Domain Join Policy According to Host Name list

hi all,
It is possible? we create a group policy to join domain only those computer join the domain that host name or specific pattern predefine in GP for example,
Host name:
ABC-123
ABC-456
ABC-789
only join domain for this pattern furthermore  any others host name are unable to join a domain .

Hello,
GPOs can be applied from domain computers or domain users, so they have to be already member from the domain BEFORE GPOs are applied.
But you should think about using WDS, MDT or other installation mechanism so you can predefine the used machines names.
There will be also scripted options available but therefore please ask in

  • BIND appends my domain to remote host names when querying

    I'm running BIND v9.3.0 on Solaris 8.
    All the zone files, named.conf, resolv.conf etc seem to be properly
    configured.
    I get normal name resolution for hosts located inside my v-lan.
    Sendmail works inside my v-lan.
    However, when I try to hit an internet site outside of my v-lan it
    won't resolv.
    So, setting nslookup to debug mode, I did a lookup of a remote host.
    The result is that, when my local dns is queried, the host name alone
    is used, like its supposed to
    i.e.
    ;;res_nmkquery(QUERY, hostname, IN A)
    This is a remote host so, obviously, my DNS has no record of it, so it
    tries the remote server. This is where the problem comes in. When
    the remote server is queried, my domain gets appended to the host
    name:
    i.e.
    ;;res_nmkquery(QUERY, hostname.MYDOMAIN, IN A)
    Since the host does not reside in my domain, obviously this fully
    qualified domain name will never resolve because it isn't correct.
    How do I make it stop????!!!!!

    I notice the following error logs in server :
    EXCH.xxxx.org.xx in the personal store on the local computer. Therefore, it is unable to support the STARTTLS SMTP verb for the connector Default Frontend EXCH with a FQDN parameter of EXCH.xxxx.org.xx. If the connector's FQDN is not specified, the computer's
    FQDN is used. Verify the connector configuration and the installed certificates to make sure that there is a certificate with a domain name for that FQDN. If this certificate exists, run Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Services SMTP to make sure that the Microsoft
    Exchange Transport service has access to the certificate key.

  • Lists: domain name host name?

    In the 'General' tab of the Mail service window in Server Admin I've got the following:
    Domain name: subdomain.mydomain.com
    Host name: mail.mydomain.com
    So my e-mail addresses like [email protected] work fine. But what's weird is that when I'm creating mailing lists , the internal users get added to it like this: [email protected]!? Why is it that? Why don't they get added with [email protected]?
    Because the problem is if they send something to the list, it gets denied because the mailing list considers them non-members!
    Any ideas what the problem could be and how to correct that?
    Thanks.

    All,
    From the Mail Service PDF Manual;
    "Adding a Subscriber to an Existing List
    This is the same procedure as adding a user to a newly created list.
    To add a subscriber to an existing list:
    1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computer & Services list.
    2 Click Settings.
    3 Select the Lists tab.
    4 Select the List to which you want to add a subscriber.
    5 Click the Add button under the Members pane.
    6 Enter the recipient’s email address.
    The email address must match the return address of the recipient to post messages
    without administrator approval.
    If a user was added via the “Users and Groups” button, the email address in the list will
    be in the form of “[email protected]”. If necessary, change the email address in
    the mailing lists panel of Server Admin to match the return address used by the client.
    7 Assign the subscriber privileges.
    8 Click OK."
    In other words, click in the user's email field and edit the address to suit - by default Mailman treats the list as belonging to the machine's host name, not to the email domain/sub-domain, which is the most logical since you could have multiple domains/sub-domains configured.

  • Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."

    Hi,
    Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."
    DC:windows Server 2008 R2
    Domain functional level:Windows Server 2003
    When Winxp join domain, have no this error message.
    I checked http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2018583?wa=wsignin1.0 does't work.
    There have 3 suggestion in this article:
    1.The "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" checkbox has been disabled in the IPv4 properties of the computer being joined.
    Doesnt's work.
    2.Connectivity over UDP port 137 is blocked between client and the helper DC servicing the join operation in the target domain.
    On my DC, I run netstat -an, reslut as below:
     UDP    192.168.20.3:137       *:*
    3.The TCP/IPv4 protocol has been disabled so that the client being joined or the DC in the destination domain targeted by the LDAP BIND is running TCP/IPv6 only.
    We are not using IPV6.
    This server recently updated from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. Before upgrade, when Win7 and Win2008 join this domain, also have the same error message.
    Please help to check this issue.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Guo Ying,
    I have faced this critical error which makes over-writes the host names in the domain when you join.
    For example: Already you had a host name called as PC.domain.com in the domain.com Domain.
    When you try to add the another host name called as PC in the domain.com Domain, it doesn't give you the duplicate name error on the network it does over-write the existing host name called as PC.domain.com & it will add the new host name into the domain.
    Host name which got over-written will get removed from the domain. I faced this issue in my project. My DPM host name got removed from the Domain & new host name got joined into the domain which halted my backups for one day.
    Final Resolution is as follows:
    You need to start the dns console on the DC & drop down the domain name.
    Select the _msdcs when you click on _msdcs it will show the Name Server's list on the right hand side.
    You need to add the Domain Naming Master under the _msdcs or add all the domain controllers which you had.
    After you add the Name server's try joining the PC OR Laptop to the domain which is successfully joins it.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the same shared folder can be accessed by name, but can’t be accessed be IP address and asks for credentials.
    Please try to enable the option below on the device which has shared folder:
    Besides, check the Advanced Shring settings of shared folder and confrim that if there is any limitation settings.

  • How to change host name and domain name in installed Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0?

    Hi
    I have  Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0 installed on server. Meting Place uses Linux (Red Hat) as base operation system. Please tell me how I can change host name and domain name for Meeting Place Express application to integrate it into corporate domain infrastructure.
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Sincerely yours
    Sergey Bondarenko

    Hi
    Thanks for your attention for my humble problem.
    I have performed Meeting Place Express configuration through the “net” command.
    But now unfortunately I can't connect to meeting place through web browser. I just get blank page.
    Though I can reach the server with help of ssh. I think my DNS works properly because I can resolve the ip address of  cumpxvoice .uclab.com and cumpxweb. uclab.com with help of dig command.
    Have you any idea?
    A lot of thanks in advance!!
    Sincerely yours Sergey Bondarenko
    Here I have printed the net configuration output of Cisco meeting Place Express:
    [root@cumpxvoice root]# net
    This is the MeetingPlace Express network configuration utility.
    Up to the point where you save changes, it is safe to hit ^C to get
    out at any time, in which case nothing will have changed.
    1) List current configuration
    2) Configure Ethernet port 1
    3) Configure Ethernet port 2
    4) Configure service bindings

  • Question about Domain and Host name fields.

    Hello! Just a quick question, I currently have the Mail Server up and running although I'm a little unsure about what exactly needs to be entered into the users email application.
    I've tested POP and IMAP using the information that I entered into the "Domain Name" field, and into the "Host name" field, and everything worked great.
    Example:
    Incoming Mail Server: mail.example.com
    Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.example.com
    Although while setting up another site and including the normal mail setup via DNS I've also noticed that I can send and receive email by using other sites that belong to me, as long as they are pointing towards our server.
    Example:
    Incoming Mail Server: mail.mynewsite.com
    Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.mynewsite.com
    So, I guess my question is whether its bad to use other websites in the incoming and outgoing mail server fields, or should I stick to the incoming and outgoing sites that I have listed in the Mail Server's 'Domain Name' and 'Host Name' fields?
    I hope that made sense, thanks again for your help.
    Paul
    PowerMac G5, Xserve G5, and PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    Does it matter if our users type mail.example.com
    into the incoming mail server, or are they allowed to
    use their own domain name "mail.mydomain.com" as long
    as the DNS is setup correctly?
    There is no intrinsic 'meaning' to hostnames entered into the mail client. These are merely converted to IP addresses, using available dns, and then the mail client communicates with the IP address, using whatever port number is applicable for the service required (e.g., port 25 for smtp, port 110 for pop). So you could use the hostname woohooo.mydomain.com for the smtp or pop server, as long as it resolves to the correct IP.
    This enables laptop users to have the one smtp/pop hostname, with lan dns resolving it to the local private IP and ext dns resolving same hostname to wan IP.
    There is also no need to have two separate hostnames for pop and smtp. These are typically used by ISPs because they have separate servers doing each job - one doing pop, one doing smtp. If one server does both (and there is no likelihood of splitting the services later) then just the one hostname for pop and smtp is fine.

  • Webpage using host name without domain

    Installed 10g successfully but when I try to naviagte the url is only using the computer host name without the domain. I keep getting the DNS_ERROR. If I manually append the domain in the webpage it works.
    Installed on Solaris 10.

    I doubt this has anything to do with Lion Server. it sounds more like the client settings.
    Did you add your domain to the list of search domains (System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> DNS).
    This list is the list of domains the client will search when looking up a unqualified hostname. Add your domain to this list.

  • How to join to virtual domain from windows 8.1 host ??

    Hi there
    does it possible to join to virtual domain from windows 8.1 host or not ??
    I installed windows 8.1 on my system as host windows and then enable windows 8.1 hyper-v and installed windows server 2012 r2 and installed active directory domain service 
    now I want to join to this domain from my windows 8.1 but I can't . I create a user in active directory users and comupers and do it's DNS but can't complete  .
    give me this Error that may be the domain name is not correct or the user name or password is incorrect 
    please help me how can I join to virtual domain from windows 8.1 host in my pc ??
    thanks
    Regards :
    Raha
    whit the best regard : Raha

    Yes, you can.
    You will need to configure the virtual network switch as either internal or external.
    Then, you'll need to specify the IP address of the virtual Domain Controller as a DNS Server on the Windows 8.1 device.

  • Mail server config inconsistent when host name differs from domain name

    Hi,
    I've installed Leopard server on host server.example.com but want to server email for example.com the host name for incoming mail should be mx01.example.com. DNS is setup properly resolving server.example.com and mx01.example.com (both forward and reverse, mx01 having a separate IP) and mx01.example.com is set as MX for example.com. Both IPs are routed to the internal server by the firewall.
    In Server Admin, server.example.com is set as computer name (also resolved to the proper internal IP by our internal DNS), and in mail settings -> General, domain name is set to example.com and host name to mx01.example.com (so that the mail server identifies itself properly when connected on port 25).
    Normal mail traffic works perfectly: Users can send and receive mail from/to addresses like <user_shortname>@example.com. I've got problems with mailing lists, though:
    First, group based mailing lists (for groups created in Workgroup Manager) have the wrong addresses: <group_shortname>@server.example.com. Those addresses are linked when you view the croup in Directory.app. You can send mails to eg [email protected] when connecting to the server via telnet on port 25, but get an error email ([email protected]>: mail for server.example.com loops back to myself, Reporting-MTA: mx01.example.com) back.
    Second, mailman based mailing lists also have the wrong addresses: <listname>@server.example.com and at the bottom of the mails received from the lists, there are also links to the lists web page with the url mx01.example.com instead of the host's name server.example.com.
    mx01 should only be used by incoming SMTP, but if this isn't possible, I could revert to using server.example.com for the MX record as well. But the email addresses should definitely use the domain name and not the full server name as domain part. This is a typical email server setup and I can't understand why leopard server handles this differently. Does anyone have a workaround for this or could tell me how to setup an email system properly?
    Thanks a lot in advance!!
    Cheers, Thomas

    Well, you pointed me into the right direction: Changing the mail server's host name helped a bit. I just dumped the name mx01.example.org. The host is called server.example.org and in mail settings, the domain name is set to example.org while the host name is set to server.example.com. The MX record will have to point to server.example.org, then.
    The server now accepts emails to group based mailing lists à la <group_shortname>@example.org. In Directory.app, the link the the group's mailing list still opens a new Mail to <group_shortname>@server.example.org, though.
    For mailman based mailing lists, the link to the list's listinfo page in the bottom of emails received from the list is now correctly pointing to server.example.org. The list's address shown there still is <list_name>@server.example.org.

  • Domain name/"primary DNS" name/mail host name/mail server name/mx name

    Hi,
    I have registered my domain name (N.com) with an external dns server and created an MX record (mail.N.com) for it as well. My server sits behind a router and internet traffic is port(80)-forwarded to my server's fixed internal ip address (I can access my webpages from the internet just fine). When I initially setup the server I was asked to give it a "primary DNS name." I naturally assumed that N.com was supposed to be entered here, but that just caused all kinds of problems (though I still do not understand why). So I reinstalled and currently have server.N.com as the primary DNS name of the server (although it shows up in Server Admin and Workgroup Manager as server.local--why is that?)
    I have had no luck getting any email from the internet with the default settings in mail services (domain name of N.com and host name of server.N.com). Having no luck with the defaults, I assumed that maybe I needed to change the host name to "mail.N.com" so that it matched the MX record. I also changed the user preferences in Workgroup Manager to receive mail from mail.N.com--but still no luck. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how come none of the Mail Service literature mentions anything about what a mail "host name" is supposed to be? Is it supposed to be the same as the "Mail Server" name that Workgroup Manager asks each user for? and is it the same as the MX record name?
    I am just needing some help to connect all these variously named, but undefined, dots.
    Also, how come I can access webmail from the internet using www.N.com/webmail but can't do it from any computers within my physical network (I have to use IPaddress/webmail or server.local/webmail)?
    Also, should my user email addresses be [email protected] or [email protected] (which is the current default)?
    Thanks in advance and good luck!
    John

    I had been told by a friend that ... regular email coming in from the internet would go through port 80
    Unfortunately you were misinformed.
    My MX record needs the extra subname (such as "mail") in front of the domain name, right?
    Not at all. A MX record for 'N.com' is entirely valid (expected, in fact).
    An MX record tells remote mail servers where to send mail for any domain/subdomain. If you think about it, let's say you worked for Apple and you wanted people to be able to send email to [email protected], well then you need an MX record for 'apple.com'.
    You can see if you dig MX apple.com that they actually have 9 MX records, but the point still stands.
    Now, you might also have MX records for subdomains so that you can have [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. Each of these subdomains would need a separate MX record.
    So, in general, for any set of email addresses @[anything.]domain.com you have a MX record telling remote mail servers where to send that mail.
    Of course the MX record name is mail.N.com, but I think you are implying that the in the Mail settings of Server Admin where it asks for domain name all I need to put there is the N.com, right?
    What I mean is that you need to set the domain name to whatever domain name you expect to receive mail at.
    If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected], then you enter 'N.com'.
    If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected] then you enter 'mail.N.com'.
    If you want both forms, enter one in the main domain and add the other(s) in the Advanced -> Hosting -> Local Host Aliases section.
    Is there anything in the Mail settings that needs to have the full MX record name (mail.N.com)?
    Yes. Either the 'domain name' or the 'Local Host Aliases' needs to contain the same thing as your MX record. That's because the MX record tells remote servers to send mail to this machine, but the machine won't accept the mail unless it is configured to do so.
    What is the "host name" supposed to be?
    This should be the name that remote servers see when this machine tries to send outgoing mail.
    Ideally this should match the reverse DNS of your IP address, that way when it connects to a remote server it says "Hi, I'm $hostname" and the remote server can lookup the machine's IP address and see the same result. This will reduce the problem of remote servers thinking you're sending them spam.
    If you only have a single IP address then this probably needs to be something like 'N.com'. If you don't have control over your reverse DNS then you're going to run into a problem.
    Also in the user accounts (in Workgroup Manager) what should the "mail server name" be? Is it the host name or the domain name?
    Off hand, I don't know.
    Also, why are all the default user email addresses [email protected] (the name I gave the server at setup)? Why doesn't the user accounts create [email protected] as the default address?
    Presumably because the mail server says it is 'server.N.com' and therefore any accounts on that machine would be [email protected]. Changing the domain name (as above) should fix that.

  • Can Hyper-V host join a domain of a virtual machine domain controller on that same host?

    Learning about Failover Clustering with Hyper-V. I have two hyper-v nodes(servers). I want to add them to a failover cluster, but it said that the nodes must be in a domain to join failover cluster.
    Can I create a domain controller role on a virtual machine hosted on that same node and join that node to the domain?
    Can I just create a role on one of the two nodes along with hyper-v role and join the second node to the domain?

    You can create
    an AD VM and join the Hyper-V host to it in Server 2012 (or Hyper-V Server 2012, the preferred OS for running a Hyper-V Cluster). This did
    not work in any previous version of Windows.
    This would be a really horrible idea for a production environment, but suitable for a lab/training.
    Also, you only need one host/node to form a cluster (though it probably throws errors/warnings if you do)
