I used to use Leopard Server for my office. We all had accounts on there, and we used iCal and CalDav so we could all subscribe to a few common calendars. It never worked perfectly. But now we don’t use Leopard Server anymore. It just didn’t really help us out very much.

iPowerWeb has sure given us a real hard time over here. It’s like this: we have a client that both purchased and hosts his domain with ipower. He wished to transfer his domain to our registrar, then point the domain at our servers so we can host his site.

Today I had the pleasure of trying out Mac OS X Leopard Server’s awesome new application, Directory. All I wanted to do is setup some shared addresses so everyone in my company can have access to it. Simple. Address Book used to allow this, but it’s been replaced with Directory. I’ve had nothing but bad [...]
