Anybody use an Ironport web filtering device on their network? I'm trying one out and none of my Macs can connect through it b/c it demands a name and password no matter what I enter in the proxy requires password setting. PC users connect ok, the Mac users connect when I log them on to a pc...

How can I get the "enable access control lists on this volume" option on my Xserve to not be greyed out?

One of my servers is rebooting itself once or twice a week and I found this "automatic reboot timer enabled" in the Watchdog Event Log. Anybody know what this is?

Looks like Apple's copying MS now. "Apple megapatch plugs 45 security holes" Apple on Tuesday issued a security update for its Mac OS X to plug 45 security holes, including several zero-day vulnerabilities. The megapatch is the seventh Apple security patch release in three months.

My Mac server rebooted itself overnight and I'd like to see a log file to figure out why. What's the OS X server equivalent to the Windows Event Viewer and how do I get to it?

I tried to install the latest security updates on my Macs and I've discovered that none of the updates are installing on any of them. I'm either getting a permissions error for a softwareupdates folder that doesn't exist or being told they can't connect to the Internet (they can). Luckily I'm...

Every couple of months my Mac users lose the ability to connect to our xserve, getting a "no response from the server". All of my PC's work and can connect but the Macs don't. Rebooting a few times eventually clears it up, but I need a more permanent solution. Any ideas?

Is there a way to get Spotlight to index using a gui? That terminal stuff is annoying.

Rebooting a second time fixed it, but is this behavior normal? I can't believe quickly unplugging/plugging a cat5 cable would blow up a server like this. I'm running 10.3.9

Unlimited. It even says that under the Server admin. It's worked fine for years.

Had to unplug the network cable on my Mac server this morning for five seconds. First no one could connect. I rebooted and now only ten Mac users can. Windows users are ok, but the Macs are limited all of a sudden. How do I fix this?

Is there an easier way to add a network printer to OSX then having to manually enter the name/ip address? For pcs, I would just browse to my print server, double click on the printer I wanted to install and that was it. Is there a way to do that on a Mac?

I found someone to reboot the server. Now if I could just get this pos to empty the trash without locking up.

How do I check? I'm a total pc guy, so bear with me.

I Vnced into an Xserve to delete data and the machine froze while emptying the trash. I relaunced the Finder, but now the desktop's just sitting there with no icons or menu. The dock is still there but the icons just bounce and bounce when I click on them. How do I reboot this thing or...

Is there a way to get more information when a program crashes instead of just being told that it "unexpectedly quit" because of an "unknown error"?
