ICloud missing DNS records for SMTP servers

Cannot send e-mail from iCloud account using Mail.app (outgoing iCloud server is offline), incoming
iCloud server is p05-imap.mail.me.com and is reachable.
betelgeuse:~ mirek$ host p05-imap.mail.me.com
p05-imap.mail.me.com has address 17.172.100.69
The SMTP DNS does not exist (checked on external hosts with same results).
betelgeuse:~ mirek$ host p05-smtp.mail.me.com
Host p05-smtp.mail.me.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
betelgeuse:~ mirek$
iPad and iPhone also complain about not being able to contact p05-smtp.mail.me.com
Apple please fix it!

I have the same problem. I spoke with AppleCare and they were supposed to be fixing it (and emailing me straight away) but so far they have not... May speak with them again if necessary...

    Hi,
    This is my first post here. 
    My exchange server of late is facing a peculiar problem. I get the error message that I have posted below when sending mails to any outside domain. However when I restart the server the mails can be resend to the address without any issue. After a certain
    time again the issue pops up upon which I am forced to restart the server again. I am running 2007 Exchange on Windows 2003.

    Sure, but it's necessary to ask a lot of questions since none of us
    know how your organization is set up.
    I see you also have "Use the External DNS Lookup settings on the
    transport server" box checked. How have you configured the "External
    DNS Lookups" on the HT server's property page? Is there any good
    reason why you aren't just using your internal DNS servers? If the
    internal DNS servers are configured to resolve (or forward) queries
    for "external" domains then there's no reason to use that checkbox. In
    most cases checking that box is a mistake.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997166(EXCHG.80).aspx
    The behavior you describe (it works for a while and then fails;
    restarting the server returns it to a working state) sure sounds like
    some sort of DNS problem.

  • Missing SOA record for AD integrated zone

    We are in the process of updating our Domain Controllers. We have 3 (now 2) Domain Controllers running server 2008 and 3 new Domain Controllers running Server 2012 R2. In DNS, we have 3 AD integrated zones. 1 of the zones is missing the SOA record on all
    3 new DCs.
    Before the record went missing, I first noticed an issue when attempting to demote one of the Server 2008 DCs.  I had received the following warning:
    "This Active Directory domain controller appears to be the last DNS server for the following Active Directory-integrated zones:
    zonename If you demote this domain controller, you may be unable to resolve any DNS names in these zones."
    I found a TechNet article with someone in the same boat, and the solution was basically to ignore the warning.
    Well I checked out the zone in question, and noticed that the SOA record on the 3 new DCs had an old version/serial number (25 on the new DCs, 126 on the old DCs).  This is a zone that rarely gets touched.  I did an increment serial number on one
    of the old DCs and they were then all showing version 127 for their SOA record, so the replication was working.  The other odd thing about the SOA record is that on the OLD DCs, the record pointed to themselves, like they should.  But on the new
    DCs, the SOA record pointed to other DCs, which they shouldn't be doing.  Well, whatever, I went ahead and completed demoting the 2008 DC I was working on.
    After demotion completed, I attempted to fix the messed up SOA record on the new DCs.  First I tried changing the replication scope from all DNS servers on DCs in the domain to all DCs (Win 2000 compatible).  This didn't do anything for the SOA
    record.  For my next attempt, I took one of the old DCs and removed the problem zone from AD, making it a standard primary zone.  Then I removed the AD-integrated version of the zone from another DC and waited for the zone removal to replicate. 
    So now the only copy of the zone is a standard primary on 1 DC.  Then I switched the zone to AD integrated and waited for replication.  Sure enough the zone appeared on all DCs.  However, now on the 3 new DCs, the zone in question is now missing
    the SOA record entirely.  On the old DCs, the SOA record looks fine.  When I open the zone properties on one of the new DCs and select the SOA tab, it just says "The data is not available."
    So there we go.  3 DCs missing their SOA record for an AD integrated zone.  Any suggestions?

    Well I found the source of the problem.  The zone giving me trouble has a CNAME record that's the same name as the zone itself.  For example, for the zone testZone.local there is a CNAME record called testZone.local that points to www.testZone.local.
     That way if someone types testZone.local into their browser, they end up at www.testZone.local.  After some research, I discovered that CNAME records cannot share the same name as any other record.  In my example, the CNAME record has the same
    name as the SOA and NS records in the zone.  Although many DNS servers allow this practice, it is not a valid DNS configuration.
    While this setup worked fine in our Server 2008 environment, it definitely causes problems in Server 2012 R2.  Somewhere between those 2 versions, Microsoft changed their DNS implementation.  So to avoid any issues with our zone, we just need to
    configure it correctly!

  • When do I have to update my DNS records for my URLs, such as mail and autodiscover?

    We currently have EX2010, with autodiscover.domain, owa.domain, and outlook.domain records in DNS.  The outlook.domain is used for the CAS array and would not be modified during this.
    We are going to install new EX2013 servers soon.  When we do that, we plan to set all the URLs to be the same as EX2010 (like above).  
    From what I can tell, I do not have to change the DNS records until we actually start to migrate mailboxes.  Would that be correct?  I would rather do some additional testing, and get our load balancers configured correctly, before pointing autodiscover
    and owa at EX2013.  
    Most of the documentation I have seen says change the DNS records at the end of your installation, but that would be if I was ready to migrate mailboxes I would think.
    Thanks for any help or assistance on this.  I have read all of the articles on the Exchange Blog site, but nothing really says make this change immediately.

    Hi DarlonJeel,
    Based on your description, I know you want to upgrade Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
    After you've completed the installation of Exchange 2013, you could update the MX record and the Autodiscover record to the Exchange 2013  CAS Server.
    Don’t worry about that the users whose mailboxes are located in Exchange 2010 server. When a user uses OWA or OutlookAnywhere, Exchange 2013 CAS server will redirect to the Exchange 2010
    CAS server automatically.
    Hope it helps,
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • Missing Delta Records for 2LIS_02_ITM & SCL

    Hi Experts,
    this is how my problem goes.
    i have done my set up table filled on 12th Dec 2010 and from that time onwards the delta were running everyday and filling the DSO and Cube.
    Accidently by some others PC in prod all my delta loads and the setup table load is being deleted except yesterday in PSA for these 2 extractors and now because of some change i have to do a full load to DSO.
    But as the PSA is emply and have only yesterday's request i have, deleted that one as well and done a Init Delta to it and i found out that only the Set up table is comming now and all the deltas in between are missing.
    i have tried a full LOAd to PSA and the result is same.
    How can i get those missing delta records from 12th Dec last year till today with out doing another set up table fill  or Do i have to have fill the set up table again till today and thats the only way? i will set the delta again after that.
    Do we have to have all the user locked for the setup table fill (for Queued Delta type) ? Lot of people says yes you have to and others says no you don't require. i got one white paper and it clearly says no user locking is required. please find the link below. what is the correct way?

  • Creating a DNS Record for a Host with Two or More IP???

    Can we create DNS A Record for a Host with Two or More IP ... ( we like to use my website  "mysite.com" pointing to two Ips )
    Please help...

    Sure, no worries.
    In a production environment DNS will query always the first record it will stores in cache, you need to find a dynamic or NLB way to achieve the automatic fail over else when you will have an outage with the first IP, then you need to ask your clients to
    clear the cache and register to DNS again, this i will not suggest in a production environment, lots of manual efforts and doesnt sound like a solution in a production environment, i would suggest you to explore windows NLB, it's easy to set and use the OS
    license.
    Thanks

  • How to create a DNS record for a domain itself (without a hostname)

    Hi,
    Normally, you can create a DNS record that points to the zone itself, e.g.:
    @               10800 IN A    196.197.200.201
    How do you accomplish that on a Mac OSX Lion Server? The DNS requires you to enter a hostname and it does not accept "@" as the hostname as it normally appears in the zone file.
    (manually modifying the host file does not work - I tried that ;-) )
    Any help is appreciated
    Thanks
    Bjoern Dirchsen

    Create either a blank record with a ., or a FQDN such as 'domain.com.' (note the trailing dot). Either of these should map to the domain name.

  • Changing DNS record for www

    I have an internal DNS running lets say example.com with an IP 192.168.0.1
    When I put in ping www.example.com it goes to 192.168.0.1
    I want to change it so that when I ping www.example.com it goes to a different external IP address, as the www server does not reside on my main server.
    I tried in Server Admin, adding www in the zone, but it does not seem to change it.
    Any ideas?

    If you haven't already created a 'www' record in your example.com domain then you won't be able to resolve 'www.example.com'
    The only exception to that is if you've added a wildcard record that says all unknown hostnames map to the same address, but you can't do that via Server Admin.
    Even if you have added a wildcard, adding a specific 'www' record would override it.
    Therefore I can think of two scenarios at play.
    One is that you're not resolving the query via this server, and some other server is responding with the 192.168.0.1 address.
    The other is that there's some problem with the zone data that's preventing it from loading. You should look at the logs to see if that's the case - they should indicate any problems.

    dbms_repcat.generate_replication_support , it gives me the above mentioned error.
    at the same time, i am able to generate support for the table objects .
    Kindly give me a suggession.

    Thank you for the suggestion..
    Here the object got registered at all master sites, as trigger itself got created at the other locations. I used following command to register the object..
    DBMS_REPCAT.CREATE_MASTER_OBJECT(..)
    But still generation of replication support raise the error mentioned.
    Please notify if any sort of other errors..

  • DNS record ownership for DHCP clients

    my configuration:
    dhcp/dns/dc installed on same system - Windows 2008 R2 SP1 in domain environment.
    all zones configured to secure updates only with aging and scavenging enabled
    dhcp servers are member of DNSupdateproxy group.
    dhcp are configured with standard domain user account (this user was made a member of dnsupdateproxy as well, DOES THAT MATTER?)
    dhcp scopes are configured with default DNS setup (force DNS update by DHCP)
    now...
    all DNS records for endpoint devices on dhcp lease (windows7, mac os X, ubuntu) are owned by SYSTEM
    in security tab for some DNS records i can see service account with write permission to record ( i believe this is desired state)
    in other records service account has no permission but timestamps are still updated by computer account (hostname$ has write permission). these records have pencil icon on computers in dhcp lease table.
    Problem with this (hostname$ has write permissions) is when user connect to network via VPN (obtains dhcp lease) it get's two records registered in DNS -> 1 record for ip distributed by dhcp server and 2nd record for his home private network.
    Have anyone seen this before?
    i've tried deleting DNS records / releasing ip on endpoint device (example win7). It would not register to DNS by DHCP. However if i do ipconfig /registerdns it will do it, but dhcp service account won't have permission no this record.

    Apparently it appears that DHCP may not be configured with credentials, DHCP DNS settings are not configured to force DHCP to register ALL requests, nor has the DHCP server itself have been added to the DnsUpdateProxy group. These are all prerequisites
    for DHCP to own all records, otherwise you will see default behavior, which is:
    By default, a Windows 2000 and newer statically configured machines will
    register their A record (hostname) and PTR (reverse entry) into DNS.
    If set to DHCP, a Windows 2000 or newer machine will request DHCP to allow
    the machine itself to register its own A record, but DHCP will register its PTR
    (reverse entry) record.
    The entity that registers the record in DNS, owns the record.
    In summary:
    Configure DHCP Credentials. The credentials only need to be a plain-Jane, non-administrator, user account. Give it a really strong password.
    Set DHCP properties, DNS tab, to update everything, whether the clients can or cannot.
    Add the DHCP server(s) 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 believe that the DNS servers or other DCs not running DHCP should be in it. They must be removed or it won't work.
    On Windows 2008 R2 or newer, DISABLE Name Protection.
    If DHCP is co-located on a Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 2012 DC, you can and must secure the DnsUpdateProxy group by running the following:
    dnscmd /config /OpenAclOnProxyUpdates 0
    Configure Scavenging one one DNS server. Set the NOREFRESH and REFRESH values combined to be equal or greater than the DHCP Lease length. What it scavenges will replicate to others anyway.

    DNS Record Ownership and the DnsUpdateProxy Group
    "... to protect against unsecured records or to permit members of the DnsUpdateProxy group to register records in zones that allow only secured dynamic updates, you must create a dedicated (NON-ADMIN) user account and
    configure DHCP servers to perform DNS dynamic updates with the credentials of this account (user name, password, and domain). Multiple DHCP servers can use the credentials of one dedicated user account."

  • Shared Printers - Using a DNS record instead of server name for failover

    I have a Server 2012 Print Server. I plan on creating a second one for failover purposes. I will be installing the shared printers on client PCs using Group policy preferences.  Instead of using
    \\servername\printer as the path, can I create a DNS record for the server name and use
    \\dnsname\printer?  That way, if the first server dies, I just edit the dns record to point to the second server instead of renaming the second server and changing the IP of the second server.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, we can try creating a DNS alias for our printer server and use the alias instead of the host name in the UNC path. When this server goes down, we
    can make the alias pointing to another printer server.
    Regarding how to create an alias for a DNS host name, the following article can be referred to for more information.

    Hope it helps.

  • Server DNS record automatically deleted

    We built a new file server 10 days ago. When we set it up it would have gotten a dhcp address which then we converted it into having a static ip address.
    8 days later the DNS Record for the server automatically got deleted. This was not setup as a static record in DNS as it would have had a time stamp on it. The server was online the whole time and was not rebooted. What would cause the DHCP record of the
    file server to automatically get deleted when this has never happened when setting up new servers or productions servers as none of our staff deleted the record.

    Hi,
    The reord is first registered by DHCP server, so the owner would be the DHCP server. And only DHCP server could change the record. Once the lease in DHCP is expired, the record will be deleted.
    Just reigster the record manually, if it is deleted again, then it should be a problem. But I don't think it will happen.
