Currently I use SMB but want to switch to http/https. I am using a Mac running 10.10



Do I have to switch off the SMB shares on the 10.10?



What settings do need setup on the 10.10 to be ready for this?

You still need to leave the SMB settings there to use Casper Imaging and Casper Admin but if you've added in the http details you can use them in policies.


When a policy runs, how does it choose http over SMB?


@tcandela, as long as HTTP or HTTPS is configured on your distribution point(s), you shouldn't have to do anything to the policy to choose it over SMB/AFP. You'd have to specify in the policy if you wanted to force SMB/AFP mounting instead of HTTP.




Oh I see, just select the checkbox 'force file sharing over afp/SMB' to use instead Of http.



Now do I have to configure Apache to get this working?



I see these two tutorials



https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3083

@tcandela This is OSX server right?



Those two guides seem to be for client.


No , straight up 10.10.5 Yosemite, no server version.



Would the two articles help me?



On the second article I simply did the



Sudo apachectl start



Http://localhost



And I got the 'It Works' page


@tcandela maybe.. I've always spent the £30 for Server.app... I have about 25 or so OSX servers running NetBoot, AFP, HTTP & Caching.



If NetBoot or Caching server are of interest/use too, it'll be worse the cost.
