Outstanding Yuma and very good info. I'd say overall things are running pretty
smooth considering I did a partial migration. I did not pull everything over
and I'm seeing fewer "busy" messages. Well except with Server Admin, but I
think it is actually doing something albeit a bit slow. :)

Well actually, if you tried it on a system that's been running for a while,
you'll see that a lot of little things fix themselves and the speed is
relatively increased. Downside being restoring all the preferences to your
like, especially voice over prefs which to me are the majority. Also, any
Hmmm, now that is a rather interesting idea. Blowing everything away sounds
like it would take a little work since I'm sure there is stuff scatter in a few
places. :)
ALthough a fine idea to get things sorted. WGM is certainly working a bit
better for me. Btw, the WGM REmote app you referred to.
Ok, sounds like calling is a good alternative.
I figured that isolating the culprit by identifying its process and deleteing
the relevant plist helps a great deal each time. If you can't isolate it, you
can also delete all the preferences, however that means everything would have
to be reconfig
Hey Yuma, I have not had any problems with the Server app crashing yet. I did
find a really weird problem when trying to edit the host name of my machine and
setup the interface. Trying to click apply caused that button and the cancel
button to go dim and I could not do a damned thing. Server di
Thanks and that is pretty much what I thought as well. I think I can trust
myself for the most part. :)

Not really of use unless you're encrypting banking stuff, personal e-commerce

Hey Yuma the drag and drop ain't working, so I might just have to try that app.

that someone at APple mislabeled a couple of buttons in the WGM application. :)

Yuma,
Thanks for the info. I am having a bit of trouble trying to get people
associated with a particular group, which may just be something I'm doing
wrong, but I suspect it is more the interface. :) I did find the Workgroup
Manager Remote app, but there seems to be a couple of Server Admin ap
Hey Scott,
Yes both server admin and workgroup manager are available as 3rd party
iphone/ipad apps from which you can monitor, configure limited ammounts of
settings (for server admin) and most importantly quickly and easily create
users and groups in the workgroup manager app. This way all is
Hey Scott,
There was a method for specifically opening the users and groups pop up window
and select them around but i haven't used it since i use the workgroup manager
app on my iphone.
However you can probably try voice over's drag and drop?
Best regards,
Yuma

Oh and one other thing I meant to ask you is about your note below. Are you
saying that third-party apps exist for the iOS platform that allow for managing
users and groups? That is quite interesting if that is the case or perhaps I
misunderstood and you are saying that you can use WGM to manage
Hey Yuma,
Is there an easy way to add users to a group? I cannot drag users or groups, so
there surely is an easier way and any info appreciated.
Thanks,

Hey CB,
Well actually if I could work with the dynamic addressing issues I could in
fact run servers. However, I just for grins tried setting up an account with
DYN and never could get a confirmation e-mail, so I seriously do not think I

You might also check out the SLA with your service provider. Usually if
you have a consumer connection using DHCP to assign you some random IP
address they have clauses in the contract that say you can't host
servers or somesuch. Around here going with a commercial account from

Hey TIm,
THanks for the reply and that is a very curious problem.
The only reason why I wanted to know about waking machines up via the ethernet

machines on the network that may not be awake. I was also curious because t
Hi Scott,
For #3, I never let my servers go to sleep anyway. I'm pretty sure that this
is the default behaviour as well but I'm not positive. I simply make sure that
the computer never goes to sleep and that the display sleeps in a specific
amount of time, thus, there's always quick and relia
Hi Yuma.
I haven't noticed that server prefs wasn't accessible but maybe we're talking
about different server prefs.
There is an icon on my dock for server preferences and when opened, it'll allow
me access to the more basic settings such as the server firewall, basic file
sharing settings, serv
Hi,
I agree. Static IP is the way to go. It's far more reliable and much less
hassle in the long run. With respect to MCX preferences and such, I've found
it much easier to use WGM than Terminal. I'm just not good enough at the
Terminal to dig as deep as needed to perform these tasks using

Goo point and I have not entirely decided, but seems the extra cost is pretty

Scott,
This means you got to forward all vpn ports to the machine via a dynamic ip.
It's fine for you to have a domain name but it needs to be constantly updated
as your isp will change it anytime it demands for it. SO you either have to

Hey Scott,
That was 3 questions :)
Let me try to answer them as precisely as can be:
1- User preferences as in managed preferences via the MCX compositor, or more
commonly known as the workgroup manager's user preferences. All of the managed
preferences window is inaccessible since i first sta
Oh yes, i forgot that important part :) Server admin and WGM are your
companions there for many basic configs for all services. They also work pretty
well on the IOS version though being developed by a third party.

TIm,
THanks you answered some of the questions I asked, so saves Yuma. :) I did find
the Admin tools, but will have to look for the other tools.

short, but essentially I wanted to look at the possibility of setting up

Yeah you know me and I should probably know the answer; however, been to long

local users?

Lion is Lion and the server stuff is basically just a purchase add-on, so it

Thanks for the feedback;
