@ host record

I am trying to point my root host record to my public ip address that is the same as my www hosted outside of my network. I can't put in @ in DNS to represent that. I know at one point when you created a zone it would automatically create that @ record but I had to remove mine because it went to the OS X server hosting the DNS. Can anyone point in the right direction for creating a @ host record on Mac OS X Server 10.5?
Thanks

Hi Dan,
Unfortunately I don't have an OES2 box in front of me. But I did find this documentation: Novell Doc: OES 2 SP3: Novell DNS/DHCP Administration Guide - Using iManager to Manage DNS
It should be sufficient to walk you through the creation of a resource record in iManager.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers,

  • DHCP Reservation Sync and DNS Host record sync etc shown in IPAM GUI

    Hello all,
    I am aware of the scripts in the TechNet script center to sync DHCP leases etc to IPAM, however my question is about something else -
    If you highlight an IP address (IP address inventory->select an IP), You can see fields that say: "DHCP reservation sync", "DNS PTR record sync" and "DNS host record sync" as below:
    I was curious as to what these are for. Is there some built-in sync functionality for these that I perhaps have not enabled? (Don't see such options any where..)
    thanks,
    -Ravi

    Hi  Ravi ,
    The three columns tell us the information of the synchronization between IPAM server and DNS server (or DHCP server) .
    Here is the detailed guide for using IPAM :
    Using the IPAM Client Console :
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj878351.aspx#inventory
    IPAM can sync DNS and DHCP records .
    The IPAM database is separate from DHCP and DNS servers on our network ,and full synchronization of hosts and IP addresses between IPAM and managed DNS or DHCP servers does not occur automatically
    unless we have configured automated tasks to perform this synchronization .
    For detailed information ,see
    DNS and DHCP record synchronization chapter in the following link :
    Multi-server Management :

  • Can DNSServer Powershell module cmdlets be used to add a host record with a blank name? i.e. "(same as parent folder)"

    Giving Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA a blank name yields an error (basically saying that the 'Name' parameter cannot be null or empty). In DNS Manager (dnsmgmt.msc)
    adding such a host record yields a record with the same name as the parent folder, denoted by "(same as parent folder)" in the Name column.
    Is there some flag I can pass to Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA to achieve the latter functionality? Is there some other way to achieve this in Powershell?
    I currently have the line of PS below, and if $name="" I get the error.
    Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA -IPv4Address $ip -ZoneName $zone -Name $name -ComputerName $dns

    Thanks, Calin!
    This could be added as an example here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj649925.aspx
    Now that I see your answer Example 6 looks like it was supposed to use -Name "." but part of the line is missing so it just looks broken instead.

  • DNS host record

    We recently successfully decommissioned a child domain. However, we have found a non-domain system which was referenced in the child domain DNS as a host record - xyz.child.root.com
    Where can I add this host record in the root.com domain, so it can resolve to services contacting that name?  The child domain no longer exists.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    What does a non-domain system record mean?
    This host record seems
    for a computer located in child domain. If this record is for a computer located in child domain, this record will not efficient.
    To add a host record to root domain, you can create a new host record in the root domain and input the corresponding IP and record name for the new record.
    Besides, after you decommissioned the child domain, you can run dcdiag /test:DNS to check the health of DNS.

    Erin

  • DNS Host Records Missing

    Hi,
    We are having an issue where DNS Host records seem to be missing, a user logs on and they don't get their group policies. They can logon again and get their group policies. However the DNS Host record is still not created on the DNS Servers.
    If we reboot the PC the DNS record is created. What is going on.
    We have 2 DC's running DNS, and one of them runs DHCP.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that client does not registry record in DNS server when user logon. And the DNS record will be created after rebooting the client.
    DNS updates can be sent for any of the following reasons or events:
    1. An IP address is added, removed, or modified in the TCP/IP properties configuration for any one of the installed network connections.
    2. An IP address lease changes or renews with the DHCP server any one of the installed network connections. For example, when the computer is started or if the
    ipconfig /renew command is used.
    3. The ipconfig /registerdns command is used to manually force a refresh of the client name registration in DNS.
    4. At startup time, when the computer is turned on.
    5. A member server is promoted to a domain controller.
    A user logon behavior will not trigger DNS update/registry. You may Open CMD on client and type
    ipconfig /registerdns command to manually force a refresh of the client name registration in DNS. 
    If I have any misunderstanding about your question, please correct.

  • DNS host records priority

    Hi,
    We are using EPM (Enterprise Project Management) in our organization.
    We have to provide access to it from three different subnets:
    Local
    Organization1
    Organization2
    The DNS already added the host record for the local IP. Ex.: srvepm 192.168.0.1
    Then we added two other host records for the other subnets.
    Ex.: srvepm 192.168.10.1
    and
    srvepm 192.168.20.1
    We have an alias to that server: epm (that is related to the srvepm server)
    It works fine. But, some machines in our organization keeps getting the other IP addresses from the DNS and this is making the service unavailable for those machines.
    What I did is unchecking the "Register this connection's addresses under networking settings.
    But when the server was rebooted the three host records were erased and it keeps shuffling it to the machines.
    Anyone knows a way to fix this problem or how can I set priority on host records so it doesn't makes that anymore?
    Hope I was able to show my problem correctly.

    Since the app is not AD aware, it's using Netmask prioritization. Here's more on it below - and sorry for all the links. It's a heavy topic with lots of factors governing it. If the app was AD aware, then we would create AD Sites, and let AD handle it.

  • How to create and access a Virtual Host on the J2EE WAS?

    Hello, I have searched through the Forums and help.sap.com and found a lot of information on how to set up a Virtual Host on the J2EE server but am having issues with it working.
    The goal is to provide a simple virtual host on the J2EE Portal server to host some static image and HTML files. Previously I had stored these files in the standard publicly accessible SAP J2EE folder location /usr/sap/<SID>/JCxx/j2ee/cluster/serverx/apps/sap.com/com.sap.engine.docs.examples/servlet_jsp/_default/root/. This location is resolved to when using the URL <host>:50000 for example.
    The main issue here is that during Portal support pack applications this folder gets wiped out and we have to remember to save off any custom files and folders in this location and replace them.
    I would like to create a virtual host to store these static files (i.e., branding-image.jpg, etc...).
    I have run through the process of creating the virtual host both using Visual Administrator and <host>:50000/nwa but am not able to get the virtual host name to resolve properly.
    The following are the steps that I have taken. Let's assume the standard SAP portal (i.e., xSS, etc...) is running properly on <host>:50000.
    1. create virtual host via Visual Administrator/NWA called 'sapwebserver1' by using the Create Host option (takes on the attributes of the 'default' standard virtual host)
    2. change the root directory for this virtual server to a custom folder at E:/tmp/mimes (where E:/usr is where the J2EE files are all installed), no start files were set up and nothing else was changed in the new virtual host record, no permissions were changed on the /tmp/mimes folder from whatever the default Windows user permissions are normally set, I am using a local Windows  administrator account but I have not seen any reference in the help files or the examples that indicate that any specific permissions updates need to be made on the virtual host root folder
    3. restarted the J2EE server as well as the HTTP Provider service
    4. before updating the company DNS, I wanted to test this locally on the server and so have updated the server's local HOSTS file with a <host IP address>   sapwebserver1 entry
    5. from that server I can ping the sapwebserver1 virtual host name and it resolves properly to the machine's physical IP address
    According to all of the documentation and examples I have seen I should now be able to (from that server) launch a browser and access the static files in the virtual host by referring to http://sapwebserver1:50000/branding-image.jpg for example. This is not working and the browser just brings up a Cannot display the web page error in IE. By referring to the virtual host name sapwebserver1:50000 it's supposed to hit the J2EE server and based on the host name sapwebserver1 realize that it should resolve to the root directory E:/tmp/mimes. This is not happening. Just as a test I have created a copy of the 'default' virtual host and called it sapwebserver2, updated the local HOSTS file for this entry, and tried to see if that would work like the 'default' host. My expectation was that http://sapwebserver2:50000 would behave the same was as http://<host>:50000 but it too fails to resolve just like the sapwebserver1 virtual host refernce.
    Would anyone happen to have any pointers on what to do next? I just want a simple virtual host to be able to serve up some static images and files.
    Thanks for any insight or assistance you might be able to provide here.
    Graham

    This defeats the purpose of trying to centralize SAP-related web resources on the SAP server. Typically IIS/Apache or other non-SAP servers are under the control of IT and not the SAP BASIS group.
    We simply would like to have a centralized location to store static web files so that they are not overwritten during Portal support pack applications.

  • Video missing from recording

    Hello, one of our clients has a hosted recording with video that has been working fine until recently.  When playing back the recording, the video is now missing and just shows a black screen where the video footage should be.
    We have tried on both Windows and Mac and reinstalled Flash Player, but the video does not load.
    How do I troubleshoot this?

    There is an updated Adobe Connect Add-in located from any Adobe Connect meeting room under the Help menu item on the far right of the room.
    Here is a direct link to the always updated version of the add-in:
    http://www.connectusers.com/downloads/
    That add-in will work with Connect 7.5 and 8.
    Make sure with Connect 8 you have updated your Adobe Flash Player to version 10.1 or the latest which is 10.2. 10.3 is in beta now.
    You have to use Flash 10.1 with Connect 8 to take advantage of some significant features including enhanced audio and VOIP, using Adobe Presenter content to upload to Connect 8, Screen Share pod and the File Share pod. This is an important consideration.  There are very significant desktop performance improvements with Flash 10.2 using the GPU for many of it's graphic functions which reduces the load on the CPU.

  • DNS Scavenging - Which Record are scavenged?

    I am about to enable scavenging in a domain that has never had scavenging enabled properly.  There are hundreds of records with old time stamps.  We have done our due diligence in researching records to disable deleting the old record if it has
    an old time stamp.  Previous admin's would let a server grab a DHCP server and then static IP the DHCP address.
    I know that Event ID 2501 will give me a summary of how many records were scavenged.  I seem to remember that (its been a while since I have been in a mess like this), there is a way to get a list/log of the records that were scavenged.  I hope
    we have all the records set, but I the first scavenging period may be painful.
    Is there a way to get a list of each record that was scavenged?

    You might want to setup DHCP credentials and add the DHCP server to the DnsUpdateProxy group. This way it will update the IP of the host instead of creating another one.
    And you really don't want to go below 24 hours with a lease, because technically scavenging is in multiple of days. And you must set the scavenging NOREFRESH and REFRESH values
    combined to be equal or greater than the DHCP Lease length.
    DHCP DNS Update summary:
    - Configure DHCP Credentials.
      The credentials only need to be a plain-Jane, non-administrator, user account.
      But give it a really strong password.
    - Set DHCP to update everything, whether the clients can or cannot.
    - Set the zone for Secure & Unsecure Updates. Do not leave it Unsecure Only.
    - Add the DHCP server(s) computer account to the Active Directory,  Built-In DnsUpdateProxy security group.
      Make sure ALL other non-DHCP servers are NOT in the DnsUpdateProxy group.
      For example, some folks believe that the DNS servers or other DCs not be
      running DHCP should be in it.
      They must be removed or it won't work.
      Make sure that NO user accounts are in that group, either.
      (I hope that's crystal clear - you would be surprised how many
      will respond asking if the DHCP credentials should be in this group.)
    - On Windows 2008 R2 or newer, DISABLE Name Protection.
    - If DHCP is co-located on a Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2012, Windows 2012 R2,
     or NEWER DC, you can and must secure the DnsUpdateProxy group by running
     the following command:
      dnscmd /config /OpenAclOnProxyUpdates 0
    - Configure Scavenging on ONLY one DNS server. What it scavenges will replicate to others anyway.
    - Set the scavenging NOREFRESH and REFRESH values combined to be equal or greater than the DHCP Lease length.

    I also recommend reviewing the discussion in the link below:
    Technet thread: "DNS Scavenging "
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/334973fd-52b4-49fc-b1d8-9403a9481392/dns-scavenging
    Some other things to keep in mind with registration and ownership to help eliminate duplicate DNS host records registered by DHCP:
    =====================================================
    1. By default, Windows 2000 and newer statically configured machines will
    register their own A record (hostname) and PTR (reverse entry) into DNS.
    2. If set to DHCP, a Windows 2000, 2003 or XP machine, will request DHCP to allow
    the machine itself to register its own A (forward entry) record, but DHCP will register its PTR
    (reverse entry) record.
    3. If Windows 2008/Vista, or newer, the DHCP server always registers and updates client information in DNS.
       Note: "This is a modified configuration supported for DHCP servers
             running Windows Server 2008 and DHCP clients. In this mode,
             the DHCP server always performs updates of the client's FQDN,
             leased IP address information, and both its host (A) and
             pointer (PTR) resource records, regardless of whether the
             client has requested to perform its own updates."
             Quoted from, and more info on this, see:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd145315(v=WS.10).aspx
    4. The entity that registers the record in DNS, owns the record.
       Note "With secure dynamic update, only the computers and users you specify
            in an ACL can create or modify dnsNode objects within the zone.
            By default, the ACL gives Create permission to all members of the
            Authenticated User group, the group of all authenticated computers
            and users in an Active Directory forest. This means that any
            authenticated user or computer can create a new object in the zone.
            Also by default, the creator owns the new object and is given full control of it."

  • SAP GE: Host Activation action

    Hi all,
    While configuring global employee in SAP, I encounter error while running "assignment activation" from the front end.
    By default under user parameter, Action type is 82. However after execution it gives error that personnel " Action type 82 is not for Activation of Global Employee". Looking at T529A, there is neither an entry for 82  nor for 83. Looking at SAP help, it points that:
    "You can activate an assignment by means of the following personnel actions:
           1.      Host Activation (82)
    ·        A Host record is created provided that the status of the record on infotype Global Assignment Details    (0715) has been set to To be activated. The status is eventually set to In Progress.
    ·        A Home record is created with the status set to To be activated.
           2.      Expatriation (83)
    ·        Activate the assignment by means of the personnel action Expatriation (83).
    Am I required to create a new activation action for GE? If so what infotypes to use. Otherwise, how do I go about activating assignment. In IT0715 I can only change status to "To be activated" and am stuck here.
    Kind regards.

    Hi all,
    Bit of further research resolved above issue... SAP states action type 82 and 83 in SAP help, however, it also points towards feature ACTCE to check, it is there where instead of action 82 and 83 SAP delivered action type E2 and E3.
    Selecting above values (E2 and E3) solves the issue.

  • Is there a similar file to windows\ssytem32\drivers\etc\hosts in OS X

    Hi,
    I am running a Windows 2003 Server with several websites. I would like to view my websites from my new Imac, however I keep getting prompted for the user name and password for the router.
    In windows on my old computer I could edit the file C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts with the IP address and URL of the site and it would open. Is there a similar file in the Mac OS X 10.5.7 software.
    Many Thanks in anticipation

    {quote:title=Herr Lazaro wrote: > So if /etc/hosts works reliably I'll probably switch to it}{quote}
    Adding host records by editing the /etc/hosts file is not entirely reliably. Since Leopard, some people have reported issues of the added host records "mysteriously" disappearing, or Apache not being able to properly resolve the added hosts. The bigger issue is that the modifications in the /etc/hosts file can create unwanted side effects in the normal functioning of services like the mail server and others.
    Since Leopard, there has been an alternate way to add host records using the dscl utility. In fact, by many, it is considered the better, more reliable, and safer method.
    You can read this recent article to see how its done:
    http://tomafro.net/2009/07/dscl-the-easy-way-to-add-hosts-on-osx
    There are a number of additional articles on the web about using dscl for adding host records to OS X.
    The choice, of course, is yours. If you are using the /etc/hosts file without issue, then it might be safe to continue doing so. But, if your system starts experiencing domain name resolution issues or problems with services such as the mail server, you should consider switching to and using the dslocal database to manage your host records.
