Possible to change DNS name... and how

OK, working on an Advanced Server that was setup months ago. An active server used by a small workgroup. It was setup using server1.domain1.local DNS name and now would like to change it to server2.domain2.com Can this be done, if so how? It will have the same external and internal IP addresses.- Lewis

Hi Lewis
This has been discussed many times before. Use the changeip command. A search would reveal how to use it or you can simply consult the manual page for correct usage, man changeip.
Alternatively you could consult the Admin Manual?

Possible to change DNS name?

Hi all,
I would like to chnage the name of my DNS name(currently server.mydomain.com) as I have recently purchased a VPS that I would like to give the sever.mydomain.com name to. The current DNS name is purely internal and does not relate to anything outside the server or router that it is behind. I have already unresolved the IP to the DNS Name at a public level in anticipation of the new VPS.
Is it as simple as changing the DNS name in Server Admin, or do I need to do something at root level?
Any ideas owuld be greatly appreciated!!

How to change host name and domain name in installed Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0?

Hi
I have Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0 installed on server. Meting Place uses Linux (Red Hat) as base operation system. Please tell me how I can change host name and domain name for Meeting Place Express application to integrate it into corporate domain infrastructure.
Thanks in advance!!!
Sincerely yours
Sergey Bondarenko

Hi
Thanks for your attention for my humble problem.
I have performed Meeting Place Express configuration through the “net” command.
But now unfortunately I can't connect to meeting place through web browser. I just get blank page.
Though I can reach the server with help of ssh. I think my DNS works properly because I can resolve the ip address of cumpxvoice .uclab.com and cumpxweb. uclab.com with help of dig command.
Have you any idea?
A lot of thanks in advance!!
Sincerely yours Sergey Bondarenko
Here I have printed the net configuration output of Cisco meeting Place Express:
[root@cumpxvoice root]# net
This is the MeetingPlace Express network configuration utility.
Up to the point where you save changes, it is safe to hit ^C to get
out at any time, in which case nothing will have changed.
1) List current configuration
2) Configure Ethernet port 1
3) Configure Ethernet port 2
4) Configure service bindings
5) Set host names
6) Set domain name
7) Configure DNS service
8) Configure NTP service
9) Configure routing
10) Done

TS5223 i have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How do I change the name and cover of a ebook in ibooks for mac?

I have iBooks on my macbook pro and would like to change the name and cover of some epub books I dowloaded. How do I go about doing this, if there a get info like in itunes that I just can't find?

Try Calibre for Mac, available on macupdate.com. It's clunky to have to use 3rd party software, but until Apple fixes the abomination that is iBooks, that's what we'll have to do.

How to change DB name and SID in RAC environment?

I have 2 node RAC on Red Hat Linux, EL 4, upd. 4. It's using ASM
and it is working great. However, after 2 years of faithful service
I was asked to change DB name and SID. In non-RAC environment, that is
easy. Rename a few files, change init.ora and re-create control file.
I've done that many times. With 10g RAC, however, situation is different. There is also RAC registry which has the database under the certain name and, I believe, it also has SID registered. Can you, please, point me to a document describing how to do that? It's a production DB and I can't test it anywhere.

It's in the manual:

How to change of NAME and IP after RAC installation.

Hi Friends,
I have a challenge here...Would appreciate if anyone can help me..
I have to install 10.2.0.3 Oracle RAC on windows 2003 server 64 bit.
My issue is now the server names and ips are set and I am going to install the RAC.
But the client need is that after one month, they need to change the names and ips of the servers (a one time change).
Because according to their server naming standards, current production servers are having the acceptable names and ips.
The installation was on a 32 bit OS, so they are facing out of process memory errors. Thats why they are going to 64 bit OS on new servers.
After the new servers are ready, the data will be migrated to new server. After a month, they need to change the names of new servers to that of the old (current production) servers.
Could anybody help me by giving me information about how to change the NAME and IP after a RAC installation ?
Any metalink notes or commands as it is........
Thank you,
Mahesh.

Hi,
You can change the IP later but you can not change the hostname of the system.
You have to install CRS freah if you want to change the hostname of the system.
Please let us know which IP you want to change.
You can see the metalink Note.276434.1 for VIP or VIP hostname change.

The person who used to work for the company and install the programs on our computers is no longer around. Is there I way I can bypass this or change the name and password so I can install Photoshop on my new Mac laptop? Thank you.

Change the password with your OS X install disk. See

Is it possible to change domain name

OS: SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8
Oracle Version: 10.1.0.2.0
I have Oracle Database installed on SLES 8.
Is it possible to change domain name after database is running?
(Not in live production yet)
If yes where I need to make changes?
Regards,

for the database, the dns domain is of no interrest. the parameter db_domain could be change dynamically, but it does not have to match the dns domain. In your sqlnet.ora, you can also define NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN and the domain name in tnsnames.ora. But it does not have to match the dns domain.

Possible to change the name of shared folders?

I deleted the original shared public folder that looks like "User's Public Folder". When I went to add the Public Folder back it ends up being shared with the name "Public". Is it possible to change this name to something more descriptive? I have several Public folders being shared (several accounts on the computer) and having them all shared as Public makes it a bit hard to determine which account's Public folder you are looking at. Does anyone know how to change the name?

Okay, after some searching around, I figured it out. Primarily I got most of it from here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6266526 , but I added something else to make it work better. The linked post mentioned that they got it to work so you can see "username's Public Folder" when someone file shared from another Mac, but in the Sharing Preference, it would still read as "Public". Well I managed to figure out how to fix that too. Bare with me.
1) Make sure the Public folder in question is set up to be shared in the Sharing Preferences
2) Go to System Preferences > Accounts
3) Control Click the username in question and click Advance Options.
4) Copy the data (the bunch of numbers & letters) from the UUID field. (you'll need it for later, save it to a txt file temporarily, you'll be overwriting your clipboard later)
5) Close System Preferences
6) From the Finder Menu click "Go" > "Go to Folder..." and enter this /var/db/dslocal/nodes
7) Then do a "Get Info" on the "Default" folder and allow EVERYONE read+write access
8) Do the same for the the following two folders, CONFIG and SHAREPOINTS
9) "Get Info" on the "Public.plist" file and allow EVERYONE read+write access (BACKUP THIS FILE)
10) Rename the "Public.plist" to "Username's Public Folder.plist"
11) Open the file in a text editor and change every instance of "Public" with "username's Public Folder" (except for <string>/Users/USERNAME/Public</string>. Thats the actual folder location you don't want to change that.
12) Now what you need to enter this
<key>sharepointaccountuuid</key>
<array>
<string>NUMBER</string>
</array>
It goes between <key>name</key> & <key>sharepointgroupid</key> sections. It should look like the following:
</array>
<key>name</key>
<array>
<string>Username's Public Folder</string>
</array>
<key>sharepointaccountuuid</key>
<array>
<string>NUMBER</string>
</array>
<key>sharepointgroupid</key>
13) Now Paste the UUID number you got before where I have NUMBER written above. Make sure the line spaces and indents match the other entries on the file.
14) Save the file and change the permissions to your new "Username's Public Folder.plist" and the other folders you changed back to EVERYONE "no access".
15) Now the link said to restart File Sharing. I decided to reboot for good measure.
Once done you should see "Username's Public Folder" in the Sharing Preferences and when other Macs try to file share.
Works perfectly for me, and I hope that works for you too!

Is it possible to change the name of the characteristic after the PA is act

Is it possible to change the name of the characteristic after the PA is activated?
If yes what should I do?

Hi,
yes its possible and it works in the same way as the creation of a new characteristic / assigment to an up- and running operating concern.
Thats because the "name" of a characteristic is not stored in a text table but it is the field label of the data element.
Search in the SDN forum if you are unsure how to do that.
Best regards, Christian
