Wrong name listed under Network Servers

Hi, I know this might be a trivial issue, but I am fairly new to Xserves and recently had to reinstall Mac OS X Server on our Xserve.
Now, for some unknown reason, when I go to _Network > Servers_, it lists the Xserve as "imac-kfallon" which is one of the imacs on our network, instead of "pascal-xserve", which is what the Xserve is called.
When I go to _System Preferences > Sharing_, the name is listed correctly (pascal-xserve). How can I change the name under _Network > Servers_ to the correct one?

I managed to sort it out using the changeip command in the terminal to change the hostname.
Once restarted, the Xserve had the correct name.

Try an SMC reset and PRAM zap.

Setting up a new developer account has wrong name listed in personal information with no option to edit

In the process of setting up a new developer account, getting to step #2 & reviewing the personal information, the first & last name listed for my Apple ID is incorrect, however it is correct on the Apple ID settings page, as well as all of my iTunes billing information.

Hard Drive name listed under Ext. FW drives in Disk Utility?

I've recently upgraded/updated to 10.4.10 and had just gone through cloneing my old panther files/system from one ext. hard drive to another using SuperDuper. I was getting ready to clone my tiger system to another partition on the same drive when I noticed in Disk Utility that the FW drives were listed at the top of the left hand column with the Mac HD underneath them.
I was booted up on the computer at this time and the HD icon was where it was supposed to be in the upper right corner with the FW drive icons below it. Should I be worried? I have repaired permissions on my mac and SMART status says verified.

Thanks for your response! I guess I'm just a little paranoid after having spent almost a week getting up and running again. It's just that I've never seen them listed that way in DU before (and believe me, I've spent a lot of time in DU!). Could it be be because the last interaction was between the firedrives and didn't involve the HD? What would make them change positions?

Wrong name appears under texts

Multiple versions of same computer listed under shared (with a number added)

Hi,
This is not Yosemite specific as I found numerous posts from earlier systems but no solution. I have 4 macs connected to this specific network. For whatever reason after running for months with no issue the iMac is now listed multiple times and a number is added. The previous computers do not work (as shortcuts). When reading up on the problem, this should only happen if there are numerous macs with the same name on the same network. This is not the case the name listed under system prefs -> Sharing is unique. I tried to delete the extra number and restart the system but it never seems to stick. Looking into the Bonjour network I can find these same references. I assume the iMac thinks there is another computer with the same name and thus adds another system. This also carries over to the other computers as it lists the imac multiple times. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Can I delete the bonjour/apple file protocol prefs and as such delete all the systems?
I have turned smb/afp on/off I have renamed the system, restarted it and then going back to the old name to no avail.
Thanks for any ideas,
Philly

There are several possible causes for this behavior.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local". Resolve the name conflict by renaming one or more of them in the Sharing preference pane.
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. If the router is an Apple device, it may need to be restarted.
7. A third-party Bonjour device on the network is malfunctioning. Finding out which is a process of elimination.
8. There is more than one DHCP server on the network. Typically, there would be two or more wireless access points configured to act as routers.
9. See also this support article.

After 10.4 upgrade, I cant connect to network servers, wrong name!?

I upgraded a G4 to 10.4.9 from 10.3.9 and now although I can connect to the internet get mail etc, I cannot access any networked servers or share points.
When I click on connect to server, it brings up the dialogue to input the IP and when I input the IP and click on the connect button nothing happens
If I try using the network icon and go the server that way, it tells me the alias is no longer linked.
I initially tried a number of things including reinstalling the 10.4.9 combi update and then fixing permissions and re binding via terminal...I was interested to see at the prompt instead of "xxmac" it said vigor22, wher and how did it get that?
Following the network icon through, it also seems that the alias for the hard disk instead of macintosh hd is called vigor 33
I really dont understand this....HELP!

Comzept:
I feel your pain. All I can offer is what I found worked for me in my upgrade from 3.9 to 4.9--and the WHY of that is not clear to me. Perhaps it could have been done better by trashing the .plist files that are listed above . . .
But, several things--you have provided little in the way of the details of your situation--what are you trying to connect and what error windows are you getting. So, if it's not exactly like macmend then maybe you should start a new thread/topic and provide more info. And, if you read my post at the linked thread you would see that it took me a long time to piece my personal answer together--depending on who reads your question that may be faster or slower. BUt, don't give up--I did a number of searches in the search discussion bar to the right and followed along to try to find other people who were having the same problem. The answer is probably simple if everything was working right before hand. And that is the question--was everything right before you did the upgrade--did you "repair permissions" and did you perchance "repair disk" using install CD before you did the upgrade? These kind of details can provide more info so that someone can help you with your issue. Good luck.

List all SQL servers on network

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to produce a list of all the SQL servers running on a network and have been looking at the SQLDataSourceEnumerator GetDataSources method. However there is a note saying this may not show all the SQL servers and may return a different list each time it is called. I would be grateful if anyone has anymore information on why this will not always return a complete list and may be different each time or if anyone knows if there is a way I can get a list of SQL servers that is more consistent?
Thanks,
Caroline

Server Name not found on Servers' List

Hi,
I have an installation on SAP B1 8.8 on which the server and 3 of the four clients are operating normally. The fourth client (ran on Windows 7) is not showing the server name on the "Company Select" form. Instead of it it is showing only "(local)". As a result, of course, the list of companies shown below is empty. I tried to re-install but with no good.
Again, the other clients on the network are working fine.
Does anyone have faced similar situation?
Thanks
Gerasimos

hi Gerasimos,
Greetings of the day.
which windows 7? 64 bit or 32 bit?
first of all do a clean uninstall.
delete all SAP folder in c:\program files, c:\common files\business objects.
delete all SAP folders from application data coming under documents and settings for all users, administrators.
delete all temp files under c:\windows, documents and settings\ each user and\or administrators\local settings.
download msicuu2.exe from microsoft.com, install and run it, will clean registry if anything available.
install SAP B1.
then go to LAN adaptor settings, under network settings, under IPV4 and in adapter settings, specify the static IP address if any and in the default gateway specify the IP address of the server.
uncheck IPV6.
start SAP B1
it should work.
let me know.
thanks and regards.

I have just updated my iPad2 with iOS 6.3.1. and now I am unable to access my home network. The Wi-Fi icon in the status bar is not shown.
Under settings, Wi-Fi it shows my network name and under the Wi- Fi menu, chose a Network it shows it is searching for my network by name and continues to run and run without finding the network.
Prior to updating to iOs 6.3.1 my system worked perfectly.
Can anybody help please.

How do i get a list of SQL Servers from network?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get a list of SQL Servers from the network and put them into a drop-down combo box. I try to search on Google and i can only find some C# source codes which doesn't help me at all. I'm wondering if JAVA has the similar method to do so.
btw, I'm using MSSQL Server 2005, JDBC 1.2, JDK 1.6.0_24
thanks

true, but you know as well as I do that requirements documents are usually not written by people with the least understanding on those complexities...
And if a company assigns such a project to someone like OP who clearly doesn't know how to deal with such requirements documents, that only shows their morosity all the more clearly :)
Assuming that I'm able to find a list of TCP connections on network, how do I know which of them are sqlserver?That isn't what I said. A "protocol" is a description of a methodology involving functionality and communication which solves a particular problem.
There is a "protocol" which describes how to find MS SQL Servers. You don't make it up yourself. You find the description, read what it says and implement it.Or more likely (like Oracle) there's no such security problem in MS SQL Server and instead it relies on the client knowing the connection details or it'll never find them.

"xm list" command shows wrong name

Hi,
I have created a virtual machine called "testobi1" using VM Manager. And when I run "xm list" command then it shows the wrong name "50_testobi1"
[root@test01 ~]# xm list
Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s)
*50_testobi1* 1 1024 1 -b---- 0.8
Domain-0 0 543 8 r----- 87.1
Any suggestion on how to correct *50_testobi1* to *"testobi1"*?
I have changed the name line in /OVS/running_pool/50_testobi1/vm.cfg file, restarted whole VM server but no success.
Thank you for your help.

Actually I thought that I would connect to domain by given name in VM Manager. For example: * #xm console testobi1* But now I will have to remember prefix counter information which is auto set. what could be reason for such design?I suspect it's to ensure that all guests always have a unique name, but that's just a guess.
When I try to create domain manually on command line without VM Manager then it created domain name as given and did not prefix counter to it.Correct -- the prefix is created by Oracle VM Manager itself, as it adds the guest to the database. You'll notice that when you import a manually created guest, it will be given a prefix by Oracle VM Manager during the import process.

I bought an album and not all the songs came up listed under the artist name. They came up as separate songs and not as part of an album. How do I fix this?

Hello pjmelli921,
You have to locate the album in itunes. Highlight each track, hold the ctrl button and left click each one.
Do a right-click on the highlighted blue, select get info, say yes to editing multiple tracks.
Hit the options tab, change "part of a compliation" to yes, select ok on the bottom right.
Resync ipod. This should fix it on your ipod after the resync.
Hope this helps.

Windows VPN clients can't use network servers after 10.5.1 upgrade

We have two Xserves, both formerly running 10.4.11. One is the OD master, the other a replica. The replica is also the VPN server, and is a DHCP server for the small number of IP addresses reserved for VPN clients.
The OD master upgrade went fine. I completely reinstalled the OD replica, set the replica up again, and set up the VPN server. It supports L2TP/IPsec connections only.
After the upgrade, Mac users running Tiger or Leopard can connect to the VPN server and connect to network services without any problems. Windows users can connect, but cannot actually USE anything on my office network. For example, if you try to connect to a web server either by fully qualified domain name or by hostname, the connection from the browser simply times out.
In the Windows command line I can verify that I have an active connection by pinging and using the tracert command (equivalent of traceroute on UNIX). Hostname resolution works, too. But nothing happens when you try to open a web browser, which is mostly what my users need to do.
It doesn't matter whether you're logging in with an OD user account or a local account defined solely on the VPN server. Same behavior in Windows.
I had to take an older XServe running 10.4.11 out of our data center, move it to the office, and set it up on the same external network connection. 10.4.11 server works, 10.5.1 doesn't, from the same Windows client, set up exactly the same way.
I've been through the hoops with Apple Enterprise support, who now tell me that Engineering kicked it back to them and told them they'd charge me $695 to get it fixed, because it's ostensibly custom configuration work. If that's true, why is Windows XP listed under L2TP/IPSec support on page 127 of the Leopard Network Services Admin guide? I don't want a custom fix, I just want it to work the way it's supposed to work. Or I want Apple to retract the claim that OS X Server is the best workgroup server solution for Macs and Windows.
Anyone else encounter this problem or know of a fix?

Had the same problems, started after i tried out the firewall in Leopard server.
Seems that not all settings are reset even after turning the firewall off.
To reset the firewall to its default setting:
1 Disconnect the server from the Internet.
2 Restart the server in single-user mode by holding down the Command-s keys during
startup.
3 Remove or rename the address groups file found at /etc/ipfilter/
ipaddressgroups.plist.
4 Remove or rename the ipfw configuration file found at /etc/ipfilter/ipfw.conf.
5 Force-flush the firewall rules by entering the following in Terminal:
$ ipfw -f flush
6 Edit the /etc/hostconfig file and set IPFILTER=-YES-.
7 Complete the startup sequence in the login window by entering exit:
The computer starts up with the default firewall rules and firewall enabled. Use Server
Admin to refine the firewall configuration.
8 Log in to your server’s local administrator account to confirm that the firewall is
restored to its default configuration.
9 Reconnect your host to the Internet.
This solved the problem for me...
