BennyT3ch, Aweful!!Upgarded to Catalina and now it wont work. Have spent hours and hours trying to remove andinstall this, but keep getting this message 'This version of Server does not support upgrading the Server data on this volume. To upgrade your Server data, you will need to install an older version of Server and OS X.' .Come on Apple. If you cant give an upgarde path give us a way to remove the old profiles and install fresh!
I have trawled numerous web pages and googled for hours! Nothing wortks!! Going to have to nuke my machine now!Update: After wipoing my machine and spending the best part of 4 hours to get Catalina installed and other serbices, I find the VPN service that I use in MacOS Server has been removed!!

Why have you done this. Its a step backwards!
Now trying to revert back to something that will work on a previous OS version. You have effectively ruined my work setup. I cannot work remotely until this has been remedied. Great when we have corona virus!!In the space of an evening you have manged to ruin my view of Apple! Though to be fair with all the issues ive had with Catalina in general, its just put the cherry on the cake.Sort it out! Laplains, Moving BackwardsI am so disapointed with this latest version of this app.
I have been using Server app for several years and have been very happy with it. I first bought it as I was looking for a good File Sharing server app and that was my main motivation as the OS bilt in sharing app is very clumsy to use and hard to read. In the discription of this latest update, it implies that the sharing functionality has bee incorporated into the High Seria OS, This is not true, the sharing functionality has always been in the OS and is no different now as it was several years ago and was the reason I bought Server in the first place. After buying it I made use of the Cashing and Time Machine functionality, all of which have now been removed forcing you to usethe OS versions, NOT WHAT I PAID FOR. I understand that we are being coerced into using cloud based equivalents but I am not comfortable doing this until all of their security issues are resolved so they are 100% secure, Thats never going to happen. If Apple do not restore the File Sharing functionality I will be seeking my money back as the current version is not what I paid for. Holls200, Missing an opportunityI’ve been using OSX/macOS server for many years and it has served me very, very well for home and small business use, allowing me to host mail, Web etc with minimal effort.
Making the complex is what Apple should be about, I would thoroughly recommend this product to anyone in a similar position.The world has changed and users have finally started caring about privacy and ownership of their data: Apple are publicly taking a lead in this but haven’t spotted the role this product plays in allowing their customers to own and control their information. It could also allow them to ship more hardware in the form of a headless Mac Mini/Apple TV-like device to provide a fixed base for the huge numbers of people who use only portable devices for their work and leisure.This is totally the wrong time to kill a great product — enjoy it while it lasts.
