DNS/DHCP app no longer sees DNS/DHCP server.

When I moved the majority of my Netware 6 servers to OES-NW last year, I started using iManager to handle admin duties for DNS and DHCP.
With a planned move to OES-L coming up, I tried accessing both services using the DNS/DHCP java console.
While I am able to log into that console, I am unable to see my DNS/DHCP server or any of the expected components for either service (DHCP pools, zone records, etc...).
I have tried both the console that is installable from the server and the newer LDAP-based version.
I have tried both 32 and 64-bit versions on XP and Windows 7, respectively.
Since I want to move those services to OES/Linux and the java console is the only mechanism that can administrate the services on that platform, I am perplexed.
My needs are simple, and I could easily move those duties to a SUSE server or even a Windows server, but that is not my preference.
Any ideas on where to begin troubleshooting are welcome.

You have more than one DNS-DHCP locator object in your tree, and the
console is picking up a/the empty one. Find the proper object (look at
the other tab in consoleone or imanager to see if it's connected with
servers zones and the like), and delete the superflouos ones.
This is an *extremely* common problem when OES gets introduced into a
tree, as it by default creates new locator objects in the server
container, if it's not configured otherwise.

How to migrate DNS, DHCP Server from 2003 to 2012

Hi all,
I have one old server running server 2003, and i need to migrate the dns and dhcp server to server 2012.
I found all the articles, there are only migrate from 2003 to 2008 or 2008 to 2012.
Is there anyway to migrate it?
Thanks.

Really confused why the "answer" to this thread states it can't be done, when clearly it can. This is the official approach (article dated Oct 2013):
Migrate DHCP Server to Windows Server 2012 R2
Within, you'll see that it says:
This guide provides instructions for migration of a DHCP server from a server that is running Windows Server 2003 or a later operating system to a server running Windows Server 2012 R2. Supported operating systems are listed in the following table.

How to replace DHCP server from domainA with DHCP from domainB?

Hello fellow Administrators,
We have one remote site with one subnet. There's domainA domain controller and about 100 domainA's client computers in that subnet. We're about to send 100 domainB's client computers there as well.
There's also domainA's DHCP server running on the same subnet. DHCP scope options include domainA's domain name, gw and domainA's DNS server addresses.
DomainA and DomainB belongs to separate forests and there's two-way trust between them. DomainA DNS has stubzone for DomainB and DomainB has stubzone for domainA. That's how
clients can resolve hostnames of other domain.
All domainA's clients in remote site will be replaced gradually with domainB's client computers, but this can take a long time.
I want to note, that I cannot create second subnet for domainB at the moment.
At some point, we need to deploy DHCP server to domainB's member server in the remote site. What are the steps I should take to replace existing domainA's DHCP server with domainB's DHCP server while still allowing clients from domainA and domainB to successfully
find domain controller of their own domain and being able to resolve hostnames from both domains?

When the devices on your network first request an IP address or reach the end of their leases (or you force them to check their lease is still valid) they will simply
broadcast a request for a DHCP server, and will accept an offer from the first DHCP server
to reply.
Multiple DHCP servers PT 1: Spanning multiple subnets.
If you have several VLANs or physical network segments that are separated into different subnets, and you want to provide a DHCP service to devices in all those subnets then there are two ways of doing this.
If the router / layer 3 switch separating them can act as a BOOTP/DHCP relay agent, then you can continue to keep all your DHCP server(s) in one or two central parts of your network and configure your DHCP server(s) to support multiple ranges of addresses.
In order to support this, your router or layer 3 switch must support the BOOTP relay agent specification covered in section
4 of RFC 1542.
If your router does not support RFC 1542 BOOTP relay agents, or if some of your network segments are geographically dispersed over slow links, then you will need to place one or more DHCP server in each subnet. This ‘local’ DHCP server will only serve its own
local segment’s requirements, and there is no interaction between it and other DHCP servers. If this is what you want then you can simply configure each DHCP server as a standalone server, with the details of the address pool for its own subnet, and not worry
about any other DHCP servers on other parts of the network. This is the most basic example of having more than one DHCP server on the same network.

Windows 2008 DNS & DHCP configuration steps for 11gR2 GI install with GNS

Hi,
I have windows 2008 R2 server with DNS & DHCP services installed. I am planning to install 2 node RAC with GNS option.
The problem is i could not find any document to setup the windows 2008 DNS server for the below steps.
a. Configure GNS VIP : add a name resolution entry in a DNS for the GNS virtual IP address in the forward Lookup file.
gns-server IN A <virtual_IP>
where gns-server is the GNS virtual IP address given during grid installation.
b. Configure the GNS sub-domain delegation: add an entry in the DNS to establish DNS Lookup that directs the DNS resolution of a GNS subdomain to the cluster.
clusterdomain.example.com. NS gns-server.example.com.
where clusterdomain.example.com is the GNS subdomain (provided during grid installation) that you
delegate and gns-server.clustername.com resolves to GNS virtual IP address.
I am aware that this configuration steps has to be taken care by the System administrator. Here is what he tried and the results.
My SA was able to Configure GNS VIP in the DNS and the Nslookup works fine for this.
When he Configures the GNS sub-domain delegation the nslookup fails when trying to resolve the SCAN name.
Any step by step tutorial for this windows 2008 DNS & DHCP configuration for Oracle GNS setup would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

I have a sync account and used to keep sync with firefox server. Now computer got re-installed and want to sync data from firefox sync server. But I am unable to setup as i dont have sync key.

I have a sync account and used to keep sync with Firefox server. Now computer got re-installed(OS) and want to sync data from Firefox sync server. But I am unable to setup as i don't have sync key.
I would like to just sync with Firefox Sync Server with existing account. I can not find any way out for this. please reply me on
[email protected]

hello, for the old sync system in firefox 28 and below you also had to sign up with a mail address and password originally - to connect firefox to the old account you would need to have all those three pieces (mail, password & recovery key) available to you unfortunately...

On which port number WDS server will listen & service when installing on server which is also DHCP server?

hi frineds
in documents we read when we install WDS on the server which is also DHCP server, we must select this check mark :
"do not listen on port 67"
it means we instruct the WDS service not to listen on port UDP 67 to avoid a port conflict between WDS server service and DHCP server service.
So now on which port number WDS server will listen & service ?
thanks in advance

Hi john.s2011,
If Windows Deployment Services and DHCP are running on the same physical computer, this means that the DHCP server is listening on port 67 and is responsible ensuring authorization.

Weird isnt it?
What could this be?

Hi,
sadly not able to really help you, but It seems that I'm having the same problem.
I'm running an up to date arch install (with testing enabled) and for some strange reason one of the dhcp servers I use does not ever return any packets at all to me.
Openwrt on my home network works like a charm, but here in the office I do not get an ip (or any reply at all sadly) from our dhcp server. I don't know what server we're running though ...
kind regards

Communication between the DNS/DHCP Manager and OES Server

No communication between the DNS/DHCP Manager Console and OES server (status,start,stop)
The screenshot shows the tab "DHCP (OES Linux)" in the DNS / DHCP Manager console
in the bottom of the image it shows the state of the DHCP servers.
allDHCP.JPG
The dhcp service is started on all these servers
You can see that the status is known only for four servers.
The button "start/stop DHCP service" works fine on this servers and
the dhcp service can be canceled and also restarted
But the status of the "dhcp service" is not recognized for all the other DHCP servers
and so we can not start or stop dhcp service on these servers.
All servers were installed at different times (last three years) with OES11 and
are upgraded to OES11SP2 with all patches.
The server keto (DHCP_keto) is a new installation OES11SP2 few days ago.
All OES servers were set up identically from me. LDAP, LUM, DMS, DHCP works fine.
Which service on the OES server is responsible for
communication (status indicator) between the DNS/DHCP Manager and the OES serve?
How the status query is performed by the DNS/DHCP Manager?
How can I test the communication to the server on the client (console)?
Which configurationfiles I should be compare on the server?
Thanks in advance

Installing Microsoft Office on Windows Server 2008 R2

Can I install Microsoft Office on Windows Server 2008 R2?
I'm not trying to use this installation from client machines, I just want to use this installation from the same machine.
It's a Home LAN, I need to develop some applications, but basically, the server should be used as any other machine by any member of the family.
Each machine will have it's own suite of Office Applications. It's just 3 machines
Believe you can do it, and you will!!

Yes, I've done that successfully, but I use the Volume Licensing edition (Professional Plus).

If you have a Retail edition, it might not be as successful...

How to install and configure ms exchange server 2007 both role hub and edge transport role in one network

How to install and configure ms exchange server 2007 both role hub and edge transport role in one network

Hi,
Edge role is design for perimeter networks, to keep security risks minimum. So it’s not recommended to have edge role in internal network. Must have separate network or subnet for edge services.
If you are playing around it in labs, then you can put edge role within same subnet as other exchange roles and no specific requirements in that case.
Thanks.

Installing 9i on OSX.2 Server

I've gotten to the point where I am trying to execute ./createDB >& dblogs. The logs I get are not even close to what I'm seeing in the samples. The logs I get back are peppered with :
ORA-12546: TNS:permission denied
and
SP2-0640: Not connected
I'm assuming here that something is wrong with the IP addressing. I'm running a cable router which acts as a DHCP server but even when I try to assign a static address, modif the /etc/hosts file accordingly I'm still getting these logs. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks
Joe B

Hi Joe,
I tried to make that error occur but couldn't replicate it. Perhaps you could post a bit of information. If you go just to the stage before you do the ./DBcreate and then run these commands and post the results it should be easier to work out what's going on.

Any idea what is causing this? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I just wanted to add a thank you as well to this post. I was installing a fresh copy of server 2012 with exchange 2013 CU3 (fresh install) and was getting this exact error message. What i had done to cause this is not deleting the computer AD account
prior to setting up another server with the same host name. I deleted the AD account and setup the serve 2012 installation again using that "exchange" hostname i wanted to keep. and then ran the Exchange 2013 CU3 installer again and it worked. The problem
was i didnt remove my existing exchange server properly. Thanks for the answer in this post it steered me in the right direction.

Install AD Without DNS and use other dns

hello evrybody
i have dns server for local network + my users + and web site domain
now , i need install active directory .but ad install dns and must set ad dns for all domain users
how to install AD and use my dns server ?

Install AD with DNS on domain controller (better is two DCs) and use public DNS to refer to for public names. Redirect DNS settings on clients to domain controller(s).
DNS that AD is using should contain resource records that allow cliets to find domain controller. As you have not specified your current DNS, it seems more direct procedure to do it in the above way.
REad some info in Technet before you start change of your system to avoid problems.
