I am wondering if anyone has successfully downgraded an xserve 2008 from Lion, Mtn Lion or Mavericks back to Snow Leopard Server os x 10.6? What was your reason? What steps did you take? Did it solve any problems or create new ones? Is Apple still releasing security patches for 10.6 server such as the recent SSL/TLS security problem?
Xserve, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 2008
Yes I've done this a number of times and the reasons were mostly for the customer's benefit - (I don't like the way it looks etc). Never solved any problems as there were none in the first place and neither did it create any new ones. I've not seen any security updates for 10.6 for a while now (September 2013 was the last one I think?) although with Apple you never know?
There is a support article listing information about their Security Updates you may find more helpful?
PS: I've noticed you've replied to a number of posts I've also replied to. Unfortunately you've made the reply to me rather than the OP. It's not that important but for reasons of clarity it's best your reply is for the OP rather than other contributors. Thanks!
