When you get everything running, you should also look into something like DynDNS.org or the like. If you don't have a static IP, this will allow you to register a domain name and have it point to the DynDNS servers for the IP information. For example, you could buy the domain silicium.com...

Take a look at changeip. That will handle host names as well. After you are done running it again with -checkhostname to be sure that you have your host name setup properly. Michael

Since every AD environment can be different, I'd suggest getting a test machine, putting all of your critical applications on it and Leopard to see how that runs. What services is the Panther server providing? Michael

To boot into Single User Mode, hold down the Command () and S keys. The system log is at /var/log/system.log . You'd probably want to view the log in real time, so try: tail -f /var/log/system.log which should show you the system log entries as they are added. When it stops and you...

You can login from a Windows client to Mac OS X Server by leveraging the PDC capabilities in Mac OS X Server. You also could look into using something like pGina which is a LDAP plugin for Windows to authenticate against a standard LDAP server, such as Open Directory. You'll have to configure...

You can be an Open Directory Master to provide additional Mac OS X user management or other such services. You also could simply be connected to the Active Directory as a Domain Member. Either way, you'll want to properly bind the Mac OS X Server to the Active Directory, so that you can...

If this is the Apple card for a G5, the card is no longer in production. You'd have to find it second hand, which may be possible. You can do software mirroring with the Xserve. That's usually how I setup these machines. It doesn't require the card. If a drive fails, the other drive will...

Instead of setting that in Open Directory, you'll want to set up Directory Access in Tiger (10.4.x) or Directory Utility in Leopard (10.5.x) to use the Active Directory plugin to bind to the AD. If you are using Leopard, you'll want to be sure to be using 10.5.2, which was just released as an...

On your 10.4.11 Server, go into Applications/Utilities/Directory Access and use the LDAPv3 plugin to establish a connection to the 10.5 Open Directory Master. :)

If you are just looking for file sharing, you should be able to create an account for accessing the Windows file sharing service for your Windows clients. Do you have a directory service running such as Active Directory? If you do, you should integrate the Leopard Server into the AD domain...

Yes, that is a per user setting. Depending on your environment, it's easier said than done. :)

Hans, This means that you are not getting a TGT at login. If you are not familiar, a TGT is a ticket granting ticket, which allows you to access the other Kerberized services in your OD domain. In your second clip. you can see that you then have a TGT and a service ticket from the AFP...

Adam, A couple of things to look at. First, you can check the actual permission as Mac OS X sees them. On the server, navigate in the terminal to the share and perform a ls -l to get the long attributes. They are probably going to be viewed as attribute files, as denoted by a "@" at the...

Depends on what you are trying to do and in what kind of environment. If you are just trying to do a small workgroup server, Leopard will fit that well and possibly in a quicker, easier fashion. If you are looking for a more advanced configuration, both servers can play in that arena, so it...

The most important thing to remember is that you cannot mix OS versions in an OD Master/Replica configuration. If you have a 10.5.x Master, you must have a 10.5.x Replica. If you are using a 10.4.x Master, you must have a 10.4.x replica. The replication capabilities between 10.5 and 10.4 are...

Hans, I've never had the need to modify /etc/authorization by hand to get this to work. Is the AFP server hosted on the OD Master or is that on a secondary server? When you login to the client, what does klist return? Could be that you are not receiving a TGT to start with. Do you have...

The 10.5 Server Admin tool is not compatible with the older versions of Mac OS X Server. If you were still running Tiger, had installed the previous Server Tools and upgraded to Leopard, they would still run, but you cannot install the older tools on Leopard. You can always use the built...

If you are just looking to copy data from direct attached and internal drives, you could look at something like Carbon Copy Cloner. It's free, GUI based and easy to use. Unfortunately the synchronization portion of that utility is only for Tiger and Leopard. You can schedule these tasks...

I had done a slew of testing with Sophos (mainly overhead, ease of use, etc - not actually installing a virus and seeing if it was caught) a while back and was pretty pleased with the product. I wish their Enterprise console would run on Mac OS X Server though. Guess you could see if you can...

What's your overall system configuration look like? Is this a file server, directory server, etc? Personally, for boot drives in a server, I always use a RAID 1 mirror over two drives, if there isn't a hardware RAID card installed. Michael
