When I create a new virtual machine in App Controller 2012 (RTM) with an auto-generated computer name (leaving the '*' wildcard in the 'computer name' field) I cannot connect or RDP to the machine when it has finished setting up.
If I specify a 'computer name' it works fine.
One thing I have noticed is that the 'Computer Name' field in the properties of an auto-generated machine displays '*.domainname.com' instead of updating to 'machinename.domainname.com'. When I launch a console connection I can see that it is trying to resolve '*.domainname.com'. When start the machine and launch an RDP connection it also attempts to connect to '*.domainname.com'. Obviously neither resolve.
If I go directly to the host machine and connect via Hyper-V manager I can see that the machine name has been correctly auto-generated it just hasn't been passed back up to App Controller.
I had previously been using the 'Self-Service Portal' and had no problems with the auto-generated name feature.
Any ideas anyone?
