Hi everyone, I'm Chris (a Mac tech at Dudley College of Technology in the UK) and I'm wondering if anyone can shed any light on an issue we experienced yesterday. At around 4pm, several Macs on our network contacted some IP addresses associated with Akamai Technologies (a content delivery network used by Apple, Adobe and many others), but our local DNS couldn't resolve these requests...and, unfortunately, this brought our network down for about an hour until these IP addresses were blocked by our IT team. Has anyone else experienced something similar? If so, how did you resolve it? The IP address in question were: 2.19.117.75 and 2.19.117.100. Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Hi folks - I'm having some specific problems and I wonder if anyone can help me? The staff here are using macbooks (all on Mavericks OS), which are part of a windows AD domain (don't ask). They access a shared folder on the ancient, and soon-to-be-replaced 2003 server. They can browse the contents of the shared drive, and can open documents contained within it, but when they come to `save as', an browse to the shared folder - it shows as completely blank, and they can't save to it... This problem seems to happen specifically with Office 2011 programs. Is there anything I need to do to the shared folder on the Windows server? Any advice would be useful, thanks!

So I've recently got a network up and running for our macs. They are using a Windows Server 2008. I have an issue with some of the student accounts - they keep getting a message saying "OSX Need to Repair Library to Launch Applications". I'm given 2 options, cancel or repair. I have to put in admin username and pass to be able to click repair. No matter which option I choose, the message comes back a few seconds later. I have found that it is only happening with certain users, not the mac itself. I've ran disk utility to check permissions, everything is fine. Any idea what is causing this?

Hey all, Just had a shiny new M1 Mac mini server installed running Big Sur. All our clients have been upgraded to Catalina (they're too old for anything more). Everything seems pretty much as expected bar one weird thing. One of the device groups in Profile Manager appears to have reset its name to "New Device Group". All the settings/payloads etx are unchanged. just the name. Problem is whenever I try to rename the group to what it should be I get Server Error please reload page. This happens on any browser on any computer even directly on the server. I thought I would simply create another group with the correct name and copy the settings across to it but apparently this cannot be done... I'm assuming that renaming a group that already has members can't be done - hence the "server error". Am I correct? Is there a way to rename the group or copy the settings to a new, correctly named group? Googling for stuff containing "New Device Group" and narrowing it down to what I need is quite challenging; or there's just nothing out there. TIA Mark P.

I put this in networks as I feel the problem is in my network somewhere but I cannot find the source of the issue. Long story short I set up a MacOS server running OS 10.10 and profile manager and all the goodies to manage a lab of macs we are deploying. Everything seems to work until I move a mac to a different subnet/vlan. I know certain ports need to be open for traffic to communicate and I do not see any reason why I would have ports 2195, 2196, 5223, 1640 blocked on internal traffic. In some reading on the internet I found that a IP Helper statement for the IP of the MacServer is needed on each VLAN for some traffic to communicate so I set that up on my core switches too (I do not think I need it on the endpoint switches) My network is primarily HP ProCurve based with some cisco switches thrown in for our Wireless. All the managed macs will be wired (at least at this point) but if I can get this to work we may use it for the handful of MacBooks we have assigned to some teachers. I am curious what I can check to see if the desired ports are opened and test communication for pushing profile settings across subnets. If I can get the Macs to Netboot and image across subnets too that is just an added bonus.
