DNS Name Resolution for different DNS Server

[Melanie Kuehnle]

Hi there,

we are running different AD's in our environment. Every Active Directory has it's own DNS server. One AD has the SIM server.

I want to discovery everything in the AD's automatically - but I cannot get the DNS names of servers and ILO's in the other AD's.
The servers and ILO's appearing with their IP-Adress after a discovery.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Mel,

I had problems with the name resolution, too. It all depends on the name resolution your SIM server can give you.
If you log on to your SIM server and do a ping -a 1.2.3.4 the IP address must be resolved to an name. As soon as it does, run "discovery" once in SIM and the name should appear there, too.
Helpful: DNS reverse lookup zone, ipconfig /flushdns, a hosts file.

Cheers
Lutz
