Thanks for your answer.

We don’t want to use Simple Finder, but even if I put it on they can still browse the network via the top level – Go menu > Computer > Network icon.

Also un-checking the options under the Commands menu still allows – Go > Network

Any other ideas? Someone else has surely had this problem?

Thanks Eden.

We’ve now reverted to Tiger Server (as per my other post you helped out with 😉 )

If we ever go back and it doesn’t work I’ll try what you suggested.

Thank you for your advise Eden. Went on similar lines and it worked a treat!

For those who have a similar problem…

I used SuperDuper to create a bootable clone on the original Tiger server to an external USB HD drive (we don’t have a firewire).

I then plugged this bootable USB HD in to the Xserve and booted from it.

Once loaded, use CCC to copy over all the files from the external to the internal and reboot! Voila!

Thanks again.

OK, please excuse my ignorance. What do you mean by “can you see the MCX via dscl”?

My knowledge is fairly limited when it comes to things like Terminal.

I would be grateful for some more detail.

Thanks for your help.

I’ll check at work again tomorrow re: MCX via dscl.

I am applying MCX via computer groups/lists. I did also try individual users and groups. None have worked.

I have tried using both 10.5 WGM from the Leopard server, and using the 10.4 on the client.

Both versions detect the changes made in either, but the client does not apply them!

Very strange…

[mezmerrick]

So no one uses Tiger clients successfully with a Leopard server? 😯
