Two Server names showing up....

Just upgraded to 10.5 as a stanard server. When we browse the network from our Mac Pro's we see two computer names as the server. We see "prepress" and "prepress.domain.com" Why? We never saw "prepress.doamin.com" w/ 10.4. Also when we boot up our PC Windows RIP computer we get the message that there is a duplicate computer name on the network.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I wonder why you are wondering why? Surely only you or whoever installed the server would know why you see two names? When selecting Standard as the Server Mode after the initial install the Server Setup Assistant begins to assist you in setting up and configuring the server based on answers you give it to the questions its asking. Part of this question and answer process is to do with defining the internal DNS Service (as well as other Services) the Server is going to use for itself. It may not have seemed like it at the time but that was what was happening. There would have been a question regarding domain name as well as host/server name. Someone at your site must have keyed in domain.com and prepress without fully realizing the significance.
You are not entirely to blame for inflicting this on yourself. Apple should have made the documentation clearer as well as reigning in the marketing department a little bit.
There are three 'modes' available with Leopard Server: Standard, Workgroup and Advanced.
I assume many people think Standard = Simple and choose that thinking all they want are simple file services, perhaps a bit of Mail and that will do - thank you. You get that but you get DNS thrown in whether you like it or not because without it those other simple things won't work. Workgroup assumes the existence of an internal DNS Service already on the network provided by another Server. This 'mode' is actually quite good in assisting integration into an AD server based environment. The last 'mode' is Advanced. Most people shy away from this thinking that this 'mode' is far too complex and advanced for them. Wrong.
In my opinion Advanced is the easiest as nothing gets configured, apart from a domain, hostname and IP address at the beginning of the installation process. Afterwards It will sit there until you configure and enable a Service. In this mode if all you want is AFP and a few shares that's all you'll get. In Advanced you get to use Server Admin and Workgroup Manager. The 'new' application available for OSX Server - Server Preferences - won't work in Advanced. Its an application specifically designed to work in the other two modes.
As for the PC Problem? Verify first that it does not have the same IP address as your Server. Your Server should have a fixed IP address anyway - apologies if you know this. Right click on My Computer, select Properties and in there you should see the name the PC has been assigned. Change it if its been named the same.

SQLAlwaysOn 2012-Query server name shows NODE name not Cluster name

Hi guys,
I just finished setting up my SQLAlwaysOnLab for our Development team. I'm having an issue understanding the AlwaysOn HA feature.... When I run the "SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS 'Server
Name'" The result show the local server name and not the ClusterName or the Availabilty Group Listener name. We need it to show the actual Cluster name or AG Listner game. Our 2008 r2 2005 clustering we have a shared storage cluster
and we setup the config services and application, so when i run a query in that environment it shows "NTS-PROD"(not the clustername). Which is what we want.. Thanks for any input at all! My dev config below:
CLustername=ADM034SQLC050
3 nodes in the cluster bellow: ADM034SQL051, ADM034SQL052, ADM034SQL053

Hello,
Edwin is correct, this is the expected and correct behavior as it's returning the current server that it is executing on.
What you could do is create a function that could be executed to return the value you want inside of the databases involved in the AGs. That would give you what you want, but the built in functions are working correctly.
Edit:
I wanted to expand on what I wrote and qualify it a little more so that it adds some extra information and understanding.
With a clustered instance, the servername will come back with the clustered instance name. This is because when using clustering, the resource for this is setup both at the SQL Server level (by choosing setup as a clustered instance) and at a windows level
(resources in the cluster). In a cluster, each instance has a VCO (virtual computer object) created for it in AD and that is actually what is used, so servername comes back with the VCO as we would expect.
This differs with AGs. AG instances are locally installed instances and they can be connected to without using a listener (in fact a listener isn't even needed for AGs). Listeners exist ONLY at the windows level as a resource, there is no VCO associated
with a listener or any other AG resource. Each instance can be connected to just like you would any other stand alone instance. In this situation SERVERNAME returns the name of the server that it is currently on as there is nothing special about these servers.
The clustering is only done at the windows layer and SQL Server installation are simply stand alone.

Server Name showing in public NS Records

How do I hide the internal (default) nameserver from showing in public searches? This server is going to be used internally for user management and backup but I'd like to be able to host public websites as well..
Here's whats showing: http://screencast.com/t/vh3myvKkF
Here's my current setup: http://screencast.com/t/QcmFg9Vi0
I've tried deleting the default NS from the zone but it keeps coming back.. How can I let the server control the DNS for the addon domains without exposing the default NS to the public??
I've been trying for 2 days to fix it so help is much appreciated!

Hi,
We can edit the default NS record. Replace the real name server with "ns1.jcoffice.net." and "ns2.jcoffice.net.".
Then create the A record of "ns1.jcoffice.net." and "ns2.jcoffice.net.".
I have test it in my lab server, it works properly. Here is the screenshot of my lab server,
Best Regards.

I now have two user names showing at times. I did not enter the second one. What does this mean and how do I delete the unwanted one?

I don't have any details. It just showed up.

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
#click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
#highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key<br>do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
#press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

Finding LDAP server names by DNS lookup.

Hi,
I'm very new with JNDI and DNS
We are hardcoding the ldap server name in our configuration to connect to the Active directory, but the requirement is to know the ldap server name dynmaically by querying the DNS server.
The input given to us are below.
Dns domain : indbank.is.
SRV RRecord : ldap.tcp.
Query dns : ldap.tcp.indbank.is.
The domain controller should be found by a DNS lookup for the domain, then a DNS for Domain controllers that advertise the service, then try to see if the domain controllers areanswering, and if so choose the one with the fastest answer time (to avoid choosing a domain controller over WAN).
Kindly help me.I am beginner and some code sample and tip will be welcome. :)
Thanks in advance.
Hiubert

Thanks a lot to All.
My code is as follows...
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.naming.directory.*;
import java.util.*;
public class dns1
     public static void main(String[] args)     {
          try {
               Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
               env.put("java.naming.factory.initial","com.sun.jndi.dns.DnsContextFactory");
               env.put("java.naming.provider.url", "dns://indbank.is");
               DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
               System.out.println("Intial context created...");
               Attributes attrs = ctx.getAttributes("_ldap._tcp.indbank.is",new String[] {"SRV"});
               System.out.println("Attributes are been retrieved...");
               for (NamingEnumeration ae = attrs.getAll();ae.hasMoreElements();)
                    Attribute attr = (Attribute)ae.next();
                    String attrId = attr.getID();
                    System.out.println("Attribute ID retrieved is" + attrId);
                    for (Enumeration vals = attr.getAll();vals.hasMoreElements(); System.out.println(attrId + ": " + vals.nextElement()));
               ctx.close();
          catch(Exception e)
               System.err.println("Problem querying DNS: " + e);
               e.printStackTrace();
The code runs fine and I get the output as follows
0 100 389 ib500ad1.indbank.in
0 100 389 ib500ad2.indbank.in
I have following questions
1) Do these servers which are returned are the domain controllers or the ldap servers.?(or both domaincontrollers and ldap server are same)
2) how to extract the server name alone from this string.
3) If these two server names are domain controllers then how can I query for a DNS for Domain controllers that advertise the service, then try to see if the domain controllers are answering, and if so choose the one with the fastest answer time (to avoid choosing a domain controller over WAN).
Thanks in advance.

hi,
I have changed the listener hostname....before changing the host name also tnsoping database server name works fine....
i am posting the tnsnames.ora of databse server
RBTT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP) (HOST=application server_name) (PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER=DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = RBTT)
tnsnames.ora for application server
RBTT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP) (HOST=database server name) (PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER=DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = RBTT)
is this is the right one..
and regarding this connectivity between two servers tnsnames.ora and listener.ora plays a vital role....should i have to make any changes in sqlnet.ora in both application server and database server...should i have to copy sqlnet.ora,listener.ora in application server...and what has to be set in both???
I have changed sqlnet.ora in database server in names.directory_path=tnsnames.ora
thanks in advance,

Server name not showing up in Chooser

mac OS 10.1.3 server. The server name is not showing up in the Chooser,. I can get to it by typing in the IP address, but this is a pain for my teachers.
It showed up for a long time, but now it will not show up.
Any ideas?

Apple talk is on the server and the clients. I also have another server that is connected to the same switch and it can be seen in the chooser. So I do not think it is a config problem with the switches or hubs. I have not changed anything (that I know of). I have researched this and can not find anything on it.

When connecting to website using sso, packet sniffing shows ntlm user is using {server name}\{user name} instead of {domain name}\{user name}

I moved to windows 7 and firefox 12 and my internal website via the servername (not FQN) is now prompting me for the username and password in firefox. I do not get prompted for a username and password when using IE9 to access the site via servername (not FQN).
packet sniffing shows IE9 is using my windows domain as the windows domain. packet sniffing shows Firefox is using the web servers servername as the domain.
If I use the fully qualified server name then firefox authenticates successfully. this is not a problem on my winxp workstation with firefox 12.

The only time it fails is in windows 7 and the address used of HTTP://servername. I updated the above post to show it works in XP with ff12.
There is no proxy server involved.
I am logged into the domain.
If I use the fully qualified servername as the address it works. Http://servername.domain.local

Last night i downloaded two t.v. shows and it took over 8 hours. Is there a problem witht the apple server?

Last night it took 8 hours to download two t.v. show, and today it says it will take 8 hours to download the lastest upgrade to ITunes. Is there a problem with the apple server? I am not having problems downloading from any other web site and i have excellent wireless strength and a very fast download servive from Verizon.

Are you going over Wi-Fi or do you have an ethernet cable plugged in to the ATV? If ethernet, unplug it and reconnect the ATV using Wi-Fi and re-run the update. There is a known bug regarding updating the ATV with ethernet, using Wi-Fi fixes it. I had this problem on my brand new ATV and after searching the web I found this resolution, and it worked. After the update (which took about 20 minutes total) the ATV rebooted itself, I then shut it down, reconnected with my ethernet cable, and now all is well.

One contact showing up as two separate names

I have a few contacts in my phone showing up with two separate names. For instance, I have my job listed as 'work' in my phone, but when I call that number or receive a call from that number it shows up on the screen as "Work or Mary".
Also, I had my home number listed as 'Home'. My sibling changed the contact name to 'Birthgivers' and now when I get a call from this number it shows up as 'Birthgivers or Home'.
As far as I can tell the contact only has one name listed. I have edited it several times and am still having this problem.

Same thing here, after hours of playing with it:
One audio book had a box checked "Part of a compilation" and the other one did not.
You'll have to right click each file in the "separate" book one at a time (highlighting more than track one will not reveal the option you're looking for).
Go to "Get info"
Go to the "Info" tab
Check the box that reads "Part of a compilation" (if it's already checked then it's the other book which you'll need to go through each track and check this box)
Also as stated above author and disc name must be the same on all (which can be done all at once).
Voila, all reads as one book now.

I have two iPods that show up with the same name on my iTunes account. How do I separate them?

I have two iPods that show up with the same name on my iTunes account. How do I correct so that I can put different music on each ipod?

I figured it out. Thanks.

SCOM 2012 reports do not show object or server name

When running any performance reports (I have tested OS, SQL, and generic reports) the object is not listed in the report and the only why to tell which object the counter is from is to drill open the Instance. However, this does not work on scheduled and
delivered reports.
Has anyone noticed this or am I crazy? If so, how did you get around it? I was thinking if I can get the RDL for the report I can create my own with the object name.
Thanks,
John

CU4 for SP1 is out http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2879276
I haven't seen any reports from anyone who has actually installed it to see whether it introduces any problems or whether the fixes work in a real-world environment.
the notes include:
"Issue 5
By default, when a generic performance report is exported, the object information (such as server name, disk label, and so on) is collapsed, and the information is missing."
So it looks like the fix is in.

One account and two user names??? HOW??

Hi,
First of all, I own 5 Macs in my company, from iMac 24" to Macmini, the entire line. Use Macs since Classic model, so I'm not totally dumb... or may be I am
It started with a problem syncing iCal and Contacts. The database files became corrupted. Checked the logs and it seemed an permissions problem. try to fixed but the problem returned.
Of course I deleted iCal and contact files at Library, create new one and imported from backup - the same problem happened.
Then I started to dig the problema and when I looked at my keychains I found that I have two user names "sharing" the same user account...how?? one is marcio and other is Marcio Esteves.
I can't find any reference to this second user name apart from keychain. Tryied to delete the keychain and create a new one but the same... When trying to fix the keychain it show me this:
Verification started
Checking keychain configuration for marcio (user ID=502)
Home directory is /Users/marcio
Checked login keychain
Checked default keychain
Checked contents of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
No problems found
Verification completed
Verification started
Checking keychain configuration for Marcio Esteves (user ID=502)
Home directory is /Users/marcio
Checked login keychain
Checked default keychain
Checked contents of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
No problems found
Verification completed
Of course I can format the HD and re-install from the scratch but I'm curious because, as far as I know, user names and accounts can not be duplicated.
The only thing that occurs to me is when I bought this machine - MB pro 2.4 - I imported the account from my previous MB pro AFTER change user name from "marcio" to "Marcio Esteves", keeping the same home directory name as "marcio" (as still today).
So, how can I fix it without formatting and installing everything again??

Every account on a Mac has two names. These names are called different things depending on the version of the OS and whether you are looking at the System Preferences|Accounts panel or the Workgroup Manager on a server. The "Name" or "Full Name" and the "Short Name" or "Account Name". The short name is the typical unix username. and the full name is just that, your full name. The Mac allows you to use either of these in any of the GUI dialog boxes that ask for your user name and password. At the command line I think you can only use your short name. I see that in OS X 10.6, once you create an account, you cannot see the short name in the System Preferences|Accounts panel any longer.
At a command line (in the Terminal application for example) you can type id or whoami to see your short name.
I think it is probably normal for entries in your keychain to refer to both or either of these names.
As for creating new accounts and copying files I think you should be able to do most of that when logged in as an admin user (which you don't normally do, right?).
Does that help?

Yosemite 10.10.2 server app. FTP help. I have a program running in my local server enviroment that wants to FTP to my mac folder. It asks for the server , name, password, port and path. what are they?

So I have set up a localhost area in my Mac. I have the new server.app and I am running yosemite 10.10.2 .
I have a program running in my local server enviroment that wants to FTP to my mac .
It asks for the server , name, password, port and path. what are they?
I am pretty certain that the Serveris "localhost",
Name is my macs name (like my-mac-min)
password is "my login password"
and they suggest port 21.
But what is the file path, lets just say my site is set up http://localhost/siteftp and is actually at my Users/Sites/siteftp folder.
Why cant this program connect to the mac.
Is it because they are both operating in the same localhost enviroment,
could it be my folder permissions are not correct on siteftp folder?
Help please !

I tried turning the computer off and then back on. The alerts don't show the notice to update as resolved. Hopefully this is not a problem or an indicator or another problem. Should I ignore or reload 10.10.1 from the app store to trigger a resolved check in a green circle?
Interesting that I had to buy server software after my free Yosemite download. I would have hoped that the two pieces of software would have gone together without any complication. It is not positive to end up buying a problem. Ah well, time to move on.
