I have a few printers listed in Open Directory. The only way to get them into the Directory is to Add them manually in Workgroup manager. My issue is that after I added 10 printers to OD I now get the following error when I try to add another printer: Got Unexpected Error Error of type...

We had a network administrator that worked with us for about 1 month. He setup a Network library and created a Login script. The Logon script is an applescript app that calls a .command file with shell commands. These two files are located in /Network/Library/Scripts/. In Workgroup manager...

Mobile homes would be to much. I'm trying to whittle down what I can from the profiles as they are too big as it is. 500 GB isn't that bad a partition since most of my servers were configured with only 80GB drives in them. I have 8 schools. All the elementary schools, except for one, can...

What I need to do is bring all the user directories into a single data storage device (XRAID) I can do it with LUN Masking and connect each LUN to a server but I was trying to stay away from one server 0 one share. You see, the problem is that we have 8 schools. 5 elementary, 2 Middle and...

I have a fully populated XRAID box connected by two fibre cables to a QLogic Fibre channel switch. I added an XServe to the mix via the QLogic Fibre switch and I can mount the drive partitions on the XRAID fine. I then attempted to setup user home directories and it worked with my test...

This may seem like an odd question but my Director insisted I do some research. First let me state the current situation we are in. We have 12 XServes doing authentication and hosting home directories. Some users authenticate on one box and the home directories are on another. Anyway...

We want to have all the student group shares (home directories) on the XRAID. Class_of_2009, Class_of_2010 etc. Each school will need to access these directories since we want to create a user home directory and leave the users data in it as they go thru grade by grade. The faculty would...

We are going with the magic triangle approach. Now here is the kicker. I have 8 replica servers that do basic DHCP, authentication and AFP. I have four other servers that are for home directories in addtion to the replicas being home directories. I've just removed 6 Dual XServe G4 boxes...

Well, turns out that the server OS was swiss cheese. We got a new box and rebuilt it. I used ditto -V -rsrc to move the data off the dying box to an external hard drive. When i try to use ditto to move the data onto the new box (400GB drive) the transfer locks up on a different file every...

I have 8 schools with 25 servers 8 replicas one od master and they are all 10.3.9. 5 have macintosh manager setups. So from what I understand is that the key things to worry about are: 1. Export your users & groups to an external location 2. Make sure all servers in the domain are updated to...

We have a production server with two 60GB drives mirrored with Apple's software RAID (ick) Anyway we have no more room on the mirror and need to move the user directories to another partition. Would I be able to do the following: Mount a 400GB drive in the open bay and move the...

Oh! I would love to take the advanced course, however I'm working on my BSIT at The University of Phoenix online and I'm a bit strapped for $$$ right now.

The good thing is that I have a completely new AD domain and a completely new OD domain to work with. Once I figure out how we are going to do this, we'll do it over the summer and re-create all the student and faculty accounts in the AD domain. I've always planned to do the usermanagement...

From my previous experience it it my understanding that if you buy an XServe G5 system with 3 100GB hard drives you can use the Disk Utility to implement RAID 5 on the drives. Now the Disk Utility RAID is Software based. If you want Hardware based RAID you would need to purchase a RAID card for...

Okay, Here we go. I have the following network setup. Windows AD forest:mydomain.com 1 Primay domain controller adpdc.mydomain.com 3 Macintosh servers data1, data2, MACPDC 2 servers have 3 400GB drives and are to be used as data servers 1 server is configured with 2 80GB drives as a...
