HodgeHi

Download ActivInspire. If the dmg doesn't mount automatically double click it to mount it. Install ActivInspire go through the installation wizard. Install the ActivDriver. Go through the installation wizard. Restart when asked. you should get the ActiveDriver menu panel in the area next to the clock in the top-right corner. I think there is also a system pref added. ActivInspire and the driver can also be deployed using ARD if there is more than one client.

Interesting way of doing things. Also when the hosts file needs updating you could push a new one out via ARD. Also i don't know much about how VLANS work but it does sound like DNS isn't working as it should causing the issue you see. maybe a tcpdump on a client would reveal more?

Mm. Interesting stuff. Is this direct from apple stating it's a known issue? Just a thought but what would a redirect do to the managed preferences? Not sure how they work but it may help to redirect to a local folder. Dunno?

I have a PPC G4 Mac mini. Not sure if I have the discs though. I may have a retail copy of the disc. Apple sells the media usually for £10. You could try KRCS or even ScrumpyMacs I will see what I can do though. Oh, and discs for other hardware can be made to work on other machines. You need to edit a plist file that determines which machines the installation runs on. To do this you make a dmg of the disc and then edit the files. More information can be found online.

I would agree with carter. I've never used either Likewise or AdmitMac. The reason for this is AdmitMac costs money (a fair bit of it) and Likewise if Carter is correct isn't needed. Why add a level of complexity to something that is already there. The only one I think would be beneficial is perhaps the ExtremeZ-IP which apparently allows for use of DFS shares for mac home dirs. AdmitMac allows for simple administration through group policy as far as I'm aware but if you already have an OS X Server then this may just be additional cost for no reason. AdmitMac also replaces the AD Plugin that is built into OS X. It's a complete system from client to server.

If you are getting an xserve then you want to be quick as Apple have discontinued them.

Not only do you need to make sure that forward and reverse dns records are working correctly, you also need to make sure that forwarded dns queries are correct as well. I found that even though the forwarded address could resolve Internet names, when using it for our internal networked macs everything just seemed slow all the time. Changing the adress from our routers address to a proper forwarding dns server resolved our issue in an instant.

Just letting you know that apple has just released bootcamp 3.2. Just in the Knick of time eh?

Upgrade to 10.6.5 that has just been release. An issue has been resolved where WGM settings can be lost.

can you not download the remote Cd/DVD software for a pc if you have one available and access the disc through that remotely? Also try and create a cd image of the disc. I have found that simply renaming the .cdr to .iso seems to work fine. Also I tried the Parallels server software in beta. Was quite good.

Do you know what hardware it is? If so you may be able to manually download some 64bit drivers and install those.

You may need to do something with the permissions for the applications before they will work with networked user accounts. Check the permissions on the root of the applications folder and then check them on the apps you copied over or installed. I usually ran the chmod 755 on /Applications on all clients using ARD. This propagated the permissions through the applications. after this they generally tended to work. Check the Console logs you may see entries against the application you tried to open with a permission denied error. If so then this may help resolve your problem. It helped me with mine.Application restriction wasn't the issue with mine either. All apps in the application folder were allowed. Any other items copied over using ARD (I always used ARD) or perhaps manually will need their permissions changed as well. i.e. desktop wallpapers, plist files, license files.

My brother owned a Hyundai Sonata and a Lantra. If the newer ones are the same as the older ones, then they are pretty solid. The Lantra was a nice car to drive. I had a few lessons in it myself The sonata was a nice car as well. It had a big steering wheel, almost like a bus!. both cars were comfortable and he only got rid of the Lantra because he did something to the sump if I remember right. He also had no choice to get rid of his sonata as a polish lorry driver reversed into the side of it and wrote it off for him. He wasn't happy. He still says now that they were two of his preferred cars. The only downside was the cost of maintenance and servicing. I remember him needing a calliper doing on the Sonata. He took it to Kwik fit and they found that they needed to order a new tool just to remove the calliper on the Sonata. Cost them around £200 or something for the tool.

Have you now removed the hidden flag from the files?

Have you rebooted into Windows since the sound failed? Occasionally the sound doesn't work. Usually an uninstall and then re-install of the sound drivers brings it back (on XP on an old macbook Core 2 Duo) or just a simple reboot.

If the AEBS is configured correctly, then maybe update to the latest version of OS. I know that there was a security update released after the 10.5.8 release. There was talk of a few issues with the airport cards/connections in 10.5.x. Not sure what version now. Also check to see if the network has been added to the remembered list of networks. You could try removing it from the list and then rea-dding it. I have seen before where the network seems to be forgotten and then needs to be re-added. You could also perhaps delete the encryption key from the keychain. The connection should then ask you to enter the key when connecting to the network again. Most of what I said will need to be done as the local admin.

License files can sometimes be stored in /Library/Application Support/ I know Plasq use this location for Comic Life. Maybe the software creates a plist file in this location once the serial number has been entered?

I didn't even know until tonight how they got on. I don't avidly support them but like to see them do well. Been to a few of their matches. Did enjoy it. Just can't afford to do it regularly. But yes by all accounts they did very well

Maybe they could set up a league called the prestigious league where all of the clubs across europe (who think they are the richest) pay to join annually. Whoever wins the league then takes home the pot at the end of the season. Then the rest of us can get on with the actual reason for kicking something around the field, winning a game of footie. Oh and I support the baggies.

It may be obtaining a kerberos ticket for the new servers being connected to if they are not the same AD servers authenticating?

You are getting a kernel panic. Doing a search for kernel panic during netboot should help to bring up more answers. This is the first one I came across. It may help. Apple - Support - Discussions - Netboot clients boot into kernel panic ...

I found that Open Office has a few quirks. I have a word document that is laid out for a mail merge with a CSV file for little kiddies name cards (Reception, yr1, yr2 etc). This works well in MS, but it seems that no one else can produce a decent mail merge apart from MS. I have tried the process in both Open Office and Pages '09 with results that just aren't what I'm after. It may just be me. This is the task: A column of cells the width of the page and a row from the csv file in each cell. The row consists of a single field (username). so you should have on the page after the mail merge... username1 username2 username3 username4 etc.. In Pages it seems that you can only use one field once. In Open Office it seems that you can only have a small square like a label. As I say it might just be me, but Word in this case is simple and easy. The rest just don't cut it, much to my annoyance. There's also some other quirks in OOo like changing the colour of text already typed. The colour swatch stays the same colour from the looks of it and also I've seen where it outright refuses to change the colour. even it all of this is a oversight on my part, word processing shouldn't be difficult. Just my opinion... Carry on.

Macs don't use the same proxy for all connection types by default. You have to specify it. Maybe the proxy settings need to be applied to all connection types i.e. FTP, Streaming proxy, Gopher proxy etc.

I take it you are running 10.5 mac clients? I had issues with this but found a post that mentioned creating a launch daemon using lingon and setting it to run on system startup. Seemed to help a little but still had issues with binds failing. Overall Apple still need to do a little more work. But you could argue that they didn't have to go this far with AD integration anyway. If your macs didn't dual boot most, if not all of these issues would disappear.

When binding OS X 10.4 to Ad domains there are a few gotchas. The main one is, unlike the newer versions, you have to bind to the AD first using the Dir util and then promote to OD Master using Server Admin. I think this is correct. You may wish to read up on the process if you haven't already as it rather different to the current versions (10.5 and 10.6) It is a little more trickier to set up and get working. I may have a tiger guide if you are interested.
