    Tiger Image restore failure

    An image that you restore has to be read-only compressed, as well as "scanned for restore" in Disk Utility. Make sure you do that before attempting to restore.

    10.4 installer just won't finish!

    Sometimes, you have to nuke and pave....back up your data and zero the drive (choose the erase option to write zeros to the hard disk). If you have a bad sector, it can cause the install to hang up. Even though the check of the file system will stop and error out if you have, for example, an...

    Mac OS X Servers in Windows AD forest

    Going the Schema extension route is not a good idea at this point in time. Once, it was really the only option if you wanted to have managed users while authenticating from AD. With Tiger server, it is possible to map a attribute or two or leverage an unused schema attribute within AD or...

    Any way to convert .avi to .mov or .mp4?

    ffmpegX can certainly convert .avi to .mp4, and Quicktime Pro should be able to transcode the .mp4 to .mov afterward.

    Quotas and Scripts

    Odd that the quotas aren't working for the RAID. What type of RAID is it? Which version of Mac OS X Server? Try using ./name of script - and make sure it's executable. chmod + x /path to script

    Server go-slow

    I'll agree with Mike D. on this suggestion to look at DNS. Your server has more than enough resources to serve your clients with ease. Although Nigel's tips on tuning AFP are great, I don't think the key lies there, but possibly looking at your process list (use top or ps) to make sure some...

    Can't Rotate the Screen Enough!

    This might take a screen recalibration which might require a trip to an authorized Apple Repair Center (special tool) and even then there's no guarantee that it'll be fixable. You could try an external monitor, that'd certainly work.

    Verify Kerberos functionality?

    The last of realms to join is a pretty clear indication that your DNS isn't correctly configured. At one point was your server configured as an OD master? That can cause some strangenes like that. I'd look at the TGT you are getting from the AD server and see if you can resolve that from the...

    Remote desktop 2 and pc clients

    Technically, you sould be able to connect to a PC running a VNC server on port 5900, but I've not heard of anyone using ARD to control PCs, though many use Chicken of the VNC.

    Tiger, VirtuaPC and LottoPro

    Virtual PC is an excellent emultator so obviously LottoPro is a poorly written piece of software. If it's so important to you, get a cheap PC and let it crash that.

    Trouble with start up

    Obviously this computer has an Adaptec 2940U2B card in it which came with older B & W G3s. It's been known to be problematic. Replace it with an IDE (ATA) disk and pull the SCSI card and it should be better.
