Oct 23, 2013 12:14 AM in response to OriginaliTeamby psxndc,Hey man - I hope you were able to solve this because I've had this exact problem - finder crashes connecting to a mac mini running server - for about two months and it was driving me CRAZY. BUT, I just managed to fix it (based on an article I found at: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/finder.html)
Delete the Finder preferences using Terminal by:
Open Terminal, located in the Applications > Utilities folder.
Delete the primary Finder preferences file:
At the Terminal prompt, type the following command exactly as written
- rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Press Return.
Now delete the preferences for the Finder Sidebar:
At the Terminal prompt, type the following command exactly as written:
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Press Return.
Restart the computer
Empty the Trash.
Hoped this helped you, and all credit is due to the XLab guy/girl.

Nov 11, 2013 11:04 AM in response to psxndcby no1tmorrow,So I tried the deleting preferences with no luck. What is strange is it will lock up the finder on my Macs but the windows machines can access it just fine. Any thoughts? I have looked through the logs but have not found anything useful (but then again not a log expert, yet).
Thanks
Thom

Apr 22, 2014 10:25 AM in response to psxndcby EstebanW,I have the same problem at a customer installation.
One of the workstations started crashing when clicking on the server name link on the side bar.
I followed psxndc recommendations and it worked.
Thanks !
Cheers
Esteban
