Configuring DNS when clients get DHCP from a Windows server

Hi
I'm getting to grips with OD and have managed to configure a test environment at home with static IPs and all the DNS entries being entered manually for each computer.
However, how do I configure the DNS in an environment where clients get their IPs from a Windows DHCP server (which I have no access to)?
Setting clients to have static IPs is not an option nor enabling DHCP on the Mac server, I suspect.
Your help is really appreciated.
Steve

Hi
Your suspicion is correct.
To be honest I would what is available on the Windows Server as the basis for your Open Directory deployment. If the Windows Server is already the DHCP Server odds are it is also the DNS Server. DNS can be provided to your clients using the Windows based DHCP service.
If you have no direct access to the windows server you should be able at the least ask the windows administrator to add a Host Record with a Reverse Pointer for the OSX Server. Make sure its resolving correctly first using the relevant tools first then add the IP address of the Windows Server in the network preferences pane on your OSX Server. Thereafter you should be able to promote from Standalone to Open Directory Master without too many problems.
If the Windows Server is using .local as its FQDN then it could scupper any chances you have of providing OSX LDAP services to your mac clients. It can work with .local, its just better if its not used.
Hope this helps – Tony

Clients not getting DHCP from external server

Hi,
I have a 4402 (version 7.0.235) working with 10 units of 1121 APs connected to it. The WLC is not configured to work in LAG mode. Physical portt #1 is connected to the Main Switch (trunk). I have 3 WLAN mapped to 3 Different VLAN and Everything (security and internal, external DHCP) is working swell...
Now- I have connected Physical port #2 directly to an ADSL Router (giga port), Configured Port 2 as untaggedwith the proper IP details.
I have configured this interface to receive DHCP from the ADSL Router and for some reason, Clients are not getting addresses.
When I assign a Static address to my laptop I get internet access and all is nice. I tried configuring The WLC internal DHCP server (instead of the ADSL router) and that didn't help. It seems like a DHCP problem but I dont understand the source of the problem of think of the solution.
When turning off the proxy settings I noticed that it helped. Is there anything to do with that? The problem was that after a while the other WLANs starting causing DHCP issues as well.
What is supposed to be configured? Any Expert is the House?
I attached a crappy drawing..

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your answer.
So what you are basicly saying is that I have 2 choices: 1 - disable the Proxy option on the WLC and work with external DHCP servers (internal will not work when this is enabled). 2 - Enable the Proxy option and only work with the WLC internal DHCP.
I have installed many WLCs this way, having Different DHCP Servers (external and internal) for multiple WLANs.
What do you think may be different this time? The router that I am using isn't the most expencive but it is providing DHCP to other clients (wired client) with no problems.
Thanks!!!

Okay, so somebody stole my Ipod, 4th generation, and it don't have IOS 7, it has IOS 6.1.4, and apparently I was tracking it with police officers this morning and when I get home from school (now, 4:26) it appears that it's offline and I can't see the location no more, so my question is... Can they still find out where is it located?

Your carrier might be able to locate it if it's on their network and they are ordered to do so by the police or the courts. It can't be tracked with Find My iPhone if it's offline.

I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
I hope she gets her phone back.
Best of luck.

How come my music will not download to my phone when i get music from a different source other than itunes?

I am having trouble transfering music on to my phone when i get music from another source like amazon mp3. Anyone know why that is?

You don't dial *228 on a 4G LTE phone to reprogram it or update the PRLs ... that's handled by the SIM card.
You might try a new SIM card; they're free at your local Corporate Verizon store or by calling Customer Service.

How BW get data from MS SQL server DB?

I got infomation about this from help.com, http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm.
this web told me, when BW application server must be Win NT.BW can get data from MS SQL server DB.
but our BW application server was AIX.
Did you know other solution to this?

Hi,
you need to use the DBConnect or in BI7.0 the UDConnect features.

Can I install net framework 3.5 on a client Windows 8.1 from a Windows Server 2012 R2

I have been trying to install a Windows Feature to a client computer on a LAN from my Windows Server.
The feature that i'm trying to install is .NET Framework 3.5 on a client with Windows 8.1
I have been looking for information on the web to see if is it possible to install the feature from my server (WS2012R2) and I have not found anything yet.
- The Server and the Client are located on the same subnet.
- The Server and the Client are virtualized because I've been doing different tests.
- I just need to install the feature on some clients, not in all of them.
Do I need to apply any policy?
Do I need any special command?
Is this request possible?

This one may help.

What do you do when you get a 'connection to mail server failed' message?

What do you do when you get a "connection to mail server failed" message?

if it used to work and you did not change anything then it's most likely the internet connection or the mail provider server which are having the problem in which case you wait
if not then they changed their settings and you needs to adjust to their new settings
or your carrier changed their settings so they block the required ports

Installation of Client Access role fails on Windows Server 2008 R2 (Execution of: "$error.Clear(); Install-ExchangeCertificate -services "IIS, POP, IMAP")

Hello
I am trying to install Exchange Server 2010 beta 1 onto a Windows Server 2008 R2 (build 7000) machine which has also been set up as a domain controller.
However when attempting to install the Client Access role, setup fails with the error below.
Does anyone know of a way to get around this please?
I have already searched for this error and not found any similar threads.
Also every time I press the code button on this forum it crashes the browser and I keep losing the message! (IE8 from within Server R2). Also the message box is very small, will not expand and keeps jumping to the top.
Thanks
Robin

Hello
Thanks for all the replies.
I have since wiped the system and installed everything again and it all worked this time so not sure what was wrong last time. I did try to uninstall all Exchange components and then uninstall IIS and Application server, reboot and re-install but I received the same error still when it came to installing the client access role.
Walter: I just attempted the standard installation which should have used the default self-signed certificate. Everything was a fresh install done at the same time on a freshly formatted PC.
For info last time when it failed to work:
- Installed Windows Server 2008 R2
- Installed Domain Controller role using dcpromo. I set the forest and domain as Windows Server 2008 R2
- Added a forest trust between main domain and test Exchange domain (set up as ex2010.local)
- Installed IIS and Application Server role
- Installed Hyper-v role
- Installed Desktop Experience feature
- Installed Exchange and recieved the error
When it worked I set up the forest and domain in Windows Server 2008 mode (i.e. not R2), installed Exchange first and then set up the forest trust and then Hyper-v. It did say it failed to configure dns which was probably because it started trying to do automatic updates half way through the dcpromo! DNS seems to work ok though.
I did notice this time that Hyper-v gave a warning about the virtual network adapter not being set up correctly and the local network did not work correctly although I could access the internet. Not sure if this could have been related to the cause of the problem previously. For now I have disabled the virtual network until I get time to try and get it working and so the mail will work in the meantime.
I also noticed that Hyper-v added an extra 443 ssl binding to the default website so as it had 2 bindings on port 443 it refused to start. After deleting one it worked.
I decided to install Exchange onto a domain controller as it is only a test and I wouldn't do it in a live environment. I am also short of test machines! It didn't give me any warnings about this actually, I think previous versions warn you that it is not recommended.
Andreas and Chinthaka: I did not know about the requirement to run the domain at 2003 mode. The main domain is running in 2008 mode with Exchange 2007 so I assume this is just a temporary beta related requirement. It does seem to be working (second attempt) so far in a 2008 mode domain although I haven't had a chance to fully test it yet.
Thanks
Robin
P.S. Sorry it's taken me a while to reply!

We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Macs -problem!

We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Mac Network!!!
Problem:
Now, when we create files from our personal computers, no one else can write them. We can all read these files, but when we make changes we have to save a version! This wasn't happening on the Windows server, so I can only guess that it's a setting on the Mac? (G4 Laptop running 10.4.5)
Can anyone help me figure out what setting needs to be changed?
Thank you very much in advance!
-Alex

This is normal behavior, and is a result of the POSIX umask. Newly created files have their POSIX permissions (owner, group, and everyone fields) set such that only the owner can read and write.
The best way to solve this problem is to use an ACL entry to define desired permissions for a folder, specifying inheritance (e.g., permissions apply to this folder and any newly-created files or folders inside of that).
Please see my ACL Tips version 2 link for more information, including a more detailed explanation of POSIX and ACL permissions and how they work together: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1732788

REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER

I am using a window 7 professional service pack 1 and I purchase REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER. but the seller did not send me any installation CD or instruction

Please how can I use it on my window 7 professional service pack 1.
Thank you.

Though Bill is absolutely correct for most CALs, Remote Desktop Services does have its own special licensing server. I haven't installed one on 2012, yet, but here is a step-by-step guide for 2008.

But, the explanation of your environment begs the question - what are you trying to do? You say you have a desktop OS and you are talking about Windows Server products. In that light, your question does not make a lot of sense.

When will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX6.1

Hi all
I'm sorry if I post it in a wrong place... But I really want to know when will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX 6.1?
I've searched in metalink but found nothing useful. Is there anybody can give me a link of Oracle's roadmap for platform support?
Thanks!

Oracle does not announce release dates and neither
does any other software company.But Oracle does have a very good track record of supporting their products on new windows releases extremely close to the windows release date. Clearly they can't support on an unreleased platform though. Given that the launch of Server 2008 isn't even complete worldwide yet (19th March in the UK for example) it would seem that this enquiry is a little premature.
