Domain Name, Host Name and VPN help

When I connect to my office VPN and try to ssh to one the machine I always have to put domain name, for example:
ssh -X snorlax.xx.yy.com
Recently my office changed their VPN settings and this started happening. Earlier I was able to just use snorlax instead of typing snorlax.xx.yy.com
My mail client has also stopped working from home saying same thing: host cannot be resolved .
I was reading online about domain name but I'm not too sure how does this work.
Is it possible to append xx.yy.com before host name before resolving?
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
Thank you!

You could also directly assign the IP to the hostname and skip the dns lookup if you add it to /etc/hosts.
If you need more fine-grained control over hostname resolution you can use a local dns server like dnsmasq, bind (named), pdnsd, or unbound

  • Stored procedure for getting host name, host instance and status of that host is it running or stopped.

    Hello all,
    yesterday I got one task in that I have to stored procedure for getting host name, host instance and status of that host is it running or stopped.
    any body knows where exactly, In which table this details are there in BizTalk databases.
    thanks

    Status of the host instance is not stored in the SQL database for you to query the status using stored procedure. You have to either use Powershell or WMI to get the status.
    In SQL, following table contains the details about the host like Name, LoginName, IsDisables etc but status of the host instance is not stored in the database.
    SELECT * FROM BizTalkMgmtDb..adm_HostInstance
    Powershell to get the status:
    http://axonolympus.nl/?page_id=186&post_id=969&cat_id=6&lang=en
    WMI to get the status:

  • 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.

  • Domain name, host name - what goes where?

    So to clear the pipeline and reduce the amount of configuration, I decided to get rid of my router and plug my server directly into the modem, thus using the server as the gateway/router for other computers in my home. Hopefully this will eliminate the need for an internal/private network DNS configuration as well as an external/public DNS configuration.
    I have a registered public domain name of N.com and an associated public MX record for this domain which is also named N.com (as opposed to mail.N.com or something similar).
    I reinstalled the Leopard Server software and when the setup asked for a "primary DNS name" I named it N.com (the same name as my registered public domain). I went into firewall settings in the Server Admin and "allowed"/opened port 25 as well as 80 for email and web services respectively.
    When I looked in the Mail settings the default domain name is "localdomain" and the default hostname is N.com (the same as my registered public domain). Default user addresses are [email protected] I have no problem seeing the server's webpages from the internet, but I still cannot get any mail from the internet to show up in my user accounts.
    What more do I need to do?

    an educated guess-
    does the client's email system have something like Spam
    Assassin filtering
    incoming mail?
    is this cgi script matt wright's formmail?
    If yes to both- Spam Assassin is rating the formmail
    generated email as spam
    based on the subject line and default first line of text in
    the message
    body.
    A fix-
    1) hand edit the formmail script, find and change:
    Below is the result of your feedback form
    to any other text
    2) use the optional field to change the subject line from the
    default.

  • Domain name with DNS and VPN query

    When inside our VPN network computers dont recognise the domain name and have to use the direct IP address of the server to access services. Is that normal? Outside the domain works fine. In my Zone settings the machine IP address is the actual server IP. Should it be resolving to the VPN router's IP?

    Please explain your setup a bit further.
    What machine/router (gw) is doing VPN and what machine is doing DNS?
    If the LAN is using private IPs, VPN clients and LAN clients should be using only the same private IP DNS. Public IP DNS doesn't know about your private IP network.

  • Domain name/host name/external hosts

    I have an external website, for argument sake: waterworld.net
    I want to host the mail internally, and i have set up DNS records with my name registrar that has the A record point to my external web host, and I have created an MX record of "mail.waterworld.net" which points to the ip address of where I am hosting the mail server.
    Should i give my server a name that looks like a fqdn based on my website? or should it be called something simple like "server.loc"? currently, that is what I have done.
    Then in the general settings of the mail server, under Domain name (where it reads: enter the LOCAL internet domain name), should I use:
    server.loc
    waterworld.net, or
    mail.waterworld.net
    Then the next option, Hostname, I am guessing that is one of:
    waterworld.net, or
    mail.waterworld.net
    I have done a search, and the closest I have found was this post, but it's a different question based around a similar situation.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10580535&#10580535
    I am not a total newbie, and have been running my own mail server for a few years now, and I'm pretty sure I didn't do it correct last time, so thought I would try and get it right from the start this time. Sorry guys, if this is a really basic question, but I want to get this right.
    thanks

    Then in the general settings of the mail server, under Domain name (where it reads: enter the LOCAL internet domain name), should I use:
    [snip]
    This field sets the primary domain of the server - the domain it accepts mail for. in this case it would make sense to set 'waterworld.net'.
    Then the next option, Hostname,
    This sets the name it advertises itself as when sending outgoing mail. This should be mail.waterworld.net.

  • 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

  • Host Name Character Restriction

    Hi Guys,
    Is there any way to over come the 13 character specific as the max num of characters allowed in the host name while installing NW
    I am trying to install NW2004s.
    But my system is having a host name which includes the domain name and obviously goes beyond 13 characters.
    Anyway to overcome this.
    Thanks in advance
    Helpful anwsers will be awarded.

    Hi Rosin,
    Generally it will look like this:
    Computer Name: <name> (max 13 chars)
    Domain <domain>
    Full computer name: <name>.<domain>
    Why your host name includes the domain name?
    Also make sure that your computer name (host name) contains alpha-numeric chars.

  • Dialog Instance Host Name

    Hi,
    I am having a problem in SM51 where the dialog instance host name is the same as the central instance host name.
    Server Name     Host Name     Message Types                          Server Status
    HHA55_ECP_00     HHA55          Dialog Batch Update Upd2 Spool ICM J2EE       Active
    HHA56_ECP_00     HHA55          Dialog Batch Update Upd2 Spool ICM J2EE       Active
    We have a central instance and a dialog instance installed on seperate nodes in a HA cluster. This problem only happens when the message server runs on the primary node. When the message server is failed over to the node where the dialog instance runs the hostname for HHA56_ECP_00 is HHA56 which is correct. This is effecting load balancing and prevents me from signing on through the Portal with the HTML gui.
    I have checked the parameters for each of the instance profiles which are correct. The message server points to a virtual host and SAPLOCALHOST and SAPGLOBALHOST are correctly defined for each instance. I have setup each instance to use the logon group PUBLIC in SMLG. The hosts and services files are the same in each node of the cluster. I can successfully resolve the host names using DNS. Also the internal RFC destinations in SM59 are configured with the correct hosts.
    Does anyone know where the data for these host names is maintained?
    Thank you!

    I have solved the problem.
    I discovered the network bindings were being accessed in the wrong order.

  • 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
    5) Set host names
    6) Set domain name
    7) Configure DNS service
    8) Configure NTP service
    9) Configure routing

  • 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.

    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.
