The MacEnterprise.org group will be presenting a Webcast on Group Logic ExtremeZ-IP Tuesday March 20th at 1:00pm EDT.In this webcast, Derick Naef and Geordie Korper of Group Logic will discuss the common challenges IT managers face when integrating Macs with Windows file servers, and how ExtremeZ-IP is being used to address those challenges.
In a small rev., Apple today announced support for 750GB drives in the Xserve RAID - now giving it a massive 10.5 TB capacity. Along with that also came a price drop.
These are the slides from Andrina and Nigel's presentation on "Optimizing Mac OS X Server File Services" at MacWorld 2007. As we promised the attendees... up within the hour! :) For the new readers from the site who weren't familiar with the site, welcome!
Update: MacFUSE are now doing their own installers, and you should definitely all be using those instead of these.
Here is a freebie application that mounts network home directories in an Open Directory environment. The program does a quick LDAP lookup and mounts the Volume. It also lets you specify a second mount volume for shared files.
In the move from the Apple Partition Map (APM), to the new GUID partition table (GPT) there's a lot of questions around why, how and what does it mean to me.
Ed. Note: We've talked about redirecting parts of your home folder a number of times when dealing with AFP, but I don't think we've ever actually laid out how to do it. This collection of scripts makes it easy. If you manage an environment with lots of network home directory usage, then you need to check out Network Home Redirector.
So a while ago we put together an article on tuning your AFP server for OS X Server. I'd been promising part #2 for a while, just to cover some odds and ends, but there has been a major development which made a lot of that work redundant, namely the release of the Universal version of OS X Server 10.4.7.
This handy little application has been updated to version 1.0.1. The new version improves support for 10.3.5-10.3.9 systems.
The first Apple announcement at NAB 2006 is the release of Xsan 1.3 - the biggest improvement being the ability to use LUNs greater than 2TB, removing the need to slice your 7TB RAIDs.
