Dcdiag DNStest TEST:Dynamic update

Hi,
I did a dcdiag DNS test by issuing the command "dcdiag /test:DNS". Upon looking at the output, I have the following line that says:
TEST: Dynamic update (dyn)
Warning: Failed to delete the test record dcdiag-test-record in zone xxx.com
But it passed the DNS test.
I've searched over the internet and they say that this happens if dynamic updates is set to "Nonsecure and secure". I've looked into our AD/DNS Servers and it is set to "sercure only".
What could have caused this? Is this ignorable?

Hello,
if you use DNS dynamic updates please assure that it is set to SECURE ONLY. If that isn't the case you may get this error message.

DNS replicating but not being dynamically updated by other DCs

Background on setup:
Our campus runs BIND for the DNS solution
Campus servers do not allow for dynamic updates of the root zone (school.university.edu), but are set to allow dynamic updates of the AD-related zones (_msdcs, _sites, _tcp, _udp, DomainDnsZones, ForestDnsZones)
We run Active Directory (2008R2/2012R2 Mixed Mode) with DNS
Our DCs are all listed in the NS tab of our zones, but are not truly authoritative...campus BIND servers are
We only have the default zones setup in our DNS, all allow for Dynamic updates (Secure Only)
DNS zones are ADI and replicate to all DNS servers in the domain (All 6 DCs are DNS servers)
Clients do not register with our DNS, they use the campus BIND servers. Only AD domain controllers are registered in our zones and allowed to dynamically update
Once upon a time, this setup worked without an issue. Dynamic updates worked without an issue within our ADI zones, as well in the campus BIND servers. When we started to add the new 2012R2 domain controllers into the mix, we noticed that this
was no longer the case. Since we don't often add or remove DCs from our setup, we do not know exactly when this broke.
The issue is that our campus BIND DNS servers show all of the appropriate DNS records flawlessly. We manually requested entries at the root (looks fine) and all AD zones updated dynamically with all expected records. Our AD DNS servers on the
other hand have a fair number of incorrect and missing records. The only one of the three new servers to have records in our AD DNS is the server we moved all of our FSMO roles to before our technician noticed the DNS issues. The other two have
no records dynamically generated in our AD DNS zones. We pulled one of the old 2008R2 DCs out of the domain using dcpromo since it had some other issues. As expected, it pulled all of its records out of campus BIND cleanly but left all of its records
in our AD DNS.
If we manually add/remove an entry (PTR, CNAME, A, SRV), the change replicates appropriately across the domain. However, we do not want to put a Band-Aid fix on this and manually enter all of the records. We want to figure out why these two servers
are not pushing their records into AD DNS despite updating them flawlessly in campus BIND servers.
DNS is not my forte, so I'd welcome any advice on what I can as my best next steps. I have played around a lot with modifying DNS servers listed in the DC network settings, and register this connection. We can confirm that replication seems to
be working fine. We can manually add records. DNS shows no errors in event log. When using dcdiag dns test, it shows that we have missing records in our DNS but no other issues are displayed. NSLOOKUP reveals campus DNS to be correct.
Any assistance would be appreciated...even if just to point me to a better tool for diagnostics. We have not yet tried reinstalling DNS on any of the DCs and wish to avoid that if possible.

Greg:
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I believe I have found a pseudo-solution earlier this week, but I find myself slightly confused by the solution. On our network connections for the DCs, we had been making the BIND servers the primary
and secondary DNS servers, then each of our DCs point to two of the other DCs for their tertiary and quaternary DNS servers. Since the BIND servers have all of the correct records, we flipped those to make the DCs our primary and secondary before BIND
servers. This got all of the records into our AD correctly.
It was my understanding that if you checked the "Register this connection in DNS" checkbox that it would register itself in all of the DNS servers in the list, but based off the above it seems it only registers in the first DNS server it successfully connects
to; assuming it expects that primary server to replicate the records to others. If this new assumption is true, then I am trying to figure out how I am supposed to get my DCs to dynamically update both AD-DNS and BIND when I make changes. This
may be best suited in another thread, so I'll gladly break it out into another if needed. I do not have control over the BIND DNS servers, except for the fact that my DCs are allowed to dynamically update the AD subzones. I have full control over
my AD-DNS, but my clients computers are required to point to BIND for their DNS.

HTTPS, DNS and dynamically updating DNS records

Hello to you all, if you are able to help with a DNS problem that I'm having then please accept my thanks and appreciation in advance.
First some background information, I recently moved my server from my studio to my house where a new purpose built studio will soon be erected. At my old studio any requests for myurl.com came in via the IP (whether that be http, https, ftp etc) from the domain registrar and the router would send the request to the relevant port number whether that be 80 for http or 443 for https etc and all was well as this location had a fixed IP address. Unfortunately at my new location whilst I have a much faster connection I do not have a fixed IP. To get around this I have the following set up (not ideal for a business I know but perfectly OK for home hosting); I set up two psuedo nameservers at no-ip.com (ns1myurl.com and ns2myurl.com) which tracks the changes in my IP address and updates its records accordingly, my registrar then sends any requests to these 'nameservers' and no-ip then forwards it on to my server. So far so good.
The problem arises once the requests get to my server, whilst I have DNS set up, I can only recieve requests from a straight request to the server ie myurl.com will display the site without any problem, but if I then put a www in front of that or try to access the https part of my site (which is set up as a seperate site on the same server) then the server throws an error. I have tried to put an alias (CNAME) into the zone but it does not want to resolve the request. I have searched around but to no avail, I am totally new to DNS so am currently on a steep learning curve and fumbling around in the dark.
The first thing that I need to get working is the request to be resolved correctly and then (and this is where the real fun starts!) is to dynamically update the IP in the DNS records as the IP changes. I will probably have to get help in on this as I understand that this requires BIND of which I know nothing about, first though I'd like to get the pages to be served up correctly. Advice, hints, tips or links to tutorials all greatly appreciated. Full set up listed below.
Many thanks, David.

Thanks for the reply Camelot, that part though I had already figured out. I now have this working, all I did was change the external IP to the internal one of the server with resolves with the .local machine name and all is working just fine (for now!). As long as I have primary zones set for each site and any alias or services set up on them then everything works well.. The real test will be when my ISP changes the IP, whilst my tests have proved successful the proof will be when they update the address.
Thanks anyway. David.

Dynamic update of EJB/Web deployment descriptors

In 8.1SP3, is there any provision to allow for dynamic update of EJB/Web deployment descriptors? I'm specifically looking at env var changes.
I noticed that there are some mentions of the ability to dynamically update deployment descriptors, but it appears that the general facility has been deprecated, and they've incorporated all of the WebLogic-specific descriptor information directly into the console.
When I dig through the JMX namespace and some of the MBean classes, I also see mentions of "deployment descriptor editors", but it's not clear how to utilize that.
I'm aware of the fact that my application would have to be aware of possible dynamic updates to the descriptors, so I'd have to be able to implement some sort of listener for that.

I have the same question but for a different purpose. I am part of a hosting group and we have app teams that have defined init-params in the web.xml that have to be changed as the app is promoted up through test environments and ultimately to production - only we need to be able to do this WITHOUT "cracking open" the archive.
I was hoping to be able to script something to do the update after deployment.
So any help at all would be appreciated. In the meantime will continue to poke around in the WLST and MBean docs.
Thanks,
Ed

Could not reuse TKEY established till expiry, Microsoft DNS refuses Dynamic updates after some minutes

We are using a DHCP Server that is sending secure (GSS-TSIG based) dynamic updates to Microsoft DNS.
After successful TKEY negotiation, the dynamic updates are accepted/success.
Established context is valid for more than 10hours in client side(Based on InitializeSecurityContext output parameter ptsExpiry
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa375507%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)
But, when we try to use the same TKEY name ( the established context is not expired) we are getting "Query Refused error" after some time say 8-10 minutes. Is there any transaction timeout after which client should not reuse the TKEY
context established ? Whether Microsoft DNS supports TKEY RR with mode 5 ( Delete Security Context/ Key Deletion ) so that client will delete and establish a new context for further DNS updates. Also why BADNAME/BADKEY error is not returned while refusing
the updates?
As per the RFC 3645,
<RFC snip>
4.2.1. Terminating a Context
A server can terminate any established context at any time. The
server MAY hint to the client that the context is being deleted by
including a TKEY RR in a response with the Mode field set to 5, i.e.,
"key deletion" [RFC2930]. An active context is deleted by calling
GSS_Delete_sec_context providing the associated context_handle.
</RFC Snip>
1. Configured Forward Zone aswin.com
2. Not configured Reverse Zone, so that reverse updates get NOT AUTH ( just to test error case )
3. TKEY negotiation is successful.
4. Sent 2 updates say at 19:52 one forward and reverse updates. Forward update is success, Reverse update failed due to reverse zone not configured, which is expected.
5. Sent 2 updates say at 19:55 using the previously established key, Forward update is success, Reverse update failed due to reverse zone not configured, which is expected.
6. Sent 2 updates say at 20:01(approximately after 5 minutes), Forward Dynamic update failed with Query Refused. Until new TKEY negotiation is done all updates are failed with Query Refused. Why the same key could not be used for 10 hours(based on
Initialize security context output value). Is there any way to find how long key can be reused ?

Hi Devi,
Based on this issue, would you please provide the netmon trace to us? I suggest taking a look at this packet. Moreover, please let me know if you tired to update the DNS record via DHCP manually.
Thank you.

DNS dynamic updates don't work

Hi,
I am currently troubleshooting a DNS dynamic update issue that I am having in my production environment. I had to change the subnet mask on a DHCP scope, so according to
http://www.windowstricks.in/2009/06/how-to-change-subnet-mask-of-dhcp-scope.html I deleted the scope and recreated it. After one day I noticed that a lot of A records (Linux and Mac clients) were gone, and that non-Windows DHCP clients would no longer register
their A record with DNS as they did before. It seems that the DHCP server does no longer communicate with DNS because before the change was made, there were DHCP log entries about successful registrations but afterwards there are no such entries
in the log, neither success nor failure.
The DHCP server is configured to always dynamically update A and PTR records, the DNS server accepts secure and nonsecure dynamic updates. DHCP is installed on one of my two domain controllers (Windows Server 2008 R2, AD in 2003 mode).
I then set up a basic test environment with just one DC which has DHCP and DNS with default settings, added a reverse lookup zone to the DNS, one Windows and one Linux client. In that environment, the Windows client registers its A record with
the DNS but not the PTR record, but the Linux client still will not be registered in DNS. Allowing nonsecure DNS doesn't resolve the issue.
What am I missing? Any help is appreciated...

Dynamic update of safety stock in SAP R/3 systems (ECC 5.0 version)

Hi Friends,
Forgive my newness to SAP. Let me explain the problem i am facing in SAP. I want to identify the parameters to dynamically update the finished goods safety stock for each depot by SKU wise.
Current process :- Safety stock is calculated manually and updated by using Transaction code MS02 in the system.
It would be highly useful if i know the flow in SAP system and how the current process can be changed?
If more info is required i'm ready to give.
Thanks in advance

Hi Mario Adler,
Thanks a ton for ur answer.
Will it update safety stock for finished goods in each depot by SKU wise? Raw material safety stock isn't my concern.
project description : Manufacturer of chemical goods , 70+ products,350 skus
Distribution : factory to depot (bulk volume)
Mother go-down to depot(Stock transfer)
No of depots :33,factory:3,mother go-down -1
Sales forecasting is done in excel for every month and updated to SAP via BAPI. After that DRP,MRP and other runs takes place.
What are all the areas i need to touch in to get the parameters to update the safety stock?
Regards

How to dynamically update columns in a where clause to a SQL query in OSB?

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement where in we need to dynamically update a where clause to a SQL query in OSB(11.1.1.6.0).
For example:
If the JCA sql string is "select * from emp where emp_id = 100 and emp_status ='Permanent'" now i want to change this where clause and the new query has to be like "select * from emp where emp_name like 'S%' and emp_dept like 'IT' ". basically we need to change the where clause dynamically.
We can also use "fn-bea:execute-sql()" in a xquery but I don't want to use this function as creates a new connection.
I have done some home work and found out --> as per the DOC "http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/dev.1111/e15866/jca.htm#OSBDV943" section: "25.5.2 JCA Transport Configuration for Proxy and Business Services", when a business service is created by using JCA, we can see Interaction Spec Properties under JCA Transport Tab. This will have a property "SqlString' and we can over ride it. But I am unable to figure out how to over ride the value. I have tried by using Transport Headers activity but no luck. Please guide me how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance

I solved my problem.
In my header renderer, I simply added a line to set the text to the object value "label.setText( (String) value );" (where label is an instance of a JLabel.
Thank you to who took some time to think about it.

So here's the problem. When I sync with my computer, the playlists work great, everything updates as expected and I get a pretty diverse playlist every time I sync which I want. The problem is that while I'm listening to my music on the ipod away from the computer, my playlists don't dynamically update. After I listen to a song, the song's supposed to remove itself from the playlist which doesn't happen, as well as when I skip songs. Even when I rate songs that aren't rated they don't appear in any playlist. This is really frustrating and I can't find a solution anywhere and yes, I do have Live Updating selected. I also have "Match only checked items" selected on all playlists as well. If anyone has any ideas for how to fix this, I would love to know. Thanks!

I was searching this forum and found someone who says that 4th gen ipods have problems live updating smart playlists if the criteria "last skipped" is on the playlist. I took this off of all of my playlists but they still don't work. Then I tried making a playlist that is just "rating is equal to 5 stars" and it WORKS!!! But that doesn't help me out much for my other playlists so maybe it's some other criteria that's causing the problem. Any ideas?

Dynamically Updating Content Server Portlets

[urlHi, I am currently having difficulty dynamically updating content server portlets. I have a portlet of the following form:[/url]
ArticleName Author Title Date mystory author1 title1 04/05/01
story2 author2 title2 06/07/04
story author3 title3 01/02/03
So I have this table where each one of the line items is an article in the content server. So, for example the first line item is an article "mystory" by "author1", with title "title1" and date "04/05/01" additionally there is an article text field, but this isn't displayed unless I click on the article name.
I can set up the basics of this portlet, but when I try to add any real functionality I run into one of two problems.
First Problem: Passing Information
I cannot find a way to pass information between content portlets. For instance, if the user would like to "re-sort" this table based on "date", I would like to have the user click on the "date" column heading and then reload the page. To do so, I would have to pass the section name back to the page so that it could resort based on this data. I have not found anyway to effectively pass information to a content server portlet. I am building these pages through use of the presentation template framework (so I can have access to the content items) but that seems to change the way portlets are handled.
I got around this limitation with a regular portlet by creating an intermediary page which captures passed information and stores it to the session state. Once the information was in the session state, it is accessible to the portlet on the first page. However, this only works because remote portlets do not change their session id once loaded. Content Server portlets, on the other hand, change their session id after every reload of the browser or page change. I can send information from a content server portlet to an intermediary page, but I cannot send it back to the portlet because the session id has changed so I have no idea of knowing where to send the information. I can write it to a session state, but by the time I return to the portal page, the content server has changed its session id so it does not know where to look any longer.
I suppose it would be possible to create an application state variable and append it with some static token (if there is some static variable per portal session) but I would rather not have to deal with application variables if at all possible.
Second Problem: Dynamically Updating PCS Tags
Even if I were able to the pass information back to my content server portlet, I run into another issue. The easiest way to sort content server items is using the filter command in the pcs:foreach tag. So, if I wanted to sort by author name, I could do something like the following <pcs:foreach var="item" expr="filter(folderByName('content'), filtered.name == '"name")" or something like that (the syntax may be incorrect, I just wrote this off the top of my head). However, it appears that the way the presentation templates are compiled goes in the order of PCS tags THEN JSP. So I would have no way of dynamically changing the variable on which I sort. For example, if I clicked on "Date" above in my table, I would like to be able to dynamically change my code so that I sort on date, and not name. I cannot find a solution to this problem.
My workaround is to use the pcs tags to write out all the possible sortings to java array objects. This gives me access to the data on a JSP level and based on whatever the user will chose, I could then display that array. While this works, it is extremely ghetto and inefficient. Any help or suggestions would be fantastic.
Thanks a lot,
Jason Grauel

You can use just about any javascript you want in any Content Server presentation template including ones that are used for portlets.
However, you should be careful to name javascript functions and global variables uniquely so that they do not conflict with any other javascript on the page. To do this, you can append the item id to function and variable names, for example,
function doSomething<pcs:value expr="pcs_id"></pcs:value>() {
return true;

Problem with Dynamic Update in Humax MHP STB.

Anyone encounters this problem b4?
The dynamic update funtion of my app works well on other STB, except Humax, no update is reflected.
I really don't know what to do to made it works now. Anyone can give a hint?
What I can think of is implementing a Thread which keeps track of dynamic content. However, I can't think of the way to do it properly...

HT201380 Yesterday this was automatically installed. Today I can't access a document in Pages. A prompt says I need a Pages update. But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date. What's up?

It's highly unlikely that the Pages update problem has anything to do with the ARD client update, since the client is not involved in any way with Software Update. I'd suggest asking for assistance with the update problem in the forum appropriate for your version of Mac OS X.

I Think It's Time That Verizon Opens Up Testing Of Updates & Firmware To The Windows Phone Community!!!

Waiting for Verizon to release updates on a reasonable time table has become a complete failure. If you only have a couple technicians in house testing the 4-5 devices you only carry and it takes this long, there's a problem with your technicians.
If you don't want to allocate the time, money and resources to a platform that your sales reps never push or even mention in stores, or on your website or over the phone, I think it's time to either drop the line completely or turn to the Windows Phone Community to do your job for you.
I think it's time that Verizon takes a queue from Microsoft and opens up testing of updates and firmware to any and all Windows Phone Users that want to help the cause and better support the platform in the process. You can have your legal department draft up a clause that releases Verizon of any liability if a user opts to test updates or firmware.
What else better than to have the Community help in the cause (in masses) over the limited few technicians you have in house testing out the updates and firmware. You will get all the feedback you will need to make a proper decision as to push the updates or firmware or go back to Microsoft and make fixes to any/all bugs that are found.
In a technological age we live in, to not take advantage of a community of users who would be more than willing to test out products, goods, services, you are just shooting yourself in the foot.
If you look at the numbers of how many users signed up to be part of Microsoft's Developer Preview app, you will see that there are millions of users willing to take the risk in order to help the cause while being a part of the testing process, making the platform better in the long run.
It's time for change, it's time to embrace the community, it's time to respond at let the community know one way or another if we are going to get updates and firmware in a timely manner... and not just one update or firmware in a year cycle.
Windows (9) is going to be released to the general public as Technical Preview on September 30, and you can guarantee that millions of users are going to download the OS and test it out and submit feedback via the OS and Microsoft's Community Forum in order to make it a success... So why don't you Verizon do the same and open up beta testing of updates and firmware to the Windows Phone Community here!!!
Think about it, take a poll... but do something, one way or another... It's time to stop keeping us paying customers in the dark regarding updates and firmware that improves the experience, enhances our devices and provides the security that we need for our phones. If you take good care of us, we will continue to be customers, renew our contracts or even sign up for Verizon Edge Accounts.
But if you keep us in the dark, you can guarantee that you will get customers leaving when there contracts are up because Windows Phone Users are loyal to Windows Phone... PERIOD!!!
Waiting for Tidbits and Elector to grace my post with there constant negativity and start a war of words as usual... since they love stirring the pot and angering the Windows Phone Community every time they reply to posts. I just can't believe they spend that much time here on the forums replying if they are not a paid Verizon employee or a paid basher from a competing platform.

Well I found nothing wrong in your post. So why even make a statement like the quote I included?
Once more I am a retired government employee. So I have the time to post. Or has my rights been taken away to voice an opinion?
Your posts was great you were not whining about your rights to file complaints to the FCC or FTC etc. One of the best I have read.
And I am not trying to sway you from your phone choice. If you looked at my avitar it shows apple iphones. But I use and have used androids and not Windows phones.
However your numbers of windows phone users all leaving over the issue is miniscule in the number of users of Android and iOS devices.
I have written many times I wish all the devices get updated like iOS devices do. But at present that is not happening
No bashing, no adversarial post just a little common sense is all I use.
And again your post was great.
Good Luck

Dynamic UPDATE statement with parameters for column names.

Hello,
On this* website I read "The SQL string can contain placeholders for bind arguments, but bind values cannot be used to pass in the names of schema objects (table or column names). You may pass in numeric, date, and string expressions, but not a BOOLEAN or NULL literal value"
On the other hand, in this Re: execute immediate with dynamic column name update and many other
posts people use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to create a dynamic UPDATE statement.
dynSQL:='UPDATE CO_STAT2 CO SET CO.'||P_ENT_B_G_NAME||' = '||P_ENT_E_G_WE||'
WHERE ST IN
(SELECT ST FROM STG_CO_STAT2_TEST CO WHERE
'||P_ST||' = CO.ST AND
CO.'||P_ENT_E_G_NAME||' > '||P_ENT_E_G_WE||' AND
CO.'||P_ENT_B_G_NAME||' < '||P_ENT_E_G_WE||');';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE dynSQL ;
Since this statement is part of a Stored Procedure, I wont see the exact error but just get a ORA-06512.
The compiling works fine and I use Oracle 11g.
http://psoug.org/definition/EXECUTE_IMMEDIATE.htm

OK I extracted from all of your posts so far that I have to use "bind-variables with :"
From all the other tuorials and forums posts, I assume using the pipe is correct so I added those as well into the script:
set serveroutput on format wraped;
DECLARE
dynSQL VARCHAR2(5000);
P_ENT_E_G_NAME VARCHAR2 (100) :='test1'; P_ENT_E_G_WE VARCHAR2 (100) :='01.02.2012'; P_ENT_B_G_NAME VARCHAR2 (100) :='01.01.2012';
P_ST                VARCHAR2 (100) :='32132';
BEGIN
dynSQL:= 'UPDATE CO_STAT2 CO SET CO.'||:P_ENT_B_G_NAME||' = '||:P_ENT_E_G_WE||'
              WHERE ST IN (SELECT ST FROM STG_CO_STAT2_TEST CO WHERE
              '||:P_ST||'                           = CO.ST                  AND
              CO.'||:P_ENT_E_G_NAME||'     > '||:P_ENT_E_G_WE||' AND
              CO.'||:P_ENT_B_G_NAME||'
< '||:P_ENT_E_G_WE||')';
--this is somehow missing after the last < '||:P_ENT_E_G_WE||')';
dbms_output.enable;
dbms_output.put(dynSQL);
--EXECUTE IMMEDIATE dynSQL;
END;Problem:I think I figured it out, the dates that I parse into the query need additional '
