Why not run Windows XP in Virtualbox?

Well, I've been trying to delete it as the superuser so the permissions shouldn't matter. I changed the permissions on the alias to 777 as you suggested but it still won't delete. Kent

Since upgrading my iMac to SL a few months ago, and the deletion of the Directory app, Address Book will not search our Active Directory server for names. On other Macs that I've upgraded Address Book works normally with no extra configuration but I can't get it to work on mine no matter what I...

I have an alias to a retired server in /automount/Servers that I'd like to delete, however, when I try 'rm /automount/Servers/server_alias' I get a message stating it's read-only filesystem. Permissons on the Servers directory are dr-xr-xr-x. If I try 'ls -l /automount/Servers/' there is a...

I am in need of a method to contact a specific Mac, either by ping or an ssh session or some other means, and notify me if the computer is offline. I know I can simply ping it forever but that seem messy and doesn't give a decent notification. I would like either email or a pop-up with the...

I haven't found the cause yet but I found a fix that eliminates rebooting. Save or close all open documents. Press Command-Option-Esc to force quit applications, choose Finder and click relaunch. Confirm relaunch of Finder. This worked for me in the limited testing I did. Kent

Interesting! It's January 21, 2009 and we just had three separate reports of this same problem. We're running OS X 10.4.11. Any fixes yet? Kent

How do I delete Group Folders in Workgroup Manager? We have some obsolete shares that I want to delete. When I select the folder I want to delete the delete option is greyed-out. Thanks, Kent

Change the permissions on the Quark application folder so that all users have r/w permission. In my experience this happens when you install it by copying the Quark application folder to a different drive. Kent

This is from our network admin. For the main domain's zone, on all DNS servers, and assuming that the Mac workstations are domain members, the following permissions apply: Authenticated users get: - Create All Child Objects (applies to This Object Only) - Everything except Full Control...

Our network admin found a setting in the DNS server regarding what clients are allowed to update entries. This is apparently different than allowing both secure and unsecure updates. After he changed the setting everything is working normally. Kent

That's a question for our network admin.

No, it doesn't. The Macs get IP addresses from DHCP but DNS entries are NOT made automatically. I can manually enter hosts in our DNS server but when the IP address changes the DNS entry is not updated. I've seen a few references to the same problem but no fixes. I can either reserve IP...

Was this problem ever solved?

So far I have found references to the same problem but no fixes. Is there a specific link to which you can direct me? Thanks, Kent

No, it didn't. What happens is if another computer starts up and gets the same IP then a message is displayed on the Mac that the IP is in use. I think what I'll have to do is reserve IPs from DHCP for the Macs or just give them static IPs. I will check out the links later today. Kent
