Where do I find "Domain Name Servers"?

I just created my website using iweb '08 and I purchased my personal domain name using godaddy.com. Once I was ready to to let the world see what I had created, I clicked publish and it took a few minutes and once the website was finished uploading I couldn't find it anywhere. I called godaddy and they informed me that I need to the "domain name servers" from Apple. I have no idea what this means and no one can seem to help me. Can anyone help me find where I can get DNS?

This page here explains how set up your domain: http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Domains.html

How to find domain name for the host

I have found the hostname but I am not able to find the domain name , how can I do that?? From the forums I was able to understand why the BSP Application was not displaying but unable to execute the same as I was unaware of the domain name.
Thanks in advance.

Narayani

Hi Narayani,
What about doing something like this?
data: urls type tihttpurls2,wa type IHTTPURLS2, host type string.
call method cl_http_server=>get_extension_info
EXPORTING
extension_class = 'cl_http_ext_bsp'
IMPORTING
urls = urls.
concatenate sy-sysid '.' into host.
translate host to lower case.
loop at urls into wa.
replace host in wa-host with ''.
endloop.
The idea is that you get all the possible URLs and then delete the host part of it. Then you get the domain.

Where to buy a domain name

Hi
Who would be the best website to buy a domain name from to rename my .mac website. I am in the U.K and I want a site that is easy to understand and can move the domain name to my iweb website with ease. Basically a website that isnt complicated because I am not too computer savvy!
thanks
Lou

Are you asking how you can set things up so that somebody that goes to www.yourdomain.com gets to see your site created with iWeb? Do you currently publish to a .mac account? Then your web site will be somewhere like
http://web.mac.com/yourname
Login to your 1&1 account, and find the button that says "Domains". In the "Domains Overview" list should be an entry like
yourname.com External Domain webspace (/www)
That means the web site is currently pointing at a folder called "www" in your 1&1 account. Just change the destination so that it gets forwarded to
http://web.mac.com/yourname
using HTTP forward. That's it.

Updating Exsisting Domain Name Servers Process?

Hi
I have an existing domain set with external name servers. When I originally set up the domain in BC Admin I went for the no mail option and simply updated the A records to point over to BC.
I would now like to updated the Name Servers to point to BC so that all mail is coming through the BC system.
I understand how to do this by updating the DNS records with BC's name servers.
My question is:
Do I also need to log in to BC Admin - Site Settings - Domains and amend any details here?
Do I perhaps have to delete existing Domain info and start again?
Any advice would be very gratefully received
Cheers
Cas

Hi sqlproddba,
Based on your description, we need to verify if you mean that move the servers into new domain. If so, the replication is needed to be reconfigured. And besides the service accounts, logins and proxy accounts, you also need to focus on other things, such
as job owners, SA account, firewall and so on.
Additionally, if you continue to use accounts from the old domain, please make sure that there is trust between new domain and old domain.
For more information, please review the following links:

HT1277 where I can put domain name in exchange server setting?

I am trying to configure my exchange account for my company and it requires to put domain name as well with server name and userid. I dont see any place in configuration to put domain name, please let me know if some one tried this.

Initiately i have the same problem. I figured out, first i have to uncheck "use Autodiscover Service". Enter your company server into external server and change the user name to your nt username. Check on use autodiscover service and let it run. I managed to retrived all my email without enter domain.
You can go to the mail configuration by right click and select edit.

Where do I find Server Name?

I just installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. I started it; it's asking me for the server name. There is actually no server name for this. I am just using this to manipulate a few files that I'll receive via FTP each day. I'm not really
logging into a server, and I can't find the name of this computer. All I have is the IP address. This is a Windows XP machine (not sure if that makes any difference). I looked for the instance name in the Registry; there was nothing.
How can I login, or somehow create a server name?
Thanks all!!
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Domain name/"primary DNS" name/mail host name/mail server name/mx name

Hi,
I have registered my domain name (N.com) with an external dns server and created an MX record (mail.N.com) for it as well. My server sits behind a router and internet traffic is port(80)-forwarded to my server's fixed internal ip address (I can access my webpages from the internet just fine). When I initially setup the server I was asked to give it a "primary DNS name." I naturally assumed that N.com was supposed to be entered here, but that just caused all kinds of problems (though I still do not understand why). So I reinstalled and currently have server.N.com as the primary DNS name of the server (although it shows up in Server Admin and Workgroup Manager as server.local--why is that?)
I have had no luck getting any email from the internet with the default settings in mail services (domain name of N.com and host name of server.N.com). Having no luck with the defaults, I assumed that maybe I needed to change the host name to "mail.N.com" so that it matched the MX record. I also changed the user preferences in Workgroup Manager to receive mail from mail.N.com--but still no luck. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how come none of the Mail Service literature mentions anything about what a mail "host name" is supposed to be? Is it supposed to be the same as the "Mail Server" name that Workgroup Manager asks each user for? and is it the same as the MX record name?
I am just needing some help to connect all these variously named, but undefined, dots.
Also, how come I can access webmail from the internet using www.N.com/webmail but can't do it from any computers within my physical network (I have to use IPaddress/webmail or server.local/webmail)?
Also, should my user email addresses be [email protected] or [email protected] (which is the current default)?
Thanks in advance and good luck!
John

I had been told by a friend that ... regular email coming in from the internet would go through port 80
Unfortunately you were misinformed.
My MX record needs the extra subname (such as "mail") in front of the domain name, right?
Not at all. A MX record for 'N.com' is entirely valid (expected, in fact).
An MX record tells remote mail servers where to send mail for any domain/subdomain. If you think about it, let's say you worked for Apple and you wanted people to be able to send email to [email protected], well then you need an MX record for 'apple.com'.
You can see if you dig MX apple.com that they actually have 9 MX records, but the point still stands.
Now, you might also have MX records for subdomains so that you can have [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. Each of these subdomains would need a separate MX record.
So, in general, for any set of email addresses @[anything.]domain.com you have a MX record telling remote mail servers where to send that mail.
Of course the MX record name is mail.N.com, but I think you are implying that the in the Mail settings of Server Admin where it asks for domain name all I need to put there is the N.com, right?
What I mean is that you need to set the domain name to whatever domain name you expect to receive mail at.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected], then you enter 'N.com'.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected] then you enter 'mail.N.com'.
If you want both forms, enter one in the main domain and add the other(s) in the Advanced -> Hosting -> Local Host Aliases section.
Is there anything in the Mail settings that needs to have the full MX record name (mail.N.com)?
Yes. Either the 'domain name' or the 'Local Host Aliases' needs to contain the same thing as your MX record. That's because the MX record tells remote servers to send mail to this machine, but the machine won't accept the mail unless it is configured to do so.
What is the "host name" supposed to be?
This should be the name that remote servers see when this machine tries to send outgoing mail.
Ideally this should match the reverse DNS of your IP address, that way when it connects to a remote server it says "Hi, I'm $hostname" and the remote server can lookup the machine's IP address and see the same result. This will reduce the problem of remote servers thinking you're sending them spam.
If you only have a single IP address then this probably needs to be something like 'N.com'. If you don't have control over your reverse DNS then you're going to run into a problem.
Also in the user accounts (in Workgroup Manager) what should the "mail server name" be? Is it the host name or the domain name?
Off hand, I don't know.
Also, why are all the default user email addresses [email protected] (the name I gave the server at setup)? Why doesn't the user accounts create [email protected] as the default address?
Presumably because the mail server says it is 'server.N.com' and therefore any accounts on that machine would be [email protected]. Changing the domain name (as above) should fix that.

AD Migration from NT 4.0 using New Domain Name & Unity UM

The customer currently has Unity 3.1(5) UM with Exchange 5.5 in NT 4.0 domain. They will be migrating to AD 2000 during phase 1 of the project, which will be followed by Unity upgrade to 4.0(4) a few weeks afterwards.
During the phase 1, Exchange 2003 will be introduced, but the mailboxes will remain in Exchange 5.5 until phase 2.
Here is the migration path proposed by the customer for the phase 1.
1. Current DNS will be isolated to a W2K server with the new domain defined in the DNS. All servers will point to this DNS server as their primary.
2. A BDC will be setup and then removed from our network.
3. Our PDC will be upgraded to Windows 2000 server. AD will be setup with a new domain of XXX.PRV
4. Service packs will be applied to the server.
5. The AD connector will be installed for Exchange 5.5
6. An additional W2K server will be brought online as a DC and additional global catalog.
I do realize that domain name change is not supported for Unity, but would this have any impact on Unity? Basically, the PDC that will be upgraded to W2K DC will retain old domain name (XXX_NT) as the NetBios name whereas the new DNS domain name will be XXX.PRV.
Since Unity does not need to talk to AD or Exchange 2003 at all until the phase 2, Im thinking this would be okay, but wanted to get some expert opinions on it. Also, the customer has tested some legacy servers in the lab, and they were able to authenticate against the XXX_NT domain name in the new XXX.PRV AD environment.
Phase 2 will consist of the following tasks.
1. Run DB Walker.
2. Back up using DiRT.
3. Extend AD schema.
4. Upgrade Unity to 4.0(4).
5. Disconnect Unity from Exchange 5.5.
6. Upgrade Exchange System Manager on Unity.
7. Re-establish Exchange partner relationship using Exchange 2003.
8. Run DB Walker.
9. Move Exchange 5.5 mailboxes to Exchange 2003.
Thank you bunch!
Han

Your project (from oh so long ago) looks very similar to what I am proposing to do now. I currently run Cisco Unity 4.0.4 SR1 with Exchange 5.5 (Unified Messaging), on an NT4 network. I have recently upgraded my network to Windows 2003 with Active Directory. I am building a new Exchange 2003 server in the new domain but not upgrading Unity 4.0.4--at least, not yet. I am looking to change the Partner Exchange server to point at the new Exchange server. I see no docs that cover such a scenario--only lateral moves (5.5 to 5.5, 2003 to 2003). As long as the ADC is in place, do you think I even have to change the Partner server when my new Exchange server comes online (initially)? How did your project turn out? Did you have to change the process you outlined above?
Thanks for any info!

IWeb & Setting up Personal Domain Name is Brutal

I know I run the risk of getting this post taken down, but I have just spent six hours trying to have my iWeb pages sent to my domain page.
Nothing has been more difficult.
- There was no direction that I needed to get my domain name from another service.
- There was no direction suggestions where to get my domain name. (I finally for one from godaddy.com)
- The CNAME, adjustment, www etc. directions are AWFUL and absolutely no help.
There is so much more to complain about.
I am still hoping that someone can provide a point, by point directions as to how to point my domain name to my iWeb pages.
Nothing has been more difficult in my 25 years with Apple.

I think Apple did a great job, as far as it could. I used to work for a small training company in San Francisco. When I started our the first classes for HTML back in the '90's, we used text editing programs to place the graphics and all other layout. I wasn't very good at visualizing the text to how it would look, so I spent way too much time viewing pages and making corrections or tweaks. I don't type as well as I could, so typo's always killed me. With dial-up services being the norm - graphics optimization was/is key for pages to work well and required learning to use graphics tools like Photoshop 2
Some better text editing tools came out with buttons that worked similar to the Bold, Italic, Underline buttons, but they allowed us to insert the code for graphics, anchors, and links. Too Cool. Saved a lot of typing and typo's.
Then Adobe PageMill brought drag and drop to site design and I quit coding by hand. I understand the code and can fine tune it to what I want, but just grabbing the picture and placing in a table was really easy, and choosing fonts and font sizes from a menu was very nice. Then I upgraded to GoLive because I wanted to do full scale commercial sites, and use all of the other technologies that have sprung up. I would have stayed with GoLive for many more years, but right after I upgraded to GoLive 9, Adobe decided I needed to pay $200 more for a sidegrade to Dreamweaver or lose my investment and support. So I jumped at Dreamweaver with it's learning curve and tutorials, and I'm almost competent with it now after a year.
None of these programs explained how to get a domain name or set up DNS. Meanwhile, the hosting services have evolved, and they all have their own system.
I didn't use any previous version of iWeb because it was a pain to publish to anything but .mac or whatever Apple names it's server and the server has never had enough speed for me. It wasn't until iWeb '09 that I really began to take a look at it for some simple projects that could be put together in an evening, and turned over to a client for them to have fun with.
For what it does, iWeb is fantastic. I've created pages with layers and rich graphics that would have required much more work with any other program I've ever used. The learning curve for iWeb is as simple as opening a page and exploring all the buttons. Of course, you might need to understand why you would need a button, like the poster a couple of days ago, that didn't understand how to link to another page. But you catch on pretty fast.
iWeb will turn out results within a week or two, that would take you several years of study and graphics/site design to master. It has many limitations, so I wouldn't consider it for a commercial site, unless the site is a 'business card' site with show and tell, but not for retail sales, or a very large number of pages.
I'm hoping that iWeb will improve with future versions enough so that some tools for sidewide management like widgets that hold a navigation bar, that you design on your pages, and when you update the navigation bar in the widget, all the pages get updated automatically, or even the ability to change the address for a URL on one page and have it change on every page the link is on. Updates and corrections are not as easy to do with iWeb as other programs.
Still, for 5 or 10 page sites, iWeb templates take care of so many design choices that it is pretty easy to come up with something visually pleasing and informative.
All that being said, no design program has actually helped me understand a particular host's system. They are all different because they run on different versions of software like different versions of Apache or Windows server. Each company considers itself the master of security (by advertisement) and they use many different methods to control their servers and the services they offer.
Sometimes, the easiest way to get started is to go to a company like seanic.net and just sign up for their $3.92/month Linux based server. They even throw in the domain name with the deal. All of these hosting companies provide email services, ftp (some with password protection at no cost), and some provide more advanced services like SQL database, Perl scripting, and CGI-BIN. You don't need to use all of the features at once, and the tech support of a commercial company can get you going pretty quickly.
The tech support can show you where to upload your files, they set up DNS, and handle all of those other chores, so you can concentrate on designing interesting pages with iWeb.
Sorry for the blathering...

Correct domain name on Light weight APS

just converted our first site to LWAP,when I do a show CDP neighbors on a switch the domain name for the APs is
xxxxx.cisco.com I can't find where I configure the domain name in the controller, by the way we are running static addresses on the APs I see if we used DHCP there is a domain name entry
so where do I enter the domain name when using static addresses for APs

I have the same question. Wonder if anyone can explain to me why Cisco does not have an option somewhere (on the AP or controller) to change the domain name. Don't want to use DHCP. So I am stuck with cisco.com??

How to confiture virtual hosts with multiple domain names

hello,
I've read through some of the postings here on virtual hosts, but I thought I'd better solicit advice before I actually try some of the things I've read about.
In a nutshell, I've purchased multiple domain names that I'd like to alias to a new site (currently it is just a subfolder in the main site directory) on my OS 10.3.x server. There is only the one main site configured right now on the box, so I know I need to set up a second "virtual site" pointing to the files in this subfolder to make it function as its own site.
I've dabbled around with the sites settings in the GUI, but I'd probably be most comfortable setting all this up in the httpd.conf by hand if I could. But I'm weary of this because I know it might be better to use the GUI because of OS X Server's flavor of WebObjects and Apache (sigh).
So, I have two main questions:
1) How would I set up this second site using the GUI in server settings? Do I need to first move the subfolder out of the main folder before it can be designated its own site? Or can I just point to it in the GUI? Can I use one of my purchased domain names in the domain field?
2) Currently, I have URL Forwarding set with my multiple domain names, but I'm thinking there might be a better way to do this? For SEO I'd rather use some type of redirect rather than being penalized by search engines for having what looks to be multiple domains pointing to the same site.I'm thinking I should create virtual sites for each domain name I've purchased with a hard redirect back to the main site?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

thank you for your reply.
> You can create each site as a new Site in Server
Admin. When you do this you can choose any
directory on disk as the document root for each
site.This means you can move the sites' folders out of
/Library/WebServer/Documents if you like - you could
create /Library/WebServer/site1,
/Library/WebServer/site2, etc. (or even be outside of
/Library/WebServer if you want).
so, are you are saying that I could designate one site to be
/Library/WebServer/Documents/site1
and another to be
/Library/WebServer/Documents/site1/directory1
even though directory1 is contained within site1's structure? I'm not advancing this as a good idea, necessarily. I'm just wondering if Apache would complain.
> Each site should have the domain name set as per your
registered domains. Apache will need this to
determine the correct site to serve for each
request.
Well, after some additional research I'm thinking I'm missing a critical piece of the puzzle. That being access to the DNS host server that manages the context of my server. I have purchased domain names through an outside registrar that point to my site and I can create virtual hosts on my server, but I don't have the ability to add the new virtual host names into the DNS server that manages my box. If that makes sense. Or maybe I'm missing something?
>
I'm not sure why you're using URL forwarding at all.
Without that piece of information it's impossible to
tell you whether you should continue using them or
not - in general there's no need to use URL
forwarding if you have multiple Virtual Hosts setup,
but it sounds like you have multiple hostnames
pointing to the same content, so your needs may be
different.
I'm using forwarding for the reason I list above. I didn't purchase hosting with the registrar where I purchased my domain names, so they are parked on the registrar's name server with URL forwarding to my server. The DNS server that manages my box resides in a different location and I don't have the ability to add DNS entries pointing to virtual hosts that I want to set up. Am I stuck?

Need to the domain name and computer name in offline mode

Hi,
I can not able to login to the windows system, the password i am using is correct. But im getting error "the login method using is incorrect, please contact network admin". I forgot the domain name i set to login to the system. Now Currently i
dont have the recovery/windows7 disks. I have Unix in my machine as well. so i have mounted the windows7 parition in linux, and trying to find out the computer\domain name. so please suggest which file i need to search to get the details.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
If you want to know more information about domain name, please take a look at the following article.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731265(v=ws.10).aspx
Based on my research, the computer name and domain name are stored in the registry key.
We could find computer name in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName.
And we can find domain name in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Domain.
Have you ever joined a domain?
If yes, please contact the network admin as mentioned.
And we can type Domain name\Username and then password to login.
If you haven’t, we could try to type Computer name\username(.\username) and then the password to login the computer.
