Setting up a new server with a FQDN

Hi all, after some years of my company using an Xserve G5 we are upgrading to a new Intel XServe running 10.5 server, and I am aware for some of the services we will need a fully qualified domain name, but have no idea how to do this. We have a static IP (SDSL) for the server, and our current host will allow changes/additions to the DNS record of our domain name - but changes are unsupported so we are on our own. My intention is to leave the webhosting and email with our current host, and have the XServe supply some services outside (our print suppliers currently connect to our old server through FTP and the static ip address) as well as our internal file serving. Can I simply add an A record to our domain pointing to the static ip? ie myserver.address.com pointing to 217.36.255.255 and then name the new Xserve myserver.address.com?
Thanks for any help!
J

Yes you can. Ideally make also sure that your ISP sets the PTR record for 217.36.255.25 to myserver.address.com

  • Setting up a new office with Mac enviroment

    hey there,
    my orginization want to set up a new office witha Mac enviroment. currently we are working on microsoft desktops and servers hosted localy. so now im at a point where the desktops are not a problem, but the servers are, in addition to that i was asked to look into cloud hosted solutions for the servers .i have no idea what im doing since im a fresh graduate.
    i need to find out how the Mac enviroment works. Whats required from me in order to se up a succesfull mac enviroment enterprise?

    Start here:
    http://www.apple.com/business/mac/
    Then try to find a local business that already uses Macs and beg them to be shown around their setup.
    There's no real difference between using a Mac for home and using one for business except that you will need a bullet-proof network and it might be an idea to dedicate one machine to running OS X Server:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/server/
    depending on how big the business is.
    As for cloud hosting, there's no real difference between Macs and Windows for that: all the big providers provide both.  However, personally I do not trust and would not agree to work with a cloud service for a business yet.  You have no control over things and when it doesn't work you just sit there twiddling your thumbs.

  • SBS2008: Move email from Exchange 2007 to new server with Exchange 2013

    We have an old server (SBS2008) and plan to buy a new server with (Server 2012). I need to move all the exchange emails, contacts & calendars to the new server. We will no longer use the old server. 
    Is there a document or migration tool that will help me understand how to move this data form the old exchange server to the new one? 
    Old Server:
    SBS2008 running Exchange 2007
    New Server:
    Server 2012
    Exchange 2013
    Any help is appreciated!

    Hi Dave,
    It can be done, and as Larry suggested you will consider two Server 2012 installs in order to achieve an environment that looks like your current SBS roles; Exchange 2013 on an Active Directory controller isn't a good long-term solution (SBS did this for
    you in the past).
    For your size operation, a virtual server host, with a Windows Server 2012 license, and two virtual machines would probably be a suitable design model.  In this manner, you have Server 2012 license that permits 1 +2 licenses (one host for virtualization,
    up to 2 Virtual Machines on same host).
    There's no migration tool. That comes with experience and usually trial and error. You earn the skills in this migration path, and for the average SBS support person you should plan on spending 3x (or more) your efforts estimate in hours planning your migration. 
    You can find a recommended migration path at this link to give you an idea of the steps, but its not exactly point by point going to cover you off for an sbs2008 to server 2012 w/exchange 2013 migration.  But the high points are in here. If it looks
    like something you would be comfortable with then you should research more.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/infratalks/archive/2012/09/07/transition-from-small-business-server-to-standard-windows-server.aspx
    Specific around integrating Exchange 2013 into an Exchange 2007 environment, guidance for that can be found here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898582(v=exchg.150).aspx
    If that looks like something beyond your comfort level, then you might consider building a new 2012 server with Exchange 2013 environment out as new, manually export your exchange 2007 mailbox contents (to PST) and then import them into the new mail server,
    and migrate your workstations out of old domain into new domain.  Whether this is more or less work at your workstation count is dependent upon a lot of variables.
    If you have more questions about the process, update the thread and we'll try to assist.
    Hopefully this info answered your original question.

  • Migrating Non ASM, Non RMAN to New Server with ASM and RMAN - Possible?

    We currently have a database ( Oracle 10g R1 ) on a Sun Solaris server that is NOT using ASM or RMAN. The database is about 300GB. We are getting a new server and we want to install Oracle 10g R2 with ASM and RMAN and migrate the database.
    I have seen the documentation on migrating non ASM to an ASM server but the methods all use RMAN. Is it possible to migrate to an ASM database without using RMAN? Would datapump import/export work if I created a new database on the new server with all the same tablespaces? Or, do I have to bite the bullet, install RMAN on the old server and do the backup?
    Thanks.

    If you're not using RMAN that doesn't mean you can't use it to perform a single backup, rman is contained in every oracle RDBMS installation version 10G or higher.
    this is only a sample of how to do it
    RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '<file_system_path>/%U.DBF';
    --first we allocate the channel default channel.
    RMAN>RUN
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL DEFAULTCHANNEL TYPE DISK;
    SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
    STARTUP MOUNT;
    BACKUP DATABASE;
    SHUTDOWN
    }then once you have it, you can do what you want.
    It should also be possible to manually restore the database from the original datafiles but it's better to follow the solution involving RMAN.

    Do I set up 2 new iPads with my daughter's individual apple ids or my apple id which is linked to the iTunes account which we will use on both iPads to allow us to share apps, ebooks etc?

    There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
    Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
    iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
    For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
    All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:

    If you want to migrate your phone to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • Moving DP Content to a New Server With Same Name

    We are currently in the middle of a server OS refresh from 2k8 to 2k12 R2. Some of the servers are DPs so I need to move the content from one server to another. The big problem is that the new server must have the same name.
    I've read this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1ffcaa47-9bf8-476d-965e-28350a6bef1b/move-content-from-old-dp-to-new-dp-at-same-remote-site?forum=configmanagerapps which kind of covers my issue but I presume this person was going to
    a server with a new name.
    Has anyone done this? Is it possible?
    Unless there is something clever the only way I see to do this is to uninstall the DP role from the current server, remove the current server from the domain, add the new server with the same name, re-install the DP role and then re-distribute all the content
    to the new server. I'd rather not do this as the DP is on a remote site so all the content will be going over the WAN.
    I am running SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    >>So can I pre-stage from the old server to the new server or does the pre-staging have to be done from the site server?
    Yes, you could prestage content from the old server to the new server. Prestaged content files could be created from Configuration Manager Administrator Console.
    >>What is the order of the process?
    The following blog could help you to prestage content.

  • Add New Server with Configtool Questions

    Hello All,
    We are running EP7 SP12 on W2K3 with 16GB RAM and 4 CPUs.
    As part of one the Go Live checks done to the system a while back, it was recommended that we increase the number of Server processes to the instance.
    So, I followed the information here (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/68/dcde416fb3c417e10000000a155106/frameset.htm) to add 3 additional servers to the instance.  When I restarted the J2EE engine, it basically sat there in a 'Starting Apps' status.  I waited about 2 hours before I stopped the startup process.  I went back into Configtool and did a 'Remove Server' on the last, Server3, process and restarted J2EE.  This time, everything did start OK, but now I have a few questions I hope someone can answer.
    1.  Is there a limit to the number of Server processes that can exist in a single instance?  If not, what would cause the J2EE servers to essentially hang on startup although they didn't look hung, just extremely slow starting up.
    2.  I thought when you did the initial 'Add Server' it was supposed to create a duplicate Server process.  But, when I check the directory structures of the newly created Server processes, they aren't anywhere close to being the same as the original Server0 process.  For example, we have a custom redirect in place when people logon to the Portal, but this wasn't transferred/copied to the new Server1 or Server2.  The same was true for other customizations.  Also, when looking at the structure, Server0 has approx 80,000 files and 15,000 sub-folders.  When looking at the new Server1 & Server2, they are both different in size in both files and folders in respect to each other and compared to Server0.  Shouldn't they all be the same?
    3.  A follow up to question 2.  If they aren't the same and they are supposed to be the same, can we just copy the missing files & folders from Server0 to the new Servers?
    4.  Lastly, since I did a 'Remove Server' in Configtool for Server3, it does not appear in the MMC when the J2EE engine starts.  This I expect.  But, it did not remove the directory structure for Server3.  If I try to manually delete the Server3 directory, it simply says it is in use and won't let me delete the structure.  So, is it safe to delete this structure since it isn't being used anymore?  If so, I'll stop SAP and delete the structure offline.  Do I have to do any database cleanup once I do this?  If so, can someone point me to some documentation as to what needs to cleaned up in the DB and how?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Thanks for the info.
    Interesting though.  I open a message with SAP and posed these same questions.  Their response was similar to yours, but it opened up a whole new set of questions.  What follows is the text of that message for others to benefit from (clipped for clarity):
    SAP's response to the original set of questions posted here:
    =====================
    ....1.Number of server nodes depends upon the CPU speed.J2EE Engine
    can support upto 21 server nodes in a intance.
    If number of server nodes is big,it will slow down the startup process.
    2.When you create the "New Server"its not the dublicate server.
    Its a new server.You can not copy mising files from one server to other
    J2EE engine syncronises the server nodes in the instance.
    3.Yes.You need to manually delete the file system.Configtool deletes
    the server node from the DB....
    =====================
    To which I replied:
    =====================
    .....2. I thought when you did the initial 'Add Server' it was supposed to
    create a duplicate Server process. But, when I check the directory
    structures of the newly created Server processes, they aren't anywhere
    close to being the same as the original Server0 process. For example,
    we have a custom redirect in place when people logon to the Portal, but
    this wasn't transferred/copied to the new Server1 or Server2. The same
    was true for other customizations. Also, when looking at the structure,
    Server0 has approx 80,000 files and 15,000 sub-folders. When looking at
    the new Server1 & Server2, they are both different in size in both
    files and folders in respect to each other and compared to Server0.
    Shouldn't they all be the same?"
    You replied:
    "2.When you create the "New Server"its not the dublicate server.
    Its a new server.You can not copy mising files from one server to other
    J2EE engine syncronises the server nodes in the instance."
    But, from actual experience, it does NOT synchronize the nodes, rather
    it is a partial synchronization.
    So, are the following staements true:
    -When a new server process is added, ONLY standard SAP delivered files
    & folders are synchronized. True or False?
    -No custom files/folders are synnchronized. True or False?
    -Custom values, whether part of standard SAP deliverables or custom
    deliverables, are NOT synchronized. True or False?
    -Each server node needs to be configured independently. True or False?
    The reason I'm asking such specific questions is because of what we are
    seeing. I'll use the same example from before. We modified the
    index.html file for the Portal in Server0. When we added the new
    server nodes, this index.html file was not synchronized. Instead, the
    default index.html file was created for the new server nodes. That is
    an example at the file level. Here is an example from a configuration
    perspective. In Server0, in the Visual Admin tool, we have a TREX
    server specified in TREX service properties. When the new server nodes
    were created, this setting was NOT transferred. Therefore, TREX didn't
    work until I specifically went back into VA and added the TREX settings
    to the new server nodes. This is a major problem and opens up three
    more questions:
    1.How do we know what settings were transferred vs. those that weren't
    transferred?
    2.Also, if you can't copy missing files/folders from one server to
    another, then how are we supposed to get those files/folders into the
    new server(s)?
    3. Is there a way to do a comparison between the server nodes to see
    what settings are missing?.....

    at the time of next restart......

    NO there is no way.
    2.Also, if you can't copy missing files/folders from one server to

    You need to deploy the appliactions again on the new server.
    3. Is there a way to do a comparison between the server nodes to see
    what settings are missing?
    No there is no way......
    ======================
    So, although I really didn't have the answers I was looking for, I confirmed the message.  It seems ludicrous to me that there is no way of doing a comparison or manual synch between two server nodes.  Also, I can't believe you have to configure each node independently let alone when you do a deployment you now have to deploy to each server individually, of which I haven't found any docs explaining how to do that.  So if someone here has a suggestion I'd appreciate it.  Although at this point, given the fact the server nodes are so out of synch as to make them almost unusable, we might just delete them all and go back to one node, although I don't want to have to do that.
    Thanks,
    Tom

  • HT5621 How do i delete an icloud account and set up a new account with icloud if i dont no the old accounts password

    How do i delete an icloud account to set up a new icloud account if you dont know the old accounts password

    Welcome to the Apple community Amber
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • HT202213 what steps do I need to set up a new pc with my existing itunes library?

    I just purchased a new PC.  I have itunes set up on my old PC.  How can I bring iTunes into my new pc?  Do I need to start with installing/downloading iTunes and then transfer over the libraries?

    Additionally...
    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
