Support for Single Labeled Domain

Question - When will Microsoft stop supporting "Single Label Domains"? Now with Windows Server 8 in the horizon, I would like to know if it will let you upgrade your current AD infrastructure if it is setup as a Single Label Domain.

I'm sorry, but I truly don't know. The reason that I don't know, is I've never tested it or let an AD infrastructure remain as a single label name for this length of time. I've fixed a number of them in the distant past with renames. I'm not aware of anyone
currently with a single label name until I saw this thread.
From what I see, I don't really think so if it hasn't caused any issues up to this point.
Besides, why do you want to bump the levels up? Is there something you are trying to introduce that requires the levels at 2008 R2? If it's DNS based, it may fail anyway due to the single label name, because the basis of the single label name is DNS *thinks*
it's a TLD, such as "COM," "NET," etc. That's why it's problematic. DNS is hierarchal and requires a minimum of a two level domain name.
So if you have a computer, called computer1, and your domain name is DOMAIN. Then the computer's FQDN is computer1.domain. But that looks like a domain name. Make sense?
Anyway, I'm sure you've heard this and read that in my blog. I'm curious ... Will you be planning on renaming your domain?

Single Label domain names

Greetz!
I would like clarification on Single Label Domain names in SP 2013 web applications.
When I set up my A record I can set the Name, FQDN and IP Address. If I leave Name blank it will use whatever is in the FQDN?When I enter the FQDN I should use something like "Company.Local" or "SP.Company.Local" and not "Company"
When I set up my root Web Application, I will use the FQDN that I gave in the A record and I will not leave the ":80" on the end of it.
My intention is to setup a single web application and run HNSCs off the default zone. I will use Windows Authentication with basic Kerberos. I'll have a root site collection but we won't be using it.
Am I thinking straight about avoiding the use of single label domain names?
Thanks!
Love them all...regardless. - Buddha

"Single Label Domain names" has specific meaning and that applies to Active Directory (SLDs are not supported by SharePoint).
You will want to use an FQDN as your Host-Named Site Collections will be present underneath the root domain (e.g. if you create a Web Application using "root.company.com", your sites will be "portal.company.com", "teams.company.com",
as a couple of examples). Your Web Application will be created without a host name (see PowerShell example here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc424952.aspx#section2).
Your "root.company.com", in my example, with be a path-based Site Collection as the "Root" Site Collection, which is required for all SharePoint Web Apps. That is described here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc424952.aspx#section2b.
They use the WFE URL, but I prefer using the FQDN.
Another advantage of using FQDNs + SSL is that you don't have two different URLs for internal and external access, thus SharePoint Alerts will always have the correct URL, etc.

Trusted Forest (Single Label Domain)

We have a forest "Domain1.com with SCCM 2012 R2 installed. This forest has a Trusted relation with another forest "Domain2". "Domain2" is "Single Label Domain"
1) Could I discover computers on "Domain2" Domain??
2) Must I configure "Domain2" Domain as "Disjoint Namespace" ??
3) Must I configure something on "Domain1.com" ?

Hi,
Please make sure the specified account has Read permission to Domain2.
And here is a blog about discover computers in another trusted domain, although it is for SCCM 2007. Hope this could be helpful.

Single Label Domain - Corss Forest trust issue!

Hello There
We have a single label root domain ex: "abc" trying to establish the external trust with the other forest's root domain which is FQDN ex: xyz.com. The trust seems to be working fine from abc to xyz.com however the trust from xyz.com to abc is an
issue.
We are not able to resolve/ping domain abc from xyz.com DC. We are able to ping DCs in abc from xyz.com.
On xyz.com DNS forwarder are pointing to abc DNS server and WINS has been configured to route to abc WINS. Everytime when I ping abc from xyz.com DC its pointing to some unknown IP.
on the xyz.com DC tried setting up the registry key AllowSingleLabelDnsDomain, updated the LMHOSTS and host file with abc domain but still unable to resolve the single label domain. We could not suspect that its an issue with the network as we are able to
ping abc domain DCs from xyz.com
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It’s not recommended to use LMHOSTS file. Instead, we can use conditional forwarders or secondary DNS zones for DNS resolution between the
two forests. Besides, we need to open required ports for building inter-forest trust.
Regarding how to configure name resolution between two forests, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Set up Migration Endpoint to single-label Domain/Forest

I'm in the process of migrating a company from a single-label domain & forest, "domainname," to a new "newdomainname.local" domain & forest. EX2013 single-server installed and working on both domains, including autodiscover. Trust
is set up and works, cross-domain DNS works from both sides. However...
I can create a Migration Endpoint on ex2013.domainname that points to ex2013.newdomainname.local, but when I try to add a mailbox created in newdomainname.local, none are displayed.
I can't create a Migration Endpoint at all on ex2013.newdomainname.local. I get a message that starts, "We couldn't detect your server settings. Please enter them. AutoDiscover failed with a configuration error: The migration service failed to detect
the migration endpoint using the Autodiscover service."
I'm prompted for the FQDN of the other Exchange server. When I enter ex2013.domainname, I get, "Error: The connection to the server 'ex2013.domainname' could not be completed."
Is this expected when one server is on a single-label domain? Is there a way to enable me to use mailbox migration?
TIA

Thank you for your post.
This is a quick note to let you know that we are performing research on this issue

Enh. request: shortcuts support for button labels

Hi Apex team,
it would be nice to enhance shortcuts support for button labels in the next release. There are a lot of standard buttons like 'Cancel', 'Apply Changes', 'Delete', etc. that require translation for each page they appear in global applications.
Thanks.

Hi Arno,
I had a similar issue with trying to create a Nav bar with dynamic content. My solution was to leave all the standard buttons in place and to use setVisible(x) to make them appear or not as required.
BTW have you noticed that rollover behaviour isn't consistant ie works for FIRST/LAST etc but not for FIND/QUERY.

ResourceManager support for single-plural, feminine-masculine cases

Hello,
I am developping a large scale website with support for multiple languages.
I am using the ResourceManager to manage the switch of languages by the user. It works OK, but I have some cases where I cannot find
a proper solution.
I wan to display different strings for plural and single cases. For example:
You have 1 image
You have 3 images
And I want to do it automatically, not through asking in the code:
if (numImages > 1) { display (ResourceManager.getString(locale,images_string_from_properties_file)} else {
display (ResourceManager.getString(locale,image_string_from_properties_file)} .
There is a solution for that using a gnu utility xgetText, where you generate for each msg-string a single and plural versions, but it does not work
well with AS3 (or any other AS), since it is based on C. (it is explained in
http://www.sephiroth.it/phpwiki/index.php?title=Gettext_actionscript3
, but does not cover the problematic issues, and so has no advantage over ResourceManager).
The same issue goes for languages where the feminine and masculine differ - like arabic and hebrew (and probably others).
Has any one dealt with these issues before ?.
Thanks
Elisheva

You'll need different tags for each string in the bundle. If you put your own layer over that, that might be an excellent thing to share with others.

Cisco support for Single Inbox Feature in Exchange 2003 for Unity Connection 8.5

Hi There,
Does Cisco support a Unity Connection 8.5 solution/design with the Single Inbox Feature (for Unified Messaging) configured with Exchange 2003, or does it support the Single Inbox feature on Exchange 2010 only?
Thanks

Thanks Anthony - I just found an updated doco that confirms that.

Setup of endeca servers for single data domain / low traffic

Hello,
We are planning to have a single data domain that will be rebuilt nightly using a scheduled Integrator run. It will be used by, at most, 20 people at a time (more like 1-2 at a time) via EQL calls through one web app server within the same firewall/secret zone.
One or two people may also interact with the domain via Studio. I have 3 servers available. The idea presented so far is to install Endeca Server on servers 1,2, and 3, and to put Studio on 1 and 2, and Integrator on 2 and 3. What is the best configuration to go with as far as clustering and load balancing between the web app server and the three Endeca servers.
Can the EQL queries be simply directed to the server with the leader node. Do I really need a load balancer between the web app server and endeca servers ( like this proposed config.)?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Disclaimer: I don't work for Oracle.
I simply don't think this is true.
1) Oracle has never said this on paper, I think it's something that someone said off-hand once and it seems to have spread like wildfire. Everytime I hear that statement from a partner or a prospect, they can never tell me the origin. It's a popular myth, maybe because it's a round number?
2) Quite simply, in our experience, the number of records is not the right metric in most use cases due to the columnar nature of OEID. The number of assignments is much more of a driving factor than the number of records.
3) Also, given that this rumor has been going around for at least 2 years, even if it were true then, it's not true any longer if you think about how much the software has changed since 2.2.
If you have enough bare-metal hardware (memory, I/O, CPU), I don't foresee 100 million records as a barrier at all. If these 100 million records are each 5000 attributes wide, then you're going to need more hardware than say 100 million records with 15 attributes.

Unity Connection 9.1.2 - MS Exchange 2013 support for Single Mailbox?

Hello,
we are currently running a unity connection system in version 9.1.2TT1.11900 together with single mailbox enabled with our Exchange server in version 2007.
We are now planning to upgrade the exchange server to version 2013. From my understanding Exchange 2013 is supported with CUCN 9.1.2 (see http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/design/guide/9xcucdgx/9xcucdg020.html).
When i go to the configuration screens I cannot choose Exchange 2013 ... Is there a special way to configure this or is 2013 not supported with Unity connection 9.1.2 ?
any hints ?
Michael

Exchange 2013 is supported.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/unified_messaging/guide/9xcucumgx/9xcucumg020.html#17832
If you choose to allow Unity Connection to search for Exchange servers, then you need to select from the following two options:
– Exchange 2007 and/or 2010: Unity Connection can access every mailbox in the Exchange organization consisting of Exchange 2007, Exchange 2010, and Exchange 2013.
– Exchange 2003, 2007 and/or 2010: Unity Connection can access every mailbox in the Exchange organization consisting of Exchange 2003, Exchange 2007, and Exchange 2010. When the Exchange organization includes Exchange 2003 servers, Unity Connection always communicates directly with the Exchange back-end servers, it never communicates with Exchange front-end servers.
The drop down does not state 2013 but it will work fine for 2013..

Technical support for single edition DPS

Hi
I'm hoping somebody can help me. I'm trying to find the answer as to why I keep getting the 'folio missing error' when I try to create my app.
I've already submitted it to apple and it's been approved and appears in the app store. However, I have made a couple of text amends and now can't seem to test the new version or download the distribution zip files to re-submit to apple.
I'm quite up against it in terms of client deadline and I was wondering if somebody can maybe try and help... or is there a technical support number I can call to speak to somebody and hopefully resolve my problem?
I've tried the number on the website but I'm uk based and the number appears to be invalid every time I attempt to call.
A few things that may help:
• I'm on the same computer as the original app was built and submitted, however the indesign files (although in exactly the same location) are saved on our server. Could this cause a problem?
• I have used a single edition serial number, so the delete button is greyed out in the DPS app builder app
• All articles are updated and I have tried launching DPS app builder both independently and from the workflow menu in Indesign but keep getting same error message.
I'd be really grateful if somebody could shed some light on the problem. I'm assuming this is a pretty common problem unless I'm doing something wrong / missing something really obvious??
Looking forward to hopefully getting a reply soon.
Many thanks,
Pete

PCNS Support for 2012 R2 Domain Controllers

Is this supported?
Does anybody have this working today?
Does the functional level of the forest effect anything with FIM?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Joe Stepongzi - Identity Management Consultant ilmXframework.codeplex.com

Release notes for FIM 2010 R2 SP1 only appear to list Windows Server 2012 and Active Directory 2012 for all the components - not 2012 R2
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj863246(v=ws.10).aspx
-> so it is not officially supported, but it works. I have tried it and it would work normally, but it would be considered as supported after patching with "2012 R2 supported patch".
We don't know when such patch would be published.

Resolving Single-Name Domain on DC

So I have a domain lets call it CONTOSO its a single-label domain name.
I can currently join computers to the domain but when you do an NSLOOKUP for the domain it doesn't resolve. Im trying to figure out if theres something wrong with the DNS settings since no client not even the DC can resolve the domain name via NSLOOKUP.
It also doesn't resolve if I add CONTOSO.local.
Is this normal behavior? I am planning a domain migration to corp.contoso.com to get it as a FQDN and I have been unable to setup a trust between them eventhough I gone through setting up secondary zones and conditional forwarders.
I think that there may be an issue with the forest dns records. If I run from the CONTOSO Domain Controller:
nltest /dsgetfti:CONTOSO
Geting forest trust information failed: Status = 1355 0x54b ERROR_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN
But running:
nltest /dsgetdc:CONTOSO
Works properly.
Any thoughts?

Hi Jorge,
Would you please run ipconfig/all
command on the DC, then post out the results for further analyzing?

SCCM 2012 R2 and single lable domain

Hello,
we have a followng case: root forest domain is single label domain such as ABC, it has child domain CORP.ABC. In the technet article just a little information about it, it says what SCCM supports site systems and clients, can we install SCCM in the single
lable domain? Or in the child domain when forest domain is single label domain? Will schema be extended without problems and MP data published?

Extending the schema is independent of the domain being single labled.
SLD restrictions are listed here:
