Setting the DNS Suffix in Windows-2000:

This is a solution for the frequent problem that arises during installation of iPlanet Application Server on Windows-2000 platform.
Problem: After installation completes, the installation directory remains empty, there is no entry of iAS in "Windows start menu". It doesn't install anything.
Remedy: Set the DNS Suffix.
Procedure:
Right click on My computer (icon on desktop or in windows-explorer), then click on properties, go to Network identification Tab, Click on properties, then click the more button, set the Primary DNS suffix (like india.sun.com), and also check the Change Primary DNS suffix when domain membership change check box, click all Ok buttons.
Note:
1. Make sure that it is added to the windows registry:
Just run regedit and click on the My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \ControlSet001\Services \Tcpip\Parameters key, you will see the Domain key value set to your domainname, otherwise enter the domain name into this key value, and than reboot the m/c, and than reinstall the iAS. It should work.
2. Make sure you are using static IP address.

Set Primary DNS Suffix Using Powershell

For a Windows Server 2012 installation, what Powershell cmdlet can be used to change the Primary DNS Suffix ? I've tried using 'Set-DnsClientGlobalSetting -SuffixSearchList contoso.com' but this only alters the DNS Suffix Search List, not the primary DNS
suffix.

You might want to take you question to one of two forums that specialist in scripting issues.

How to change the DNS suffix from "home" on home h...

Strange question: I noticed with the DHCP lease coming from the HomeHub that there is a DNS suffix applied of "home".
I use a VPN connection to the office and I want it to take the VPN DNS suffix which it used to do on my old router where there was no other DNS suffix.
How can I remove this on the HomeHub? I have looked around in the DHCP settings in advanced mode but it isn't advanced enough!
I have got round the issue by adding the addesses on the VPN to my local hosts file, but I want a proper solution.
Any ideas how I can get really behind the scenes on the Home Hub?

It wasn't anything to do with the DNS suffix afterall (not that I could find where to change it).
From looking at other posts about VPN, it was to do with the BT automatic redirecting on DNS error which is automatically enabled.
Once I disabled the setting (can't remember the link but it is easy to find on the forum) then all my VPN addresses were working again.
Quite why BT would automatically enable a "service" that breaks a simple thing like a VPN connection is beyond me.

How to set a DNS suffix?

Howdy!
Is it possible to insert a DNS suffix somewhere in OSX 10.4.8? I've been googling forever, but all that comes up about DNS suffixes is Windows related.
Any ideas?

What do you mean by 'DNS suffix'?
If you mean a domain name that's automatically appended to hostnames when resolving, add the domains you want to the 'Search Domains' in Network preferences.

How to set the path variable on Windows ME?

I want to get a friend of mine to start using java the only problem is that we both dont know how to set the path variable in Windows ME. I cant seem to find any instructions on it for ME. So if someone could please tell me how or give me a llnk to directions for Windows ME. Thanks.

Refer to the Installation Instructions for the package that you installed - I believe #5 if the instructions has the information. A link to the instructions is at the page you installed from.

How to set the fix size jframe window

when I run the jframe ,the jframe window size is very small
1)how to set the fix size jframe window??
2)how to set the jframe cannot change the window size??
thx~~

1. You can set the size by calling JFrame's method setSize. There are two versions of this method: (1) setSize(int width, int height) and (2) setSize(Dimension d). Note, that when you use this method to set the frame size, you don't have to call JFrame's pack method.
2. JFrame has a method called setResizable(boolean resizable) which you can call with the argument false.
Without any ill intent, these questions are regarding something that is very easily answered by looking at the documentation for the JFrame class. I suggest to anyone working with swing to at least look briefly through the base classes they're extending before giving up. In my experience it is always more gratifying to figure things out on my own than asking someone. But please don't take this the wrong way, I respect people who seek out help in order to further their knowledge, instead of just giving up.

2K8 - Best practice for setting the DNS server list on a DC/DNS server for an interface

We have been referencing the article
"DNS: DNS servers on <adapter name> should include their own IP addresses on their interface lists of DNS servers"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378900%28WS.10%29.aspx but there are some parts that are a bit confusing. In particular is this statement
"The inclusion of its own IP address in the list of DNS servers improves performance and increases availability of DNS servers. However, if the DNS server is also a domain
controller and it points only to itself for name resolution, it can become an island and fail to replicate with other domain controllers. For this reason, use caution when configuring the loopback address on an adapter if the server is also a domain controller.
The loopback address should be configured only as a secondary or tertiary DNS server on a domain controller.”
The paragraph switches from using the term "its own IP address" to "loopback" address. This is confusing becasuse technically they are not the same. Loppback addresses are 127.0.0.1 through 127.255.255.255. The resolution section then
goes on and adds the "loopback address" 127.0.0.1 to the list of DNS servers for each interface.
In the past we always setup DCs to use their own IP address as the primary DNS server, not 127.0.0.1. Based on my experience and reading the article I am under the impression we could use the following setup.
Primary DNS: Locally assigned IP of the DC (i.e. 192.168.1.5)
Secondary DNS: The assigned IP of another DC (i.e. 192.168.1.6)
Tertiary DNS: 127.0.0.1
I guess the secondary and tertiary addresses could be swapped based on the article. Is there a document that provides clearer guidance on how to setup the DNS server list properly on Windows 2008 R2 DC/DNS servers? I have seen some other discussions
that talk about the pros and cons of using another DC/DNS as the Primary. MS should have clear guidance on this somewhere.

Actually, my suggestion, which seems to be the mostly agreed method, is:
Primary DNS: Locally assigned IP of the DC (i.e. 192.168.1.5)
Secondary DNS: The assigned IP of another DC (i.e. 192.168.1.6)
Tertiary DNS: empty
The tertiary more than likely won't be hit, (besides it being superfluous and the list will reset back to the first one) due to the client side resolver algorithm time out process, as I mentioned earlier. Here's a full explanation on how
it works and why:
This article discusses:
WINS NetBIOS, Browser Service, Disabling NetBIOS, & Direct Hosted SMB (DirectSMB).
The DNS Client Side Resolver algorithm.
If one DC or DNS goes down, does a client logon to another DC?
DNS Forwarders Algorithm and multiple DNS addresses (if you've configured more than one forwarders)

I agree with this proposed solution as well:
Primary DNS: Locally assigned IP of the DC (i.e. 192.168.1.5)
Secondary DNS: The assigned IP of another DC (i.e. 192.168.1.6)
Tertiary DNS: empty
One thing to note, in this configuration the Best Practice Analyzer will throw the error:
The network adapter Local Area Connection 2 does not list the loopback IP address as a DNS server, or it is configured as the first entry.
Even if you add the loopback address as a Tertiary DNS address the error will still appear. The only way I've seen this error eliminated is to add the loopback address as the second entry in DNS, so:
Primary DNS: The assigned IP of another DC (i.e. 192.168.1.6)
Secondary DNS: 127.0.0.1
Tertiary DNS: empty
I'm not comfortable not having the local DC/DNS address listed so I'm going with the solution Ace offers.

Firefox 3.6.6 only prints the first page on windows 2000

Trying to print web pages using forefox 3.6.6 on Windows 2000 only the first page prints though multiple blank pages are printed after the first
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== don't know but noticed with 3.5

They gotta fix this. It's been a huge problem for me for more than a year. I''ll defect to Chrome soon if they dont address this bug soon. Printing has been atrocious, even pathetic, i hate to say it. I can only print one page, maybe two if i am lucky. Sometimes, if it prints more than one page, the first page is mostly blank and the formatting of the text and sidebars is completely overlapped and sometimes unreadable. Basically, printing in Firefox is useless - it's a joke. I have to take the URL from Firefox and paste it into Chrome to get a decent print job. Why isnt this bug a higher priority?
Tags: Firefox cannot print, Firefox printing bug, Firefox only prints one page

How do you set the priority for active windows?

When I open a download file for an application from Safari, it opens behind the active window. How do I set the priority so that the download file window opens on top of the active window so I don't have to move a window to find it?

How are you opening it? From the "download" list?

Error starting the 9iAS installer on Windows 2000 on P4 laptop

I am having problem running 9iAS Installer on my P4 Laptop.
any solution?

Hi
I have successfully installed Oracle products in P4 hardware configuration and there is a know bug in Oracle & P4. Follow these steps below and I am sure that you will be successful in installing Oracle on P4.
Background:
When installing and configuring Oracle 8i to support a Syllabus Plus timetabling application on a Pentium 4 Server with Windows 2000 Advance Server, the following issues were encountered:
1.     The Oracle 8i Universal Installer (OUI) aborts without notice
2.     When installed using either the Oracle 9i OUI or the patched 8i OUI downloaded from Oracle Corporation, errors occurred during installation and java based configuration tools such as the Database Configuration Assistant and the Network Configuration Assistant would not run.
Problem Causes
Oracle Corporation have documented the following known issues:
1.     The OUI 8.1.x fails to recognize the P4 processor and aborts without notice.
2.     The OUI 8.1.x or above has problems on machines that use the Sun JRE and Symantec JIT. Windows 2000 (all versions) and Netware platforms are affected by this.
Work Around
The following work around has been used successfully at the Northern Territory University to overcome these problems.
     1.     Install Oracle 9i patched installer available from Oracle Technology Network website on the machine running on Pentium 4 Processor.
     2.     After installing Oracle Universal Installer, open file oraparam.ini and make the following modifications: (Assuming CD-ROM Drive is d: and you are installing Oracle from CD-ROM)
     a.     Change the Source= line to use the full path to the CD instead of relative path. (i.e. Source=d:\stage\products.jar)
     b.     Change the JRE_Location line to use the full path to the CD instead of relative path. (i.e. JRE_Location=d:\stage\components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\datafiles\expanded)
     c.     Change the OUI_Location line to use the full path to the C drive (where the installer is installed) instead of relative path. (i.e. JRE_Location=c:\stage\components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\datafiles\expanded)
     d.     Change the JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS line to add -nojit as the first argument. (i.e. JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit ms16m ms32m) Other entries should remain same.
     3.     Launch OUI and this will use the modified oraparam.ini file and pick up the information from the CD-ROM. (since the absolute locations are specified)
     4.     Choose the custom install and choose not to create the database during the install. This way, the DBCA will not be launched during installation.
5.     The Net8 Configuration assistant will still be launched and there is no way to suppress it. If you need to kill it due to installer hanging then in the configuration tools window highlight the Net8 Configuration Assistant and click Stop. If this does not work then look for the most recent JRE process using task manager and kill it manually. Note: The OUI itself will also have a jre process. Make sure to kill the only the most recent process.
6.     After killing the configuration tool, continue through the installation to the End of Installation screen. We can modify the configuration tool to use this option nojit.
     7.     Once installation is complete, each of the following files in the ORACLE_HOME needs to be modified:
Each file will contain a command similar to the one following, which should be modified to include the option -nojit.
Eg: Command=(c:\program files\oracle\jre\1.1.7\bin\jrew nojit classpath.
     a.     assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl
     b.     assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl
     c.     assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
     d.     bin\owm.cl
     e.     ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl
     f.     network\tools\netasst.cl
     g.     network\tools\netca.cl
     h.     owm\install\instelogin.cl
     i.     owm\install\instowm.cl
This (-nojit) is the only modification required to enable the configuration tools. After these changes the configuration tools like Net8CA and DBCA can be launched from the start menu.
Note: if your Oracle server is already installed and running but configuration tools are not running then just edit these files mentioned above (from a to i) and then launched configuration tools, they all will work.
Thank you
Amit

How can we set the Default to "New Window" for the "Create Link" – "Specify Open Preference"?

We would like to set the "New Window" as default but can't find where to set it.. I looked through all the Perferences and could not find where this is set.
We see this when creating Links.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Thanks for your reply. We are using Acrobat Pro 10.1.3 on Windows 7 64 bit workstation.
We see this when adding a link in a PDF.
Go to Tools, Content, Link. Highlight something, Creat Link, click Next. Pick somthing to Link too. Like another PDF and the Window in the first screen shot comes up.
I ran a Regshot and here are the results. Looks like all user keys which would be normal but there must be a way to set the default in the Preferences? This does not seem to be a setting that stays if you will so there must be something over-riding it.

I have 2 websites and 1 IP address for my server, how do I set the DNS up?

I am having trouble following the boards and the Server Admin instructions to make sure I can activate a website.
IP address for the Snow Leopard Server on a mac mini
Server Settings for Web has the 2 domain names listed pointing to the same IP address and same port 80.
How do I point the DNS correctly to the domain I want to respond? www.ziggythewinegal.com
If you put the IP address in a browser, it returns the default domain which is just the apache/osx server page. 64.142.85.71
If you put the first domain name in a browswer, it does the same. www.JoelQuigley.com
How do I setup the DNS to www.ziggythewinegal.com which is in the folder WebServer>ziggy>index.php ?

64.142.85.71 has an existing public DNS translation, so you'll be adding DNS CNAME (alias) records for the each of the additional hosts into your public DNS at WorldNIC DNS servers.
Your local host either isn't running DNS, or it's running local DNS. If it's running local DNS, then hopefully it's not running with the same domain name as your public DNS services; that you have an external DNS zone and an internal DNS zone, with an external DNS domain and an internal domain name. If you are running DNS locally and are using the same domain name for internal and external DNS servers, then you'll also need to add the translation for the new web sites into your local DNS server configuration.
Once the translation is added, add - as John Lockwood indicates - Sites into your web server.
The numbers of folders can vary. Different sites may or may not be in the same folder, depending on what you're doing. Multiple ttraditional static HTML web sites are probably stored in separate folders. A single site with several names can be in the same folder. A web content management system (CMS) can be stored in one folder.
If you have a firewall here (and you should), then you may need some additional steps. Particularly if you're running NAT, and don't already have rules and port-forwarding enabled on the server. Given it appears you're using mail with this server, there are likely some rules in place, though you'll need to confirm that port 80 TCP and possibly port 443 TCP are (also) being forwarded for your web services.
Here is a write-up on adding what Apple calls Sites and what Apache calls virtual hosts.

Could you help me to control a DC motor with the parallel port and windows 2000?

I have labview 5.1 and i want to control my application throught the internet

I would recommend upgrading to LabVIEW 7.0 for a couple of reasons. First, LabVIEW 6.1 introduced remote front panels which allows you to control a VI through a web browser. Setting up remote front panels is very simple and that alone is worth the upgrade. As far a using the parallel port you can use VISA to send/receive commands via the parellel port if you are using a motor controller with a parellel interface. If you are talking about using the port on a bit level to control the motor, LabVIEW 7.0 ships which an example of how to do basic digital input output with the parallel port.

Firefox version 7.0.0.4282 overlays the task bars on windows 2000, makes them unreadable.

The "File Edit View Favorites Tools Help" taskbar overlays the other taskbars. I can't find the Address taskbar. Most of the info at the top of the page is garbled because info is displayed on top of other info. This problem seems to be related to the tabs, can I only display the current one?

Ok this did not resolve the issue, I downloaded the Places Maintenance Add on and ran it with all of the options selected, I also verified that this is not a permissions issue and ran chkdsk on the disk.
I am unable to make a backup of the bookmarks it just hangs and never makes the backup, I can't even export them either.
I went to the next step and renamed the places.sqlite file and restarted firefox which did restore my bookmarks from a previous backup but I still can't click on the bookmark menu option without firefox locking up .
How do I resolve this and how do I get my data back in to Sync?
If this file is corrupted does that mean that all of my linked browsers downloaded the same corrupt file from Sync? How do I resolve that, is there anyway to recover my history from any of my other PCs?
All that I did was when I was logged out of sync but want to know how I go about getting the info back in to Sync.
