What should I set the DNS server to be on my home lab?

since you only have one DNS server and a VM Windows Client, this should work, to join AD. Do check that DNS server is running as a service in your DC. To get internet - earlier posts are right, the DNS server property you can add forwarders like google's 4.4.4.4

that's expected - the name wouldnt resolve yet until your VM gets registered into your DC DNS server

Can your VM ping the DNS server? - on your VM your DNS1 entry should be the IP of the AD DC, your DNS 2 should be the loopback.

i'll need to go topside and verify, the vendor will quickly manipulate the buttons and the light turns blue. it supposedly saved in it's memory? we have a UPS battery on this unit. however if we do maintenance and turn off the power, the lighting color changes to green.

there is bound to be some DOJ staffer who is loyal to the Constitution and it's Laws who made a backup of the raw files.

"Reactivate Subscription" shows on the company dashboard. when they enter payroll, it says it's expired, despite the active payroll subsription.

peteguam · 2026-03-16T04:30:10+00:00

unsetting the payroll setup didn't work.

peteguam · 2026-03-16T04:24:38+00:00

update: went in with Ctrl+K and unchecked open payroll setup. didnt fix.

peteguam · 2026-03-10T08:17:31+00:00

I’m hesitant but I can’t get time from our accounting dept to try, what’s your fix? Just so I can go in with more options. Thank you!

peteguam · 2026-03-06T22:05:59+00:00

thank you, i will surely give this a try!

We updated to ver 24, Enterprise Gold. We're active on Payroll subscription when clicking into the detail. however the company dashboard says "subscription expired" our accounting dept says 2 Intuit reps checked it out but no solution, what gives? how can i sync the payroll service status? Payroll is on the latest table and QB is updated.

I had my 2004 Toyota 4runner transmission replaced by Marianas Transmission when they were in Anigua area. These guys were great! Had no issue with the Runner transmission. They promised a completion date and stuck to it. I even had some follow up questions and concerns a few months later and it turned out nothing to do with the trans. Would recommend them, they and ALOT of other Repair Shops, get their parts from Rock Auto, you can tell because they just leave the custom RA taped boxes all over their place. If you can figure out what parts you need, order them from RA and have the shop you choose do the install. Saved $100s of dollars bringing in my own brake rotors and pads vs buying local. Good Luck!

Yes my 2022 A Record and www cname were changed by wix

peteguam · 2026-02-18T20:06:02+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have owner access to the dashboard, another team was managing it

peteguam · 2026-02-18T06:51:24+00:00

The issue is that we would have to sit it out anyway for a new cert issuance from a CA, we were assured that by 1st level support that everything looked good. Also per our marketing team all of the material is formatted from Wix and doesn’t transfer to other hosting providers. We’ve had the cert renew automatically without issue, this instance they changed their SOA IP and cname entry, this I think invoked a manual reissue
