    You need to set your mount point up.

    Select your home dir share look under Sharing in WGM. You will see a tab for “Network Mount”, auth as the directory admin and check the box for “Enable network mounting of this share point”. Select “User Home Directories” for use.

    Then go into your user account and you will see under the “Home” tab you now have a choice “afp://server.domain.com/share” select this and you should be good assuming DNS is correct (reverse and forward).

    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.

    Actually it will get a bit faster. AppleRAID 2 will stripe the reads coming off a mirror when it can.

    I have always been told RAID 1 can’t increase write speed, If the two disks are the same (spindles and drive heads can be sychronized) you’ll get a single disk’s write speed. So your saying AppleRAID2 will split the reads/writes between two drives, with a mirror? I was thinking any performance hit would be the CPU since its a software raid and not much at that.

    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?

    You won’t notice unless you’re using the servers for direct video rendering (which your prob are not).

    You can add the group name to the comments section and search that way. You could also import your users with a certain ID number and sort by that…. For example everyone in the 2006 group would have a user ID of 2000-3999 every one in the 2007 group would have a UID of 4000-7999. Of course this only works for one group.

    In Tiger you can add keywords to your users so you can add the groups they are in as keywords and search via keywords. If this is what your looking for you should upgrade to Tiger server.

    I’m sure you know this but you can go into the groups and see who is in that group.

    I have created HTML files with custom icon like this:

    [code]
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>test</title>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.test.com">
    <body bgcolor="#ffffff">
    </body>
    </html>
    [/code]

    I think there is another way of changing the .webloc extension to something else but I can’t remember, maybe someone else will post.

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

    If you go into Directory Access on the sever how is it bound to itself?

    No… you don’t have to use the changeip for this.

    Take a look at this simple GUI if you’re having problems:

    The ASR tab has MultiCast pretty much setup for you.

    in reply to: AD/OD Integration White Paper Question #366620
    Ross
    Participant

    There are many ways to do an AD integration and it all depends on your needs. For instance if you just want to manage preferences via computer lists and your homes are on your AD server, you just bind your clients to both your AD and OD server and use computer lists to manage prefs. In this case you don’t need to bind the Tiger server to AD.

    If your hosting home directories or shares on your OD server you want to bind the Tiger server to AD. On the client end bind them to both AD and OD this will allow the client to login and AD or OD users. But you could just bind the client to just OD in this case.

    You can also just bind a client to both OD and AD and login with WGM (on that client) and drag the AD users over to OD groups in this case you don’t need to bind the server but I would only do it this way for managing group preferences. Any shares or homes on the Tiger server I would bind the Tiger server to AD.

    Here it should ask for your directory admin login and password or tell you it can’t find the domain. I have never seen it just allow you to put in a DOMAIN with out an error or asking you for authentication. Now selecting workgroup never asks for auth…

    Maybe the dual NIC is the issue… The master needs to be on en0 or you will have problems. Have you tried binding a Mac to your OD server to see if the master and OD is working right?

    Not sure what to tell you, I have done about 100 of these setups the same way I’m telling you. If I’m having a WINS issue it always gives an error when trying to change it to the DOMAIN. WINS/Master browser issues are pretty common but I have never seen what you are describing caused by either of those. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
