my dhcp logs on the server show that it is seeing the client trying to boot. the BSDP offer is sent to the MAC address of the mini client then DHCP DISCOVER entry then the ACK is sent as it should. The client finally booted to the Network install screen (thought I set it so it wouldn’t do that though…) but when I click next to install and select the drive to install to it fill the progress bar 2% of the way and then says it’s done. I have a 6gig compressed dmg image that takes a little longer than a second to run I’d imagine though so I don’t know what happened. Unless of course you’re not supposed to use compressed dmg files for your netboot image…
It’s just the server connected to a switch and the client connected to the same switch. I’m trying to get the most basic of netboot installs working here… For DHCP i just have one subnet enabled from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.254 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 over en0. no router specified.

If I were to run through the Gateway Setup Assistant would that likely get me a working DHCP server? Also, how easy or difficult would it be to get the system back to its previous state? Should just pull-off copying setting panes provide enough of a restore path?

I set up the system, then created a dmg through disk utility after booting the system via target disk mode. Then I ran through System Image Utility using that dmg to create the netboot image.

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?

[tramahound]

was this done correctly and if so what went wrong?

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?

[tramahound]

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..

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!

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?

[tramahound]

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.

[tramahound]

I’m getting the same error with 10.4.4 connected to our AD server. Unbinding and binding again fixes things, but it’s not the most elegant of solutions.
