Switching from custom DNS suffix at work to no suffix at home with Access Connections

I have 2 profiles defined in Access Connections: (1) Home, (2) Work. 
At work, I need to have custom DNS suffixes defined to help find certain servers, e.g., development.int and marketing.int.  Notice that the TLD is "int", meaning it only resolves using our company's internal DNS servers.  In the Work profile, I selected the Override TCP/IP settings option and entered the suffixes in the Advanced DNS Settings dialog.
However, at home, I do not have a need for these work related private DNS suffixes, and I don't want the system to try to append these 2 suffixes to the search order. I tried the following Advanced DNS Settings: (1) Use current advanced DNS settings, (2) Use the following advanced DNS settings / Append primary and connection specific DNS suffixes.
When I come home from work, Access Connections automatically connects to the Home profile, detecting my Home WiFi network's SSID. 
However, when I try to login to a server at home, e.g., media_server, using PuTTY, the system tries to connect to media_server.development.int instead of *just* media_server.  I, then, need to go to the TCP/IP settings manually and remove the DNS suffixes.
How would I configure Access Connections so that when I come home from work, it doesn't keep appending the work related custom DNS suffxes?

Could not find what you mentioned above. 
I can go to "Additional Settings" tab, click "Settings" next to Override TCP/IP and DNS settings, click "Add Advanced DNS Settings".
At this point, I have 2 choices: (1) Use current settings, and (2) Use the following advanced DNS settings.
(1) would not work, since "current" would refer to my Work setup that *already* has the DNS suffixes entered in the search order.  If I choose, (2) and just leave it at "Append primary and connection specific DNS suffixes", this DOES NOT remove the existing list of suffixes from the TCP/IP stack configuration.
Other than going into the Windows network adapter configuration UI for TCP/IPv4 and removing the sufixes manually, there is NO other solution at this point in time.
The other solution that you propose of using a script doesn't work in an automated way, as in using it in the "Start an application automatically" setting, since these types of operations require Admin privileges, and I get an "Access denied" error back at the console session that runs my script (pasted below for reference):
noDNSSuffix.cmd
===============
cscript "c:\Users\JohnDoe\Documents\Scripts\noDNSsuffix.vbs"
noDNSSuffix.vbs
===============
strComputer = "."
Set objNicConfig = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2").Get("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")
intSetSuffixes = objNicConfig.SetDNSSuffixSearchOrder([""])
WScript.Echo VbCrLf & "intSetSuffixes: " & intSetSuffixes
It'd be nice if I could ask Access Connections to explicitly REMOVE any DNS suffixes defined.  In doing this, it would need Admin privileges, so you may need to use something else in the ThinkVantage toolset (UACSdk.exe ?) to give it the Admin privileges WITHOUT prompting the user to click the "Yes" button.

    2 New Ipads (Retina and Mini)(New to Apple) How do I share purchased apps, but others have each act independently? Mini is for the Wife the Ipad4? is for me. I want to use mine at work, etc. She's home with the kids. Can we set them up seperate, but share
    --break--
    So we are entirely new to Apple products. I'm an IT guy, but have always been a windows user.
    So the Ipad with Retina Display is to be mine (and will use it at work for notes, organization, etc)
    The MINI is for the wife.
    But, are we allowed and can we.. buy an app and share that app between both devices? IE. Can I buy a copy of Angry Birds for the House and both Ipad's use that single purchase? and if so, can we still run the Ipads seperate other than to share the apps purchased. IE my facebook and email set up on mine and hers on her ipad mini?
    When I finally find a note taking app I like, can I share it on her ipad, without her having all my work files, etc?
    Thanks for helping out the apple noob. Hoping for a great experience, and anticipate droping $100 in apps the first day.. just don't want to do that twice. If this is against the usage policy, thats unfortunate but good to know. (I mean we can share stuff on PC as long as its in the same household)
    thanks again (explanations or links are fine)

    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:

  • Csa 5.2 defining dns suffixes as home nets

    I am struggling to find any documentation that tells me how a system state defined by dns suffix is parsed. If i look in the dns suffix list (ipconfig /all) my local dns suffix for the company is always present, even if i am offline, this is also true at customer sites, they have their primary dns suffix in the list always, no matter where they are. I am wanting to use dns suffix to define an offline/online policy, since ip and mngt center reachable/unreachable is unacceptable, no supported redundant csamc and ip is just useless to define this function. Anybody tried to do policies like this ?

    Hi Jan, it sounds like the machines in question have the DNS suffix appended to the computer name. These will always appear in the suffix search if that's the case.
    Connection-specific or dynamic (DHCP) DNS should work for what you are trying to do.
    I tried it and it seems to work as expected.

  • I just switched from a PC and am installing googlemail on my macbook. it has successfully connected my calendar and contacts. But my mail is not linking. i get a unable to connect to the server message. any ideas wise ones pls

    i have just switched from a PC and installing my googlemail account onto my Macbook pro. I can successfully see my calendar and contacts but my mail will not connect. i get an error message - can not connect to the server. Any ideas please?

    Neil,
    I don't use Apple's Mail client (I use MS Outlook) but setting up your Gmail account should be fairly straightforward. Just make certain that you have your settings correct.
    For your incoming server, be sure to use the "map.gmail.com" server, using SSL, using port "993" (usually the default).
    For your outgoing server, be sure to use the "smtp.gmail.com" server, override the default port and use port "465" and use SSL to connect and make sure that you enter your email address and password to access the SMTP server.
    If you've already set up your account with these settings, you may need to Google "gmail setup apple mail" and find the Google document relating to same.
    Good luck,

  • 802.1x wlan authentication wont work with Access Connections

    Hi - hope someone can help. I have a WLAN configured to use 802.1x authentication using PEAP, passwords and an internal CA.
    I can conect and authenticate a wireless client using the inbuilt windows wireless client; i am unable to connect when i configure Access Connections on the same computer with the same wireless settings. This is really annoying.....
    The version of access connections is 5.21 running on windows XP SP3. Laptop is T61.
    The connection fails as Access connections seems to think that there is no certificate installed on the client; there is and of course this would not have worked with the windows wireless client.
    error message is:
    The identity of the server was rejected. Verify that the correct server name has been specified in the 'Validate Server Certificate' section of the profile.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks.

    did you find any resolution to this?  our mba- mid 2013 deployment is having a very similar problem.  We've gone through loads of troubleshooting and have yet to come to a resolution.  all our mid 2012 mba's are working fine they're 10.7.5/10.8.4 mixed.  console logs don't show much, i'll try the wireless diags tomorrow.  our other 10.8.4 build appears fine on other models of machines.  i've read posts about deleteing the adapters, deleting the system config plists and changing the mtu size, these steps do not work for us.
    we don't have as high a failure rate with our deployment, but 25%-30% of our clients randomly drop connectivity and are unable to reconnect (fluttering wi-fi wave).  when you slect the wifi symbol in the menu bar other wireless networks do not show, the 'looking for networks' fly wheel continues to spin.  ocasionaly on login the yellow jelly bean will appear then disappear before finally timeing out without logging the user in (depsite having mobile accounts enabled).    mostly the problem manifests itself when waking from sleep - the wifi symbol flutters endlessly without connecting.  deleting the 8021x profile and readding it will reenable connectivity.  we've tried new profiels, but to the same end.  i know our certs and systems are fine because previous mac os x builds work fine as do our windows clients.
    any input would be much appreciated.

  • Outlook beehive from customer site - proxy not working

    I'm trying to use outlook beehive from the customer site network. I'm able to connect to the internet from IE but not able to connect to outlook beehive. The proxy is set in IE. It gives the "Invalid server" error on entering the login information for outlook beehive.

    Hi David,
    Thanks for the response. But it is not working.
    Did the following:
    1) navigation: control panel-->Mail-->Oracle connector for Outlook-->Show profiles button-->Beehive-->Properties button-->Oracle beehive extensions for Outlook-->Properties-->More settings
    2) In connections tab unchecked the direct connection to LAN
    3) In proxy button I set the proxy of the customer site (the SSL port is 443)
    4) Gives the invalid server error
    Similarily tried by checking the "direct connection to LAN" button and using the proxy. But does not work.
    Also, I checked in thunderbird by giving the manual proxy but it does not connect to thunderbird oracle email.

  • Switching from Comcast DNS servers solve my slow image loading on WiFi devices?

    I have a Netgear C3700 N600 WiFi Cable Modem. I have two android devices that were being very laggy when I was connecting to my devices 5g connection when loading pictures. There was no packet loss and signal strength was high. The download tests show very high speeds. But anytime I went to Play Store, Facebook, or tried to surf the internet, pages or images would load in very slowly.
    This was happening on both my Android Devices running Android 5.1 and 5.0.1 (Nexus 6 and Galaxy S4). My C3700 allows me to changes the DNS server from the one provided from the cable company (Comcast Xfinity). After setting my modem's DNS to Google DNS servers ( 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 ) my issues were resolved! Now I'm just trying to figure out why this is the case.    Related: http://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Home-Networking-Router-WiFi/Xfinity-Wireless-very-slow-on-mobile-devices-only/td-p/2197456

    You may also want to download Namebench. It is a DNS server benchmarking program that will find the closest and fastest DNS server near you. Google's DNS are good but there are probably better and closer ones out there to you.

  • Switching from custom kernel to the kernel26 package

    I guess I'ma ewbie, so I'm posting here. If this thred fits better in some other forums, just move it.
    I have used a custom kernel a long time, and would like to use the kernel26 package instead with modules and such. I tried to install using pacman, and added the following in lilo.conf:
    image=/boot/vmlinuz26
    label=kernel26
    root=/dev/hda3
    append="devfs=nomount"
    read-only
    I simply copied this from some other kernel I had in lilo.conf. When I tried to start using the kernel26 kernel, it panicked complaining that I needed a "root=..." option or something like that. I checked the wiki but did not find much info about configuring an arch kernel in lilo.conf.
    Is there anyone here that might help me setting up the new kernel?

    The kernel26 package uses initrd. You'll need to add an initrd line to your lilo.conf: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Initrd

  • Imported RAW images badly corrupted, looks like red paint splashed all over the sky.  Photoshop and Iphoto have no problem with the images from my D800E.  Aperture worked fine for me in June with the same camera.  The Nikon software shows no problem.

    I am having a problem importing my images into Aperture 3 from my Nikon D800E.  The images appear as if red paint was splashed across the sky.  The Nikon software used to transfer from the camera does not show this problem and Photoshop 6 is fine with the images exported as jpg from the Nikon software.  Aperature does not even like the jpg images usable by Photoshop.  I am suspecting that Aperture is not correctly using the camera raw file.  Also, the histograms are radically different between the corrupted images and the Photoshop (good) versions.  Aperture worked just fine for me in June with the same camera.  All drivers and software are current as of this posting.  Anyone else out there seen this before??

    Are you sure you do not have Highlight Hot & Cold Areas turned on? (View->Highlight Hot & Cold Areas)?
    The bug in Digital Camera raw only affected Raw images. In your first post you wrote:
    Aperature does not even like the jpg images usable by Photoshop
    If the JPG's have the same problem then it isn't this bug.

  • Switching from Windows XP to Mac OS X Tiger on a home built Desktop PC?

    I was wondering and I cannot seam to find any topics on it so. I want to know if it is possible to take my Desktop I built mainly for Windows and put Mac OS X Tiger on it?
    Desktop Spc's:
    Mother Board: Gigabyte Intel Socket 775
    Processor: Intel P4 3.4 Mega-Hertz
    Front Side Bus: 800 Mega-Hertz
    Hard Drive: 40 Gig SATA
    Ram: 1 Gig
    Video Card: Nvidia 6600GT
    I just want to find out if it is possible. I was reading an artical and found out that the Mac OS X Tiger already has many of the things that the new windows vista has. So I thought that I would ask to see if it is possible. Thank you in advanced.

    There are plenty of topics on this very question which gets asked fairly often depending on your search criteria.
    Short answer is no.
    The OS X license agreement provides for installing and using it on a single Apple branded/labeled computer only.
    The only way to install Tiger on a PC is via a hack of some sort and even if the hack is successful, very little on your PC would be supported and the overall performance would not be worth the trouble.
    > I was reading an artical and found out that the Mac OS X Tiger already has many of the things that the new windows vista has.
    What you read is correct and it took Microsoft 5 years to come up with what amounts to a copy of OS X. I read there are 10 separate/different versions of Vista to choose from? How on earth is the average person (or even the above average person) expected to wade through all that confusing mess?
    Apple is getting ready to launch a new OS X version called Leopard this spring which will place Windows even father behind.
    If you want to run Tiger and Vista, purchase an Intel Mac which gives you the ability to run both operating systems natively on a single computer.

  • Switched from PC to Mac mini, can't open my JPEG pics with iPhoto 5 - HELP!

    Hello all!
    I'd really appreciate any help on this. I have lots of family and "amateur" artsy photos (nature scenes, architecture, etc) that are from a Kodak digital camera in JPEG format. I can open the files with "Preview" but iPhoto won't open them & calls them an unrecognized file type. Any thoughts please!?!?
    Thanks

    I'm suspecting that you're not using iPhoto properly.
    1) Create a temporary folder on the desktop and put the pics there.
    2) Open iPhoto and use the "Import" function to access the photos.

  • Just switched from Qwest DSL to CableOne cable internet and now my mac won't connect to the internet.

    I've spent 2 hours on the phone with CableOne and they can't figure our why my MacPro isn't connecting to the internet through their Arris modem. I can connect to my network and see all my computers... so the ethernet port is working but the internet won't connect. I've tried Safari and Firefox browsers. My PC connects using the same ethernet cord with no problems. I've also tried connecting the computer directly to the modem with no results. And the ethernet port says it's connected and gives me an ip address. I'm out of ideas at this point. Any suggestions?

  • Is a switch from imovie to FCE HD with 10.3.9 OK? Or do I need Tiger?

    OK, finally looking to switch from imovie to FCE, but have reviewed many posts regarding compatibility with Panther vs. Tiger, and I've been through the QT7 upgrade mistake with 10.3.9, and then went back to QT 6.5.2 (this is my first post, as most other imovie problems I have been able to resolve after checking the imovie posts - such as the QT7 issue and purchased iTunes songs not uploading unless burned to a CD first, etc., etc....).
    The FCE 3.5 requirements recommend 10.4.6+ and QT 7.0.4+, but it looks like many FCE users are still with 10.3.9, but maybe they're not using FCE 3.5. Should I try and find an earlier version of FCE and stick with 10.3.9? Any other recommendations or upgrade suggestions based on my current configuration for a "smooth" (not "jaggy" or "jumpy") transition from imovie?

    Ideally if you do serious, processor intensive work, such as video editing, music production or photo-manipulation, you should have a dedicated computer that nobody else touches - especially kids!
    Machines are like animals and wives - they should have only one master!
    I realise that last statement is not considered PC but as we are on a Mac forum, anything that is not PC should be OK.
    Anyway, I'm the master in my own house, when my wife lets me.
    Your machine may benefit from a little spring-cleaning. Open Disk-Utility and "Repair Permissions" on your boot HD and "Repair" all the others.
    Also run the Cron scripts with a free utility like MacJanitor:-
