Outlook Desktop Notification Tool Tip

As some, if not all, of you have experienced, the Outlook notification does not come up if you have set up Rules/Filters to go into folders (vs the Inbox).

In order to turn them back on, the “Display Desktop Alert” action must be explicitly set for a Rule.

Steps to turn this on:

1. Go to Tools->”Rules and Alerts…”

2. Choose the rule you would like to modify and click on Change Rules->”Edit Rule Settings…”

3. Click on the Next button and in the “Select action(s)” step (after Select Condition), scroll down and check on “Display a Desktop Alert”.

I have not spent the time yet on finding out how to turn this attribute on globally or modify all rules to have a certain attribute set so feel free to share if you know or discover how to. For now, I had to set it manually for each rule. :(

Finding the list of Multiple DNS Servers on a Domain

The easiest way to find the list of all the DNS Servers on your Domain (Private) or of a Corporation on the Internet (Public DNS Servers) is to make use of NSLOOKUP Command.

Here is how to proceed:

1. Open the Command Line
2. Type the following: NSLOOKUP and then press Enter.
3. > set type=ns
4. > Type_your_domain_name (i.e. tratra.org)
   Server: Server01.tratra.org
   Address: 192.168.0.1

   tratra.org nameserver = server01.tratra.org
   tratra.org nameserver = server02.tratra.org
   tratra.org nameserver = server03.tratra.org
   tratra.org nameserver = server04.tratra.org
   server01.tratra.org internet address = 192.168.0.1
   server02.tratra.org internet address = 192.168.1.1
   server03.tratra.org internet address = 192.168.2.1
   server04.tratra.org internet address = 192.168.3.1

Hope this helps!
