The one thing which I have found about OSX Server...

There IS a group within Apple who supports it and is quite knowledgable. Ho=
wever, they are really hard to reach. They are NOT part of standard "Custom=

They are part of the "Enterprise Group"  or some name like that, and it can=
 take "luck" to get through the telephone folks to someone who recognizes t=
hat they exist.

Two years ago this was their contact information --

Enterprise Support
866-752-7753

I don't know if the number is still valid.
