I just wanted to give a heads up to everyone about something I found while upgrading our servers to 10.1.1. This past week we started having issues with people saving work and it not showing up properly (like a temp file instead of the actual name they named it) , or their work would just not...

Hey Axel. Here's what I have found when it comes to the spinning color wheel of death. I have noticed that the network services are very smart in Mac OS X and Server. They know when their network settings are wrong and unfortunetly it lets you know by giving you that spinning color wheel of...

I had seen this post and knew I had to say something. When OSX Server has ever come out, we have bought it and implemented it immediately. All versions like 1.0, 1.2, and now 10.0.4 and 10.1. Not the most smart thing to do, but oh well. We installed 30 new servers all running OSX Server...

Hey, just to let you all know, Mac OS X Server version 10.1 is done. It is much faster and fixes some issues with the Samba services and some other services. Plus it's really, really fast. I like some of the visual changes they made. So my guess is they will release it at the same time as...

You hold down the command key+V keys at startup. Brian

Hey PowerBookDude, To answer your question, yes it does create a home directory on the server. But if you want to turn that feature off or point the server to the home directory of another server, you can do that also. Under the Server Admin, click on the Users & Groups Micon and select...

Yeah I have lived in this desert all my life. Yeah from what I'm told there is a built-in cluster system. It's just that Apple has to make an interface for it so that it can be used. I'm not sure if it's there own technology or if it's something already created with an Apple twist on it...

Most of those Apps in the client come in OSX Server. Which ones are you talking about? Brian

Hey Vaporboy, I have setup over 60 something OSX Servers. I can do it in my sleep. I have worked with version 1 and 2. Both of those were good but not great. With OSX Server version 10.0, they have made a great improvment. More features, new interface like Mac OS X client, very stable...

Hey, We have seen this problem before. What we have found is that it has to do with the switch you plug it into in most cases. If it is a Cisco switch, there is a built in protocal called Spanning Tree that is on by default. The problem is that Spanning Tree is such a new technology that...

Before you installed OSX 10.0, did you make sure that all your drives are formated in Mac OS Extended format. If you are upgrading from OSX server versions 1.0 or 2.0 which used UFS, then you need to re-format the drive back to a Mac OS Extended format. Anything that resides on the UFS...

From our inside resources at Apple, we are hearing yes. Or if not at the same time, soon after. Brian

Hey I know that our VST Firewire drives work with sharing off of OSX Server 10.0. We have had to do that a couple of times and it works great. Brian

Hey man. Let's see if I can get caught up on some of these questions. When you install the new version of OSX Server 10.0 you need to do it from scratch. Also classic does not get installed. So you would have to have an OS9 CD and install it to get classic to work. As for limiting the...

Yes there is a way to do what you are saying in Mac OS X Server. In the older versions like 1.0 and 2.0 you have to do it either by the Apache Preference files or in the terminal. But in Mac OS X Server 10.0, they made it all graphical. It's a heck of a lot easier. You can also make it so...

In Mac OS X Server version 1.0 and 2.0 you can route appletalk. The only thing is that there is no graphical interface for doing it. You have to do it in the terminal. Now I could tell you all the commands and what to do but that would take forever. The easiest thing to do is to go to the...
