Help! DNS name changed without warning!

Hi all,
I have been trying to get my VPN to work recently to no avail. I decided to change my router's IP address 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.3.1 as I read that this may cause issues when connecting to a VPN. However, when I checked on Server Admin, I noticed that my DNS had changed from a .com to a .local.
Is there anyway to revert the DNS back to the original name?
Best,
Oli

If I understand correctly...
You force powered down the Mac with the power button, and then turned it back on again, and your wife could log in to her account without entering a password - is that correct?
It sounds like somehow her password got changed to a blank one. I've never heard of a bug that could cause this - are you sure that either of you didn't change the password to a blank one?
PS any administator's username and password can also be used to unlock another user's screen - if it happens again you can use the password of your own admin account.

DNS Name Change

We need to make a DNS name change on the SRM/Oracle box. What changes need to be done in the SRM application to make this happen.
i.e The current web address is srm.ts.co.company.com
We need to make the change to srm.lb.co.company.com
Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

hi,
You just need to maintain the new DNS in the table TWPURLSVR and the host file.

HELP, my macbookpro reboots without warning

Sometimes, while i use the trackpad, either dragging one file or selecting multiple rows, the macbook pro reboots.
The only thing in common to all reboots is that the system freezes for 4-5 seconds and then reboots without warning. console doesn't report anything. it has always happened while using the trackpad, but i seldom use the mouse, so i can't say if this would happen with the mouse too. Also, it happens when i use the trackpad one-handed, holding the button with my thumb and dragging with another finger.
When the system reboots it takes longer than usual.
Any idea? how can I find out what is wrong without reformatting the whole thing??
Thanks
Andrea

Take a look at this thread:
Is my P.S. the problem?
I had a similar problem. I'll bet you are experiencing a stop error called MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION. I causes a very fast reboot once the blue screen appears. I posted a link in that thread to the explanation on the Microsoft website.
There's a couple of potential causes, including an insufficient power supply, incompatible RAM, processor too far out of spec (OCd) or high temperatures. I'm pretty sure my problem is due to the PS... hope this helps you narrow down your troubleshooting some.
Its my understanding that only a couple of passes of Memtest will be sufficient in this case to verify RAM compatibility, because any more than that and the power supply will become stressed (remember increasing heat in the PS decreases its efficiency), possibly confounding your little experiment...

Communicate with cRIO when IP Address and DNS Name changes over Network Variables

I am developing a LabVIEW software for an European Project using cRIO-9074 and RT Application Reployment to update all cRIO devices with the last version.
To communicate with the cRIO devices I have also developed some applications that are outside cRIO on LabVIEW Project that uses Network Variables to Read/Write to the devices.
When I am developing the software, everything works just fine because the LabVIEW Project knows the IP Address on my cRIO device. However, when I use RTAD to install the software and then my applications outside the LabVIEW Project, the aplications are, not always able to find the device when the IP address changes.
I have tried to replace the IP Address with the DNS Name but no success. When I change the router that is connected to the cRIO, the DNS Name also changes.
With this, my question is how can I solve this sistematic problem? Should I change any configuration on MAX, in LabVIEW Project and/or in the applications to be able to always find the cRIO? Is it possible to have a field on the application to insert the IP Address of the device to connect? If yes, how can I do this?
Best regards,

Quintino,
You can programatically open connecitons to Shared Variables. This allows you to decide at runtime the IP address, lib name and SV name you wish to connect to. I've attached a vi snippet the demonstrats an Action Engine to handle the connection to a SV named "Parameters".
I normally store the cRIO_Settings in a .INI file that is easy to modify.

My Oracle Forums Handle Name Changed without my notice!!!

Hello Oracle Forums Moderators,
I joined Oracle Forums 04/04/08 with and email address (1). I decided to change my email address and handle names, so my forums handle name is cutedba and my email address is (2). I already had like 8 posts in oracle forums. Today when I logged to oracle forums I found my handle name is user8722709 and my posts resets to only one post (with this thread, it will become two posts).
and my joining date became 08/19/09.
I went to the control panel and edited the profile and handle name to cutedba. I received the following message:
"The handle you are trying to update is already being used, please identify any other value and retry."
and I logged as my new email address (2) as usual. Please fix this for me. Because I am the cutedba in Oracle Forums.
I also want to mark one of the threads I created earlier as answered but I can't the forum thinks I am not the author of that thread:
How to install multiple oracle homes in oralce 9i on unix
Thank you and best regards,
cutedba

Ok, let's see if I understand this clearly (cos if I don't then I'm sure the site admin won't)...
1. You created an account (let's call it "Account 1")...
Acount 1:-
Email Address: [email protected]
Forum Notifications Email: [email protected]
Handle: {default}
2. You created a second account (let's call it "Account 2")...
Account 2:-
Email Address: [email protected]
Forum Notifications Email: [email protected]
Handle: {default}
3. You modifed Account 1 to change the Forum Notifications Email and the handle:
Account 1:-
Email Address: [email protected]
Forum Notifications Email: [email protected]
Handle: cutedba
That's right.
all my forum participation were updated including post numbers.
What was updated? All you did was change your notification email and your handle on Account 1?You are right.
I also successfully login using email id (B) with the password, no issues.Yes, I dedicated an email account for oracle stuff and I used it to create an oracle account (Account B) because I couldn't delete/disable Account A from oracle.
>
4/ submitted a new thread in oracle forum as in the link I mentioned earlier.I don't see that has any relevance.correct!
5/ when I visited back Oracle Forums Today, I saw that my post count reset to 1 (last reply) and the system identified me as a different user (user8722709) than cutedba. I went to the Control Panel and Modified the Name Handle for forums back to cutedba . I received the message mentioned earlier.Which account did you log on as?Account B
It seams that Oracle forums end me up with two identities!!But you created two, so there will be two. ?:|Because oracle will not delete/disable account A
Please I need you to help on fixing this issue.I'm just a user of OTN like yourself, I can't fix it, I'm just trying to help ascertain exactly what you've done.I understand, thank you for help and make this issue clearer even to me ;-)
One more thing, I logged in to oracle forums using email (A) and my profile cutedba is there.Brilliant, that's what I'd expect.
I went to the Control panel and found the Username is still with email (A) but the forums email is with email and (B).Exactly, that's also what I'd expect.
But why still the the username did not changed and my profile is not updated yet?On which account?Account A
Occasionally, if OTN have been doing upgrades or such things, I believe the forums will move across to the failover servers, so sometimes changes to profiles may not be picked up or transferred back to the main servers. However, you said you'd logged in with Account 1 and it said cutedba on it.
I think it is the same bug in the forums.
I feel this too.
I wish if OTN has the ability to allow users to delete account that are no longer necessary, like my case here. Account A is no longer necessary for me but if switched the handle names between account A and B, I still can't get the credits and links for Account B profile.
How to report OTN bugs?
Regards,
Cutedba

DNS names keep "flikkering" randomly in Apple Remote Desktop

Hi there,
Since the update to ARD 3.7 all my DNS names keep 'switching' randomly between the several Computers (14) i have in the network.
On site.. if you open ARD you see the DNS names changing every second or so.. to a random other name, which is also in the network. Often there are to the same DNS names (the computer name stays stable)
This wasn't the case in ARD 3.6.2.. and as a result .. is is now very hard to work with the machines via a remote VPN.. (it works but is is terrably slow)
any how i searched the net.. and one conclusion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4190442
that nothing is wrong.. is not a good and correct answer in my opion..
because i have really seen working remote with ARD through a VPN tunnel (wich have not changed.. the only thing changed was ARD 3.7 and Maverick on most machines)
Any how.. i any one out there has any suggestion.. please let me know..
(its a 40 minute drive to the other place every time)
Greetz
CJ

Well, add my 50 computers to the list!
When I did the upgrade to ARD 3.7 on OS 10.8.5 all user names and passwords for those 50 computers were lost! Had to re-add them all one-by-one
... and after closing ARD the passwords were gone again Then I did a Permission Repair and at least this problem was fixed and the passwords "re-appeared" (I'm not sure whether this problem occured because I use a standard user account for work).
Anyway, later, I swapped the IP's of two OS X servers and modified their DNS entries accordingly. nslookup is properly resolving the names but ARD goes berserk with those two servers and always keeps using the wrong, 'historic' host names and/or IPs.
It has been annoying for quite a long time and many ARD versions that you could not override this stupid ARD name caching behaviour (or whatever it is) by manually editing the ARD clients host name/IP (hey, Apple, did you ever hear about "nslookup" or "dig"?). In ARD 3.6.2 it finally seemed to be fixed and now they re-introduced this buggy behaviour again!!!
If they are not able to program a query for the correct and current data, they should at least allow me to edit this information manually and permanently. This information must not be overwritten by any bizarre automatic mechansim using data that are completely out of date.
Does anybody know where the host name/IP information of the clients is stored and if it might be edited brute force? Or at least if there is a cache that can be emptied?
Hope this will be fixed soon and finally forever!

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.
BR

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.

Do you even know how to nuke and re-set Photoshop's preferences, colorplak? Your last post seems to reveal that you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here's a link you can click on:
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CC Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
Note for Photoshop 14.1 and later: If you use Generator and reset your Preferences, Generator is disabled. Choose Preferences > Plug-ins to turn it back on.
Video: Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Change peer DNS name

Hi
I'm using SGD 4.20.959.
Can I change the peer DNS name of my SGD without reinstall it???

not really. The best way is to reinstall. You can do so and not lose any configuration. Use the
$ tarantella uninstall
command, with no --purge option and reinstall with correct FQDN peer name.

NAS disk name changed - HELP!

I use a NAS for backups and external storage. At some time in the past week, my backup operations stopped working, and I think I have tracked down the source of the problem. Somehow, an "extension" got added to the disk name (I did not do this and I am not sure how it happened). The disk name (Cosmos) has not changed, but when right click and choose "get info", in the "Name and Extension" section, the disk shows up as Cosmos-1. Unfortunately, the name is greyed out and I can't change it. Does anybody know how I can remove the -1 extension and change the name back to Cosmos so that my backups see the disk again? HELP!

Open up Applications > Utilities > Terminal
Type in
cd /Volumes/
("Change Directory to /Volumes/")
and then
ls -a
(list all the files in this directory)
and you will probably see Cosmos and Cosmos-1, among others. Eject the Cosmos volume if you haven't already, then go back to Terminal. Type in
rm Cosmos
("remove the file called Cosmos")
Now mount the drive again and it should be able to take the name "Cosmos" without adding the '-1' suffix.
These phantom volumes can sometimes appear when a command tries to copy files to a volume without actually mounting it first. It is likely that wahtever you are using to make backups isn't properly waiting for the drive to mount before it tries to do a backup.

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

Possible to change DNS name?

Hi all,
I would like to chnage the name of my DNS name(currently server.mydomain.com) as I have recently purchased a VPS that I would like to give the sever.mydomain.com name to. The current DNS name is purely internal and does not relate to anything outside the server or router that it is behind. I have already unresolved the IP to the DNS Name at a public level in anticipation of the new VPS.
Is it as simple as changing the DNS name in Server Admin, or do I need to do something at root level?
Any ideas owuld be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Lewis
This has been discussed many times before. Use the changeip command. A search would reveal how to use it or you can simply consult the manual page for correct usage, man changeip.
Alternatively you could consult the Admin Manual?

Changeip command? Trying to view or change the DNS name of a computer.

Hey guys, I did a time machine on computer but it is still remembering the old DNS name.
I looked it up and it looks like you can use the changeip command to change the DNS name but when i try and run the command it says changeip command not found.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi
Apple have changed (sic) the changeip command. In 10.6 Server it now does not have the same functionality it used to have in previous versions. Reason being it was not always successful in doing what it was supposed to do. To change the hostname use scutil:
sudo scutil --set HostName thenameyouwant
The changeip command does not exist on the client OS.

Classic app changed to epma application without warning

Hi!
I have an application which was initially created as classic planning application. (version 931)
Today when I opened this application I noticed that dimension members were not editable any more, which led me to think that application has "evolved" to an epma application.
I do not remember having upgraded application (have just checked if it was upgradeable, even today it is upgradeable???).
When I browse application library this application is not visible anywhere there. So it seeems that it is not an epma application, but it does not have the classic application features either.
Can I somewhere check whether this application is currenty classic or epma?
Is it possible to copy epma application to classic application using copy app (just wild question...) I think i already know the answer, but has anybody tried?
kind regards,
user637777
Edited by: user637777 on 10.12.2009 5:24

Have you eve used the EPMA file generator as I have seen it change the classic settings so it looks to be an EPMA application without warning.
You can revert it back go into the planning system tables.
First look in the HSPSYS_APPLICATION, note down the APP_ID for the planning app in question.
Next go into the table HSPSYS_PROPERTIES, look at column PROPERTY_NAME = EDIT_DIM_ENABLED for the ID you had in the step above, change the PROPERTY_VALUE from false to true.
Restart Planning application service.
Ok?
Cheers
