Hello,
I updated one of my test VMs today and to my suprised... Nothing changed at all. All the files in server.app looked exactly the same. Weren't a bunch of useful features I missed from 10.6 supposed to be back at my disposal???
I would appreciate anyone's input if they have updated and are enjoying the new "features"
Thanks!
Enjoying wouldn't be the word I would use. Getting used to it is more like it. There are a few things that I like, but a lot of things that drive me bonkers. Switching bettween three apps to get the job done is quite annoying, though.
Uhhhhh, maybe I am not being clear? I looked in the server.app under file sharing and found NONE of the following things that should have been updated. I see no expanded features nor anything new. Can you take a screenshot of any of the following??
I upgrade three of my servers with no change.
"To start, the Server app has received numerous interface improvements, which reveal added functionality. The File Sharing pane now displays the number of users connected via AFP and SMB and has a new Connected Users tab that displays details about those connections (user name and idle time for AFP, and client IP and connection type for both AFP and SMB). That tab also enables admins to send messages to AFP-connected users and to disconnect them, with or without a message. Lastly, admins can create a greeting that will be displayed to users who connect via AFP."
I have this after running the update:
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe, all three of my servers did not get any of that functionality!!!!!!! And they are fully up to date with both 10.7.3 and also the additional server admin tools.
I tried deleting the preferences and a couple other things. What version does your Server.app list as under GET Info?
Here's what mine looks like:
Edit Greeting:
I really don't see anything new. I mean this stuff was all in 10.6 under Server Admin. It's just been incorperated in to the Server.app. I don't think that there really are any new wiz-bang features. Just handy things that were already present in older OSes.
One other thing. Are you currently on the server itself, or are you on a remote management machine? If you're on a remote management machine, you'll need to copy the server.app from the Applications folder on your server to your Applications forlder on your management machine.
Oh and the fact that my Stats are now working properly is a big plus!!!
Interesting, my server.app still says 10.7.0. I think I know what the problem is. Thank you for the help everyone.
Yea I am not really looking forward to anything new. I just like you want my original funcitonality back that was removed.
Now I wish they would also add back IP failover with heartbeat/failover. ***?
nei0angei0 How did you fix the issue? I have the same issue where I am still showing 10.7.0 after the 10.7.3. server combo update?
I am seeing none of the new features promised either. Please share your fix 🙂
did you run the combined update, or through software update?
Let's just say if any of the the Server.app package content has been compromised or tweak then the update won't properly take.
Technically when you upgraded to 10.7.2, your server app should have updated to 10.7.2.
If you are still on 10.7.0 for server.app, you should delete your server.app, and then redownload it from the app store.
Catch my drift?
Thanks....
I opened up the app store, and updated it. all fixed.
Thanks
🙂
New File sharing Pane?? 10.7.3
