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!!

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... 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

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,
D

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.

Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache folder?

We are getting calls from our clients complaining of slowdowns in loading our Java applet. The reason is a virusscanner. If a virusscanner is in the middle, it can drastically slow down the download process, and therefore cause some high delay before the user can work on the our product as expected.
On this csutomer's side, it may take up to 10 min (the first time it is ran) instead of 1 min. JRE 1.6 is in use.
They dont want to exclude from antivirus scan all files from Sun\Java\Deployment\cache folder.
Question:
Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache to make it less unique?
Thanks,

I suggest you solve the real problem - big files.
There are two scenarios
1. Initial download
2. Updates.
The first takes as long as it takes. No way around it.
The second means that you can't use one jar. Otherwise every single update requires downloading the entire application every time. Multiple jars means only the one that changed is downloaded.

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 a report thanks to the report painter

Hello,
Is it possible to change the name of a report thanks to the report painter GRR2?
Thanks!
SB

Hi,
First of all, it's possible to change a report description(title), if that what's you mean. If you want to change a code(name), then indeed you have to copy your report under a new name. To delete the report, first delete it from the report group (via GR52) and then you will be able to delete it.

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

Is it possible to change the name of my podcast?

I want to change the name of my podcast. Is it possible? Please help.

This depends on the situation. If you were hand-writing the feed (which I assume you aren't) you could just change the 'title' tag. Some podcast creation programs or online service will let you change the podcast name, and doing that and re-publishing will get your name change onto the Store after a couple of days.
However, some programs or services create the feed with a file name which is drawn from the title. If you change the name you will change the feed URL and then iTunes won't know where to look for it and your podcast will cease to update.
So you need to take that into consideration before changing the title.

Is it possible to change the name of the about button "About" to "MyPName"??

Hi,
Is it possible, in AfterEffects CS3, to change displaying name of the about button "About" to "MyPName"??
If that is not possible could you please tell me how can I add the parameter, in my UI, similar to the "About" button?? I mean
- color of the "MyPName" = color of the "About" button ( blue color right now )
- click on "MyPName" then should open dialog ... etc.
Thanks

It cannot be possible ( I think ).

Is it possible to change the name on an account?

Hi,
I live in a shared house and one of my housemates has just moved out. He was in charge of the Internet bill. This was with Virgin and they would not let him transfer the account over to somebody else. We are now looking for a new provider but we need this option. Many of us don't know how long we will be staying.
So, is it possible to take out a BT contract with the option to change the account holder?
Thanks.

Hi tdm,
Thats not possible if you take out a contract and someone else wants to takeover that line or be named as the account holder the service would have to be ceased in you name and the person wanting to be named/incharge would have to apply as a new customer,the only way to change a name on the account is bereavement this has to be immediate family.

I know how to change the name for iCloud, but the name of the computer itself if that makes any sense.
