Multiple Language Server Support

The support to query Microsoft Active Directory servers configured for non-English languages is presently not supported. This functionality is currently under consideration by the Product and Engineering teams. We do not have an ETA on implementation.

I just need my mx67 appliance to pass through its static IP to my network, server 2016 ( DC is my dhcp/dns).  Not sure what to or how to set the WAN IPv4 confi manual?

confused to what should the MX IP, subnet, gateway and primary dns as I am a partially dumb and CEO with no network admin at moment.

In that case I suggest you hire a Meraki partner company to help you.

What do you want the MX67 to use the DC for?

 

How does the IP conflict fit into this picture?  What is broken, and how do you see the issue?  What do you see not working?

I have a windows server as dhcp/dns 2016, i am not sure what IPs i use for the static lan/wan.  I am bringing in a verizon mobile home cellular modem and connecting to my mx67.

 

that said, stuck on what i use for the IPs to tell meraki to directly go to my dns server 10.0.1.100 ?

I think it might be easier to use the Cisco Partner Locator:

And find someone near your location to come in to help.  I'm sure the investment in their time will be well worth it, and will also help get you up to speed.
