Changing DNS

I am setting up a home network and new to server.
In the initial setup I started to perform server auto configured my DNS nicely.
My server is a DNS server also.
But now I bought a domain name for the family and was thinking of using that domain name.
How would I change the DNS?

I found this, it may help. I think your on track with the changeip.
http://www.afp548.com/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=22822
And then I believe this will work.
sudo changeip - 192.0.0.12 192.0.1.10 oldhost newhost
But what I'd do is go
man changeip
In the terminal to bring up the manual, because it does depend on the role of the server how you change the information.
LDAP Master would be like;
changeip /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 192.0.0.12 192.0.1.10 oldhost newhost
Standalone Server
changeip - 192.0.0.12 192.0.1.10 oldhost newhost
If I come across some more info I'll post back.

I have a BTHub4 - My iMac, iPhone, and children's iPads all connect to the internet no problem. I cannot get my 2 MacBook Pros or my partners MacBook Air to connect. Have tried diagnostics - says to change DNS but it is correct.

I have a BTHub4 - My iMac, iPhone, and children's iPads all connect to the internet no problem. I cannot get my 2 MacBook Pros or my partners MacBook Air to connect. Have tried diagnostics - says to change DNS but it is correct. I have re-set both router and all laptops - no joy. They can all see the network but cannot connect.

This is extraordinary. I have moved the router and also tried resetting it to its factory strings. We have had this router for over a year and all our devices have always worked. Now all four laptops will not connect to the internet. Only one oMac and our phones and iPad.
I have had far more devices running at once before but now all laptops are timing out on connection. Some say this iIP address is already being used but if I manually set to a slightly different IP address it does not help, noir if I manually set to the correct IP address. Why would all our laptops (four) suddenly be unable to connect?

Pros and cons of changing DNS servers?

Hello guys, First of all I am a non technical person related to DNS servers. So I want to know what are the pros and cons if you change your DNS servers?
I wanted to access Netflix but its not yet available in my country so I came across http://unotelly.com/ . They provide a method to access but by changing DNS. Can someone guide should I do it? What are the pros and cons? Thank you

The DNS is what translates in and outgoing URLs to your local domain server. Changing it may have no adverse effect. It could result in faster or slower translations, but you may not even notice either. However, if it does not work properly, then you will not get web sites in your browser until you revert back to a DNS that you know works or delete all added DNS entries which returns to the system default.

Windows 2012 R2 / Windows Essentials Role. How to keep from Changing DNS.

So I have asked this question in the windows 2012 Server board and was directed to try it here in the essentials.
that existing thread is here >>
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/11cfbc1b-0001-42d6-85c1-304d1e450679/windows-2012-r2-windows-essentials-role-how-to-keep-from-changing-dns?forum=winserver8gen
now to the question
Ok so I will describe my problem as best as I can.
I have 2 Servers Both 2012 R2 Standard 1 is Primary Domain controller and one is the Secondary Domain controller. I had everything set up on the domain and the Primary Domain controller was set up as the DNS on ALL clients (Static).
Recently I set up the secondary domain controller with Essentials. All went well I added all the clients to connect with Essentials. a few days went by and now all of a sudden all the Static DNS's are all changed to the Essentials box.
This Really wouldn't be a problem to me except the performance level of that DNS is EXTREAMLY slow. I run to all clients and change the static back and everything works great. then a little while goes by and all DNS's are again to the Essentials box.
SO my question would be. Is there any way to configure the Essentials box to stop redirecting the DNS to itself and keep the Primary domain controller as the DNS

Hi Curtis_bob,
I noticed that Olaf had provided
KB2862551 in the old thread. Just check if Olaf’s suggestion can help you to solve this issue.
If this issue still exists, would you please let me confirm whether has also installed DNS server role on the
Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (with Windows Server Essentials Experience role)?
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Change DNS Order

I'd like to know if there is a way to change dns order. I know in Tiger, in the network preferences, it was just a textbox and all I had to do was move them around. Leopard comes out and the dns servers interface is now a + and - thing. There's no way to re-order them. Am I missing something? I can't imagine a programmer designing a network dns interface and not allowing the re-ordering of dns servers.
Just now I wake up and it seems that one of comcast's dns servers is not working properly. What I would have done in ubuntu and Mac OSX Tiger is just re-order them, which would have fixed the problem. With Leopard I have to remove them all and type them back in in a different order.
Please tell me I'm mistaken and something so easy in Tiger is not this hard in Leopard?
Thanks...

Understood, however something that took me 5 seconds in Tiger is now taking 5 minutes in Leopard. Not really acceptable. If I did that with one of my apps here at work, I would not only be castrated by the staff, I would be fixing it almost immediately...
Thanks for the response...

ESX 2.5.5: Changing DNS

Hi All,
I have got to change DNS on a group of ESX Hosts running 2.5.5. I understand that i will have to use
VI /Etc/resolv.conf
But i cant find anywhere if i have to reboot the host once this change has been made. The issue i have is i cant get hold of 2.5.5 from anywhere to test this before i run it on the live environment.
Any help will be greatly appriciated
Is there an alternative way to change the DNS

[root@esx011 /]# /usr/sbin/vmkpcidivy -q vmhba_devs
vmhba0:0:0 /dev/sdb
vmhba0:1:0 /dev/sdc
vmhba0:1:1 /dev/sdd
vmhba0:1:2 /dev/sde
vmhba0:1:3 /dev/sdf
vmhba0:1:4 /dev/sdg
vmhba0:1:5 /dev/sdh
vmhba0:1:6 /dev/sdi
vmhba0:1:7 /dev/sdj
vmhba0:1:8 /dev/sdk
vmhba0:1:9 /dev/sdl
vmhba0:1:10 /dev/sdm
vmhba0:1:11 /dev/sdn
vmhba0:5:0 /dev/sdo

vmhba0:9:0 /dev/sdz
vmhba0:9:1 /dev/sdaa
vmhba0:9:2 /dev/sdab
vmhba0:9:3 /dev/sdac
vmhba2:0:0 /dev/sda
So, vmhba0 and vmhba1 are Qlogic single port HBAs
vmhba2 is by elimination the internal controller and contains /dev/sda which boots from /dev/sda1 per lilo.conf
I assume this verifies boot from local storage ...
Can I get a sanity check please.

Impacts of Changing DNS

Hi all,
i have an Exchange 2010 Organisation spanning 2 sites.
I am migrating DC and DNS from Windows 2003 R2 to Windows 2008 R2, and a new DC and DNS is already in place.
My questions are:
1) any known impacts in changing DNS on Network Settings on my Exchange Server?
2) Where do i have to modify - on Exchange Managemente Console - settings for pointing to a new DC/DNS? any known impacts doing that too?
Thanks to all in advance

As commented above it will connect to the next available DC in the same site. Jut change the DNS IPs in exchange server and follow any of these if you want to specify which DC/GC to use, and it will not create issues for you.

Portal server has changed DNS zone, CM URLs not

Hello,
we have a standalone server which changed from the DMZ to internal LAN. With this change the portal got a new DNS suffix and a new IP address. Now the portal is accessable but the acess URLs for CM repository objects having still the old DNS suffix in the URLs.
Has someone experience with changing DNS suffix of a portal server? What must be changed for CM? (using EP 6.0 with KMC, SPS12)
Thanks and regards
Alex

Hello,
found the solution: Systemadministration -> Systemkonfiguration -> KM -> CM -> Global Services (advanced mode!)-> URL Generator Service
Here I could change the Host entry to the new domain for all access paths of KM.

When trying to change dns code my iPad wont remember new number. As soon as I leave that screen it reverts back to the original code. What's wrong?

How can I get dns codes to stay on the settings? The first time I changed dns codes on my iPad it remembered it fine. This lasted a week and since any code I enter gets wiped as soon as I leave the screen and goes back to the original code.

The only way to have these settings be permanent is to change from DHCP-based IP allocation to static IP allocation. If you do this the IP you specify must be outside the range of IP addresses that your router uses for DHCP.

How to change DNS zone, or how to host email outside of BC

I have BC from Creative Cloud Suite, so I have the cheapest possible plan for BC. Meaning I don't get any email hosting. So I was looking to host email outside of BC. I looked it up on google to see if it could be done (I'm really new with all this hosting stuff!), and I found that if you change the DNS zone and MX records to certain things you could. I had to delete the MX record I had set up prior to finding out BC won't host my email, and I went to set up an Advance DNS Records.. But I'm not sure what to do! There's a lot of information I'm not sure about, and I don't know what goes where!
I'd like to have godaddy host my email, and what I found is that I need to change my DNS zone to: mailstore1.secureserver.net and change MX records to 0 smtp.secureserver.net 10 mailstore1.secureserver.net
I may end up finding somewhere else to host email at a later point, but right now I just want to try to figure out how to do this so I'll be able to in the future. Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you

Hi
All you need to do is go to Admin > Site Settings > Site Domains and activate your new domain. You’ll have to enter an MX record for e-mail to be setup, which will be provided by godaddy.

Change DNS host name automatically when one device is down

Hi all
I am first copying below the question which I have posted in a thread related to DNS few days back .
You cannot vote on your own post
Hi
our network team has setup Bluecoat proxy server in our main office and DR site . We have configured GPO to populate the details of proxy server hostname in the proxy setting eg : Proxy server . IP1 is the IP address for the device in Head office
and IP2 is the IP address assigned for device in DR site. currently we have given a DNS entry as
Proxyserver - IP1.
So DNS resolves the IP address of device in Head office and authentication and internet access works.
But we want to use the DR device to be used automatically (only )when head office device is not reachable. But how to configure the settings for DNS I am not sure.
I don't want to use round robin as it will send the traffic to both head office and DR in a load balancing fashion .
for this request I had received an advice to use a script to monitor the first device continuously and if not reachable then change the Hostname in DNS to that of second device .
Let me know if anyone can help me on this.
Thanks in advance
Midhin

Hi Midhin,
Agree with Jrv, I also recommend you can consult proxy vendor for a better solution.
In addition, if you still want to update host name in DNS via Powershell, please refer to the script to update A record in DNS:
$Zone = "dns zone"
$oldobj = Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $Zone -RRType "A" -Name "hostname"
$newobj = Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $Zone -RRType "A" -Name "hostname"
$NewObj.RecordData.IPv4Address = "newipaddress"
Set-DnsServerResourceRecord -NewInputObject $NewObj -OldInputObject $OldObj -ZoneName $Zone
If there is anything else regarding the powershell script issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,
Anna Wang

How to prevent changing DNS server address

I work for a public school district. We just purchased our first batch of Win 8.1 PCs, but they are not the Pro version, so there is no gpedit. I want to prevent students from accessing the TCP/IPv4 Properties dialog box in order to ensure that the
DNS server address is always obtained automatically. Can anyone tell me how to do this using regedit, or any other way? Thanks!

Easiest way is to assign these students a standard user account (without admin rights).. They cant change any system setting then.. Other than restricting privileges I don't think you have option here since you don't have group policy editor ..
There could be a possibility to do this using regedit But it is not recommended since there are no any official article for this other than below untested third party article form ehow
http://www.ehow.com/how_8110801_disable-tcpip-properties-regedit.html
Besides it could be tedious.. enabling and disabling it..

Can't change DNS via terminal

10.4.8 xServe G4
My DNS has been changed by my provider. DirectoryService.error log is this; Attempt #1 to initialize plug-in LDAPv3 failed.
Will retry initialization at most 100 times every 1 second.
this is my ethernet connection:

An asterisk (*) denotes that a network service is disabled.
Built-in Ethernet
Here, I'm trying to change the DNS setting which I've already change in the network prefs pane:
sudo -setdnsservers "Built-in Ethernet" xxx.xxx.xxx.x xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
sudo: please use single character options
Password: (it lets me enter it)
Built-in Ethernet: Built-in Ethernet: No such file or directory
I don't know what it wants. I've also tried out of depsparation; "Automatic" or Built-in Etherrnet
what am i missing?

nevermind. I left out networksetup from the command. it works fine now. sorry for the unecessary question.
