ARD hostname vs fqdn

I have 2 servers that I configured recently at the same time, and for some reason one of my servers, in ard scanner, shows the FQDN, and the other server only has the hostname, without the domain info appended.
However, when I look in my dns (hosted on a w2k3 server), it appears that I have the fqdn and reverse lookups properly configured. Also, when I run nslookups on both servers from terminal, I am getting fqdn's. (I did nslookups for both machines from both machines). Lastly, if I run hostname on both computers, I get the fqdn...
So, is ARD crazy, or do I need to look at my dns or server to determine why I am not seeing my fqdn on 1 server?
thanks in advance

You should answer with the short name.
The FQDN is a network name and the host doesn't really need to know it. It's what the other nodes on the network refer to it as. You can have many different domains in your network and your host can have more than one FQDN. Always use short names when creating the hostname of the system.

  • Hostname or FQDN problems when using proxies

    I recently set up Firefox (10.0.2) on my work network as I hate using IE. There are a whole series of Corporate websites that I connect to direct and I can connect to the Internet via a proxy. Unfortunately a lot of the Corporate websites only use the hostname in their URL rather than the full FQDN, relying on the operating system (Windows XP) to expand the hostname to the full FQDN and resolve the IP address (this works fine within IE). Unfortunately with Firefox when it finds a URL with only a hostname it sends it direc to the proxy which rejects it. However, if I manually put in the same URL using the hosts FQDN the website is pulled down absolutely fine.
    As I don't control the internal websites I can't put all of the individual hostnames in the proxy exception settings as I simply don't know them and they are likely to change over time.
    Is there some magic entry I can put in the proxy exception setting that tells Firefox not to send hostname only URLs to the proxy? or to at least attempt to resolve the hostname to FQDN and check against the exceptions list prior to forwarding to the proxy?
    Many thanks,
    Kev

    Yes dup count protection strikes again, this is a common problem that keeps popping up.  NI should put a warning about this.  It had me stuck for a few days when I migrated from traditional DAQ to DAQMX, and it stumps just about everyone who encounters it for the first time.  To make things worse, it is a property that is very well hidden in the property hierarchy.

  • Adapter URL - hostname vs FQDN

    I see the following error in dev_icm:

    The issue seems to be that the certificate is for FQDN and request is
    with just the hostname. Also in the sld the adapter engine urls are all
    hostname:port. Where do I change this such that it uses the FQDN:port.
    Any direction is much appreciated.

  • Batch Script using System Varriable for Hostname and FQDN results in large space between

    I have a batch script running on Windows 7 that I've created to help a physical computer, connect to his virtual cousin.  Problem is when I try to make
    it use the FQDN (required by the View Client) it puts a large space between the hostname and the domain.
    Result
    ECHO Connecting View Client to PREFIX-SERIAL .domain.comOR"C:\Program Files\VmWare\View.exe" -Args -serverURL PREFIX-SERIAL       .domain.com
    Our computers are named a combination of a prefix and the serial number.  Our virtual computer names are the same, but with a different prefix.  So my attempt was to make a connection
    script, using the computer serial number.  My Process:
    Setting %serial% variable.
    for /F "skip=1 tokens=*" %%b in ('wmic bios get serialnumber') do if not defined serial set serial=%%b
    Set %hostname% variable.
    set hostname=PREFIX-%serial%
    Installation command line
    "C:\Program Files\VmWare\View.exe" -Args -serverURL %hostname%.domain.com
    That results in the output at the beginning of my post.
    I've also tried
    %hostname%.%userdomain%.com
    PREFIX-%serial%.%userdomain%.com
    PREFIX-%serial%.domain.com
    SET FQDN=.domain.com
    PREFIX-%serial%%FQDN%
    %hostname%%FQDN%
    I also tried carets and quotes on set commands without any improvement.
    I'm sure I'm missing something simple here.  Any advise?
    There's no place like 127.0.0.1

    Will something like this get you what you are looking for?
    (gwmi win32_bios).SerialNumber+(gwmi WIN32_ComputerSystem).Domain
    Or
    $hostname=(gwmi win32_bios).SerialNumber+"."+(gwmi WIN32_ComputerSystem).Domain
    Sorry just realized your looking to do this in a Batch file...so maybe something like this
    @echo off
    for /F "skip=1 delims=" %%j in ('powershell "[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName((hostname)).HostName"') do (
    set Host=%%j
    goto :DONE

  • Wwsdl endpoint hostname vs. fqdn

    When I assemble the web service the end point in the wsdl contains the string REPLACE_WITH_ACTUAL_URL. Once deployed this is replaced with hostname. The problem is that when users on another network build a proxy they cannot see hostname. For now they override the endpoint but I'd like the wsdl to contain the fully qualified domain name myhost.mydomain rather than just myhost. Any way to make this happen?

    You should answer with the short name.
    The FQDN is a network name and the host doesn't really need to know it. It's what the other nodes on the network refer to it as. You can have many different domains in your network and your host can have more than one FQDN. Always use short names when creating the hostname of the system.

  • Hostname vs FQDN

    Hello,
    during installation of Solaris 11, the installer asks for a machine name. Is this supposed to be the short hostname, or the FQDN?
    If the former, then there would be no possibility to setup a domain name during installation, and it would have to be defined either by DHCP, or by a custom NWAM profile.
    Regards,

    Solved. Problem was the same like in thread "I/O error while communicating with HTTP server: Connection timed out" - it wasn't accessible IP connection between Ora VM Manager and Ora VM server IP alias for server pool. But there was very confusing message in errorlog: "dispatch https://?uname?:[email protected]:8899/api/3 set_pool_member_ip_list [10.20.11.11], Status: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: I/O error while communicating with HTTP server: Connection timed out [Thu Mar 28 14:36:30 CET 2013]". Noticed IP address was IP address for VM server, not for VM pool, which makes me quite angry.

  • Host name not derived as FQDN (TH_GET_PLUGIN_INFO )

    Hello,
    we've got a problem in the CRM web UI, however, I assume it is more related to general BSP settings.
    When testing a CRM component ICCMP_HEADER which is a BSP application in the component workbench
    (tcode BSP_WD_CMPWB). The browser tells that an exception
    CX_BSP_WD_HTTP_RESPONSE_ERROR is thrown in class
    CL_BSP_WD_STREAM_LOADER, method LOAD_FROM_URL.
    I did some debugging and found out that in this method in line 20,
    function module TH_PLUGINS_ACTIVE is called. It returns that both HTTP
    and HTTPS are active. Due to this, in line 31 the system calls method
    CL_HTTP_CLIENT=>CREATE_BY_DESTINATION. In this method function module
    TH_GET_PLUGIN_INFO is called. It returns the host name (uxsapl07)
    without FQDN (.mobilkom.at). I tested the function module on our
    development system (MSD) and it returns the full hostname
    (vssapk08.mobilkom.at).
    I've checked the host name buffer in tcode SMICM and it shows only the
    hostname (no FQDN). If refreshing the buffer, it gets filled again with
    only the hostname.
    I've compared settings on productive system MSP with development system
    MSD:
    parameter: SAPLOCALHOSTFULL
    MSP: uxsapl07.mobilkom.at
    MSD: vssapk08.mobilkom.at
    parameter: icm/host_name_full
    MSP: empty
    MSD: empty
    However, in tcode SMICM --> paramters, both systems show the FQDN for
    parameter icm/host_name_full.
    I don't know why it works then on MSD and not on MSP.
    Many thanks & regards
    Wolfgang

    parameter: icm/host_name_full
    MSP: empty
    MSD: empty
    try setting the above parameter with the FQDN (RZ10) and restart the ICM
    after restart run program RSPARAM to check whether the changes had taken effect

  • How to refresh cache for hostname used in RFC Dest

    Hello @all,
    does anyone knows how to refresh the cache where (for example) the hostnames used in ABAP RFC Destinations are stored? I'm getting an error "Details: NiHsLGetNodeAddr: hostname cached as unknown" when I try to test my generated Trusted RFC Destination...
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Kind Regards, Falk

    Hi Nilesh,
    unfortunately the solution does not work. Still I get the following error while testing the RFC Destination:
    DETAIL: NiPGetHostByName: hostname 'MHPAEAFC' not found
    Two things have been done.
    1. an entry within /etc/resolv.conf for the host mhpaeafc
    2. an entry within the hosts-file containing the IP adress, hostname and FQDN
    Do you have any idea why the SAP system still is not able to resolve the hostname?
    We tried 'ping' and 'nslookup' on the operating system hosting the SAP system with the result that the host can be resolved.
    Thanks for any help/hint.
    Best regards, Falk

  • Cannot connect to server via hostname

    When I ping this server, it replies with the correct IP address. However, if I want to RDP to it, I can only do it by IP and not hostname.
    If I go by hostname, it returns this error:
    "Remote Desktop cannot verify the identity of the remote computer because there is a time or date difference between your computer and the remote computer. Make sure your computer's clock is set to the correct time, and then try connecting again. If
    the problem occurs again, contact your network administrator or the owner of the remote computer."
    I verified that there is no date or time difference, which I doubt would be the cause of the problem anyway since I'm able to RDP to that server via IP address just fine.
    I found this article:
    http://andywolf.com/windows-2008-r2-server-loses-network-connectivity/#comments
    It details the same symptoms, except the fact that it says they ran this command:
    netsh trace start scenario=netconnection capture=yes report=yes tracefile=c:\net.etl
    And it said that they discovered kernel socket leaks as a result. I did not find anything that indicated kernel socket leaks.
    any ideas?

    Hi
    You need to run couple of test to make sure the host name is resolving to the correct IP.
    Form another working machine run nslookup and put this computer hostname then hostname with FQDN and make sure it is returning the correct IP.
    If its not then try clearing cache on the local machine form cmd with ipconfig /flushdns and on you DNS server with dnscmd /clearcache. Try again to resolve the hostname if still the same.
    Check in the DNS console and make sure this host got the correct IP address assigned to it if not delete the record and release and renew the IP if you are using dynamic IP. If you are using static then ipconfig /registerdns.
    It could be the DNS suffix issue.
    Please update with the above.

  • Unable to apply GPO on 209 clients (RPC Issues)

    I am in the process of cross forest DC migration with an environment of 400 users, first I have configured the GPO to add the dns suffix search domains to the
    current clients of the old domain however upon applying policy I get The RPC server is unavailable or RPC was cancelled or access denied sometimes.
    I have checked the domains (4) health , replication and all looks very well. 
    I connected to one of the clients that has an issue to make sure these clients are joined to the domain and using the proper DNS list. then checked if the domain
    has the correct hostname as it appears in the domain and everything looked fine.
    I disabled Kaspersky firewall on the client and disabled Windows firewall client but still the same issue occur .
    When trying to connect to any of these clients with hostname to browse to the C$ folder it gives an error, I also tried with the FQDN and had the same problem
    but with IP it connects fine.
    I checked the RPC service, Computer browser service to see if they are running and they were running. 
    I am attaching screenshots of the GPO policy and the error that appears when trying to browse to the client folder C$ with hostname or fqdn. 
    I have tried the following but it didn't fix anything.. I hope someone could help point me out to the right direction
    Checked DNS (Servers and clients)
    Checked relative services (Netbios, RPC, Computer browser ..etc)
    Checked firewall (Kaspersky and windows) and closed them both.
    Checked connected DC on clients and pointed clients to different DCs  to check if it'll solve the problem.
    Checking DCs replication and health using DCdiag /v 
    Ran nltest.exe /sc_verify:domain.local and returned success ... 
    I am attaching

    This computer was not able to setup secure session with a domain controller in domain domain.local due to the folliowing "there are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
    The weird thing is that the client have no issues and can logon to his computer which is a domain member without any issues. 
    thanks

    Hi Vivian, 
    I found the problem, it was due to duplicated hostnames on the DNS for all these problematic clients! The DNS scavenging seems it's not working .. I would appreciate if you could assist me on how to troubleshoot the scavenging.
    I have already applied the following checks
    1- Checked the refresh and no refresh interval (both were 7 days and I changed them to 1 hour) 
    2- Restarted DNS.
    3- Set DNS to automatic scavenging of stale records.
    Still no sign of items are being deleted? 
    I would appreciate your help
    thanks

    hostname cannot change, without going through a system copy procedure, so we would have to keep the hostnames in DR the same. (for example, ref: oss note 757692 - changing hostname is not supported)
    fully qualified domain name - from what I understand, there are potentially issues with changing the fqdn, for example SSO certificates, BSPs, XI has issues, etc.
    we can't keep both hostname and fqdn the same between DR and production, or we could never do a DR test.
    Has anyone implemented disaster recovery for any SAP J2EE application that has run into these concerns and addressed them?  Input would be greatly appreciated regarding how you addressed these issues, or how you architected your disaster recovery implementation.

    I haven't done this personally, but I do have some experience with these issues in different HA environments.
    To your first point:  You can change the hostname, note 757692 tells you exactly how to do it.  However like the note says, "Changing the name of a host server in a production system is not automatically supported by SAP."  When it says "supported by SAP" I think it means SAP the company, not SAP's software.  So I would contact SAP to see if this configuration would be covered under your service agreement.  Then you have to think about whether you want to do something that isn't "officially supported" by SAP.  Also I'm sure you'll need some kind of additional licensing for the DR systems as their hardware keys will de different.
    To your second point:  As for SSO certs (SAP Login Tickets), I think they should still work as long as the SID and client number of the issuing system remain the same.  I don't think they are hostname or fqdn dependant.  For BSPs I would think they would still work as long as they use relative paths rather than absolute paths.  And for XI... I have no idea what kind of issues may arise, I'm not an XI guy.
    Again, I haven't done what you're describing myself.  This is just based on my HA experiences.
    Hope this helps a little,

  • New inst: HP-UX: db2icrt fails: CLP frontend unable to get request handle

    We are migrating our installations from the beautiful AIX to ... HP-UX.  I am told I will learn to love it, but probably not until they update df to at least 1988 levels. 
    This is the pilot install.  We have never seen this work before (and maybe no-one has...?)
    sapinst runs correctly up to the "Create database instance" phase.  At that point it dies with the following:
    FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, command line process, clp_start_bp, probe:3
    MESSAGE  : CLP frontend unable to get REQUEST handle
    DATA #1: Hexdump etc.
    DBI1281E: The database manager configuration file could not be read initialized.
    No further useful information is provided.
    In db2<sid> I have a bunch of dot files (.profile and the like) and the db2_software directory containing the database installation.
    During the create database instance phase, I can see that directory sqllib is created, but it is deleted when the phase fails.
    There is no litter of any kind in the /db2/<SID> directories, - nothing has been done at all.
    I have done the following: <<imagine nice bullets below - they dont seem to be available here>>
    checked that the permissions on /tmp and the installation direcctory (redirected by setenv  TEMP  /usr/sap/install) are 777: they are;
    checked the OS parameters with db2osconf - they are good
    checked the host name resolution with a perl script - gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr agree.
    the ip address, simple hostname and FQDN are on a line in the hosts file
    there is no litter from previous installations - this is a clean machine
    I could not find any reference to required environment variables (such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH) in the install guide or the install note - so I have not set any.
    I have been hacking away at this for days.  I have put in a call to SAP, who will get back to me after dark (of course...)
    This seems to be a massively popular problem, and the helpful error message ("Sorry, Sport, just can't bring myself to do it") seems to have people jumping from tall buildings and in front of busses all over Google-world.  Furthermore there also seems to be a near-infinite number of possible causes and none of them seem to apply here.
    H-PUX version is 11.31.  DB2 is 9V5 patch 4.  sapinst is latest available.  Weekend is fading fast...

    No need to apologise for assisting, Paul, but I have dealt with most of these.
    The host file contains the unqualified and fully qualified hostnames, on the same line, unqualified first.
    I am logging in as root (because there were no other users, and I'm old school, from when everyone logged on as root to do everything.
    There is no instance, and in fact there is no sqllib except when the "create database instance" step is running.
    The only detectable db2 process running is db2fcmd
    I have not been able to find any instructions regarding LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBPATH for HP-UX.  They are not mentioned in the installation guide at all.  I cannot find it in any of the installation notes.   I presume sapinst is setting them itself before they are needed.  Neither are set in the enviroment of db2<sid> or <sid>adm.  I have gnawed my fingernails to the elbow over this one, but I cannot see any indication that either should be set for HP-UX.  Anyway, they are definitely not set anywhere, to anything.  This was a clean machine before I started chopping it up to do this install.
    I figure it must be complicated - I have been trying to get an answer for 10 days already.  I will absolutely hate myself when it turns out to be something obvious, documented in 10 places, mostly in bold italics.  I shoulda taken my dads advice and been a riverboat gambler or a piano player in a cathouse - its a lot less complicated,

  • How do I set up networking for DNS resolution?

    I am setting up a brand new iMac (10.9.4). I've put the two internal DNS servers into the network configuration (Windows Servers running DNS). However pinging by hostname and FQDN doesn't work
    Matts-iMac:~ mattgeorge$ ping victor.rafmuseum.local
    ping: cannot resolve victor.rafmuseum.local: Unknown host
    Interestingly, nslookup is fine:
    Matts-iMac:~ mattgeorge$ nslookup victor.rafmuseum.local
    Server: 172.16.0.11
    Address: 172.16.0.11#53
    Name: victor.rafmuseum.local
    Address: 172.16.0.15
    And pinging the IP address works correctly too. Windows servers appear in the finder and I can connect to them from there but the Connect to Server option again will not resolve a DNS address. Also in researching this I note that Directory Access no longer appears in Applications.

    This is the chowder-headed default value that's arises from older Windows Server installations.   Microsoft fixed this in more recent versions.  Folks that didn't know DNS and that chose to take the default top-level domain from older Windows Server installations were led into a morass, unfortunately. 
    You're basically going to have to run parallel DNS services until you can reconfigure those Windows Server DNS servers over into a valid top-level domain — when Microsoft specified this default of .local, .local was not a reserved top-level domain — or otherwise limp along here.   This because .local is a reserved domain now, as it's used for Bonjour/mDNS. 
    The usual fix is to move into a real and registered domain, which is obviously a pain now, but only tends to get worse over time.
    The usual workaround is to set up parallel DNS services, to add "local" to the list of search domains within network preferences (haven't tried this recently, but it was the old workaround for this case, see Mac OS X v10.4, 10.5, 10.6: How to look up ".local" hostnames via both Bonjour and standard DNS) and then incrementally migrate preferably to a real-and-registered domain over time, and/or to otherwise avoid using the .local domain where that's feasible. 
    FWIW, rafmuseum.net is currently available for registration, and you can use a subdomain of one you already have — if one of those other existing registrations is associated with your organization — and there are a gazillion other new top-level domains now or coming online to choose from — though you can't have .local here, as that's RFC-reserved for Bonjour/mDNS activity.
