Help with .local domain fix

Hi,
I'm trying to inplement the fix that is decribed here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4041 about creating reverse lookup zones and pointers. Although there is information there about it, it links to Microsoft's website with details about it but they're pretty vague. I was wondering whether anyone would be able to provide assisstance to someone without much DNS experience?
Thanks.

The workarounds or fixes discussed in that technical note are all sequences over on Microsoft Windows Server and involve the Windows Server 2008 DNS server.
Which particular sequence are you trying with Windows Server, and what's confusing you about it? (So that somebody here might be able help with this.)
What OS X Server version? If you're trying to do IPv6 on 10.6.8, AFAIK that involves manually editing the zone files, and that can perturb Server Admin.app. Based on a quick look, there's no IPv6 AAAA record support in the GUI. (But you're probably using the Microsoft Windows Server DNS servers?)
Which Windows Server?
The best fix is to register a real domain and migrate the local network and the domain servers over to that. The Apple networking engineers have recommended against using .local for DNS for a while. They've indicated they try to make this work, but that it likely won't be reliable. Microsoft is moving away from this, as well.

Help with Windows Domain Login on Mac

Hello Everyone,
We have two Mac Pros at my work running Mac OS 10.5.8 and they are attached to the Windows Server / Domain so when the Mac is turned on you login with your Domain credentials (using Win Server to Authenticate). Now all of this has been working fine since the computers were purchased a year ago, until two days ago that is. I turned on the Mac Pro in the morning and tried to login, and the Mac would freeze and do nothing. I restarted and tried again, using the same credentials I always use, but nothing worked. I called the IT guys and had my windows user account reset thinking that the password was expired, still didn't help, so I asked them to reset the whole account, still didn't help.
At this point I asked a few of my co-workers to login on my Mac using their login info, and they had no problems at all. I decided to dig deeper into this problem and logging in under a "local" Mac account I went into the "Accounts" preferences to check what was going on, to my surprise my Domain account was visible (normally it wasn't unless you were logged in) and under the account it said "sharing only".
I am still trying to figure out why my Domain account was changed from "Admin, Managed" to "Sharing Only"? So I decided that the easy fix here was to use a previously made (and tested) image file which I created when the Mac Pro was first setup and all the software was installed. So after cloning the image to the Mac HD I turned on the Mac and tried to login, again nothing happened. I can login using the local account, and my co-workers can login fine, but my domain login just refuses to work. I have also tired to login on other Macs in the department and I can login just fine on each one, the only Mac that doesn't let me login is my machine.
I have run out of ideas, short of re-installing the entire system from scratch.. which I really don't want to do unless I have to. But if anyone out there has any ideas I would more than welcome them.
Thanks in advance..

It's probably related to some type of DRM (copy-protection) on the digital copy, and not due to it being any particular type of file format. The DRM scheme probably only works under Windows. And if that is the case, I don't think you will be able to get it to work under Mac OS X, short of running VMware Fusions or Parallels Desktop (or Sun's free VirtualBox) and installing Windows to run under Mac OS X.
Considering the popularity of Macs recently, and higher use of Macs among creative folks, it's pretty stupid for the studio/distributor to make a key feature Windows-only.

Need help with sed to fix migrated web site links (part II)

I thought I had this fixed, but I didn't, so starting over:
I'm moving my web files from one host to another, and have backed up my directory called WEB into my user downloads folder. The site is dead simple, mostly links within the site, pages primarily text with some links to my photos posted on flickr, and a few outside links. I want to avoid opening/replacing/saving a hundred or more files to fix the links from "http://www.old_domain_name/user/my_username" to "http://my_new_domain_name"
A friend suggested the following scripts to do this
mkdir fix_urls
cd fix_urls
cp -r <wherever>/WEB .
cd WEB
xargs -0 egrep -i old_domain_name $(find * -name "*.html" -print0) > ../to_fix
cd ..
less to_fix
to see what needs changing, but after I've created and moved to WEB, the xargs command results in a zero kb file called to_fix appearing in WEB, and nothing else happens....and the prompt in terminal (myusername$) doesn't reappear.
I tried his part II anyway:
mkdir new_web
while read filename; do
      sed 's/\/www.old_domain_name/user/my_username/\/my_new_domain_name/' < WEB/$filename > new_web/$filename
done
diff -r WEB new_web > what_i_did
less what_i_did
and after the 'done', I get again....nothing. No new cursor gray rectangle, no new prompt, haven't even gotten to the last bit of diff to review the changes.
Any tips on what fundamental bone-headed thing I'm doing wrong?
and I got this helpful answer which seemed to have solved it, but didn't entirely:

I want to avoid opening/replacing/saving a hundred or more files to fix the links from "http://www.old_domain_name/user/my_username" to "http://my_new_domain_name"
If that's all you want to do then here's the pertinent sed command to do it:
sed -e 's,www.old_domain_name/user/my_username,my_new_domain_name,'
Syntax is a bit simpler when you don't use slashes as the sed substitute delimiters. You can use anything. Here I used commas.
I got excited too quickly after the first file I clicked looked correct--the first file in the subdirectory.
I see no indication in terminal that the process is going or ending--no sense of when I can close terminal and move on.
Checking the directory in finder shows no updates to 'date modified' for any of the files.
So how do I know if it is in progress, or done working, aside from opening random files to see if they're 'done'?
I've got three subfolders inside one folder (my WEB folder), and it looks like only the first file of the first subdirectory got repaired.

Here is a bash script to interate through all files in a folder of a given extension.
#!/bin/bash
# be sure to use Unix lineends -- linefeed \n
# Use TextWrangle for editing. It's free.
# http://www.barebones.com/products/TextWrangler/
# or nano in the terminal
# to make this file -- listFile.bash runable do:
# chmod u+x listFile.bash
# debug info
export PS4='+(${BASH_SOURCE}:${LINENO}):'
# remove the leading # in the line below to show debug info
# set -o xtrace
# first comes the directory/folder you want to search
# -name do a case independent search for all file ending
#       with the extension .txt
find /Users/mac/Desktop/iMac -iname "*.txt" | while read file
do
    echo
    echo "file to process is = " $file
    # replace the list command with your command.
    # You will need to place a $ in front of file
    # To avoid problems with blanks & other characters,
    # put " around $file, your variable.

Help with iWeb domain

Hi like many I am suffering from the Iweb problem of being unable to open domain files with iweb.
I'm using Lion latest version etc..
Im currently on the road away from my main machine..where my original site is..
I DO have my Time Machine external drive with me..
was wondering can i locate the same domain file that i use on my home mac on my time machine external drive?
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
I did manage to try Domain cracker which opened an older version of my domain but would not save any changes..
I hope someone can help..
Its a shame iweb isnt being used by Apple anymore many of the design functions are similar to ibook author and other stuff etc..
Its easy to use..i dont want to go to wordpress and other web editors are at this time cumbersome..
anyhow any suggestions on omy question would be greatly appreciated..

Read this topic :
Can't Open domain files
Then locate the domain file in Time Machine.
Its a shame iweb isnt being used by Apple anymore many of the design functions are similar to ibook author and other stuff etc..
Yes, a lot of functions are similar. Have been since 1984 with the introduction of Word processing and DTP applications. I consider myself lucky I was around at that time. Now I can apply most of the functions in current day applications.

Need help with Locale or language encoding

Hi,
I'm not sure about the right solution for my problem, but here's the problem:
I'm from Israel, and I write some jdbc code using Oracle 10 server. (Oracle version isn't important, it used to happen also with Oracle 8).
The problem is, that when exceptions occur, Oracle will return a string like ????.???????? since it tries to convert it to my local settings, and not displaying the message in English.
I need to display sql exceptions in a dialog so the support team can deal with data problems.
However,
The dialog doesn't display the messages correctly (not with question marks, though, but still unreadable).
My solution for the time being is to copy the message to the clippboard and let my user search the web or a translation program he has for the correct encoding.
I tried both setting the Locale to US using JOptionPane.setDefaultLocale(Locale.US) and I also tried the hebrew local (maybe the exception content will not be translated), but ti didn't help, as Oracle allready translated the messages for me.
I guess it's the use of encoding schemes that will solve that problem, but I don't know how to do that in my application.
BTW,
I'm using Intellij and my console also displays unreadable data,
I didn't find how to change it in my IDE's settings.
How can I display the data correctly?
Thanks.

I can't change anything in Oracle.
However, the problem is solved.
We used to use the Oracle driver for Oracle 8 with all of our systems,
but now we upgraded it to the driver compatible with Oracle 10,
and it returns values correctly.
BTW, I don't see it as a good solution, since I didn't realy solve the problem, I only bypassed it.
When I'll encounter it again with a non Oracle produce that doesn't support hebrew, I'll get stuck again.
But for now, it'll do.
Thanks anyway.

Work folders - certificates with .local domain

Hello,
We'd like to deploy Work folders in our domain.local environment.
Technet states that the certificate name should be the public URL workfolders.domainname and that for every file server a SAN needs to be listed. I was wondering how we need to implement Work folders as you can't add local server names anymore to public certificates.
For us, the public URL would be workfolders.company.eu and the server name is fileserver.company.local. Anyone already built a setup like this?

Hi Bram
Here is what i did.
in the situation, you have mydomain.local as your domain, but mydomain.com as your normal pubic domain.
I added workfolders.mydomain.com to my public DNS as an A record and point to the IP of that record to the gateway of my internet on my local server.
In my case, my local server would have been server.mydomain.local. I created a new zone in my AD DNS server called workfolders.mydomain.com. in there i create a blank A record with the ip of my local server.
in my router i portfoward port 443 to my ip of server.mydomain.local.
In IIS managament of the local server create a certificate request for workfolders.mydomain.com
obatian an SSL certificate for workfolders.mydomain.com from a place like godaddy.com and install in IIS and bind to port 443. You should only have the IIS core web services installed and NOT the full IIS.
when you setup workfolders on the clients, choose to enter an address and type https://workfolders.mydomain.com.
When you are local and you ping workfolders.mydomain.com it should point to the local server because of the A record you created local.
When you are out of the office, the public domain will then route to your server via your router and find the server.
This has worked for me and all syncs fine both local and over the internet

Need help with local authentication - WLAN 2100

Hello,
Please be gentle, I am not an experienced Cisco user. My organisation has inherited a Cisco 2100 WLAN controller as a couple of Aironet 1130 access points. I have been able to get a basic configuration into the 2100, as well as the access point, but I cannot figure out how to create a user account for WPA-PSK. We do not have any type of RADIUS or LDAP services available, so I just need a simple way to provide our users with one or two account names and network keys to access the wireless network.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

Need help with 3 column fixed in internet explorer

Hi, I'm having a major problem that won't go away. I'm using
an 3 column fixed style sheet, which renders fine in Safari and
Firefox, but won't in Internet explorerer. I always get about a
10px space between the left column and the content area that is
transparent. ( you can see the background.) Also the spry menu bar
is off to the right on i.e. ( don't know if that info. matters or
not) ANY suggestions would be appreciated! Tim from this forum has
been more than kind and re-wrote the whole code for the page. The
copy he sent me rendered fine, but when I deleted my files and
added his still had the problem. ( only this time the space is on
the left, last time on the right.) He did get the spry tabs to work
for me! I'm sure it's something stupid I'm missing on my end. Tim
is unbelieveably talented and way too nice to help me like this.
Anyone have any suggestions so I can leave poor Tim alone for a
little while!!! Thanks much

Hello,
Somehow a LOT of whitespace got added into a number of tags
in the code in
your copy vs the one I sent.
I removed it all and it works fine.
I sent you the page again.
Take care,
Tim

Help with local and remote site setups

i've always use dreamweaver to point directly to the dev server files and edit them, save them, and run them. i was the only developer for some time but now we have other developers onboard and we started experimenting with using subversion.
i need to understand how i can leverage the local site and remote sites with subversion so that we arent editing the remote files directly. ive played around with the setting and i think i need to GET the files and have it copy to my local site. however i cannot RUN the files since i dont have Coldfusion on my local machine its only on the DEV server. I used to make a change, press F12 to run the file and could see my changes. can anyone point me in the right direction?

First, move the styles from the form generator to the <head> of your document. Otherwise there is a possibility browsers could ignore the invalid code.
Then move your form div inside the banner div and set the attribute float:right; in your CSS for the form div. Then you should be good to go.

Please help with local network

I have set up local networks but this one is not working. I am trying to network two computers at my house. One says the address is cindy@localhost but when I use this address it says "This file server is running on your machine. Please access the volumes and files locally."
I am networked through an airport express and two routers (linksys and dlink). What does "localhost" mean? Why don't I get IP addresses like on other networks I have established elsewhere? Thanks.

If the machines stay on your network, you can also assign static IP addresses to the computers. They need to be in the same subnet that the router is using, but not be in the range of addresses the router is assigning via DHCP.
E.G. If the router starts assigning addresses at 192.168.1.100 and is allowing up to 50 users, the last address is will hand out is 192.168.1.149, so you can use 192.168.1.149 - 192.168.1.255 for your computers. It may be possible to use more depending on your subnet mask, but that range will always work.
You assign the address is the Network system preference on the TCP/IP tab for the interface (Ethernet or Airport) you are using. Switch from DHCP to Manual and enter the same subnet mask and router IP that are being automatically provided right now and enter a manual IP address from the range for your router.
If your computers move to other networks, you can specify this network as a new Location and would only have to switch locations to switch between DHCP addresses and the manual addresses for this network.

How to read the 'Input help with fixed values' of domain .

How to read the 'Input help with fixed values' of domain .
The domain has a Value range i want to read those values .
Are these values stored in any table ?
Plz help me i need it ver badly...
Thanks in Advance...

Hi Chandra Shekhar,
To read the 'Input help with fixed values' of domain , you can use the function module : HR_P_GET_FIXED_VALUE_TEXT.
iIf you enter the domain name, you will find the fixed values entered in the domain.
These values are stored in a table DD07L(DD zero 7 L). Here the values are stored based on domain name.
See if it works for you.
Award points if its helpful.

Create OD Kerberos record with Windows .local domain

I am in the process of setting up my open directory master that will be working in a golden triangle with our existing windows domain. Our windows FQDN ends with .local and all dns is running on this domain.
I am unable to create a kerberos record for the open directory because of the .local domain. The xserver thinks the FQDN is a Bonjour name and will not create the record.
If anyone has an Idea on how to work around this problem I would apreciate your help.
Thank you

Macbook pro with OS 10.6.4 cannot join Windows SBS 2008 .local domain

Hi,
I just had a windows SBS 2008 installed and it controls a .local domain where all my Windows7 PC's are connected to. I can access the internet wired/wirelessly but i cannot see any of the computers on the network at all, thus i cannot share files or share the printer which is connected to one of the local PC's.
I have read many threads indicating possible fixes but no one has been able to give me a permanent solution. Is this inability to connect my MAC to the SBS 2008 local domain fixable from my MAC or is it to be resolved from the SBS 2008 side? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings,
Download the combo update (don't install it yet): http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1400
