I would think, if you don't want it to be part of a RAID set, it should be removed. IIRC, the Xserves ship with just three independent volumes; you need to configure the RAID yourself. Usually when I get an Xserve with the RAID card, I erase all of the volumes anyway, build my RAID set(s) and...

Sounds like you just want to specify /Users as your home folder location. That will look locally to the client for the home folder location. Just remember, the user account that has been created on the machine may not have the same UID as the one you create on the server! (ie - check your...

Wow. So Jaguar to Leopard. I've done Jaguar to Tiger, but I haven't seen much of what you're asking. Since you're concerned over downtime and disturbing the mission critical server, why not build it in parallel? Personally, I'd want to build up my new server from scratch, to some extent and...

I may be misunderstanding you (I admit I did get a bit lost in the explanation, possibly from lack of sleep), but it sounds like you want to enforce policy that restricts login to specific users to specific machines. You would need to supplement your Active Directory to do this, most commonly...

Could be that or a routing issue. Is your server hosted somewhere or do you have a dedicated business line for it? Usually the business packages would include a static IP for reaching it externally. If I query your domain, it points to 74.86.38.168 as your IP. That IP brings back cPanel...

The real question is what do you want to use the Open Directory for? You can have single sign on and unified logins by just using Active Directory and binding all of your Macs to the AD domain. You'd add in the Open Directory if you were looking to adding MCX (client management) to the OS X...

Wow, 10.3 - a while ago! I'll try my best, but... :) (I'd be a bit concerned that your search base includes a blank entry...also, .local may cause some clash with zeroconf) In Server Admin, you'll find a DNS service. You'll have to configure the settings in there. Create your Master zone...

So, when you got the server, you probably changed the IP? Mac OS X Server should always have a static IP on your local network (not be DHCP) and you'll have to use the proper tools to change the IP, if you have or wish to, such as changeip. Mac OS X Server should also have a proper DNS...

Well all, it's that time of year again! I've recently wrapped up the sixth edition of "Apple Enterprise Backup Solutions" and, as every year, I'm posting it here to MacOSX.com, the first group I began posting with way back in the day! Anyway, feel free to visit the Projects page at my site...

Questions 1 & 2 - depends on what you're trying to do. If you're trying to vend MCX settings from an OD supplementing the AD schema, then you should have slapd running and both plugins. If you are just trying to authenticate your server against AD or your client machines against OD, you don't...

Could be a lot of things, some related, some not... First, we should evaluate why IMAP/POP won't start. If that's still the case... Second, do you have SSL enabled? Also, what port? If you are requiring SSL, try bumping it down to Use or Don't. Also, any change in authentication methods...

It sounds like you resolved this, but, to answer your question of "is there a way to bypass the network home" and allow login, you can do this by enabling Portable Home Directories. This architecture allows you to keep a copy of your home on the network (AFP share, in your case) and on the...

You'd have to supply a bit more info. Long login times could be a directory service issue, such as improper DNS. Do you receive any sort of error message? When you say that you cannot find user A's home directory, have you specified a home directory location in your Open Directory? When you...

Since you have the same directory service, it should be pretty straight forward, as the user accounts are network based (ie - the same account exist on the current server as the new, so permissions should be observed). That is, if both servers are bound to the same Directory Services... (hint...

You may do better putting this post in a general troubleshooting area, instead of on the Server board. The icon in your dock very well could be there from previously adding it to the dock. Take a look in Applications -> Disk Utility -> Disk Utility. You may find the FireWire drive listed as...

So, I guess the question is, do you need to reset MCX every few minutes? MCX is applied at login by default, so each time the user logs into the machine, the MCX should be reapplied. What is it that you are trying to apply as a managed client setting that often? :) Michael

Are you using an Open Directory? If so, then you should be able to setup the new machine as a 10.4.11 Open Directory Replica, remove the current server and promote the Replica to Master. You could look at mailbfr (http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/41/57/) as a possible way to backup all...

You shouldn't have any issues. I've swapped between the two in the past. The OS is the same, it's just a restriction on file sharing connections. You should be OK. :) Michael

You just need to purchase a full Mac OS X Tiger Server license (probably the unlimited version, which is probably what you are running now in Panther). The full installer will be able to do an upgrade for you or install a fresh OS. You'll see the options for the type of installation while...

This seems to be the opposite. He's running a Mac OS X environment that he wants his Windows Server to integrate into, from what he's saying. :) I'm thinking the time issue you're speaking of is general use for Directory Service integration. Especially when you are using Kerberos, the time...
