Q: Server 5.1.5 RIP - 10.6.8 Server FTW!
Not sure if anyone else have had as many issues as I've had with server since 10.7 and the "Server App" rolled around.
Used and still using 10.6.8 Server in our environment and stable as **** compared to anything beyond 10.6.8 Server. I've upgraded to a new 6 Core MacPro running all the latest of everything and just have had no luck. It's proven to afford more headaches than solutions.. I've actually had to revert back to one of our old xServe's running 10.6.8 Server to have staff be able to work again. Ironic that a fraction of the hardware spec and 5 OS version back is working perfect. File browsing and over all connection to the server just degrades during the day and comes to a complete stand still close to the end of the day. This issue cause major crashes on the end users machines and finder freezes.
I wish Apple would consider people like myself being the Sys Admin for a company and have religiously used Apple for more than a decade
Bring back the Standalone Server OS!! if not give us a compiled version only containing the needed bits without the bloat of the end user experience.
Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)
