    Server RAID5: SAS/SATA vs. NVMe

    Sometimes there are just too many good options... :P I am developing a plan for a Mac Pro server for a client of mine, and have been planning an SSD RAID5 for the main data store. I was liking this pretty cool solution from MaxUpgrades that situates 4 SAS or SATA SSDs in an optical bay, and...

    Disable WiFi with Profile Manager

    Hi All, I've been handed the task to get a MacBook useable for an exam, which means restricting it to within an inch of it's life. I'm using Profile Manager on Server (Version 5.1.5) and managed to block out System Preferences and all apps apart from Word. The thing that I'd also like to do is...

    Hey Folks— I have some 2006 Mac Pro servers running Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 that have done a fantastic job over the years. However, I'm considering upgrading to 10.11 El Capitan (via Pikify app hack) for some improvements in the file sharing service, among other things. We all know this about...

    Server Duty: cMP vs. Mac mini 2018

    I've made no secret of my opinion about the (over)pricing on the new Mac mini in other threads, and my own (personal + consulting company) tally of Mac Pros is now up to 6 :D (1 x 2006, 1 x 2007, 1 x 2008, 2 x 2009 (4,1>5,1), 1 x 2010)...so clearly my thought process is always leaning toward the...

    Mail Server Alternative?

    I'm setting up a new server. And with the death of "OS X Server" aka "Server.app", I've been doing everything by hand. Which isn't that bad at all really. apache config is super intuitive. Setting up a VPN server is very easy too. Configuring `pf` firewall is oddly quirky but has an easy config...

    Install older versions of Server app for Remote Server Management?

    Has anybody figured out how to install an older version of the Server app to remotely manage that server? I reverted my Mini based server to Sierra, but have to use Remote Desktop to manage it instead of the remote function of the Sierra Server app. Quite stupid. -- Harald
