Or >am I thoroughly mistaken on this point? Did things actually get easier? Please define "share information" in precise terms; nobody knows what you mean by it, and thus nobody can answer your questions yet. (IOW, WTF? ;) ) >I have five machines here. Two are small business activities, one of >which is the recently procured server, one powerbook, for use on the >road and one is used for managing the HA, using AS techniques. All >relate to the server for back-ups using AS techniques, or rather the >server relates to them; some daily, others less frequently. Exactly what OS version does each machine run? Numbers, please. >So the server was procured 3 months ago, with AppleCare. By and large, >things were working fine with Mac OS X Server 10.2.4. Then 10.2.5 came >out and suddenly, as with XP, everything s****. Things did not improve >much, if at all, with 10.2.6. It's buggie as all get out. I can't get >back-ups to run. Can't get data to be shared. Can't you reinstall 10.2.4? (instead of cursing the .5/.6 darkness) >Chuck(le) >[Looking for the Penguin....] Last I saw, it was on the TV.
