14 DAY TRIAL // Apple’s revision to the Mac OS X Server 10.6.4 update is recommended for all servers currently running Snow Leopard Server version 10.6, according to a Support document recently posted by the company. The package includes Safari 5 and general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your server, Apple said.
As usual, specific changes are mentioned, such as: CalDAV querying of email addresses with Active Directory and Open Directory servers; stability and reliability accessing Wiki Server pages; view movies on Wiki Server with Safari on iPad; accessing publicly accessible Wikis when logged in to the Wiki Server; listing blogs on Wiki Server; vacation mail notices that span across multiple days; updates from Software Update Server viewable by clients; stability and reliability to Software Update Server synchronization; downloading of software updates by Software Update Server; creating NetInstall images which include iLife updater packages; address issues copying, renaming, or deleting files on SMB file servers; improve reliability of VPN connections.
Detailed information about the update is provided in an updated knowledge base article on Mac OS X Server updates. There, Apple reveals that additional improvements include the security fixes implemented in Mac OS X 10.6.4, Safari 5 and the newest iTunes, as well as all other improvements delivered in the client Mac OS X v10.6.4 Update.
The document in question also lists improvements for the Wiki Services. Those marked "v1.1 only" are delivered in the Mac OS X Server v10.6.4 Update v1.1, according to Apple. Those who’ve installed the original Mac OS X Server v10.6.4 Update, or the Mac OS X Server v10.6.4 Update for Mac mini (Mid 2010), can get the v1.1 improvements by simply applying the Wiki Server Update 1.0 for Mac OS X Server v10.6.4. Apple is providing it as a free download on a separate Support page.
