:

10.8.1 Server and windows smb issues

Ever since upgrading to 10.8.1 server my windows clients now have issues copying to the share point on the server. "Network error, there is a problem accessing \\SERVER\WORK"
It's only with large file transfers 3GB and above. It also randomly shows the same warning when they are saving projects to the server occasionally and they have to manully reconnect.
Latest windows 7 64bit pro on all clients and latest mac os X on server.
The share point is an attached thunderbolt raid and has all permissions switched off, and is configured to RAID 0. This is backed up hourly by another drive.
Is there anyway of rolling back to lion? I no longer have a lion back up on my time machine.
Anyone else having these issues?

Apple's SMB implentation is weak and buggy. I feel like I'm back in 10.3 trying to talk to Windows servers. Those were horrible days.
To Fix.. go to your Mac and check to make sure that it has the correct WINS settings (network, advanced, WINS). Your server has to be on the same workgroup (domain) as your windows clients. For some reason, the setting does not stick on your Mac and that setting gets lost. And that is the bug...
To fix this (second part of your fix).. go ahead and turn off file sharing. Then add your settings under WINS as stated above, then turn sharing back on and your networking from windows to mac will start to work fine.
Fun bugs... please call Apple about this, so they can follow up. My case number is 357016704

How to access a printer on a networkwith a Linux server and Windows client.

Windows can't find a driver on the network. To locate one manually. click OK. Otherwise click Cancel...
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I posted additional information online using the newly created Launchpad login Service account.
I hope that explains my situation, if not I will add more detail here.
There is no problem, when ither of the two OS are used to enable printing with the HP Deskjet 2050 J510 series printer.
The problem begins when I try to print from the other OS , when connected to one of the Operating System.
I have tried without success to print from Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit OS from an HP Deskjet 2050 J510 series connected to a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server with Amahi (HDA), installed.
The same thing occurred when I tried to print from the Ubuntu server and the printer was connected to the Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit running P.C.

Can i setup a secure reverse proxy using sun one web proxy server and windows 2000?

I've tried this on IPlanet Proxy 3.6 and, after reading the documentation, realized that SSL is not supported on the Windows platform. So I'm asking if it is supported using Sun One Web Proxy Server

Hi,
Yes, What you say is right.
"The NT and Windows 2000 versions of iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 do not support SSL".
Sun One Web Proxy Server is as same as iPlanet webproxy server.
May be in future relase of proxy server SSL will be supported in Win2000.

Hello, I'm a new user of ML Server and I'd like to know how I can install a webmail such as Roundcube.

Roundcube is no longer supported by default in Mountain Lion Server, but I wanted to install a modern webmail anyway. Comments on SQL configuration would be particularly appreciated. Thanks!

OK, now I have two problems:
The first is that I need to grant write privileges to the webserver for temp/ and logs/. I don't know which command to use and how. The following is what appears on the php installer:
Check if directories are writable
Roundcube may need to write/save files into these directories
temp/: NOT OK(not writeable for the webserver)
logs/: NOT OK(not writeable for the webserver)
Use chmod or chown to grant write privileges to the webserver
The second problem concerns the mail server. I don't really know how I can get a working imap and smtp. For info, my domain is cervoni.info, my hostname (FQDN) is mail.cervoni.info. On my dns service, I have both an A and MX record for mail.cervoni.info.
How I can get mail for a user (with the right logins), say the admin for instance, is what I don't understand.
Thanks for your help.

Strange problem with AIX server and windows clients

I am having a real bizzare problem with WLS 7.0.1 running on AIX 5.1 and
clients on windows. We have J2SE Swing application as a client.
If the client is w2k or XP, the first client gets good response. If I start
another client the second client is horribly slow (2 sec vs 16 sec). Even if
I kill the first client the second client continues to be slow. If I have 2
clients open together, the first one continues giving 2 sec response while
the second one continues with 16 sec. For that matter if I start another
client after shutting down first one I get slow (16 sec) response.
If the client is NT client I always get good and consistent response from
the server. Irrespective of how many client I have on the NT machine, I keep
getting good response. NT and W2K laptops are seating right next to each
other on the same n/w and infact the NT is a much slower and lessor memory
machine than W2K.
We did similar tests keeping server on Solaris or NT server or W2K server,
and the clients "behave" normally i.e I get consistent repsponse time (it
may be slow or fast, but it is consistent and is consistent b/w NT and W2K).
We even tried putting my laptop on the same network as the AIX server, but
it did not help. Unfortunately some of our clients will be using AIX and
W2K.
HELP!!!!

Sounds like a reverse DNS lookup or similar network timeout.Thanks for the suggestion, but then why would the first client on w2k or XP
get a better performance and the subsequent clients get worse performance?
