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.

Windows server 2012 standard second DNS server not automaticly detected by Windows 7.

Hi!
We have configured a second DNS server on our domain just in case.
I have tested the second DNS by activating manually the second dns server in the IPV4 config in windows 7 pro.
My question is: the second DNS server is not supposed to be detected automaticly by windows?
Thanks you.

Hi,
There may be some misunderstanding about how DNS works.
DNS client doesn't detect DNS servers. DNS client doesn't know which zone is hosted by the DNS server. DNS client can only send DNS query to the DNS servers which are configured in the client.
As I mentioned above, the DNS Client service queries the DNS servers in the following order:
The DNS Client service sends the name query to the first DNS server on the preferred adapter’s list of DNS servers and waits one second for a response.
If the DNS Client service does not receive a response from the first DNS server within one second, it sends the name query to the first DNS servers on all adapters that are still under consideration and waits two seconds for a response.
If the DNS Client service does not receive a response from any DNS server within two seconds, the DNS Client service sends the query to all DNS servers on all adapters that are still under consideration and waits another two seconds for a response.
If the DNS Client service still does not receive a response from any DNS server, it sends the name query to all DNS servers on all adapters that are still under consideration and waits four seconds for a response.
If it the DNS Client service does not receive a response from any DNS server, the DNS client sends the query to all DNS servers on all adapters that are still under consideration and waits eight seconds for a response.
In your case, if you configure the DNS2 as the secondary DNS server on Windows 7, when the DNS1 is down, Windows 7 will send DNS query to DNS2 after 3 sceconds(Step 3).

Why does DNS server entry in ipconfig break point-to-point ethernet?

My application uses a panel pc as the user interface for a cRIO controlling a medical device. The panle pc and cRIO communicate using shared variables. During development, both devices (panel pc and cRIO) were on our company network. Curiously, when I connected them point-to-point with a crossover cable, they refused to communicate when running their LabVIEW application code. Pings from the panel pc to cRIO were successful. Much troubleshooting ensued.
Long story short, the fix was to simply delete the DNS server IP entry from both the panel pc and the cRIO ipconfig tables (see attached pic for the WinXP version of this table). If either of them had our company's DNS server IP address fillied in, my LabVIEW application would fail.
This leads me to suspect that there is something in my LabVIEW executables that wants to touch the company network. Apparently, if there is a DNS server entry in the ipconfig table, this something thinks it has a chance to "phone home" and it tries to do so. When this happens on the panel pc end of the crossover cable, the machine acts like it's locked up, but the task manager shows the CPU to be ~98% idle.
If there is no entry for a DNS server, I guess this something realizes that there is no way to "phone home", so it doesn't try and my application works great. Since the application works with no DNS server table entry, I think my crossover cable is working correctly.
Does anyone have any idea what this something might be?

You've hit the nail on the head Ben. For point to point communications, the IP addresses should be fixed, therefore there is no need for DNS. If a DNS is configured, the NIC (Network Interface Card) drivers will try to contact it.
In my test system, I need DNS for the test computer, but I am communicating with a dedicated Spectrum Analyzer over TCP/IP. So I added a second NIC. The main NIC is configured for DNS and all that jazz. The second NIC (plugged into PCI slot) is configured with a hard coded address, no DNS, no Gateway, nothing else. I connect that NIC to the spectrum analyzer using a crossover cable. The analyzer is configured with a hard coded address also. Now my computer can get on our company network, and the spectrum analyzer is isolated from the network, so it can't catch any viruses, etc., and it still talks to the computer. When using a configuration such as this, it is best to use a dedicated address for the 2nd NIC and spectrum analyzer in the range of 192.168.100.0 to 254

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 to add a second hard drive

I want to add a second hard drive, mainly because my server hosts a photo gallery and I would like to store those photos on a separate drive. What is entailed in adding this second drive?
-Thanks

Firstly, find if you want SATA or IDE. Then make sure you have a free hole on the mobo for the drive, and spare in the case for it. Then make sure your PSU can power it. Then decide how much space you want and how much you want to pay. Then buy, screw it in, and connect the ribbon cable and power cable. Then boot, and it should come up in /dev. Then partition, and make a filesystem, then mount. Easy

Need to add a second weblogic server for high availability

I have a weblogic 10.3.3 server with forms and reports 11.1.1.3.
I have an adminServer, WLS_FORMS and WLS_REPORTS managed servers setup.
This was setup with the wizard, so the WLS_FORMS is in the cluster_forms cluster group and WLS_REPORTS in the cluster_reports group.
I now need to add a second server with forms and reports also to act as one big server and provide high availability and load balancing.
How do I achieve thsi, is there a wizard that will do this?
The two servers are setup in exactly the same way, with the same versions of Weblogic and Forms and Reports.
Thanks in advance.

I do not know "reports 11.1.1.3" application, but from your description this application is already targeted on a clustered configuration.
So it should be sufficient to add 2 new instances in the WebLogic domain "WLS_FORMS_2", "WLS_REPORTS_2", include them into the existing clusters and add a load balancer (like apache + wleblogic-plugin) that will balance requests on instances.
I never heard of wizards to create such clustered environments. However it is not hard to do:
1- Install binaries on the new machine
2- Create the domain configuration directory on the new machine using config.sh wizard in the same way you have aleady done with the first machine.
In this step you can create a clone of the existing domain, but it is enough to create a domain with the same name and the same admin instance.
Instead of using config.sh, you can also copy the domain directory from the existing machine and change diretories in scripts if needed.
The domain configuration is needed only to find the binaries, the basic domain files common to all installations, and to allow startup scripts (see point 4-) to connect to the admin and download the domain/instance configuration.
3- Configure the new instances on the existing WebLogic console
4- Create startup scripts for "WLS_FORMS_2", "WLS_REPORTS_2" on the second machine

What kind and how to add a second hard drive to my dv7-6157cl?

I want to add a second hard drive, which can be done on this laptop. What type of hdd would I purchase?
Can I add a solid state drive?
Are there instructions on how to do this on this particular model?
Thank you

I would not use a SSD for a second drive, there is really no benefit to this, an SSD would be much better for the primary hard drive where the OS runs from.
Any standard laptop Sata hard drive will work
You would need a hard drive hardware kit, includes bracket, shield, screws, and data cable.
I would contact HP parts to be sure you get the correct part(s) for your specific model
Here is your service manual which has instructions on how to replace hard drives in that model

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 to add one second to a date time stamp

What is the proper syntax to add one second to a date/timestamp?

Just think about it.
24 hours in a day, 60 mins per hour and 60 second per minute
total of 86400 seconds per day.
So, you add 1/86400 to the date/timestamp column
e.g. select my_date + (1/86400) from my_table;
What is the proper syntax to add one second to a date/timestamp?

How to add a Web Preview Server to Eclipse Mars

I have been attempting to add a web preview server to my Eclipse Mars version. The only help I have found online is to open servers, right click, new, server then choose web preview from the IBM list.
I can not seem to find the IBM folder unless I install Liberty Profile, and even then there is no web preview server listed. Is there anywhere I can download the server to install it to my eclipse? I can't find anywhere online to do so.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a fresh install of Eclipse Mars by the way.
Thanks,
Brian.

Just to confirm, am I correct in assuming the "HTTP Preview" and "J2EE
Preview" servers under the Basic category aren't what you are looking
for? I'm not aware of a "Web Preview" server.
