DNS setup on server bound to AD and using domain controllers for DNS

My server is bound to our AD network and in the network pref I have entered the two IPs for the domain controllers on our network that serve DNS.
My question is, am I right not to enable/configure and start the DNS service on the Mac server since it is getting DNS already?
If yes, how do I confirm that my Mac server is correctly listed in our domain controllers DNS? Should I be concerned that I get the following?
knws3135:~ mactech$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
Password:
Primary address = 10.31.3.135
Current HostName = knws3135.ad.ewsad.net
The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.

Hi
It looks all OK to me? As for the hostname having capitals could pose a problem but only if the Mac Server was its own KDC. Which it is not. If the hostname is defined as you have it now in the AD's DNS Service then leave it alone.
Sometimes even when DNS checks out OK you can still have fundamental errors that only demotion to Standalone will cure. I think this is the point that you are at now. To be honest I would do this. Judging from what you've said there would be very little to lose when you do this apart from managed preferences. These can easily be re-applyed on successful promotion.
needs to be changed so it is configured in Open Directory as connected to a Directory Server
Not sure what you mean by this?
If you have or are about to update your Server to 10.5.4 - which I recommend you do. Then you could follow this procedure:
Demote to Standalone
Stop all Services
Restart the Server
Update to 10.5.4. Restart the Server (this happens anyway)
Make sure your Server resolves on the forward and reverse pointers (again)
If you want run changeip again (you may be surprised)
Use the Active Directory plug in in Directory Utility to bind the Server to the AD. Make sure you use an AD admin account that has authority to do this. De-select 'force home directory creation on startup disk' I have a feeling this will be de-selected anyway.
After successful binding quit out of Directory Utility and launch Server Admin
Select the Open Directory Service
Change the role from Standalone to Open Directory Master
Create the Directory Administrator account's username and password. Don't be tempted to change the UID or use the system admin account's user name. You can use the same password if you wish. What I've done before in the past is to create the diradmin account on the AD first with full authority for the domain.
On successful promotion you should now see in the Overview Pane everything running apart from Kerberos which should be Stopped. This is how it should be. Apple's 10.5.4 Update has took a lot of the donkey work out of this whole process. No need for the command line. Simply click.
If you launch Directory Utility you should now see the server's loopback address has been added in the LDAPv3 Plugin. Also the Server should be topmost in the Search Order under the Authentication and Contacts field. Bind your clients first to the AD and then the OD (make sure use for authentication and contacts are unchecked).
Browse the two nodes, add your groups and apply MCX in the usual way.
Does this help?

Can we assign 2 IPs for a SCCM 2012 primary site server and use 1 IP for communicating with its 2 DPs and 2nd one for communicating with its upper hierarchy CAS which is in a different .Domain

Hi,
Can we assign 2 IPs for a SCCM 2012 primary site server and use 1 Ip for communicating with its 2 DPs and 2nd one for communicating with its upper hierarchy CAS . ?
Scenario: We are building 1 SCCM 2012 primary site and 2 DPs in one domain . In future this will attach to a CAS server which is in different domain. Can we assign 2 IPs in Primary site server , one IP will use to communicate with its 2 DPs and second
IP for communicating with the CAS server which is in a different domain.?
Details:
1)Server : Windows 2012 R2 Std , VM environment .2) SCCM : SCCM 2012 R2 .3)SQL: SQL 2012 Std
Thanks
Rajesh Vasudevan

First, it's not possible. You cannot attach a primary site to an existing CAS.
Primary sites in 2012 are *not* the same as primary sites in 2007 and a CAS is 2012 is completely different from a central primary site in 2007.
CASes cannot manage clients. Also, primary sites are *not* used for delegation in 2012. As Torsten points out, multiple primary sites are used for scale-out (in terms of client count) only. Placing primary sites for different organizational units provides
no functional differences but does add complexity, latency, and additional failure points.
Thus, as the others have pointed out, your premise for doing this is completely incorrect. What are your actual business goals?
As for the IP Addressing, that depends upon your networking infrastructure. There is no way to configure ConfigMgr to use different interfaces for different types of traffic. You could potentially manipulate the routing tables in Windows but that's asking
for trouble IMO.

WRT54G....Can I set DHCP to use the router for DNS instead of external DNS?

Hi folks. I cant' get my router to have DHCP tell my PCs that the router should be the DNS server instead of the external servers it is using. I am using Comcast Cable internet. It sets the external DNS servers for every PC that connects to it and I have problems finding my PCs on my network by NetBIOS name because the external DNS servers obviously don't store my local PCs. How can I set the router up to set DHCP to use the router for DNS?

If you cannot set the DNS server in the configuration page for the DHCP server in your router then your router does not support this.
This won't solve your problem though. The DNS server on the router is a simply forwarder. It simply forwards the DNS requests from your computer to the ISP's DNS servers. The DNS server does not accept dynamic updates to a private zone inside your LAN. And DNS is pretty much unrelated to the standard windows workgroup browsing which does the actual name resolution inside your LAN. That name resolution even works without a router inside your network. Basically all windows computers in your network periodically broadcast their name to the network. One windows computers is elected "master browser" which collects all these names and provides the name resolution service for all computers in the workgroup.
If this does not work it is most likely a windows configuration problem. It could be a software firewall on the computers which blocks traffic. It could be that the computers are not setup for file/printer sharing and thus have the computer browser disabled. It could be that your computers have a WINS server configured which does not exist. There are probably more causes. The better source to ask this question would probably a Microsoft support group. They deal with these kinds of issues more often and maybe a MVP may be able to point you into the right direction or give some links to step-by-step instructions...

Creating a Master virtual hard disk and using the same for all other VM's

Hi,
We would like to create a master virtual hard disk and use the same for all other VM's. Can we do that ?
my requirements :
1) create 10 VM's
2) first create a master virtual hard disk with win OS and use the same to create the 10 VM's.
3) After creating the VM's change the HDD size.
              -- if i have created master virtual disk with 500GB , and use the same for creating a virtual machine. can we change the HDD size to 1TB ?
After creating the VM's ,i will change the system names and activate the windows accordingly.
Will there be any implications ,if we can/will do like this.
Thanks.

HT3529 Is there a way to create, store and use preset messages for use with "Messages"?

Is there a way to create, store and use preset messages for use with "Messages". I often have a recurrinig message to send, after a repeating event, and need to enter the same short message each time. It would be nice to have this short message stored and selectable so that I do not need to enter each time.

Installig and using Crystal Report for reporting on BW

Dear Experts
We are working on BW 7.00 and do't have BO(Business Objects) . Now we wnt to install and Use crystal Report for reporting purpose. Pl. let me know whether Crystal reports can be used to extact data from BW Query or We need to have BO in order to Use Crystal Report.
Thanks in advance
Dinesh Sharma

Hello Dinesh,
first of all Crystal Reports is not a extraction tool - it is a reporting tool - which is a huge difference.
In regards to products you do need Crystal Reports, SAP Integration Kit, and SAP BusinessObjects Edge or SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise.

Sorry but that makes no sense in English. Only your mobile phone company (i.e. "carrier") can enable the Personal Hotspot feature.

PS2013 - Creating a new instance of Project Server does not run and hangs in "Waiting for Resource"

Hi,
In my Project Server 2013 environment I created an instance of Project Server which is running in a notebook Hyper-V Windows 2012 Server with 11 GB, 4 threds, 3 GHz, one box configuration with complete version of SQL Server 2012 with SP1, nothing trial.
PS and SPS 2013 updated with Cumulative Update of Dec 2013.
I want to create a new empty instance in the same port 80 with a different URL or in the port 90 creating a new web application.
Whatever option I choose, when I try to create the instance of the Project Server it hangs in "Waiting for Resource" status. No Event Viewer, no hanged timer Jobs, all services running, all pools and sites started and I found out nothing in the
SharePoint Logs. After every attempt I return the server snapshot to the former state.
The Project Server and SharePoint continue to work normally.
Any hints where should I look to solve this issue?
Thank you.
Best regards, Ricardo Segawa - Segawas Projetos / Microsoft Partner

Ricardo,
so, the only clue I can find in your posting is around the web application.
if you want a 2nd PWA instance on the same web application (this presums you have one already, working, right?).
all you really have to do is give it a different "pwa" name - like "Test" or some such and use a unique project database name : Test_ProjectServerData
there is much more you could do, for isolation into a private content database for example.
to use a different port, then you need to setup a web application on a different port and proceed as above, selecting that web app to start from.
if the basic action of new pwa site provision is not working, then it may suggest there is something systemmically wrong with the setup.
let us know,
Thanks, Eric S. Pcubed

2012 Essentials and Backup Domain Controllers

I understand that 2012 Essentials wants to be the domain controller but what happens if I install a second one on the same network/what is the option for a backup domain controller? Is it recommended to have one 2012E and one 2012S?

As far as I can find you can have a second "replica" domain controller, but you can only have one essentials box in the domain (so the replica would just be Windows Server standard), and that must be the master server, eg it must own the FSMO roles.
Check out
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2007/10/04/debunking-the-myth-about-additional-domain-controllers-replica-dcs-in-an-sbs-domain.aspx which covers many of the limitations and requirements. It doesn't relate to 2012, but I believe the same rules still
apply.

Configure and use push notifications for IOS - Xamarin

Is it possible to configure and use push notifications in SharePoint 2013 apps for iPhone Xamarin.
Recently I started creating a Xamarin application that supports both Android and IPhone application. So my doubt here is, Is it possible to create a solution in SharePoint Server for sending
push notifications and a client side iOS - Xamarin application for receiving the notifications.
If Possible how I can create the same. Please help. If it is not possible anyone please suggest me a workaround to implement the same.

This is not a permanent fix but through this you can easily use the apps
Go to Settings> General> Accessibility> Guided Access
Now tap the Guided Access and turn it on.
Now go straight to the app which is having this problem. After opening the app press the home button 3 times to activate the Guided Access mode.
After activating and choosing a password you'll see that there is no "connect to iTunes to use push notifications in ios 8.1" pop up any more.
If you want to leave the app press the home button three times again.
Thanks
It works 100%

HT201250 Can I partition my external hard drive and use one partion for time machine and the other one for data that i may want to use in different computers?

I have this doubt. I've just bought an external drive, especifically a Seagate GoFlex Desk 3 tb.
I want to know if it is recomendable to make a partion exclusively for time machine and let another one so I can put there music, photos, videos, etc that I should need to use or copy to another computer.
May half and half, 1.5 tb for time machine and 1.5 tb for data.
I have an internal hard drive of 500 GB (499.25 GB) in my macbook pro.
Any recommendation?

As I said, yes. Be sure your Time Machine partition has at least 1 TB for backups.
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two (2). Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
