President’s Letter

continued on page 3

The month of May has come and gone and it has been a wonderful

month around my household. Dolores has a new 2.66GHz iMac and I

have a new educational tool in my shop, a 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Mac mini with 4GB RAM and OS-X Server 10.5 (10 user) installed, as

it’s operating system. So far I am in love with the Server OS and it’s

features. In fact, I am sure the OS-X Server subject will be the

majority of next months Presidents Letter.

This is my second attempt at June’s Presidents Letter. My original

article was very harsh towards Apple Support. After having time to

reﬂect on the whole picture I think I have a good life story with lessons

for all of us.

I have a client with a very busy dual G5 server and he wanted to

upgrade the OS to 10.5 Server (unlimited licenses). I called Apple

Server support and they led me to believe I could successfully install

OS-X Server 10.5 over the top of OS-X Client 10.5. A seemingly

knowledgeable Apple phone tech named Tony told me to clone my

primary HD with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and then use a

little trick from the Terminal application. Tony had me start Terminal

while the OS-X Server install DVD was in the computer-then he had

me type CD followed by a space-then he said to drag the install DVD

to the Terminal window and hit return. By golly that worked well and I

could see all the visible & invisible directories by using the “ls”

command. Then Tony had me type, “open System” and hit the return

key. This was great as System was an invisible folder and the

aforementioned command opened System in a normal Macintosh GUI

window. Lastly, Tony instructed me to click on and install Mac OSX

Server install.mpkg. Everything seemed normal and the install went

by quickly. But a few days go by and we try and connect a laptop to

the server via FireWire 800 and that failed, so we tried FireWire 400

and that failed? Then as I was diagnosing the problem I tried a couple

of USB devices and they too failed? So believing Apple Support

would walk me through the ﬁx I called Apple Server support and was

ﬂatly told there was no record of me talking to a Technician named

Tony and Apple will absolutely not support OS-X Server if it was

installed from the command line. I argued that I did not use the

command line for anything other than opening the invisible folder and
