Instructing clients on domain name transfer

I was wondering what the easiest way is to instruct a client how to transfer their domain name from a previous host to a new one. Do you simply give them the information fom the "Whois" lookup? Do you contact the previous host yourself? What do you do?

So that would be asked with this question:
How do I get access to the domain registration account so that I can change the DNS pointers?
And the answer is either of the following -
* Get the domain registration account login information from the client (they were given this when they registered the domain name), log in to the account, and edit the DNS pointers.
OR
* Have the client contact the domain registrar and ask them for the domain registration login info. They may have to do a song and dance to get this, but they will get it. Have them give that info to you. Then continue with the first item above.

Domain name transfer to iweb

Have created an iweb site, and want to use my domain name currently held at 123-Reg on the site. Have followed instructions, but there appears to be 2 fields to input data one which is @ and the 'www' - I have the info to put in the 'www' field which is web.mac.com - what do I put in the @ field, both currently have 194.154.164.190 in. Hope someone can help.

Yes, he should double check that he is really working with CNAME. The presence of IP numbers may indicate that he is working with A records, which is not the right place to be.

Domain Name Transfer

Hi,
I'am a premium user of BC and I have Web Commerce plan for a year.
My previous site plan was under web.com and the domain name was registered under them i.e. registrar is Register.com.
I re-port my domain to Business catalyst few months ago.
As I'am not satisfied with the service of web.com I would like to discontinue the subscription with web.com.
So please let me know if I cancel my account will I loose my domain name ? because it's going to be expire on 4th of October.
Or is there any option in business catalyst to renew my domain forever?
Expecting a quick help as early as possible
Thanks
Jarish

I fixed it. iWeb address changed from first site to second site, so copying address to forwarding URL was not enough. I had to make the necessary changes. Thank you for responding

Domain name transfer issues

I am having trouble with a domain name I purchased forward to my .mac. This is the second domain name I have purchased. The first one I had issues with too, but it works fine now when the name is typed in a browser window. I copied the exact info, but I am getting an error from .mac saying name doesn't exist. I published the site in iWeb just like I did my first site....every step was the same. I can not figure out why I am getting an error -- can anyone help?

Office Live Website Domain Name Transfer?

I currently have a Office Live website with a .co.uk domain name - is there a way to create and host the same domain name with Apple once my Office Live account expires?
And yes I'm a technophobe!

To use your domainname with MobileMe you must [enable Personal Domain at MobileMe|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=MobileMe/Account/en/acct1 7114.html] and set your CNAME to web.me.com where you have registered your domainname.
Pick your own subdomain (www is a subdomain).
It's not an iWeb issue, since iWeb is not involved. [Forum : MobileMe iWeb and Personal Domain|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1163]
Read my article how I manage my domainname : http://www.wyodor.net/Domain/
I currently have these subdomains:
http://www.wyodor.net/ (at MobileMe using A Record)
http://me.wyodor.net/ (at MobileMe using CNAME)
http://google.wyodor.net/ (at Google using A Record)
http://wyodor.net/ (at MS Office Live using A Record)
Other subdomains default to my Personal Webserver on my computer at home.
Note that you cannot use iWeb, or any custom webpage, at Google or MS Office Live. They're all webbased.

Using a personal domain name

I am trying to use a personal domain name with my iWeb page. I found the directions to do so - it says go to File>Set Up Personal Domain. I am using iWeb 06 and I do not have an option under File (or anywhere else) to "set up personal domain". What am I doing wrong?

I wonder if you could help. I have iWeb 08 and have followed the instructions for personal domain name and its be 4 days now and my page is still loading with the long address. I've contacted .mac about his but nothing yet. Do you know what to do?
Did you purchase a personal name and, at the place where you have it, set the www CNAME to web.mac.com? Or arrange ordinary forwarding?
Could you provide your personal domain name plus the name you gave your site inside the iWeb app?

Transfer of Domain Name

Ready to publish my site, found a great Web Hosting company,
but need to transfer Domain name. The new Web Hosting company
requires that I approve in advance any charges that they will incur
on my behalf for the transfer of the Domain Name. Being the
existing provider for the name (the site isn't up yet) Yahoo, I
don't know how many dollars this could be. Any ideas?

Okay, you bought a Domain name from Yahoo. Now you have a
site that you want to publish. How do you transfer your Domain Name
to the Web Hosting company? That's the question isn't it?
First of all, this will cost you nothing. You already paid
for your domain name and you will pay your web hosting company a
fee for hosting your web site.
We are dealing with two kinds of servers here: Domain Name
servers and web page servers. Your Yahoo Domain Name servers need
to point to the web servers that belong to the web hosting company.
That's what it means to transer your Domain name.
The domain name servers are the computers that contain the
information relating to your domain name, INCLUDING THE ADDRESS OF
THE WEB SERVER that contains your web files. There is a primary
name server and a secondary name server. Transferring your domain
name essentially means supplying the name servers with the address
of the web servers that contain your web files so web users will be
directed to your web site.
Instructions on how to transfer your Domain name (or, in
other words, how to edit your name servers) is on the Yahoo web
site. Your web hosting company has probably provided you with DNS
server addresses (primary and secondary). If not, you need to get
that information. You take that information and follow the
instructions on the Yahoo site for editing your name servers.

OS X Server clients can't login after IP renumber and domain Name change

I can not seem to get the logins working again on my OS X server (10.9.4 w/ server 3.1.2 on a 1 yr old. MacMini) after I needed to renumber the IP and change the domain name. I destroyed the Open Directory server, recreated it and created one test account. If I log in to the client with a local account I can connect to the server (Go>Connect To Server) from the client using my newly created account, but when I try to login to the server using the same network account login I get the "shaking head" response immediately. I have rebound the server to this client and it says that network accounts are available, but seem to be at a loss to understand why it won't let me login...
The only error message I see in any of the logs is the following:
(AFP Error Log:) Sep 15 20:21:47 isis.mydomain.com AppleFileServer[3032] <Info>: major error <1>: No credentials were supplied, or the credentials were unavailable or inaccessible.
I'm not sure what credentials it is referring to. I created a self signed certificate that I am using with OD, could that be the one?

Many Open Directory problems can be resolved by taking the following steps. Test after each one, and back up all data before making any changes.
1. The OD master must have a static IP address on the local network, not a dynamic address.
2. You must have a working DNS service, and the server's hostname must match its fully-qualified domain name. To confirm, select the server by name in the sidebar of the Server application window, then select the Overview tab. Click the Edit button on the Host Name line. On the Accessing your Server sheet, Domain Name should be selected. Change the Host Name, if necessary. The server must have at least a three-level name (e.g. "server.yourdomain.com"), and the name must not be in the ".local" top-level domain, which is reserved for Bonjour.
3. The primary DNS server used by the server must be 127.0.0.1 (that is, itself) unless you're using another server for internal DNS. The only DNS server set on the clients should be the internal one, which they should get from DHCP if applicable.
4. Follow these instructions to rebuild the Kerberos configuration on the master.
5. If you use authenticated binding, check the validity of the master's certificate. The common name must match the hostname and domain name. Deselecting and then reselecting the certificate in Server.app has been reported to have an effect in some cases. Otherwise delete all certificates and create new ones.
6. Unbind and then rebind the clients in the Users & Groups preference pane. Use the fully-qualified domain name of the master.
7. Reboot the master and the clients.
8. Don't log in to the server with a network user's account.
9. Disable any internal firewalls in use, including third-party "security" software.
10. If you've created any replica servers, delete them.
11. As a last resort, export all OD users. In the Open Directory pane of Server, delete the OD server. Then recreate it and import the users. Ensure that the UID's are in the 1001+ range.

How do I configure snow leopard server to allow local client to access the server using its public domain name

I have SLS 10.6 running on my local network with DNS configured.
I can access the server from a client on the lan using server.local or server.domain where domain name is my publically registered domain,
From the internet I can access my server using the registered domain name i.e. www.domain.com.
Is it possible to set my server up so that www.domain.com also reaches the server when used by a client locally? At present I get a page not found error.

The configuration you're aiming for is called split-horizon or split-brain DNS, and it's quite possible. It can get slightly hairy when you have different stuff using the same host name for different purposes, for instance, and you'll need to track all external DNS entries in your internal DNS server when you're running "split".
Here is how to set up DNS services. Split-horizon is one of the options listed there.
My preference is to use a different domain or subdomain within the network, and to avoid using split-horizon where I can reasonably manage it. One domain name is configured for and reachable outside and is effectively public, and the other domain (or a subdomain) is inside and private and only reachable directly or via VPN, for instance.

Business catalyst transfer hosting / domain name issues

Hello,
Hopefully someone can help with this. There is no information to be found anywhere about this anywhere. So here goes..
-Basically I have a an old site using my .com hosted away from CC. I also have a newer version of my website hosted at CC and using the same .com BUT using the 'Business catalyst" tag"
-I now want to shut down my old site hosted away from CC-to free up the .com so I can use me new website WITHOUT having to use the Business catalyst tag (While remain being hosted on CC)
This is what my other host has asked me to get - (and that Adobe has no information on)
My old host:
"In order to transfer the domain name to your new provider (CC) you need to organise the following:
.co.uk domain - In order to transfer the .co.uk domain name,
we need to be given the new 'Nominet Tag' for your new provider (CC). We can then switch the tag at our end and your new provider (CC) can gain access to the domain name.
.com domain - In order to transfer the .com domain name, your new provider (CC) will need to request a transfer of the .com domain from their end. We have unlocked the domain so this can be requested. Once they have done this, we will be able to provide an authorisation code that will enable them to complete the transfer."
Please help. This is very confusing..
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!!

Hi,
If planning on reusing a domain for another site...
First you need to remove the domain from our old site/host. Once you have done this you can then add your domain to whichever site you require. Then set up your DNS accordingly whether you want to host with BC or externally.

How to transfer exisitng domain names to business catalyst?

What are the requirements or what is the proccess to transfer exisitng domain names to business catalyst?
Your input is much appreciated.
FT

Business Catalyst does not have a domain hosting capabilities, so you can not transfer domains to BC.
If you would like to point a domain to BC though you either point the A-record or NS records to your BC site:

Getting the domain name of the Client PC using WebUtil

Hi Guys,
Is there a way I can find the domain name of the computer running the forms using webutil.
I use WEBUTIL_CLIENTINFO.GET_HOST_NAME to get the client computer name. I would also need the domain name.
Thanks!
Anand

Try this:
message(CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.GET_ENVIRONMENT_STRING('USERDOMAIN'));I believe if no domain is defined, it will return the host name. Also, this obviously will only work on Windows clients.

How many domain names can I transfer to Apple.

I have a family (me) account. Family of four/one biz. The family each has their own domain. The biz has 4 domains. Can I transfer all domains including the four biz domains to the apple/me account. Yes/No. Is there a limit?
Also about a year ago I tried to transfer (1) domain over, my sons. What I total nightmare. I finally just gave up all together and I believe I'm fairly savvy tech wise. But the transfer had me stumped. I would appreciate it if someone out there who has made a transfer from "Network Solutions" to "Apple" could give me a blow by blow on how too. I would really appreciate it.
David

As Tom has said, you DO NOT transfer your domain names - Apple does not host domain names, they just host your MobileMe website.
What you need to do is enter the domain name into the personal domain name section of your MobileMe account and then go to the DNS settings at Host Excellence and set up a new CNAME forwarding for your domain name to web.me.com - this creates the link from your domain name to where your site is published at MobileMe - web.me.com.
You can have one CNAME forward for every MobileMe account so if you have a Family Pack, then one for the main account and one each for the 4 sub accounts, so 5 in total.
Once you have used up the 5 you have, if you want anymore then you just need to use ordinary web forwarding.

Change domain name clients and server

Hello,
I want to change the domain name from eg ".vancouver.gov" to ".vancouver.local" on all of our devices in the network. Zcm has been installed with ".vancouver.gov" and the clients also are registered with ".vancouver.gov". When i change the domain name on the workstations and change the corresponding dns entries of the workstations to ".vancouver.gov" i cannot register workstations anymore and wol does not work anymore. Distributing applications to the workstation does work.
Anybody now how to accomplish this change.
We have about 400 workstations and 1 zcm 10.3.3 server.
Thanks.
Ren

I would recommend an SR.
Changing the DNS of Devices should not impact any of that, so long as
the clients can still properly resolve the servers and you are not
destroying the old DNS zone.
This may indicate that the CA/Server CERTs do not have the fullied
qualified DNS name of the server but perhaps just the short name.
Also, I would not recommend attempting to fix any certs right away, but
rather using the "Additional DNS Name" setting on your server, since
changing a Cert could cause lots for work on client PCs.
Later versions of ZCM make changing server certs a little easier but for
10.3.3, I would just use the server setting instead of a change.
But since I suspect you can create an SR as most government accounts
can, it may be simplest to go that route but keep my thoughts avoiding
any cert rebuilds in mind if there is any issue with the names in the
server cert.

XP client ping the domain name get resolve ip 127.0.53.53

I got a strange issues recently. We have many windows XP client in our company. Most them are working out of office.
So they connect our VPN to access the company resource. But last week (around 8.25), all the XP clients lost connections with our domain after they connected VPN. When I try ping the domain name, it got a resolved IP:127.0.53.53.
If I nslookup our domain name, it will get a correct resolved ip. Now It impacts all XP users' work. They can't use the outlook,
connect to the file share server.(windows 7 is ok, just XP get issues.)
Now my solution is: add our intrance dns(find it on the VPN network) to the local adapter.
