Hi, It's possible that the keyboard is beginning to fail. It used to be possible to change it out, but I'm guessing that it would be rather difficult to get the part now with how old that machine is. You could connect an external USB keyboard to see if things perform better. That would tell you whether the keyboard on the MacBook is starting to die, or if it's just a speed thing. I have the Server app on my MBP, but mostly just use it to remotely access other servers in our domain. You could have some fun enabling DNS and DHCP to see if you could mess up things at work, just deny it if they figure out that it was you :).

Might be just speed of machine though Yeah still putting a server on a mac book as a notebook is one I’m questioning currently , might be a funny thing to do at work one day when I feel like upsetting the world.

Use them in our Robotics programs for when the High School students go off to the Elementary schools to introduce the littler ones to robotics and coding. They get bogged down in Mavericks but seem to speed back up with El Capitan. I've not tried them with Sierra though. Installing 8 GB of RAM would improve performance a lot in my opinion. Later...

I even had an app for server that I got approx. the same time but no server installation media. I then thought I’d try it with an update to el capitan, same thing no server os available. So it gave me the option to purchase sierra server and as it’s only 29 dollars here in nz, I thought stuff it and I’ve purchased it. I only hope the machine will take the sierra installation It’s installing now a dual core 2.26 GHz processor and currently 4 gb ram, I’ll upgrade that to 8gb tomorrow if I can get to the local store. Interesting what you can do with an old machine. Think this is a 2010 Mac book, The white plastic ones.

You may not see it yet, but once you install Mountain Lion or Mavericks on to the MacBook, and log into the AppStore, that version of Server should still be available to you. Note that I use the word "should". That's my favourite word when helping people with tech sorts of things :). Later...

I have a server version for either Mt Lion or Mavericks, and I know these OS’s will run on the notebook, However how would I go about obtaining the server add in for the OS Is there an apple OS archive somewhere I can access? As I can’t find my old installer file for the server OS package. I also need more ram and once I get the SSD into it I think it will be great.
