Change DNS settings in Solaris 11

Where do I need to go to change the DNS settings on a Solaris 11 server?

I'd like to refer you to the documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1455/dnsref-31.html#dnsref-36
Settings are handled through the SMF repository, using the "svccfg -s network/dns/client" command.
If this does not give you the answer you are looking for, then I recommend viewing the rest of the document.

Changing DNS settings and OD accounts

We were having problems with our server, and found that it was because of DNS settings. We now have a FQDN, but nobody can log on. How do I import the users and groups to the new domain?

Check to make sure that your DNS is set up properly.
In terminal:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
Also... Have you bound the clients to the server? You have to do this in the System Preferences under Accounts in 10.6 and higher.
It's in the Directory Utility in 10.5
Once the client computers are bound to the server, you can start creating your User list in Workgroup Manager.
Unfortunately, there isn't a super easy way to automate this. You have to set up your groups, set up your group preferences (if you want any), add your users, and apply them to the groups.
There are some tricks to making this easy, ie set up a user template... That way all you have to do is type the user names and passwords (if you want them).

Changing DNS settings via /usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl

I am trying to correct a DNS problem on my Snow leopard server install and was instructed by an Apple engineer to use /usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl to globally search and replace on the system to change all instances of the DNS name.
I checkout the man page for changedirdata and it seems pretty straightforward. However, when I try to run it I get the following error:
sudo sh /usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl -i -s <MY SERVER IP> -u diradmin -o <OLD DNS NAME> -n <NEW DNS NAME>
/usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl: line 3: use: command not found
/usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl: line 4: use: command not found
/usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl: line 5: `use Net::LDAP::Constant qw( LDAPCONTROLPAGED );'
Is there something up with Perl here?

it's a perl file, and should be an executable.
get rid of the sh
run it like this
sudo /usr/libexec/changeDirData.pl -i -s <MY SERVER IP> -u diradmin -o <OLD DNS NAME> -n <NEW DNS NAME>

TS2296 For around 10 days, people cannot access my website on Mac/ipad. Be it safari or any other browser unless they change DNS settings.

All other access on PC or mobile is FINE, but through Mac or iPad it just doesn't work.
Nothing has changed behind the scenes, there are no error logs, and everything was previously fine. Has there been some sort of security update recently that could have caused this? How can we rectify something that we have had no notification of?

Here's a recent update I had from a member of ours...
Right..here's the latest. It worked while I was abroad, that's on a MacBook Air OSX 10.9.3. What it didn't do was refer the site to my favourites page...I had to type the website into the search every time. Now I'm home it won't work on Safari on the MacBook, but will work on Firefox albeit excruciatingly slowly. (I'm on Sky's ISP at home)
It still refuses to come up on my Mac PC on either Safari or Chrome. There is just one other website that is also giving problems and that is Sky super 6 that will come up but refuses to let me log on. Oh!...and I don't have any problems getting the site up on my phone which uses the same Sky WiFi as both my Apple tools.
Hope this helps.

How do I change the DNS settings to BC but keep the MX setting for emails?

How do I change the DNS settings to Business Catalyst but keep the MX settings for emails?
I'm basically created anew site using Muse and want to host it on BC and upgraded to the Web basics + to allow for hosting of downloadable pdf's etc.
There are up to 50+ emails address set up on the current set up and I want to just change the NDS settings for the domain to ponit to the new site/hosting an not have to worry about them chaning all the meail settings etc.
Records do I need to change in BC?
Thanks
Iain

Hi,
You shouldn't need to do anything as long as you do not state hosting email with BC. Just ensure to check you DNS in a lookup tool that it's still referencing your external email service.
Otherwise you can set up external email set-up if the option is present.

Changing Upstream DNS settings

I have an Xserve running OS X Server 10.4.11 and want to change the upstream DNS setting form my ISP's to OpenDNS. The DNS settings in Server Admin don't seem to provide this option and from what I've read, the system Network DNS setting must point to the internal DNS server.
I've read some reports that advocate editing /etc/named.conf but the exsiting file is very sparse and doesn't contain any forwarder entries.
Where the heck are these things set?
- Tim

Thanks Antonio
The Server Admin settings for 10.4 DNS are significantly different than 10.3.9 but the basic info is similar. Everything I read says I must edit the /etc/named.conf file and add the forwarders, but my named.conf file has no forwarder entries yet my DNS server DOES query my ISP's DNS for outside addresses. This must be set somewhere ... but where?
This is all there is in the named.conf file
// Declares control channels to be used by the rndc utility.
// This must be enabled on Mac OS X Server for Server Status to provide valid
// information! (Remove the leading slashes to enable.)
// ** STUFF YOU MIGHT NEED TO ENABLE **
controls {
// unix "/var/run/ndc" perm 0600 owner 0 group 0;
As you can see, there is none of the stuff you would expect, so it must be being done elsewhere.

DNS settings change when restoring image

Situation: In one of our computers we changed the DNS settings from static
to dynamic (DNS through DHCP). We checked these settings and they worked.
When restoring the image on a other computers the settings are back to
static. How is this possible? We have tried all but we can't find the
sollution.
Thanks,

Our company recently has changed our DNS settings to our network which has resulted in many of our iPhone users not being able to access Outlook mail on their phones. Any ideas out there?

Our company has recently changed our DNS settings for our network mail server, and upgraded our SBS to 2010 Microsoft Exchange. Since that change, most of our iPhone users have not been able to acquire e-mail from our mail server. We have three exceptions are 3GS and 4 phones. Any ideas???

Speak to your exchange & DNS administrators at your company.
It is likely a configuration issue on the server/network side. Event/IIS logs are key on your SBS.

How do I change the settings for the DNS server on...

I am connected to the network but I can't access the internet unless I change the DNS servers, I can see the IP address, gateway and DNS settings but there doesn't seem to be anyway to edit them. Please help! I don't want to have to return the phone.

Change DNS server settings

Hi All, When I log into my router I can not find on any of the tabs where to change my DNS sever any ideas? Thanks Debbie

Just came across this when looking for a way to change the server settings as I use my Sky Router as a backup measure (i.e. it's set up, ready to go, but for the moment, just serves the internet over one of the Ethernet ports via a better router and wireless network in my house). Anyway, as there doesn't seem to be a way to sort the DNS settings on the router itself, I would suggest the following to those who are looking to use OpenDNS (which is why I'm looking to do it). Disable the Wireless network on your Sky Box and plug in a cable DSL router (i.e. a router that doesn't have ADSL on it, but has an ethernet internet port for connecting to a router - or one that has that ability (some have multiple options to allow for failsafe - but anyway)). Google "wireless cable DSL router" and look in the shopping section for an idea of them. Setup the new router as per the manufacturers instructions and connect the new router to the Sky Box by the ethernet port. Now, assuming you've turned off the Wireless on the Sky Router (found under setup on the Sky router interface (192.168.0.1 from your computer normally unless you've changed it)) when you connect up the new router, this should be the only thing that is supplying internet into your home and you should be able to change the DNS settings on the router (make sure of this before you buy it just in case, but most of them you can do) and that way anything that is passed through the new router, even when it heads out on the Sky connection will use the new DNS settings. Ok, so it's a bit of a hassle and might cost you £20-£30, but if it's to use OpenDNS or such services for the protection of your family when browsing online, it's money well spent IMHO. Of course, if Sky had any nouce about them, they would simply give an option to use either their own DNS servers or the OpenDNS servers, even if they don't allow full customisation of them, especially with all the recent news about eSafety for people at home. It would just make a lot of sense as far as I see. There are some routers out there now which fully intergrate with the OpenDNS service (Google OpenDNS Router to find some examples - a lot of NetGear ones now do - just makes it easier if you're a bit green on the techy front, though OpenDNS offer a lot of assistance and walk throughs on their own site too.

DNS Settings have Changed with Snow Leopard Update

Before I upgraded to SL, I was able to append a DNS server to the list of servers that my MacBook Pro acquired from the DHCP server. This way, I didn't have to manually edit my DNS settings all the time when I was in the office and wanted to access our lab network by name. Now after the upgrade, I have to remove all manually entered DNS servers before it will use the DNS servers given to it by the DHCP server. Is there a way that I can always append my lab DNS server to the list given to me by DHCP?
Thanks,
John

I am on or office wireless network which handles the DHCP lease and DNS addressing, but I am an engineer in the office and access the lab often and we have another DNS server in the lab to handle all of the lab network. The Sales folk don't need access to the lab so the DHCP server doesn't give out the lab dns server... I would like to access the lab via name, not IP, so I need the lab DNS server on my list of servers. If I can't append this to the DHCP list, I have to manually add all three every time I am in the office. I am frequently out at customer/vendor sites and use thier wireless, so I get thier DNS list.
Short answer is I need our lab DNS server on the list and frequently move from network to network... I want it to work the way it was before the "upgrade", which wasn't much of an "upgrade" if it breaks this. I want my Leopard back.

Changing IP address in Solaris 10 different from Sol 9?

I recently needed to change the IP address of 2 new Solaris 10 Sparc boxes. I made the normal changes
/etc/hosts
/etc/hostname.bge0
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/netmasks
/etc/nodename &
/etc/defaultrouter
(why can't we get these into one file?)
But when rebooted, the server still remembered its old IP address and settings even though I couldn't grep that IP anywhere. I eventually had to do a sys-unconfig which I was hoping to avoid. Is there some other way to change an IP in solaris 10?

Here's the step that I use whenever I'm stuck and it usually works. As I'm still learning now, these may be easy steps and you may have been already done these.
"Static to DHCP IP Address"
First unplumb
# ifconfig e1000g0 unplumb
Then Plumb (probably IP will become like 0.0.0.0)
# ifconfig e1000g0 plumb
Use dhcp
# ifconfig e1000g0 dhcp primary
Check on IP address
Should have an IP address from your dhcp server by now.
# ifconfig -a
and
# ifconfig e1000g0 dhcp status
"Configure DNS client"
Edit "nsswitch.conf" file
go to /etc
# more /etc/nsswitch.conf
# vi /etc/nsswitch.conf
and add "dns" on hosts
hosts: files dns
go to /etc and see if the file is already there or not
# more /etc/resolv.conf
If it's not created yet, then create one.
# vi /etc/resolv.conf
domain domain.com
nameserver 0.0.0.1
search domain.com
Then ping should work with both ip address and domain name.
For Manual IP
First unplumb
# ifconfig e1000g0 unplumb
Then assign an IP and make sure that you are using the right IP address if you are in the network.
#ifconfig e1000g0 plumb 192.168.100.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
Check if it's updated
#ifconfig -a
If you still can't get the right ip address, then something is up. Oh, make sure that your Ethernet cable is connected or not defective. It happened to me once.
Hope this would help someone.

Can not receive Mac mail -error Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct. Account name: "MacMail"

Can not receive Mac mail -error Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct. Account name: "MacMail"
What are the correct mail account settings and more importantly the correct DNS settings
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide
Cheers

Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

Change active Partition in Solaris 10

No DNS settings when using built-in (hardwired) ethernet

Iv'e never had an issue with wireless operation, but now that a wired connection is necessary, I've run into something strange.
When connecting to a LAN with a DHCP source providing IP, router, DNS settings and more, the ibook fails to populate the DNS settings. I've got a valid IP and gateway address but no DNS servers are defined. I can put them in manually, but that would require me to change them each time I connect to a different wired network instead of relying on DHCP to do it's job.
Has anybody else seen this issue?

If (as you say "is the case") this is a small, Netgear cable router...then the Netgear will be acting as DNS server. Likely the Netgear is getting a dynamic IP address from ISP, or it's been set with static values the ISP has told the homeowner to enter into the Netgear. Either way, DNS will be provided to Netgear, and the Netgear should be sending the DNS on down to the client computers.
(Do you "see" any DNS server info in the Configuration panel when you're on wireless? If so, what IP address is that DNS server?)
Why does it work wireless, but not cabled?
You really need to go into SystemPreferences>Network>Configure...and tell us what you have configured in the eth0, or built-in Ethernet section.
It might not be a bad idea to reboot the mac after you plug in ethernet...probably not needed, but we don't know enough about your network settings.
You also say you can't access sites by name. Can you hit a website using an IP address in the Safari addressBar?
