What's crazy is Apple has to use all Apple computers at their head quaters in Silicon Valley. Right? Probably like a whole fleet. So they have Macs in a office/work environment, but laugh at everyone else that wants server funcitonality? Do they hoenstly use the integrated services to run all their Macs?

Totally useless, they removed the VPN Server

You will still find many "how to setup an VPN server" on a mac, but it does not work anymore.

Once amazing, now just minimal features w/ issues

Went to launch the app, it says I need to update. I go to the app store to update and it says I need to install an older version of Server and OS X. I honestly don't need to save any data on this test server, but it won't let me download a catelina version until I downgrade my OS, then update server, then update my OS.... which seems counter intuitive. When I just try to strait download the app, it says I need Big Sur..... which I can't do to recommendations from other applications as they are behind Apple. Apple was once cutting edge, but now they are just cutting. I hope they come around. I've used Mac Server since the Mac 10.4 days and for the most (not every) part it did the job and did it well. It could have grown to out perform larger alternatives if they kept putting development resources in it. I understand it's not a money maker but it's a valuable asset and helps Apple's own engineers understand the corporate environment of their client machines, data management, and traffic flow. I'll keep my fingers crossed in the meantime.

CRAP

Apple continues to make this Server software broken. They fix nothing. This software is only useful for setting up iPad for networks. None of the Network Account functionality works. We don't want Apple managed IDs just for employees and students to use one app.

Sad day

When iDisk became iCloud, we were hopeful this would mean a growth of OS X Server to be like intranet/local version of iCloud for businesses. This would have been perfect for us. Rather, Apple has brutally killed the services offered by their Server over the past few years, leaving long-term users stuck ( we haven’t upgraded from 10.13.6 as we look for solutions )

This app went from Amazing, to trash

this app used to be an entire amazing operating system, but now it is the worst app on the app store.

This is a joke

I purchased server to be file server for all of my computers. This is something that I had with Windows server. MacOS Server stripped all the functionality in lew of iCloud services. I have non profit financial files, media server files and others. These files cannot be on iCloud as when we do events, we have limited to no access to the internet. So we oped for a closed, wired network for the main stage files. We need to have instant access to these files for a live event. THe older version of server was awesome. Now, I wouldn't touch it with a 7 foot poll. Do not buy this program. it will not work for what the majority of the people looking for a server will need.

Sad to see Sever Go...

It looks like Server is finished, My 2012 Mini Server was gettig a little old anyway so I’ve moved onto a Synology box. Sad to have to leave the OSX platform for file sharing and VPN services along with some of the other cool features, but that’s just the way it goes some times. Bummer.
