Managing DNS-DHCP from Windows 7

I had the DNS-DHCP Manager installed on my WinXP machine, but now I am running Win 7 (64bit) and I need to make changes to my DHCP range. I am moving the server behind a firewall which will use internal IPs and no longer be using a public range. I need to configure the DHCP server to serve out the internal IP addresses and stop using my public IP range.
I found the range and DHCP settings in iManager, but don't see a way to change them. I know it's possible using the manager utility, but I can't load it.
So is there a version that works with Win 7 (vista) or what is the best way to accomplish what I need to do?
Mike

Thank you for the info, I have the txt file now and it looks like I have to manually change all of the 40 IP addresses I have in the range, correct? Each one has it's own entry (I did notice that several are skipped). My range starts from .210 and goes to .254, however in the txt file I exported .212, .219, .223, .225, .234, .236, .244, .247, .248, .250, .251, .252, .253, .254 are all missing in the range. Not sure why???
So if I am going to use internal IP addresses such as 192.168.0.11 - 192.168.0.50 I will just manually configure all 40 addresses in this file, correct?

Manage Airport Express from Windows computer

Is it possible to manage the Airport Express from a Windows computer?
Most of the posts here deal with connection problems from windows to the device - my problem is that I no longer have a macintosh and so I no longer have access to the airport admin utilty.
Does Apple provide a set of admin tools that run on Windows?

It does not work for the airport express. At least I have been unable to get it to work. "An error occurred while trying to access the base station" Is the error I get. iTunes has no problem playing it.
I used to be able to access my Airport Expresses with the software that came with it. But unfortunately I lost my disk and can 't find the right software to download anywhere. It's all for the airport and not the airport express.
Very disappointed with Apple's support for such an expensive device.

Can't manage my APX from Windows Vista

Hello,
I usually use my iMac G5 to access & manage my APX but, since the iMac has a serious HW problem (continuous random reboots until it seems to be "warm" enough - probably linked to the repair extension program closed in 2008 that I missed), I've decided to prepare my work PC (running Vista) to be able to manage the APX (in case the iMac G5 dies definitly).
I've managed to install the software (of course), but it doesn't detect the APX when scanning around (although it is connected to it to surf the web).
Using the File>Manage other & its IP address + password, I've been able to fetch the configuration file.
However, I can't modify it: I always got a -6705 error when trying to update the conf (like just using a new MAC@ to the access list)...
Could you please help me?
Even after fetching this conf file (using the IP@ & password), the Airport Utility still doesn't detect the Airport Extreme...
TIA,
Manu

Hi Bob,
I've check my PC FW & the rule for the Airport Utility allows in/out connections...
However, I've turned off the wifi & used an Ethernet cable directly between the APX & my PC.
I have re-done the "Manage other", indicating the IP@ & it worked.
I have been able to modify the MAC@ list & update the conf on the APX.
After the update, the APX appeared in the Airport Utility interface, when it wasn't when using the Wifi.
I've switched back to Wifi, unplugged the Ethernet cable & restarted the Airport Utility &, once again, it doesn't detect the APX, when it does using the Wifi from the iMac.
Do you think there's a way to access the APX directly from my PC using the Wifi access & without having to install a cable just the time to maintain the APX?
Thanks again for your help,
Manu

Manage Mac Network from Windows?

A friend of mine at work wants has to manage an Xserve and a small network of about 20 Macs. He is a Windows guy and his primary computer is a Thinkpad. He asked me if there is some equivalent software like ADR that he could run under windows. He has no Mac at his desk, and has to go to the server room to do any Mac administration. Do you have any suggestions? I am a Mac guy but know little about ADR or network administration. Maybe Timbuktu Pro?

Yes, he can use Timbuk2 or any VNC client.

DNS problem on WIndows Server 2008 R2

Dear All
I have windows 2008 R2 Server which is a DOmain Controller for a Domain. It is also DNS server.
We are using Class A ip addresses for the private LAN behind a firewall.
The DC & DNS Server has IP address of 80.5.0.1. The CLient machines in the network has WinXP & WIN7. They have gateway address of Firewall LAN port. And the above DC/DNS Server address as primary DNS. The secondary DNS is the ISP provided DNS
Server IP Address.
The issue is sometimes the clients are not able to resolve the DC/DNS IP address. If you do nslookup on the client the DC IP is resolved to another server on the internet. It should actually return the Local DC name & address.
ANy suggestions?
From : shekhar-nsk

Gateway : 192.168.1.1 ( or it should be 192.168.1.100-Firewall IP ?)--Pls clarify this point.
It definately should not be server IP, If firewall is also doing routing then yes gateway should be address of firewall.
Primary DNS : 192.168.1.1( My DC& DNS Server)
Correct
Alternate DNS : ( None)
127.0.0.1
FOrwarders : as given above ( Google's Open DNS Addresses)
Correct
In short all DNS queries from Windows Clients should go to local DC & DNS server. & from there is should go out .
Correct again.

DNS/DHCP Management Console doesn't start

Folks,
I am running the DNS/DHCP Management Console in an old Windows XP Pro SP2 computer, and it works fine. But when I install it in my XP Pro SP3 computer it refuses to start. It stucks at the welcome screen with the globe animation and doesn't go any further. And there is also no apparent program or process to kill in the Task Manager, and the CPU util is zero. I have to log out and back in again to get rid of the welcome screen.
I am wondering if it may have something to do with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)? I am using the latest version in my SP3 machine, where it doesn't work, and a much older version in my SP2 machine, where it works. I have not upgraded Java in that machine because I am afraid that the Management Console might stop working... If Java is the source of the problem, is it impossible to get it to work with a newer Java?
PJ

I wrote a TID on this, but it hasn't shown up yet. It is TID 7016049
As I am still waiting for it to show up on the public site, I will populate the resolution portion of the TID here. Hope it helps:
Despite uninstalling all older versions of Java, a remnant of the old install still exists. The offending file is javaw.exe, but there may also be a java.exe in the same location.
In the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory there may be a javaw.exe and java.exe from a previous installation. Check the properties > details tab of the file to confirm the version. If this javaw.exe is found first then Windows is directed to look in the wrong location in the registry for the Java Runtime Environment key. Once removed the javaw.exe from C:\Program Files\Java\JRE1.8.0_25\bin directory is found, which sends Windows down the correct path to find the necessary key in the registry.
Once the older version of javaw.exe is removed, the JMC should load.
The SysWOW64 directory is for 64-bit machines. If this error is being encountered on a 32 bit machine, then the superfluous javaw.exe must be found and removed. Process Monitor for Windows can be downloaded and utilized to track down the superfluous javaw.exe. As the java.exe is also superfluous, we recommend removing it to (or copy it out to a backup directory until testing is complete).

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

DPM 2012 R2 UR4 and BMR backup from physical 2008 R2 (DC, DNS, DHCP,WSUS, WDS)

Hi,
I'm completely lost.
We updated from DPM2010 (2008 R2) to DPM 2012 R2 RU4 (2012 R2).
Clean install. Same hardware. Everything went quite smoothly.
Our new (and also old did the same thing) DMP protects some Hyper-V guest on our 2008 R2 Hyper-V cluster, one Exchange (2010) DB's and SQL 2008 R2 DB's and one physical server - 2008 R2 (DC, DNS, DHCP,WSUS, WDS ~160GB of data).
Currently we are using some Buffalo Terastation's III (TS-RIXL) iSCSI SAN storage to hold our DPM protected data.
Configured as RAID 5.
Our new DPM server is connected to those iSCSI devices using built in MS iSCSI initiator via secondary NIC on this server using dedicated iSCSI subnet.
Everything seems to be fine unitil System State and BMR (I'v checked both) runs.
Basically my iSCSI NIC shows Write about ~170Mbit/s and Read about 520Mbit/s when backing up virtual machines, Exchange or SQL.
When it comes to System State and BMR backup the trouhgput is MUCH slower (about 65Mbit/s) and I can not figure out why. I understand that the BMR backup initiates direct writing to the DPM created and shared replica volume on my iSCSI NAS (my wording
might be not correct but basically I understand how this works). But I don't understand why the speed is so much slower. I'v tried everything, googeled around, changed NIC drivers, firmware etc. No luck.
If I just copy some big ISO file from/to server to DPM or vice versa the speed is arount 100MB/s (as reported by windows itself). So it seems to able to utilize full network speed. But why this backup is so slow? I'm excpecting to see speed about ~170Mbit/s
because it corresponds my iSCSI Write speed as seen when backing up hyper-v guests and DB's..
What I'm doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated :)
rgds Sven

Hi Sven,
Sometimes BMR is slower than backing up virtual machines (VHDs). If there is a free local disk, please test to do a backup locally to see the speed. From your description a common backup works much faster so let's see if it is the backup speed which causes
the issue or not.

Viewing Dynamic Leases Under The DNS/DHCP Management Console

My dhcp-server is on oes2 sp3 / sles 10 sp3 and i am trying to set it up for viewing dynamic leases in the DNS/DHCP Management Console.
I am following TID 7006450 and right away i get stuck.
From the TID
1. Launch the DNS/DHCP management console and login to the server
2. Click on the 'DHCP (OES Linux) tab toward the top of the console
3. Find the DHCP Server object at the bottom of the console and select it
4. Toward the top-right hand side of the console select the GENERAL tab and find the section called DHCP SERVER
---- There is no section called DHCP SERVER only Services
5. Click the ADD button and enter the IP address of the DHCP server
NOTE: If doing this step on OES 2 SP 2 the buttons may be greyed out. This is due to the schema not being extended. This option is officially supported on OES 2 SP 3
---- There is no ADD button
6. Click on the SAVE button toward the top, left-hand side of the console (looks like a floppy disk)
---- There is no SAVE button
I have downloaded the latest DNS/DHCP Management Console Version OES2 SP2 october 2009
Is ther a newer version to download

Any error on the failed start that could help troubleshoot it? A coworker
confirmed the TID worked for him so that's a little comforting, though of
course no idea how your two systems differ. A Service Request (SR) with
Novell is always an option to work on this but it'd be useful to know what
your system showed when it wouldn't start dhcpd.
Good luck.

Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?

Question
Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?
Main priority is voice activation upgrade. Ideas about how to proceed appreciated!

AFAIK, it's been over three years since a WinXP laptop or desktop PC has been sold; I specifically bought a laptop in June 2008 because it was being clearanced by that retail chain to meet Microsoft's deadline, and got it real cheap. It was tagged for the store manager to purchase, but he let me have it because I exceeded his expectations for the services I performed for his store and thought I deserved it. Anything that wasn't made for Vista-compatibility will be very iffy with Win7, IMO - so that basically rules out anything that was made before like Oct or Nov 2007.
Unless another DNS 11 user happens to see this thread and can verify whether it works in Firefox 6.0 or not, I don't what to recommend except for you doing a web search to see what other DNS / Firefox users have to say about compatibility.

Thanks for the prompt reply. The interesting thing is that my Macbook Pro was upgraded today to Yosemite and I still have the spinning wheel on the start up screen before the login page comes up.

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,
Ashok Kumar.G

Hi Guys,
Any help on this request will be very helpful.

Migrating dns from windows 2003 to windows 2008 on workgroup env

Hi, We are planning to migrate primary dns server from win 2003 to win 2008. Both the old and new servers will be in work group. I have found few articles on how to proceed.
1. Configure new dns server 2008 R2 box as a secondary zone and doing a zone transfer for froward & reverse lookups from the primary Server 2003 machine. Then changing the name and IP of the Server 2008 R2 machine to
what the Server 2003 box was (after pulling the Server 2003 box off the network) as well as setting the 2008 R2 box as the primary. Neither of the servers will be connected to a domain at any point during or after this process.
2. Copy registry keys and dns files from old to new server
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DNS Server\Zones
Right click on the “Zones” node and choose “Export“. Save the export as a .reg file (e.g. DNS.reg).
Copy the DNS.reg file to the destination server and “Merge“.
Copy the DNS files
Copy the contents of the %SystemRoot%\System32\DNS folder from the source machine to the same folder on the destination machine. I received an permissions error while trying to transfer the “Samples” folder. It is not necessary to transfer the samples.
Set the DNS Load method
Using the Administrative Tools -> DNS MMC snap-in, on the “Advanced” tab, set the “Load zone data on startup:” to “From registry“. This tells the DNS server to load all zone data from the registry.
Then change the ip address and hostname of the new server to match that of the old ones and start dns service.
I was wondering which method would be easy and hassle free as I have like 23 zones to transfer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lakshmi Soma

I would go with the first method as I always try to avoid making registry changes which might result in strange behaviors.

Manage Server 2012 Backups from Windows 8.1

Hello,
I am trying to find out if it is possible to manage server 2012 backups from a windows 8.1 workstation via GUI or is the CLI the only option?
I found a few articles online that mention to use a computer management console > storage > backup (but from what I know it only works if you're connecting from a 2012 server itself)
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
We cannot manage server 2012 backups from a windows 8.1 workstation. Ye may need to use Remote Desktop Connection to access server 2012 from windows 8.1 workstation. In additional, we could manage server 2012 essential backups using dashboard on Windows
8.1 workstation.
