| Feb 28 at 2:17 | comment | added | PC Luddite | @Frog Windows has never required a reinstall to change an ip. Like fraxinus said, the most it ever required was a reboot (and even that it's no longer necessary) | |
| Feb 27 at 23:36 | comment | added | manassehkatz-Moving 2 Codidact | @Mark and Frog - The last time I had to change IP address on a Linux server (today), it took me a few minutes of Googling to find the right file and get it done. And no reboot. | |
| Feb 27 at 22:55 | comment | added | Raffzahn | @RobbieGoodwin Not sure what you're asking about. Please specify why you're addressing me and about what. | |
| Feb 27 at 21:15 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | @Raffzahn Are you distinguishing between take-up in general, and take-up within the Apple community? | |

| Feb 27 at 12:40 | comment | added | Alan B | Windows Server has not required a reboot to do that for a very long time. At worst restarting the Netlogon service is enough. | |
| Feb 27 at 10:12 | comment | added | JeremyP | Just a clarification: are you talking about the OS X Server operating system or the Apple rack mounted Xserves? | |
| Feb 27 at 8:13 | comment | added | fraxinus | @Frog Windows always required a reboot at worst | |
| Feb 27 at 5:11 | comment | added | Frog | @Mark last time I wanted to change the IP address on a Windows server (admittedly a while back) best practice was pretty much the same | |

| Feb 27 at 3:02 | comment | added | Mark | Apple never really got the hang of servers. For example, for the first four versions of OSX Server, the approved method for changing the IP address was to format and re-install. | |

| Feb 26 at 17:13 | comment | added | manassehkatz-Moving 2 Codidact | My suspicion is that the Apple surcharge is largely irrelevant on servers - with regular Macs, and even more so with laptops, the look & feel/style/ease of use (generally) is worth something. With servers, not so much. | |

| Feb 26 at 16:07 | comment | added | Raffzahn | "Apple Workgroup Server and the Apple Network Server never gained widespread use and popularity" is that so? It might be quite helpful if you could support your strong claim with some information/data. Possibly some taking the limited nature of their target audience into account | |
