Q: Lion Server does it work?
Is it me or is Lion Server the most user unfriendly piece of junk launched by apple in years? I am no idiot but am a MAC virgin having moved from PCs and WHS only recently. I have issues with ACL / permissions being corrupted (my 2.0TB WD ext hard drive gets trashed with server on) - no Wiki or Profile Manager - directories not working - no VPN and when it (the server) does seem to work - it crashes for no apparent reason. As for iCAl and email - that's a joke...I have a new 27 iMAC and the latest software and since installing the server app I have had to get a thumb drive to rebuild my iMAC when that too failed to restart (no doubt keychain was corrupted?). And, what is going on between server and server admin - do they not speak to each other? There are no bugs, the native system is clean and it works well - without server running. Is there an idiots guide devoid of MAC acronyms and Apache code that can take me through a simple set up without the need for a PhD in Apache?? The blogs are really useful and enterprise support is good - to the point of not being able to solve some of the complex set up issues. Until I know what can be going wrong I do not want to start playing with Terminal. Bill Gates forgive me....I was misled by my siblings and tempted by shiny baubles !!!!!
