Using Server Admin Tools on Lion Client to Snow Leopard Server

Please help - I am new at servers and have my mac mini running snow leopard server and finally got it all set up - now I want to admin the server from my macbook pro laptop


I checked the compatibility guide (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1822) in apples docs and it states you can use Server admin tools 10.7.X on a Lion client for a SNS but when I launch server admin or work group manager and try to use them on my laptop to my server here is what console shows:


11/24/11 10:18:46.127 PM [0x0-0x5b05b].com.apple.ServerAdmin: Server Admin: OpenScripting.framework - scripting addition "/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax" declares no loadable handlers.

11/24/11 10:24:06.582 PM Pages: Initializer-based scripting additions are no longer supported. "/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax" not loaded.



It looks like its boiling down to no mathcing architecture ? im guessing is a compatabiltiy problem - I have underlined in console paste above what I am focusing in on


Anyone have a workaround or having similar problem ?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1), 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/4GB RAM/

What you're trying to do here works; 10.7.2 can use its Server Admin and related tools to manage remote boxes running Mac OS X Server 10.6.8. That works.


As for that console dump, that looks to involve a pile of Adobe stuff that's getting its knickers in a tangle and disrupting Server Admin in the process. That Adobe thread references an Adobe fix for 10.6 that might (also) apply here. If not, it's a starting point.

So glad its you Mr. Hoffman - your guides are most helpful - thank you so much for what you do.


I did some digging and found out that since im running CS4 and that it trys to run on 64 bit mode but my Lion system and most folks systems I guess are in 32 bit mode - i had to down load some 32 bit Adobe Unit Types from Adobe and replace the ones on my system - restart - and bingo - im no longer getting those errors - see this link where i found this work around:


http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/516/cpsid_51615.html


That fix cleared a lot of the junk that adobe was doing but i am still getting error 1101 - see below

Lion is 64-bit, running on a 64-bit processor, and can run both 32- and 64-bit software.


What's your Open Directory configuration? Any replicated OD servers?


Do you have different Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server configurations and different releases in use?


Was the LAN DNS stable and tested before the rest of the services were activated?
