Server name restrictions

I am planning a System Center deployment and am wondering if there are any restrictions with naming the SC servers. Meaning, is it allowed to use SCCM as the Management server name and SCCMDP as a distribution point? Or a restrictions with
any other SC product besides CM?

Correct, no restrictions at all. The only thing to be potentially concerned about is that you will want to absolutely "adore" whatever name you use for your primary site servername. It is impossible to rename the server to a new name,
and expect ConfigMgr to still work (it won't). So whatever you choose--be in love with it. You'll have that name 4ever.
Standardize. Simplify. Automate.

Need to overcome unique server name restriction (6.1)

Hello,
We need to have managed servers with same name to run on a given machine.
e.g. we have a server name - myserver.
We would like to run servers all having name myserver on our test machine. But
weblogic documentation tells taht all servers in a weblogic installation must
have unique names even across domains.
How can we overcome this restriction?
Can having different weblogic_home solve this problem.
Or any other way?
Why this restriction?
Regards
Mohit

Hi,
As the article mentioned: When you choose the Switch Independent mode, you also can choose the:
Address Hash and Hyper-V Port and Dynamic algorithm.
When you choose the Hyper-V Port and Dynamic algorithm, you must use the Sum of Queues then you need set the non-overlapping processor set, you must to configure
each NIC in your team to use the different processors. As an example, if you have 16 CPUs and 2 NICs in your team, one correct configuration would be to assign CPUs 2-7 to the first NIC and CPUs 8-15 to the second NIC.

Changed server name, reconfiged emca, still getting java errors on console

I installed 10gr2 with local database control only, and had all working fine. I then moved the server into production after testing and changed the server name. Of course this changed all the settings for dbconsole so I ran the emca config again from some info I got off of this forum a week or so ago. I can't seem to find that thread any more, and I need to get this working. I could not find any more references to the old server name, but the java error is still showing one. I can bring up the login page and login, but then it wont display any info.
I've been searching to see what I need to do to totally re-install the local database control component but can't seem to find anything. I am also going to eventually have grid control running on another machine as well, but I imagine that I still have to have all the proper things in place on this server before I can connect either thru grid control or locally in any case.

REPOSITORY_URL=http://winms-wwscale.millsite.net:5500/em/upload/
I searched every file in the <server url> directory and changed any references to the old servername to the new one. The only ones that showed up were for isqlplus items.
I am pretty sure I have run the "emca dbcontrol db -repos recreate" command, but perhaps I'll do it again. I also have a thread going on this in metalink and one suggestion is to do the following:
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP RESTRICT;
A. Drop the repository manually using following procedure.
Stop the DB Console if not already stoped: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole
Log on in sqlplus as sys user and run the following commands:
a. drop user sysman cascade;
b. drop role MGMT_USER;
c. drop user MGMT_VIEW cascade;
d. drop public synonym MGMT_TARGET_BLACKOUTS;
e. drop public synonym SETEMVIEWUSERCONTEXT;
(Note If any of the above statement failed and saying object doesn't exist just skip that
statement)
B. Drop the DB Control configuration files.
Remove the following directories:
$rm -rf $ORACLE_HOME/<HOSTNAME_SID>
$rm -rf $ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_<HOSTNAME_SID>
On Windows systems just delete the folders above from the Explorer.
You have to replace the values in the <> with the correct values from your environment .
The shutdown and startup restrict seems a tad severe to me, I'm thinking thats if others may be trying to access the database control page while you are doing all of this.

WebtopNaming - can not find server name for server ID

We have a LB, and web servers in front of OpenSSO app servers in our environment.
OpenSSO debug log CoreSystem fills up with lot of errors like these:
ERROR: WebtopNaming.getServerFromID() can not find server name for server ID : 07
com.iplanet.services.naming.ServerEntryNotFoundException: Cannot find server.
Sometimes, it even complains about a server id (07 in the following trace) which doesn't even exist in the Site Id Table.
There are no changes in the configuration. DNS is properly configured and all the servers and their connectivity are available. CoreSystem throws these errors even after a restart of opensso app servers.
Any ideas about the root cause?

Here is my site configuration in OpenSSO:
There are 4 servers in the two opensso hosts (2 secure, 2 non secure)
Servers:
http://host4.company.com:8080/openSSO
http://host5.company.com:8080/openSSO
https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO
https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO
Only one site with secure URLs is configured

Primary URL: https://opensso-qa.company.com:443/openSSO
Assigned Servers:
https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO
https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO
From the CoreSystem log, Server ID definitions are:
https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO=01

Sometimes it throws an exception with existing server IDs. But sometimes it also complains about non existing server IDs.

List of server names

Is it possible to get a list of server names that Adobe uses for hosting Creative Cloud apps and services?
I am stuck behind a whitelisting firewall and any domains I need to access have to be listed specifically.
Thanks

Well... this morning I tried it again and it worked, without my having to change anything!
I then managed to get Edge Animate to install after simply retrying 20 times.
It seems there was some problem with Adobe's servers but what else is new?

Reference to database and/or server name in '' is not supported in this version of SQL Server

Hello all
I am using C# and ADO.NET (native) - Visual Studio 2013.
I am always using full qualified queries like "SELECT * FROM [database].[schema].[table]"
Obviously there is a problem when doing this against SQL Azure,
I get the following error: "Reference to database and/or server name in '' is not supported in this version of SQL Server"
Interesting fact: With SQL Management Studio, the same query works.
I need to know if this error is really a true one or not.
If yes, I can quit using SQL Azure. I would need a SQL Server and not a partial SQL Server :-)
Thanks and best regards
Frank

Hi,
Here are my suggestions:
1. Use partially qualified queries, because:
a. from a security standpoint, you'd want to limit your login's access across the server instance
b. in order to achieve a even better, you should specify your database as the Initial Catalog directly in the SQL Connection.
If you take into account these practices, SQL Database doesn't come with any limitation from that point of view.
However, in regard to 'With SQL Management Studio, the same query works', this is actually only partially true because if you run that query agains ADO.NET, you'll actually end up in switching databases along the query which is obviously not permitted in
SQL Database since you're running in a hosted black-box version of SQL you're not managing. It's just like running the USE <dbname> command which obviously doesn't work.

WRT610N - Unable to change "Server Name" - No Text box.

I have my WRT610N running V2 firmware. In all of the documentation I see, on the Admin area within the Storage Tab, there is a text box next to the Server Name and you are able to update that field to change the Server Name. However, I have no textbox here, and thus am unable to change the Server Name. I've attempted factory defaults, firmware upgrades, and multiple reboots to attempt to solve the issue. Any help out there?
Thanks in advance

Whats the Firmware version is installed on your Router and whats the Version number of your Router? If it's an Version 2 Router, then it doesn't have an option to change the Server Name. As far as i know the Version 1 Router has an option to change the Server Name.
If its an Version 1 Router and if you have updated the firmware, with the latest firmware you don't have an option to change the Server Name, By Default its WRT610N.

E72 connected to wifi but 'invalid server name' pr...

I had no problems connecting to the wifi at the mobile phone shop but have the 'invalid server name' problem at home. however, my husband who is using Nokia too has no problems using the home wifi on his phone.
it shows that the phone is connected to the wifi but when i try to browse, it tells me that the server name is invalid. I have had phone conversations with people from Digi, Nokia and the phone company all day long and this continues to be a problem

Delete all browser privacy data.

How to pass database logon info to a Crystal Report in a subreport with different server name using VS C #

Post Author: fabu1971
CA Forum: .NET
I could pass the database logon in Reports with subreports but the reports with subreports with different server name I can not pass the logon information . Do you have any idea how I can do that to pass the database logon with different database or server name ?

Post Author: quafto
CA Forum: .NET
You can use the Subreports collection of the ReportDocument object to access all the subreports in your main report. These are returned as ReportDocument objects. Once you have your subreport as a ReportDocument you can loop through your Tables collection and set the ConnectionProperties to your appropriate Server/Database. For example here is some pseudo code: ConnectionInfo boConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();boConnectionInfo.ServerName = "serverName";boConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "databaseName";boConnectionInfo.UserID = "username";boConnectionInfo.Password = "yourpassword"; foreach(ReportDocument boSubreport in mainReport.Subreports){ foreach(Table boTable in boSubreport.Database.Tables) { TableLogOnInfo boTableLogOnInfo = boTable.LogOnInfo; boTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = boConnectionInfo; boTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(boTableLogOnInfo); boTable.Location = "newtablelocation"; }}

Get error when passing a server name to Crystal Report

I am developing a desktop application using VS 2012 with CRforVS_13_0_9 and CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_10 installed. The database is SQL Server 2012 Express. I use SQL OLEDB in Crystal Report to connect the SQL database. Here is part of the codes.
Dim crTableLogoninfo As New TableLogOnInfo
Dim crConnectionInfo As New ConnectionInfo
Dim crTables As Tables
Dim crTable As Table
With crConnectionInfo
.ServerName = Login.sServer
.DatabaseName = Login.sDatabase
.UserID = Login.sDBUserID
.Password = Login.sDBPassword
End With
Try
crTables = CReport.Database.Tables
For Each crTable In crTables
crTableLogoninfo = crTable.LogOnInfo
crTableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogoninfo)
Next
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Nothing
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = CReport
I get an error "Failed to open connection -- Database vendor code 17" when I run a Crystal Reports through my application. The problem is Crystal Reports does not like the server name which is passed. The purpose for passing a server name is to connect to different server if needed. I am not 100% sure the error occurs after VS 2012 or SQL Server 2012 express was updated.
Any ideas how I can fix this problem?
Thanks,
John

Hi John
First, you want to check the error code in your database documentation. The error is being passed from the db client through the report engine totally unmodified. Googling the error will also be a good idea.
And, seeing as you are using SQL Server 2012, make absolutely sure that the SQL Native 11 client is installed.

Domain name/"primary DNS" name/mail host name/mail server name/mx name

Hi,
I have registered my domain name (N.com) with an external dns server and created an MX record (mail.N.com) for it as well. My server sits behind a router and internet traffic is port(80)-forwarded to my server's fixed internal ip address (I can access my webpages from the internet just fine). When I initially setup the server I was asked to give it a "primary DNS name." I naturally assumed that N.com was supposed to be entered here, but that just caused all kinds of problems (though I still do not understand why). So I reinstalled and currently have server.N.com as the primary DNS name of the server (although it shows up in Server Admin and Workgroup Manager as server.local--why is that?)
I have had no luck getting any email from the internet with the default settings in mail services (domain name of N.com and host name of server.N.com). Having no luck with the defaults, I assumed that maybe I needed to change the host name to "mail.N.com" so that it matched the MX record. I also changed the user preferences in Workgroup Manager to receive mail from mail.N.com--but still no luck. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how come none of the Mail Service literature mentions anything about what a mail "host name" is supposed to be? Is it supposed to be the same as the "Mail Server" name that Workgroup Manager asks each user for? and is it the same as the MX record name?
I am just needing some help to connect all these variously named, but undefined, dots.
Also, how come I can access webmail from the internet using www.N.com/webmail but can't do it from any computers within my physical network (I have to use IPaddress/webmail or server.local/webmail)?
Also, should my user email addresses be [email protected] or [email protected] (which is the current default)?
Thanks in advance and good luck!
John

I had been told by a friend that ... regular email coming in from the internet would go through port 80
Unfortunately you were misinformed.
My MX record needs the extra subname (such as "mail") in front of the domain name, right?
Not at all. A MX record for 'N.com' is entirely valid (expected, in fact).
An MX record tells remote mail servers where to send mail for any domain/subdomain. If you think about it, let's say you worked for Apple and you wanted people to be able to send email to [email protected], well then you need an MX record for 'apple.com'.
You can see if you dig MX apple.com that they actually have 9 MX records, but the point still stands.
Now, you might also have MX records for subdomains so that you can have [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. Each of these subdomains would need a separate MX record.
So, in general, for any set of email addresses @[anything.]domain.com you have a MX record telling remote mail servers where to send that mail.
Of course the MX record name is mail.N.com, but I think you are implying that the in the Mail settings of Server Admin where it asks for domain name all I need to put there is the N.com, right?
What I mean is that you need to set the domain name to whatever domain name you expect to receive mail at.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected], then you enter 'N.com'.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected] then you enter 'mail.N.com'.
If you want both forms, enter one in the main domain and add the other(s) in the Advanced -> Hosting -> Local Host Aliases section.
Is there anything in the Mail settings that needs to have the full MX record name (mail.N.com)?
Yes. Either the 'domain name' or the 'Local Host Aliases' needs to contain the same thing as your MX record. That's because the MX record tells remote servers to send mail to this machine, but the machine won't accept the mail unless it is configured to do so.
What is the "host name" supposed to be?
This should be the name that remote servers see when this machine tries to send outgoing mail.
Ideally this should match the reverse DNS of your IP address, that way when it connects to a remote server it says "Hi, I'm $hostname" and the remote server can lookup the machine's IP address and see the same result. This will reduce the problem of remote servers thinking you're sending them spam.
If you only have a single IP address then this probably needs to be something like 'N.com'. If you don't have control over your reverse DNS then you're going to run into a problem.
Also in the user accounts (in Workgroup Manager) what should the "mail server name" be? Is it the host name or the domain name?
Off hand, I don't know.
Also, why are all the default user email addresses [email protected] (the name I gave the server at setup)? Why doesn't the user accounts create [email protected] as the default address?
Presumably because the mail server says it is 'server.N.com' and therefore any accounts on that machine would be [email protected]. Changing the domain name (as above) should fix that.

How to find out SSRS report server name

I'm trying to follow the steps for using SSRS web services (http://ssrstutorials.blogspot.com/2012/10/lesson-12-using-ssrs-web-services.html).
In Step 3:
Click advanced--> add web reference -- url - http://localhost/reportserver/reportservice2005.asmx
(replace localhost with your report server name).
How do I know what's my report server name?
Thanks,

Hi sherri71,
Sorry for that mark an incorrect reply as an answer.
The reply suggested by Akbar is about Instance Name, not report server name. Based on my further research, I find that the Reporting Services server name is the computer name which install
the report server. So we can try to click Start button, right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties. Under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, you can find your computer name.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How to find out server name in reports9i

hi all
how to find out server name in reports9i
i need the report server name to call a report
thanks
Edited by: vikas singhal on Nov 5, 2008 1:02 AM

You do not need to do anything, if your Report server is on the same machine as the Forms server (which is usually the case) you simply use the url as
/reports/rwservlet?report=myreport' and the server will automatically use the default report server.
then you simply use
web.show_document('/reports/rwservlet?userid=scott/tiger@orcl&report=myreport&desformat=htmlcss&desname=test.html'Tony
Try it now

Report server name issue

Dear All,
I am stucking with the following problem,
I have deployed my ERP apllication (developed in oracle forms & reports 10g) on oracle apllication server 10g forms & report services. my apllication server has two LAN card. out of two one has been configured with statis IP for web access. but while running report from parameter form i am taking report url from table. table contain report server name as my local server name.
My problem is,
If i am accessing erp from web using static ip and running report then server name is not recognized
because it is my local server name coming from table. so for that every time i need to change report url & replace server name with statis ip in browser addr for web users.
Please guide me what should i do to resolve this issue.
Your reply would be greatly apprecited.
Thanks

If "Credentials supplied by the user running the report" is selected, when the report is run, the user will be prompted to provide credentials. They would need to provide credentials that have the appropriate permissions (e.g., read, execute) to the
database. This prevents the double hop.
If "Credentials stored securely in the report server" is selected, you have to enter the username and password of a user (or service account) that has the appropriate permissions (e.g., read, execute) to the database. When the report is run, SSRS will use
these stored credentials each time to authenticate to the database engine and query the data. Users running the report are not prompted to provide credentials. With this option you can use an Active Directory or SQL Server account.
In order to access/run the report, a user will need to authenticate to SSRS. There are options here as well. You can provide them the link to the report manager and they can authenticate, navigate to, and run the report. You can also provide
direct links to reports that users click in a document or application. At this point the user is typically still prompted to authenticate to SSRS. You can also programmatically call the report using API's and essentially build a proxy that authenticates
to SSRS and open the report.
Not sure if that answers your question.

Connection Failed: The server "name" may not exist or it is unavailable...

So I think I know what caused this problem, but I can't figure out how to make it stop...
When I go to print, if I try to click on the pop-up to change the default printer setting, there's a LONG delay, then I get a dialog that says:
Connection Failed
The server "name" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, then try again.
Then there's another delay and I get the message a second time. I can then select any of my printer settings and print fine, it's just an annoying delay if I click on that pop-up accidentally or need to change it.
I have a new iMac and I migrated from my old G5. The "name" of the server it is seeking is my old G5, so that must be in the settings somewhere, but I can't find it. I tried going into the Print & Fax settings in System Preferences, deleting the printer there, and then re-adding, but that didn't clear it up.
Thanks for any insight you can provide!

Hmm, well, this stopped working again for me. I tried swapping ethernet and re-installing the Airport client update - to no avail. I could always see my Mac shares from PCs though. However, I have (for now) managed to connect to the PC using ip address rather than name even though finder quite clearly sees the name. Does your printer connection work by ip rather than name ? I'm going to play name lookup detective for a bit now - it's some kind of Netbios name lookup issue I guess as I've no local DNS service. resolv.conf is apparently not used so a bit of learning to do! ...
... nmblookup seems to work but nslookup doesn't. Looks like SL connect via Finder isn't using nmblookup properly and I can't see how to make that work. When this gets reported enough it should get a publicised work-round or a fix. If only I can get dig/nslookup to slave out to nmblookup ...must be something I can configure for that ??
