Server names and aliases do not work on client machines

I have Leopard Server 10.5.6, Advanced setting, on a local machine behind a Time Capsule router. The server's IP was set at 10.0.0.100 (the Time Capsule is 10.0.0.1).
After fiddling around with DNS names, I set the DNS name of the server (Server Admin -> Settings -> Network) to ABC-Server.local
However, from any computer on the network, going to "All... -> Servers" in Finder displays two folders, "abc.server" and "abcserver.local". Inside both these folders, aliases are unreachable.
1. Is there a way to remove these two folders and their aliases? I tried to "rm" or "sudo rm" them from a client and the server computer, but I get the "Operation not permitted".
I am also wondering if this is related to the Workgroup Manager: Selecting a user, then "Home" displays
afp://abc.server/Groups
afp://abcserver.local/Rewriting
etc.
I cannot remove these paths (the "-" sign is greyed out).
2. Is this related to the above? How can I remove these paths?
Also, setting up a roaming home profile (so that users can log in from any workstation) has been difficult up to now. I tried following the official instructions manual, but it didn't work out for me, maybe due to the above problems?
Thank you.

Removing the server in Directory Activity seems to remove the above "Server" folder and its contents, so could this be related to the Open Directory service?
From Server Admin, looks like I can't edit much. Are there any settings in Server Admin that I should check or fix?

DNS Issues - Can ping server name and IPs but not FQDNs.

Hi All,
Hopefully some one can help me here, I am having an issue where one of my domain attached servers cannot ping any FQDNs in the environment but it can ping the host names and the IPs and look up the host names from a reverse look up.
We have done the following troubleshooting:
Flushed and registered DNS cache.
Restarted the DNS client and net logon services on the effected server
Preformed standard checks and commands such as:
Checked the event logs and found there were warnings for DNS registration.
Compared the DNS settings in the network adapters across the rest of the servers in the environment and found that they were all the same. DNS Suffixes are added in the correct order and are set to register.
Pinging FQDNs which is not giving any results.
Tracert FQDNs which is also not giving any results.
Nslookup which is querying the DNS server directly and giving results as expected
Ran the command which reported successful: dcdiag /test:registerindns /dnsdomain:sub.domain.net /v
Checked and updated the permissions on DNS for the affected server to give the server full control of its own DNS entry.
Replaced the DNS Client service DLL with one from a server that is working as expected.
Also worth noting is that the affected server (as well as every other server in the environment) has 2 NICs, one that communicates with DNS and AD and the other does not have any DNS IPs set.
Not this is not the first time this happened, a reboot fixed the issue before but it seems to be a reoccurring problem now.
If any one can shed some light on this issue I would be grateful.
Regards,
Steve.

Hi Steve,
First, we should confirm if this issue is caused by DNS.
When you ping the FQDN, does the server show the correct corresponding IP address?
If no, there should be some error messages. If it is possible, please post the screenshot of this issue.
To check the process about how does server resolve the FQDN, please follow the steps below:
clear local DNS cache with command ipconfig /flushdns
perform the network capture
ping the specified FQDN
Check the DNS traffic
To download Network Monitor, please click the link below:

Besides, have you tried to update the NIC driver to the latest version?
Best Regards.

4.0 EA3 -- SQL Server Drag and drop still not working

My clients love SQLD D because they can access SQL Server and Access as well as Oracle of course.
Drag and Drop of tables from the table view have not worked in a while.
appear to only see things in the Master Database. Even if you retrieve the list of databases and set you still en up only in the MASTER.
You then have to fully qualify to retrieve a table.

What exactly is your question here?

Administrator name and password does not work in other accounts

My hard drive died so I had one installed. I reinstalled contents from TimeMachine. When my son is in his account and he is prompted for the Administrator's name and password I type in the required info but the shaking text box indicates that my admin name and password are wrong. I tried to unlock the System Preferences and same thing happens. When I am in my account, I have no problems. How to I make it so I can change, install and fix things when I am in another person's account?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

When installing adobe reader on my mac it states that the installation is complete, but on same screen it states the there is an internal server error and reader will not work

when installing adobe reader on my mac it states that the install is complete, but on same screen its sets thaw an internal server error has occurred and reader will not work

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem on one of my Macs (MBP 15 Mid-2010 / OS X Yosemite): Both reader and Acrobat Pro download without a hitch. Both also install with no problem.
But once you click the program to open, they both return "an internal error occurred".
I tried downloading three separate copies, and still get the same error message when I install and launch. I've also uninstalled the previous installations via CleanMyMac2 to make sure it's no longer in the SSD. Same results.
Am using a new SSD as internal boot drive, with fresh / clean installation of OS X and Apps (previous internal HDD crashed) -- And am seeing errors not only with Acrobat, but also with LR5 which always comes up with a "An error occurred when attempting to change modules" -- inspite or uninstall, download and reinstall. Not sure if it's a registry issue? (Not even sure if that's the case with OS X).
Do I need to reformat the whole SSD? I hope not!
Thanks
Edwin

Using scan name in tns file not working at client side...

Hi All,
I have installed 2 node RAC -11gR2 on ORACLE VM Server 2.2.1.
now, I want to give tnsentry to dev team to use this RACDB.
I am using scan name in tnsnames.ora file. Also I have make scan name entry in /etc/hosts not in the DNS.
I have below entry in RACDB server...
RACDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = RWCORA-cluster-scan)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = racdb)
== now in dev user side, If I give the same above tns entry and make entry of this scan name and two VIPs in /etc/hosts file of dev user then SQL*Plus is successfully connected but not JDBC like SQL*Developer.
I have make below entry in dev user's /etc/hosts file:
10.40.0.51 RWCORARAC1-vip
10.40.0.52 RWCORARAC2-vip
10.40.0.50 RWCORA-cluster-scan
Is this correct way or suggest me perfect link through which I canconnect all OCI, JDBC connection from client side.
Thanks...

you can use JDBC thin URL in SQL developer.
Choose NEW/DATABASE CONNECTION, then put the connection type "Advanced" and then place the jdbc url as :
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=RWCORA-cluster-scan)(PORT=1521))(LOAD_BALANCE=yes)(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=racdb)(FAILOVER_MODE=(TYPE=SELECT)(METHOD=BASIC)(RETRIES=180)(DELAY=5))))

Web Forms Not working on Client Machines with Separate Win

Hi friends,
We deployed all our Forms on web and we are using Developer
Server 6.0 ,OAS 4.07, Oracle Jinitator 1.1.7.18 ,Netscape 4.7
Browser
My problem is we configured forms to open in a separate window
this is giving problems on Client Machines they are getting a
blank screen ,previously we used to open forms in the same window
(browser ) at that time we didn't get any problem.
We are using Oracle Jinitiator 1.1.7.18 & Netscape 4.7 as
browser on Client Machines.
Thanks in Advance...!

JInitiator will be downloaded only once - the first time when u connect to a web-forms application. After that - no problem. It is true that the first time it takes a little bit longer, but I think forms are working better using JInitiator. However - it is just a matter of settings how u will make your application to run. Oracle did great improvement of the speed introducing the forms servlet listener. I would expect even better performance with Forms9i. And Win2000 is not a problem, but combination between Win2000 and Pentium4 is. There is a way to avoid your (installation) problems however.

Launching EAS from URL not working on client machine.

We are on version 11.1.1.4. When I use EAS URL on the server it is working fine. But when I use from a different machine other than the server it is not working, after selecting the "locale country" and clicking launch button it is giving the following error. i checked the java version also and client machine is on 1.6. I also tried on different IE versions. But from the same client machine I am able to connect through the installed version of EAS.
Is something I need to open ports or anything like that. Please let me know your suggestions or comments.
HTTP Status 404 -

Hyperion embedded java container/1.0.0
Thanks,

Shiva -- Java version on the server and the client machine is same which is 1.6.0_24.
That is good point about the network. Actually the client and the server are not in the same network but I opened ports on the network router as well as I disabled windows firewall on the server to make sure it is not creating the problem.

How do you stop my iphone keep asking for my works proxy server name and password

how do you stop my iphone keep asking for my works proxy server name and password

Having been in IT for close to 30 years what they actually thought was, "whether you can connect your phone to our network isn't out problem, please go away".
They don't want to troubleshoot it. And, honestly, if it's your personal phone, they shouldn't have to. it's not their problem unless their boss says it is.

When Hard-coded server name and data base name are replaced with variables , execute process task does not produce the result

Hi All,
I am trying to load shape file into a sql spatial table. A execution process task is used to run the ogr2ogr.exe program.
This is how the process tab looks like .
Executable : C:\gdal_ogr2ogr\bin\gdal\apps\ogr2ogr.exe
Argument : -f MSSQLSpatial   MSSQL:server=SQL-ABC-DEV;database=MYSIMPLE_Dev;Trusted_Connection=True;\\mypath\files\shares\Data\www.mypage.htm\my_sample_file.shp
Success value : 1
For above settings, package runs fine. The spatial table is created in SQL server db. However when hard-coded SQL server name and database name are replaced with global variables , the spatial table is not created in the database. Yet the package runs fine.
It does not throw any errors. (I am using another variable for full file path. It is not causing any errors though)
" -f MSSQLSpatial   MSSQL:server="+@[$Project::SQLServerName]+";database="+ @[$Project::DatabaseName] +";Trusted_Connection=True;"+ @[User::Filepath] + "\\my_sample_file.shp"
Both variables are string type. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here please?
I am running this in VS 2012.
Thanks for your help in advance..
shamen

There should be a single space just after True:
before
" -f MSSQLSpatial   MSSQL:server="+@[$Project::SQLServerName]+";database="+ @[$Project::DatabaseName] +";Trusted_Connection=True;"+ @[User::Filepath] + "\\my_sample_file.shp"
after keeping the space
" -f MSSQLSpatial   MSSQL:server="+@[$Project::SQLServerName]+";database="+ @[$Project::DatabaseName] +";Trusted_Connection=True; "+ @[User::Filepath] + "\\my_sample_file.shp"
Thanks
