I have used Plex for some time and am getting ready to move it to a WHS HP EX490 once I upgrade its processor to an E5200 in a week or so (basically making it an EX495). (working with Roku) I would advise though that you download the latest version of the software from the Plex site and upload it manually, as the automatic version from the Synology web interface seems to be an older version
These services are all hidden by default in the View menu (again, one assumes, to keep newbies from stumbling onto them), but clicking any of them will cause all of them to show up in Server.app as they normally would in Mountain Lion. Finally, there's now a separate section in Server.app for "Advanced" services, including DHCP, DNS, FTP, NetInstall, Open Directory, Software Update, and Xsan
August 2, 2002 Eric Likness I concur with John Schumacher's thought that the Windows client is sending username and password over the network as soon as you try to connect to the volume from Windows. He said to make sure it resides on the local Windows drive: I cannot say why the files are disappearing (although I have an idea), but the recommended configuration (the only way, really) for a .PST file is to have it locally on the local drive

See Setting Up an iOS 7 On-Demand VPN for the details (it's way too much stuff to post via MacOSXHints, as much as I've been a fan of this site for many years). I find that the confirm-faces interface is a faster way to find new faces than the Find Faces feature and I was methodically going through each face album to find new faces this way before I discovered the smart album trick mentioned above
The price reduction for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Server will make it compelling for more small businesses as well as curious non-business owners who want to be able to test out server functionality without investing in dedicated hardware or software. OS X is at the point where it is a mature operating system and the addition of new features has to make sense in an overall strategy and cannot be done just to warrant a new release
Apple OS X Server: How to set up Open Directory - TechRepublic
One can accept the defaults or create your own, just don't forget the credentials since it will be the network equivalent to the local computer's admin account. With OD properly configured, management over computer accounts, users and groups, and network-based resources are all possible from the Server.app interface
If you have to do a lot of extensive print sharing, consider keeping your print server at version 10.6, and let Apple know you really need better print serving capabilities to upgrade fully to Lion Server. Apache provides the back end for the Web UI in things like Profile Manager; you need it for the Wiki service, file sharing for iOS devices, and other services
Delivering Profiles Once created, profiles can be delivered to users and computers or iOS devices in a number of ways: Via the User Portal where users log in to the portal with their account credentials and they are presented with the profiles assigned to them. You could use the certificate that was automatically generated when you configured your server to manage network accounts, but you first need to configure devices to trust that certificate
Virtual private network (VPN) access enables your offsite users to securely connect to your network and its services, while preventing access by unauthorized individuals
Pro tip: Setting up Profile Manager in OS X Server - TechRepublic
However, if planning to use PM as an MDM server, a 3rd-party SSL certificate is required, and that certificate must be selected instead, before clicking Next to proceed (Figure F).Figure FClick the Finish button to complete saving the changes (Figure G).Figure GOnce you've returned to the PM pane, check the box beside Sign configuration profiles if you wish to encrypt the trust profiles (Figure H).Figure HIf checked, you'll be prompted to select either the self-signed certificate or a 3rd-party SSL certificate. Also, click on the arrow next to Open Profile Manager to verify that the URL to PM is resolving correctly (Figure J).Figure JIt can be said that Apple's Profile Manager is similar to Microsoft's Group Policy in that they both implement lockdown settings and application deployment in a networked environment
Lion Server - Profile Manager - Apple Support
About Profile Manager Profile Manager makes it easy to configure your user's Mac OS X Lion computers and iOS devices so they're set up to use your company or school resources and so they have the settings your organization requires
The query will *not* be sent to the next DNS server in the list ! I do not understand why this is so because it would make sense to pass the query on to the next DNS server. This can be the certificate provided when Open Directory is initially configured, which is self-signed, or you can select a certificate that you have installed using a CSR from a 3rd party provider
Saving these two profiles to a Mac OS X computer then allows you to automatically enroll devices into Profile Manager using Apple Configurator, as shown in this previous article. This can be the certificate provided when Open Directory is initially configured, which is self-signed, or you can select a certificate that you have installed using a CSR from a 3rd party provider
