i have joined the domain its ok working my domain controller is my dns server as well now form the client computer when i open the google  it works my question is this ....how the query of google.com is resolved as i have a local dns server and in forward
zone its not mentioned what is ip address of google.....is it automatically referred to any other dns server or how its worksss.......??
Thanks

Hello,
Explanation of LutzMH about your first question was absloutly complete. It is a choice that administrators make to avoid collision between your local DNS server and global DNS servers. 
About your second question I would like to recommend you to take a look at the Name Resolution process. But in a nutshell it is a hierarchy form. When you enter the website in your browsers it first check the local DNS servers and then move along to the
global DNS servers to find the appropriate record. It is worth mentioning that in Name Resolution process, DNS caches plays a key roles as well. For more information about Name Resolution process refer to the link below:

  • No windows identity for Domain Name\User

    I have recently upgraded SharePoint 2013 farm from RTM to SP1. I am repeatedly getting errors  No windows
    identity for Domain Name\User in ULS log. Some users who was earlier able to access to site is not able to access site. 
    Please remember to mark the replies as answers or vote as helpful if they help.

    Few questions to quickly check with you..
    1. Have you re-run your SharePoint Configuration Wizard after you upgraded from RTM to SP1? Its very important to re-run SharePoint Configuration Wizard to ensure SharePoint Config DB is updated with latest changes in the farm.
    2. If you have performed the above step but still face issues, have you restarted your SharePoint Server after re-running your SharePoint Configuration Wizard? If not please restart the server.
    3. If not anyone of the above, then have you changed your authentication type for your web application in Central Admin. Example, from Classic Authentication to Claim Based Authentication?

  • What's a "Previous local iDisk for a (name).sparsebundle?

    I see this file called "Previous local iDisk..." and other references to "sparsebundle". In several cases it takes up many gigs on the harddrive. Can I safely delete these files? Are they related to my iDisk and therefore will refresh themselves in the future based on the cloud? Thanks, Craig

    At some point you had an iDisk mirrored on your hard drive. You must have turned off the mirroring but never removed the old sparsebundle. Assuming you no longer require it then you can safely remove it.

  • Good registrar for domain names

What companies have other Mac uses had great success with the hosting of their iWeb site in conjunction with their mobileme account?
    Thanks.

    Two that are well thought of around here are HostExcellence and GoDaddy. Both offer good packages on hosting and domain names.

  • Changing MobileMe Accounts for Domain Name

    Need some verification on this procedure before I mess up my web page.
    I have a Web site Domain Name with GoDaddy using my son's Mobileme account. I want to change the Domain name to my mobileme account.
    My plan is to remove the domain name on my son's Personal Domain and then adding it to my Personal Domain on my Mobileme Account.
    Is this all I have to do? No changes to the GoDaddy account?

    I completed the switch from one MM account to the other with no problem. Just removed the site from one & added it to the other & everything worked great.

  • Reverse Proxy issue for domain name

    Hi All,
    We are in process of implementing reverse proxy to the SAP Portal and web dispatcher.
    We given all rewrite rules accordingly, The public IP also resolves the domain name also.
    Our domain is etender-aai.aero.
    When we given rewrite rule with the public IP reverse proxy is working fine.
    But when we given etender-aai.aero in rewrite rule its not working.
    Please help me in this.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sreekanth

    Hi,
    If you want help, you'll have to explain clearly what is your configuration and what you want to achieve.
    I'm sorry to tell you that I absolutely did not nderstand anything about your problem....
    Do you try to publish your SAP Portal externally on the internet ?
    Do you use the web dispatcher as a reverse proxy ? or do you add an other reverse proxy (like Apache) in front of the web dispatcher ?
    Regards,
    Olivier

  • Whitelist for domain names (send and receive)

    We have this constant issue where our mail server gets loaded up with emails to and from domains that our in no way connected with ours.
    Our external firewall prevents these from going out, but they still remain in the Mail Queue. Is there any way to make a white list so that our domain names need to be included in either the sender OR the receiver and then just delete any other SMTP attempts?
    Thanks!
    Bonus Question. Is there a program I can install on the server that can tell me what IP addresses are sending those emails?

    You're potentially running an open relay, and (if that's the case) you'll want to address that.
    The open relay can arise via misconfigured mail server, or via a web vulnerability in some web services thing (content management system, etc) you're running.
    It's also possible that the server is correctly configured, and that there's an infected client box operating behind your mail server within your domain, or that's external but authorized to use your mail server.
    And the unauthorized variation: being a breached password.
    You'll want to secure the mail server first and foremost; filtering the outbound domain in the messages won't be particularly reliable, as these folks will just send from your domain and leave you to a: get your mail server blacklisted and b: deal with the backscatter.

  • How to install a local (not global) extension for firefox as part of a desktop setup program.

    Hey Folks,
    I am working on a desktop application and as part of that applications install, if we detect that firefox is installed, we want to install an extension we wrote. For the firefox upgrade urls to work in the future we seem to need to install the plugin as a local plugin. Therefore the following does not work:
    firefox.exe -install-global-extension extension.xpi
    My question is, what is the correct way to install this plugin as a local extension for the current user?
    If this is not possible and we have to install our plugin as a global extension as show above, we run in to the following problem.
    1. Let's say firefox 3.6 is installed and we install our extension as a global extension, it works fine
    2. Now, The user updates to firefox 4, it detects our plugin needs an update to work with firefox 4
    3. The firefox update code runs into an error when trying to update the global extension. We get a very generic error saying there was a problem updating the addin.
    I should also note that for reasons not important to this thread we have to host the extension on our own servers and not as part of mozilla.

    The command line switch -install-global-extension is no longer supported in Firefox 4.

  • DNS server returns IP addresses even for domain na...

    Like a number of other people I have been looking at the BT Broadband service and have found that there is an issue with the current DNS server. What I / we have found is that the DNS server returns IP addresses even for domain names which should not resolve. See following -
    DNS results wildcarding (?): Warning
    Your ISP's DNS server returns IP addresses even for domain names which should not resolve. Instead of an error, the DNS server returns an address of 92.242.132.15, which resolves to unallocated.barefruit.co.uk.
    There are several possible explanations for this behavior. The most likely cause is that the ISP is attempting to profit from customer's typos by presenting advertisements in response to bad requests, but it could also be due to an error or misconfiguration in the DNS server.
    The big problem with this behavior is that it can potentially break any network application which relies on DNS properly returning an error when a name does not exist.
    The following lists your DNS server's behavior in more detail.
    www.{random}.com is mapped to 92.242.132.15.
    www.{random}.org is mapped to 92.242.132.15.
    fubar.{random}.com is mapped to 92.242.132.15.
    www.yahoo.cmo [sic] is mapped to 92.242.132.15.
    nxdomain.{random}.netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu is mapped to 92.242.132.15.
    Moderators could you please investigate this for us.

    BT use a Barefruit (which your post seems to suggest) service called 'Error Resolution'.
    http://www.barefruit.com/background/error_resoluti​on.php
    Any DNS that can not get resolved goes via this service and returns a page showing paid adverts and/or links related to what they think you were looking for.
    BT refer to this as 'BT Web Address Help' and can be turned off on an opt-out basis via this link: http://preferences.webaddresshelp.bt.com/selfcare/
    I assume BT's view is this helps improve the user experience and provides some directed help instead of a blank error page.

  • I formated my i phone 3 g and when it loaded back up and asked me to choose language local and wi fi connection everything went fine but when i hit next it said my i pod can not be activated  why  and how can i fix this i bought it for my daughter for x m

    i formated my i phone 3 g and when it loaded back up and asked me to choose language local and wi fi connection everything went fine but when i hit next it said my i pod can not be activated  why  and how can i fix this i bought it for my daughter for x mas and that is tomorrow

    AdaS_VZW,
    I'm not sure if the area has been surveyed; it's a large group of apartment buildings about a within a couple miles of Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia, so I would imagine that it probably has, but I'm not sure. How would I find out?
    I understand that the Network Extender does not support LTE connections (I know there are two models, the 1x-only and 3g, both made by Samsung - I have the 3g model, SCS-2U01). I know that it can support a 3G data connection, but that should be irrelevant - I'm always connected to my wifi network in my apartment.
    What's particularly vexing, however, is that both a Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Nexus in my apartment (the other lines on my account) do not seem to have this issue. While I haven't done so with the S4, the Nexus exhibits this problem when my SIM is in it - and again, this is a fresh SIM from just a few weeks ago.
    I'm currently trying to disable Mobile Data when in the apartment to see if that will make it more stable. I'll post in a day or two with results from that.

  • Choose local port for an URLConnection

    I wondering when you make an URLConnection which local port is used. I think it's choosen randomly by the OS but I'm not sure. If it's the case, I could have a serious problem with a firewall. I know that you can create a Socket with choosing the local port you want to bind for the communication, but you don't have directly access to it with an URLConnection.

    Source port numbers for ip-based protocols are generally of the ephemeral variety. It is normal for a firewall to be configured to support any source port from some set of ip address ranges to gain access to specific ports on some set of ip address ranges on the the destination side. Your use of URLConnection will behave just as any browser would.

  • Saving to normal.dot in Word for Mac

    Hi!
    I don't know if this question belongs here but I couldn't seem to find any other forum for it.
    So... how do I save to normal.dot in Word for Mac? I can't find the normal.dot template.
    Hope someone can hekp - thanks

    The only difference is that changing Normal.dot applies it to newly created documents. Come to think of it, I bet Word saves a 'snapshot' of the Normal template at the time the document is first saved, so when you're applying the Normal style, you're just reapplying the original normal associated with that document, not the modified Normal template.
    Instead of saving a new Normal template, did you try modifying the Normal style using Format > Style, selecting Normal, clicking Modify and making the changes you want with the Add to Template and Automatically Update boxes checked? I suspect you would still need to reapply the Normal style to previously saved documents.
    Also, under Tools Menu > Templates and Add-Ins there is an Automatically Update Document Styles checkbox under the Normal template. Checking this may cause Word to reapply the Normal style to old documents, but then again, maybe not...

  • Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

    Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

    Well, it's probably one of two things: either the awesome dude(tte) who developed this awesome extension was tired of updating or the changes in FFox software architecture carried out between version 3.x and 4+ created challenges that were too difficult for him to surmount or a combination of both. Honestly, I love Mozilla but I think they dropped the ball on the throttle issue. It's such an obvious and necessary function and it's so easy to implement. They should have included it a long time ago as in built feature. And, if you are browsing and looking at this post and you agree. Add a suggestion in mozilla.org. The more of us asking for this function, the better.
    Meanwhile, I have the following solution for you:
    Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (DIY Version of my Solution ):
    Setting Up a Separate Portable Firefox 3.6.x that runs independently of and simultaneously to your latest version of Firefox
    Get FireFox Portable 3.6.24:
    http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
    It's a portable app, meaning that it's got all it's profiles and preference and application files in the same directory. It won't compete with your current installation of Firefox, has it's own separate extension folder etc...
    Get Firefox Throttle 1.1.6
    http://firefox-throttle.en.softonic.com/ (I couldn't find it in the official mozilla site)
    It will be flagged as incompatible with even that old version of firefox (but it isn't). You just need to turn off compatibility checking. You can do that with this extension:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/?src=search
    If you have Bookmarks you want to port to the portable (bad pun intend), backup them up to bookmarks.json file on your desktop and import them to the portable version. You can export/import more stuff using FEBE addon but that's a whole world of headaches if you don't your doing.
    Many of your extensions favourites extensions will no longer work on FFox 3.6.x but if, in that same addon's page, you look around until you find a link to previous versions of the addon, you will notice that the compatibility info is right below the version numbers. Just download and install the latest version that is compatible with you 3.6.x....
    Voila mon ami! Your FFox 3.6 portable has just become your own private Download Mule whom you can throttle to your hearts content (ever throttle a real Mule??? I wouldn't try it, personally...) Do your regular browsing in another (unthrottled) browser and do your big downloads in the Mule...
    If you want to keep using your brand spanking new Firefox for other types of browsing while using this portable Mule edition for the downloads, just add -p -no-remote to the shortcut leading to your Firefox Portable Mule edition.
    For example, my taskbar shortcut to my Firefox Portable is:
    ""C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe"
    I just changed it to:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote
    This will make it occupy it's own independent instance and I can use the both my Firefox Nightly and the Firefox Portable editions at the same time (each one, using a different profile ie. extensions, cookies, password, cache etc).
    If you're on Linux, you can just run this on Wine and set the Windows Version to Windows 2000 in the Wine config,

    Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (Non-DIY Version of my Solution):
    Download my preconfigured but SWAGGED-THE-HECK-UP PortableFirefox 3.6
    Having realized that some of you may find the above to be daunting. I took my own customize firefox portable, took out all my data and compressed the folder (it's portable, so it'll run as soon as you unzip it).
    Here is a screenshot:
    http://www.mediafire.com/?o95nkwo8y6q535j
    Here is the download link:
    http://www.mediafire.com/?xdw87ivf3184u2s
    Don't forget to modify your Start/Taskbar shortcuts:
    "C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe"
    I just changed it to:
    "C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote
