DNS 101 for Mac OS X Leopard Server 10.5 |
 |
 |
 |
DNSI consess to having lots of problems with DNS on Mac OS X Server Leopard 10.5. But thats because its so completely fundamental to a successful install, and subsequent running of a Leopard server that the slightest thing can bust it. So heres how to check its status, and start and stop it from the command line. You'll need this the day you bust your DNS then try to use Server Admin. You can't. It, like most everything else in Mac OS X Server Leopard 10.5, needs DNS to be up. DNS Status
To see summary status of the service:
$ sudo serveradmin status dns dns:state: = "RUNNING"

iPhone: Top Ten: A list including a top ten of applications that didnt get approved In starting a discussion about this on Twitter I thought I would go off and do some research on this topic. Theres quite a list: PC Worlds top ten rejections is: http://www.pcworld.com/article/159887-2/rejected_10_iphone_apps_that_didnt_make_apples_app_store.html - Obama Trampoline
- MyShoe
- I am poor
- The South Park App
- Pull my finger
- iBoobs
- Slasher
- Murderdrome
- Podcaster
- Freedomtime
Other notables: - Netshare
- MailWrangler
- Openfeint
And theres quite a lot of developer calls for a more transparent open process, before money is spend on development, 'pre-approval' for example.

Vista to Mac OS X Server networking |
|
|
|
Vista helpfully upgrades its security for server network connections to a level that platforms other than Windows dont necessarily support. So, to make a connection for example to a share on a Leopard Server equipped Mac you need to change a security policy on the client machines.
- From Start launch the program "secpol.msc"
- Choose Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options
- Select "Network security: LAN Manager authentication level"
- Change the item's setting from "Send NTLMv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated"
- Click OK
- Exit
By default Vista is set to "NTVLMv2 responses only"

Entourage 2008 wont update Exchange Server based inbox anymore |
|
|
|
|
What a crock Entourage 2008 continues to be. I have to use it for clients whos email is only available via Outlook Web Access or MAPI (Entourage doesnt support MAPI, but it does, on a good day, with a following wind, support OWA). But then it just stops. "It must be me I thought – its 2009 after all, mail clients havent 'just stopped' since cc:Mail" Its not me. Entourage has a big ugly database that can it seems decide its had quite enough of its role of storing, indexing and managing emails. There are some fixes, all ugly to my mind. 1) Select the Inbox thats not working anymore, right click to get to the folder properties, click 'empty cache' restart Entourage and wait a *very* long time while it rebuilds or 2) Hold down Option starting Entourage and rebuild, compact and generally maintain your database. You have to ask yourself why in 2009 its necessary to do this. Its bordeing on arcane, and I certainly cant ever remember in recent times having to do this kind of thing with mail.app or with Outlook.
