Making Bulk Changes

[Slater]

After the Nominet changes my domains have around a dozen different account ID's associated with them.

I've never used the Bulk command before and have tried to change all the domains onto a single account-id, the PGP signed email I'm sending to [email protected] with the correct subject.

dry run:
update: account-id = 'xxxxxxx'

Where xxxxxx is the account-id I want to move all my domains to, want to try a dry run 1st. I keep getting the message back.

V109 Invalid bulk operation.

Help, what am I doing wrong.

Thanks

Mark.

I'm also using bulk for the first time, but that message is basically saying:

Update account id to XXXXXX

You need to select the domains the update command applies to first, ie:

filter: account-name = 'Joe Bloggs'
update: account-id = 'xxxxxxx'

I've only just seen this, but it was fixed quite quickly. Thanks for highlighting this.

Thanks Jay but was not fixed.. I sent a secure msg regarding it.

I see that when I click on account > merge accounts.

Cheers

filter: account-name = 'Joe Bloggs'

Thought the filter was optional and that it applied to all domains without.

I cant even reg a domain anymore.

Anyone care to share a template (filled out) for this:
http://www.nic.uk/registrars/systems/auto/request/

thanks

In its most basic form:

operation:request
key:domain.co.uk
account-name:your name
a1-name:your name
a1-email:[email protected]
addr:123 street road
city:city
country:gb
postcode:A12 B34

That first reg. will generate you an account ID, so after that you just need:

operation:request
key:domainname.co.uk
account-id:1234567

Thanks Grant, why cant Noms website explain it as clearly, I wasted ages trying to work it out with your instructions took me 2 minutes.

The key was not knowing the account id creation bit, I was using my TAG Account number.

Worked first time.

Merci beaucoup

Indeed, the account ID creation doesn't seem to be explained on the nom site at all, the only clue to it is in the example automaton reply email.

What's a dns-id?

What's a dns-id?

It's like the account-id but for referencing nameservers.

You can now have 2 domains with identical DNS records, for example....

key: domain1.co.uk
dns0-id: ns0001
dns1-id: ns0002

key: domain2.co.uk
dns0-id: ns0001
dns1-id: ns0002

While that's like what you had before, the difference is the nameserver records are like...

dns-id: ns0001
dns: ns.anotherdomain.co.uk

dns-id: ns0002
dns: ns2.anotherdomain.co.uk

So if the details of your primary nameserver change you just need to do one modify command, rather than a bulk domain update... for example...

operation: modify
dns-id: ns0001
dns: ns.newdomain.co.uk

Alternatively you can also work in the same way things used to function by having multiple nameserver records for the same nameservers... e.g....

dns-id: ns0001
dns: ns.anotherdomain.co.uk

dns-id: ns0002
dns: ns2.anotherdomain.co.uk

dns-id: ns0003
dns: ns2.anotherdomain.co.uk

 

[Admin]

how do i set up the NS records to start with? It just gives me errors...

 

[grantw]

Just do it the same as before the upgrade.
