    I updated to 10.4.7 along with the security updates recently for tiger server and upon returning to the office yesterday I cannot access my locally installed server or manage shares via workgroup manager. When trying to connect to my local server I get the message No server available at the address you entered… and it prompts me to keep it in the list or remove it. I can however connect to an xserve 10.4.7 in the server room via this same workstation using the same server admin app.
    I tried updating the server apps, copying a new example of servermgr from the xserve’s install, deleting my keychains for server admin, and adding SERVERMANAGERSERVER=-YES- to my hostconfig file. none of these fixed my problems. I’ve found a few threads on the apple discussion boards regarding this same problem, but no real solution. ugh

    I also get the same error on the xserve when trying to connect to the iMac via server admin.
    yes, the troubled machine is an iMac G5 1.8ghz/160gb/1g connected via ethernet running tiger server 10.4.7.

    Run software update on your client, you will see there is an update for the server admin tools. This is your problem.

    I wish that was it. I received no such notification via software update, but did manually update them via the download on apple’s site. I am running server admin 10.4.7 and workgroup manager 10.4.4.
    Is there a repair option on the install dvd that might fix this?

    That is the correct version number so that’s not it… Did you try the server IP address, maybe DNS is messed up.

    You may want to try authentication as the local admin as opposed to the directory admin and see if you can get in that way…

    I think I misread your post… are you saying server admin (on the server) is giving you this error, or from a remote machine?

    this is in my console logs;
    0x205000 – 0x21dfff com.apple.ServerAdmin.servermgr_dns 2.0.2 /usr/share/servermgrd/bundles/servermgr_dns.bundle/Contents/MacOS/servermgr_dns
    The server is on a static ip address and not bound to our corporate AD because it was moving itself around on the admins and they didn’t like that.
    I have tried logging into the server admin app for the iMac using the IP address as well as the .local name on the iMac itself and via the xserve in the server room. Each time it did not work.
    I am also trying to authenticate via the local admin account and still it does not work.
    I’m on the fence with regard to just re-installing tiger server because of this, but I can’t stand the thought of giving up on it. This isn’t Windows. Re-installing shouldn’t be the only way around it!

    Well you can always try the IP “127.0.0.1” on the server it self if you think something may have happend with the IP. And you can always try the “root” user as the login if you think its something with the password… of course check the logs. Try the root account and see if you can login with that.

    I tried the 127.0.0.1 address with my local admin account and with root but neither worked. same error. i thought you had something there, but in this case it doesn’t seem to be working that way either. thanks though..

    would you be able to tell me how to do that? i tried copying the servermgr file from a known good server but that didn’t seem to help…not the dns plug-in you are talking about but still something I thought would work. Wouldn’t putting the static ip address of the server in as address instead of machinename.local rule out dns?

    thanks, I tried to remove all but the windows plug-in and received the same error.
    Is there a way to replace the app or daemon with new ones off the tiger server install dvd?
