server

Hi there, I have just purchased a mid 2010 Mac Pro Server. It comes running on OSX Lion and I would like to upgrade it to High Sierra so that I can install some more recent software versions that I use. I just wanted to ask how to do this as when I click "software update" it is the most up to...

I just wiped the boot disk of my little server from Catalina and went back to Sierra Server. The reasons are simple: Content caching that works nicely. TimeMachine that always works. A Server interface that makes control simple and tells me whether all the Macs in the house are getting backed...

I was tempted to name this thread, "GoFundMe: help me replace all of my servers..." :D Hypothetically, has anyone seen impressive benchmarks on the M1 performing as a server? API/Web/Database/FTP/Email... etc? Traditionally speaking, service providers use our favorite flavor of Linux and load...

Hi there :) I'm new to Apple computers and I have a question about the Mac Mini M1 because it impressed me a lot. I would like to use it as a server for online work, but to be able to work 2-3 people simultaneously with a desktop environment (in general, Safari and Photoshop will be used the...

I am posting this because I could not find this answer anywhere. Did you upgrade to Catalina Server and have issues getting AFP to work? Does it connect and then prompt that you have no access to the files? Well, search no further for your solution. Open System Preferences. Click Security &...

Recently moved into a new place with my partner and while I'm a :apple: addict she'd rather I don't infest the vibe of the whole house with tech. We like to play Minecraft together on our own server and I like hosting other simple servers from home. I was using a 2007 Mac Mini but the 3GB Ram...

Hi all, I'm new with macOS server. I've a new requirement in my company due to a security audit and we need to have all in one place. So, i found JumpCloud and it would cover all my needs, except because the lan where i need the management has no internet access. I Only need to manage 10 users...

Hello, I have an old 5,1 machine, that I recently bought a new MSI Radeon RX580 GAMING X 8GB Graphics card to keep it alive with Mojave. The specs are: Mac Pro Server (Mid 2010) 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 RAM Would someone be so kind to tell me if a CPU and memory...

After a full day of comparison between High Sierra and Sierra as a Home Office Server, I reverted to Sierra as the main OS. I had been running on High Sierra, but the full functional control from one interface is superior. It also makes debugging Content Caching easier. Now, if I could just...

I would prefer to user the server app to remotely manage my High Sierra OS Server running v5.6.3. Has anybody found a way to enable running the server app on Mojave for remote management. Screen Sharing is not as elegant.

Hey Folks— I know there are a few other 10Gigabit Ethernet threads here, but I have some specific needs and thought maybe it would be better to start a fresh thread for them. Please forgive me if you disagree! :) I would love to be able to deploy some of the new AQC-107 cards and have them...

Hi all, I decided to beef up our iPad security by adding the usual social media, gaming and gambling websites as blocked URLs in the Profile Manager's (macOS server) iOS Content Filter settings. I mainly did this as our web filter seems a little unreliable after a massive network upgrade over...

I am running into issues at home with multiple Macs, multiple users, storage issues, and managing updates. I know enough about all of this to be dangerous. What would be the best way to manage all this using Mac server? What I envision is each user being able to use any device (iMac, several...

Hi, I'm setting up my new Mac Mini (2018) as a home file/video/etc server. Old one (2011 server, running OS X 10.13.6) reconnected to Wifi after remote reboot without any problem. New mini unfortunately connects to WiFi only after login which makes it unusable for remote work (I need to reboot...

Hey guys, I'm currently using a very old Mac Pro 1.1 as a server running 10.6.8, it has 4 HDDs that are paired for RAID 1 and they're finally running out of space. I bought 4 new drives and created an identical RAID structure in the hope of using CCC to simply clone the volumes and everything...

I have a 2011 MBP 17 inch that is my full time computer, however I saw a Mac mini for $200.00 so I jumped and bought locally on FaceBook market place. I upgraded the HD to a 960 SSD that I already owned (was used in my MBP and contains the same contents) and it has 8G of ram. Now, I am...

Sometimes there are just too many good options... :P I am developing a plan for a Mac Pro server for a client of mine, and have been planning an SSD RAID5 for the main data store. I was liking this pretty cool solution from MaxUpgrades that situates 4 SAS or SATA SSDs in an optical bay, and...

Hi All, I've been handed the task to get a MacBook useable for an exam, which means restricting it to within an inch of it's life. I'm using Profile Manager on Server (Version 5.1.5) and managed to block out System Preferences and all apps apart from Word. The thing that I'd also like to do is...
