how do i change my dns server

on Your iMac?
Best to do it on the router.
But if you insist:
System Preferences
Network
Click on the network interface you want to adjust (Ethernet, AirPort)
Advanced button to the right
DNS tab.
good luck.

Pragmatically change the DNS server

I have been trying to figure out how to write a program to change the DNS server, like you can in the control panel. I have played with Resolv.conf and a whole bunch of low level APIs.
From the terminal window, things like nslookup work (use the right dns server) but Safari doesn't. It still is using the original DNS server. I can stop and start safari and go to web pages it has not visited before and it still uses the old DNS server, so its not just pulling up cached pages.
It seems the low-level API stuff doesn't work for higher level applications like Safari (its the only high level app I know of that uses DNS to test with).
What is the API to use to change the DNS server address such that everyone,, like safari, will use the new DNS address?

Yeah, but I am changing all the DHCP entries in the system and it still gets out. However, it is solved by updating the system config. I was just curious as to where it got its DHCP server info from when the system config was blank and resolv.conf was set to my DHCP server.

How do I change the DNS settings to BC but keep the MX setting for emails?

How do I change the DNS settings to Business Catalyst but keep the MX settings for emails?
I'm basically created anew site using Muse and want to host it on BC and upgraded to the Web basics + to allow for hosting of downloadable pdf's etc.
There are up to 50+ emails address set up on the current set up and I want to just change the NDS settings for the domain to ponit to the new site/hosting an not have to worry about them chaning all the meail settings etc.
Records do I need to change in BC?
Thanks
Iain

Hi,
You shouldn't need to do anything as long as you do not state hosting email with BC. Just ensure to check you DNS in a lookup tool that it's still referencing your external email service.
Otherwise you can set up external email set-up if the option is present.

You say you have the pse 5 disk?
I guess you do't have a dvd drive on your new windows 8 computer?
Do you have access to another computer with a dvd drive?
Anyway if you can find another computer with a dvd drive you could copy the pse 5 install disc to removable device like a camera card or flash drive.
You can also buy cheap usb dvd drives.

How can I determine what dns server the wifi client use within airport

How can I determine what dns server the wifi client use within airport
I want to use dns servers other then the one that airport extreme is using. For example I got the 172.16.1.1 (the default gateway - airport extreme), but I want to use the office dns servers, that are in a 10.x.x.x range.
Is there a possibility?
Thanks and happy eastern

The Airport Extreme uses the DNS servers assigned by the network that it connects to. Is you Airport Extreme on the 10.x.x.x network? if it is then you are already using the 10.x.x.x DNS servers. Check your Airport Extreme with the Airport Utility and you will see in the Internet tab, the DNS servers used. The devices connecting to the Airport Extreme are assigned a DNS address of the Airport Extremes IP, In your case 172.16.1.1 but all DNS searches and resolution are done with the DNS servers you see in the Airport Extreme.
If you want to use some other DNS then you can override in the Airport Extreme which will be used by all devices connecting too the Airport Extreme, Or you can edit the DNS address in each devices wireless settings.

How do I get a DNS server address?

How do I find my DNS Server address? I intalled my Airport to my new PC and it has a yellow light and while other wireless computers can see the network they cannot to the internet.

You cannot get a .mac address any longer - it is all now based on mobileme so xxx.me.com is the email addy domain.
To get one, you need to subscribe to the mobileme service - http://www.apple.com/mobileme/

How can i change the DNS Name of a 10.6 Server

Hello when i installed the Server i made a mistake and put in a wrong dns name wich is not reachable from the clients. How can i Chane the DNS Name?

The core command is changeip, and Google will find some details and discussions.
$ man changeip
$ changeip {-v} {-d path} directory-node old-ip new-ip {old-hostname new-hostname}
It's not always successful; the host name tends to get embedded everywhere.
For the official documentation on this, see the [Advanced Server Management Manual|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/ServerAdminv10.6.pdf] for a discussion of what (else) needs to happen when the IP settings change; see the +Understanding Changes to the Server IP Address or Network Identity+ section.

How do i change primary smtp server?

How do I change my primary smtp server? I can delete all the old accounts I no longer use as email accounts, but the primary smtp server for the accounts I still use is still set as that for the old server. Not only is there nowhere to delete it, I can't even change it! There should at least be a button to take you to that page in the iOS6 settings somewhere easy to find, like IN the same place as where it is listed.
Very annoying.

What did not work? You could not add an additional SMTP server? It does not matter what the primary is listed as....turn it off. Then turn on the additional server you added.
Better yet remove your .mac account and add it back as .me account.

How can I change a JCo Server retry interval?

Hi all,
I have a question regarding the interval of connection retry.
If my JCo server has a exception, because SAP Server is down, I get following error: Server startup failed. Will try next startup in 1 second.
Then in 2 seconds, 4 seconds ..... 1024 seconds.
How can I change this parameter, so the server should try every 60 seconds?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I found a solution:
JCo.Server has a parameter: jco.server.max_startup_delay

Change of DNS server setting caused Exchange outages!

I am trying to google/bing my way through this, but here are the main points:
All remote Exchange servers had a) static IP addresses and b) were instructed to use DNS servers in Edmonton and Calgary
If WAN links dropped, they lost DNS
SOLUTION! Point remote servers to the domain controller in that location as the primary DNS server. WAN outage means Exchange still resolves names locally.
Well the day came and we add the local DNS server for each remote site as the primary DNS server at the top of "DNS server addresses, in order of use" portion of advanced TCP/IP settings dialogue box.
A reboot is performed
Voila! Exchange shits the bed! Hub transport servers in Edmonton and Calgary cannot resolve remote server names; as in no host(a) record exists for them anymore. And we have a 91 minute outage until the DNS is sorted out (ipconfig /registerdns run on each
server).
Has anyone encountered this or have some deep knowledge of DNS (relative to my own) that could at least throw out a theory as to why this might happen?

Hi, please issue Get-ExchangeServer -Identity "ServerName" -status | fl and check:
CurrentDomainControllers
CurrentGlobalCatalogs
CurrentConfigDomainController
The server must been linked to the wrong server. You can change that in powershell too.

How to add a second DNS server entry

Our primary DNS server is having problems (internal system) - we want to keep its listing on our mac server however. We need to add a second DNS server - we don't care what it is, we might want to add 2 additional servers - one internal and one external (google dns for example).
How do we do this through server admin? Thank you.

Solved. Added entreis in DNS section of Server Admin. Adjusted DNS entry in network section of system prefs to reflect loopback address. Stopped and restarted DNS. Thanks.

How do I reinstall my DNS server

How do I reinstall my DNS server

What happened that requires you to reinstall DNS?
Is your DNS server an AD DC? If it is a DC, and you only have one DC, then I really don't recommend uninstalling then reinstalling it.
If you can describe the problems you are seeing with DNS, maybe we can assist to help fix the DNS problems instead of reinstalling DNS.

How do I change an email server address?

To get work emails, I set up my Exchange ActiveSync months ago and it worked flawlessly. My company just changed email servers and I now get a sync error (understandable). However, when I go to account settings to try and change the server address to the new server, all I can change is the password. No matter how I get to any page where it'll supposedly let me configure the settings of a current email account, all the info but password is "grayed out" - for lack of a better term.
I know I can just create a new account with the new settings and delete the old one. My concern doing that is that all the linked contacts on my phone will unlink with the old one and I'll have to re-link them with the new one. Ugh!
Any help in this matter will be much appreciated.

@mayerpl, unfortunately there is NO way to rename the server for Exchange ActiveSync configuration. First you will have to remove the existing account and re-add it. Now here is the interesting part, HTC stores the links between contacts as additional inforamtion in the "Notes" field of your contact data (i think!). Atleast I have seen it. I think it stores the link in the account that you initially chose to link others with. So in some cases I have the link data in my exchange account, and in others I have it in my GMail.
In any case, it is highly likely that your links MAY be restored when you re-add the account. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee it, and the only way you will find out is by doing it! But given the fact that there is no way to change the server without removing and re-adding the account, you are out of options.
If you do decide to remove and re-add, please post back and let me know if the links were reserved or you had to do them again.
Hope this helps!
