OD replica, DNS secondary zone, server will not resolve itself

We are testing an OD replica to run in a separate location from our OD master. Master OD and DNS is all set and working as expected. Separate location network user connections and DNS all work as expected when calling the OD master and DNS primary zone. The OD replication works fine. I want to use the same machine as a DNS secondary zone getting its records from the DNS on the OD master. DNS secondary zone seems to pull the records from the primary without trouble.
In testing the secondary DNS without forwarders or backup DNS systems, known internal addresses are resolved by the clients correctly. The issue that I am trying to resolve is that server will not resolve itself. I have the System Preferences / Network / DNS pointed to 127.0.0.1. The DNS is resolving for the clients. Running changeip -checkhostname gives
"The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool."
If I ask a client to browse to the server's web site it resolves fine and I get the default page as expected.
With all of the above in mind, binding a local client to the OD replica and pointing the clients' DNS at the DNS secondary zone results in failure of the bind and the client saying that the server is not responding. If the DNS on the client is pointed to the DNS primary zone, the bind works fine and everything behaves as expected. Pointing the Server to the DNS primary zone resolves the problem as well and it is able to resolve itself.
The problem is that if our connection to our primary site goes down, I want everything to function independently at the second location. If the primary DNS zone is gone the OD replica server cannot resolve itself and authenticaion then does not happen making the OD replica pointless.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Found it. I did not copy the reverse mappings from the primary DNS zone.
On the primary zone
- In Server.app/DNS/ select show all records in the gear
- double click reverse header for each subnet and indicate to allow zone transfer for the reverse records
On the secondary zone
- Add additional secondary zones for the exact title of each reverse record zone
- example main records are FQDN.com
- reverse records are 2.81.10.in-addr.arpa for the items in the 10.81.2.0 subnet
OD replica now resolves itself.

The App Store print is too small and apparently unadjustable. I am in my 60s and this problem will not resolve itself over time. How does one effectively complain to Apple?

Mail, iCal Server and iChat server will not work over VPN

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station at the office running the network. Behind it sits a Mac Mini Snow Leopard server running 10.6.3. The ports necessary for Mail, iCal Server and iChat work fine through that external connection. I can also connect with VPN from my 10.6.3 clients.
HOWEVER, when I connect with the VPN clients, I am suddenly unable to access the Mail, iCal Server, Wiki server and iChat server. All connections time out. I can ping the server and I can do other things that do NOT work on the public Airport like ssh or VNC. ssh and VNC are closed at the airport extreme.
So it's pretty odd. When I'm connected via the VPN, all ports that are forwarded to the Snow Leopard server time out over the VPN.
I've tried various and sundry configurations with the VPN client. This includes trying to send all traffic over the VPN, moving it up in the service order, etc. etc. Nothing fixes it. DNS resolution is working fine, however when I do a wireshark capture of ppp0 traffic, I notice that SSL and TLSv1 handshakes appear to occur on the public IP address instead of the private network IP address... and they're all resets.
Has anyone gotten this to work successfully? Like I said, all ports that are NOT forwarded through the Airport work fine over the VPN, but will not work when connected to the VPN. It's really bizarre.

New data: any ports that are normally forwarded on the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini server will not work when connected to the VPN.
For instance, if I have imaps/993 forwarded from the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini, it works fine over the Internet. If I connect to the VPN, I can connect to all OTHER services on the Mac Mini, but Mail, for instance, will not work.

Upgraded ZENworks Primary Server Will Not Refresh

Good Afternoon,
I recently upgraded our primary server from ZENworks 11.2-11.3a.
The upgrade procedure completed with no errors. However, the server will not refresh it's status in the ZENworks Control Center. Control Center continues to report the server as 11.2.0.0. The UI of the Control Center is upgraded. The agent continues to push back the next contact with server time without updating the last contact with server time
Things I have tried:
-doing a manual refresh through control center gives a "Connection Failed" error
-doing a manual refresh with zac ref completes successfully but does not update anything
-cleared the agent cache using zac cc
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much!

DNS Server does not resolve new generic Top Level Domain names- CNR configuration issue?

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the correct community to post this question, but I will give it a try. I noticed that the users of my network cannot resolve web sites using new top level domain names, like ".education", ".international", etc. I have an internal DNS server made by Infoblox and a Cisco CNR v6.3.3.1 as an external DNS server. Infoblox uses CNR as its forwarder and CNR uses the root DNS servers for queries.
I would think that CNR was the problem because it is an obsolete product but after speaking with a fellow engineer at another organization where they still use an older version of CNR than mine, they have no problems at all. So now I am thinking it is a setting either on Infoblox, or on CNR I need to change. I can see Infoblox is forwarding the requests to CNR but that's about it. I am not sure if CNR is discarding the request. When I do an nslookup from a PC in my network it does not matter if I set my DNS server to be the Infoblox or the CNR. Neither resolves the URL.
Then again, no matter what I lookup using the CNR as my DNS, I only get a response with the root DNS names and IPs!
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Constantinos,
Have you taken a look at the infoblox community site? We've just reposted your question there and alerted some internal SMEs that should provide a solution soon.

OSX 10.6.8 server will Not Boot

Hi my 10.6.8 server will not boot. System is a 2009 Mac pro. I have run disk utility from the original server software install disk, ran repair disk, and repair disk permissions. Get some acl found errors have read that they most often are erroneous, Still got the same errors after permission repairs. While booting in verbose mode get the following messages before it stops:

I did read on another post here to try to reinstall the os, however when I try to install over the operating system it says I am trying to install an older os and it will not let me install in the same volume.... Although I am confident I have all the data on backups as well have timemachine backups, I would rather not have to erase and install this machine.
Any insight to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I found that I had a bad harddrive, or at least that is what I think happened.. I did have a time machine backup as well, although in hindsight, I should have made some manual backups of my open directory and the databases hosted on the server. In any case I ended up purchasing "server grade" harddrives and reinstalling the OS on to the new blank hard drives, I was then able to recover from my time machine backup, however, I did have the issue of the restore going over 100%, I tried this several times and the same result with no end after hours and hours. After reading through various forums I found that clicking the mouse button for about 10 minutes straight once it hit 100% finally worked, I was lucky that the Time machine backup had good data on it since I have read several posts saying that Time machine doesn;t backup directoies or any "open files" very well, however I had no problems after recovering from the backup. I do however now backup or archive my directory everyday, and I rely on Filemaker to backup its own databases, however I still use time machine as well...

Mac mini server - will not take 4GB so-dimm in bank 0

Mac mini server - will not take 4GB so-dimm in bank 0
Hello,
Memory works ok as long as the old 2gb 1066 so-dimm is in bank 0.
Switching the dimms around is no go. It seems to need that bank 0 populated with an old 2gb.
I can use only one 2gb and one 4gb for the mini server to boot.
It seems to have a hard time figuring out the 2x4gb configuration.
Tried PRAM and NVRAM reset. Always getting 3 beeps.
Any chance of getting the full 8gb detected?

Hi All,
I had the same problem that you, I had a mac mini server late 2009 with 10.7.3 OS X, with 4 GB of memory.
I have got these two memories on amazon:
"8Go mémoire - Kit double canal SAMSUNG original 2 x 4 Go 204 broches DDR3-1066 PC3-8500 SO-DIMM (2x M471B5273BH1-CF8) mémoire portable ordinateur DD"
First test to install in the mac mini:
Slot 0 - 4 GB
Slot 1 - 4 GB
3 beeps
2nd test
Slot 0 -
Slot 1 - 4 GB
OK
3rd Test:
Slot 0 - 4 GB
Slot 1 - 1 GB
3 beeps
4th Test:
1 - 1 GB
2 - 4 GB
OK
5th test:
reset PMU
Slot 0 - 4 GB
Slot 1 - 4 GB
3 bips
6th Test:
I did a test of the 2x4 GB in a mac mini 2010
OK
7th test:
Slot 0 - 2 GB
Slot 1 - 4 GB
OK
After to read this forum I gave up and I decided to let the mac mini with 6 GB. Well, as I wanted to try it again one last time, I tried to put the slot 0 memory forcing a bit. But I did not noticed nothing special.
Well, at this last time, it works. 8 GB in the mac mini server
here some screenshots:
I hope this info will help you to resolve this problem. But seriously, I am not giving you nothing else than hope

HT1688 This morning loaded 7.0.4 and noticed that my email pop server will not download email and when I try to delete apps the X doesn't pop up in the left corner anymore. The app wiggles but the X is gone.

This morning after downloading 7.0.4 I've noticed that my email POP server will not download my email. Also you can not delete apps.
With the app wiggling the "X" doesn't appear in the upper left corner which allows you to delete that particular app. I have told friends
that are still on 7.0.3 not to download 7.0.4.

The "x" only appears on apps that you are allowed to delete. You cannot delete the Apple-supplied Apps like Mail. There is no problem here with iOS 7
Also make sure that you do not have a restriction set on "deleting apps". If this is set you will not be able to delete any App. See Settings > General > Restrictions

Message server will not start on AIX 6

I have a standard ECC6 system running the 185 kernel and ORACLE 10.2.0.2 on AIX 6. which is giving me a problem. I also have 2 other systems apparently with the same configuration which operate perfectly.
The problem I have is that if I stop the system the message server will not start. If I wait until the following day the message server starts pefectly. I have not been able to test stopping the system and waiting an hour or so and then restarting in the same day, so I do not know if the overnight wait is relevant.

Hi,
Thr 01 ***LOG Q0I=> NiIBindSocket: bind (67: Address already in use) [nixxi.cp p 3227]
Looks like port 3227 is already used. You can check the ports by netstat -a -n from your command prompts. Also check your settings in /etc/services and /etc/hosts files.
Check your filewall rules/disable antivirus if any and give a go.
Hope this helps.

DNS workng but not resolving itself

Just promoted my 1st 2012 server to DC to replace 2003 DC. DNS has replicated to 2012 and zone entries are the same on both servers. The hostname of the 2012 server is not resolving even though there is entries in DNS on both servers for it.
DNS on the 2012 server seems to be resolving everything else correctly except it's own name. Network discovery and file share are enabled. The NIC on both servers has the IP address of the 2003 server for DNS. I can get to the 2012
server if I use it's IP address but Client computers need to be able to get to the 2012 server by hostname.

try :
1. Restart DNS services
2. run these commands on server :
ipconfig \flushdns
ipconfig \registerdns

TNS will not resolve DEMO

i have a first time install, with the DEMO database. i try "sqlplus system/manager@DEMO" and TNS will not resolve. i started the appropriate listener, and it says it is listening to DEMO. i am not on a network, just using local machine. the tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, and listener.ora files seem to be fine, any help?

This message says that Oracle can find the database with DNS that you have given.
With a tnsping, you can verify it.
Below, I have a problem with my listener but Oracle can resolve the DNS orcl.

Copyright (c) 1997, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Used parameter files:

TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
C:\Documents and Settings\Nicolas>You can see above the used parameter files :
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\sqlnet.ora
Oracle need to know the directory where to find the file that define the TNS.
The directory is thus :
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\
Normally, you find in this directory the file tnsnames.ora which makes the link between you DNS (ORCL) and the database.
Below a example on my computer :
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ngerard)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)What you can do to help Oracle to find this file, is to add an environment variable TNS_ADMIN with this value C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\.
Restart the Oracle BI Administration Tool and normally, you're done !
Good luck

My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

You will need to install the printer on your Mac
Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Open Print & Fax
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
Wait for your printer to appear in the next box, then click it to highlight it
Click Add at the lower right
Be sure to select the correct printer when you try to print as you will see your printer listed twice. Good idea to make the printer now installed on your Mac the default printer so you do not have to choose which printer to use each time you want to print.
You can also go into Print & Fax, select the printer associated with the Time Capsule and click the - (minus) button if you want to delete that location.

Boot your computer into Safe Mode usually by tapping the F8 key at boot. Select Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
From there type rstrui.exe and select a Restore Point prior to the time the problem started.
If unable, you will have to perform a Factory Restore.

Aliases will not resolve after 10.6.8 upgrade

I just upgraded to 10.6.8 on my power mac and now my desktop aliases will not resolve. Any ideas how to fix this?

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
