W2k8 R2 host name resolution
Hello, I have just build 2 Dell R610 servers with Win 2008 R2 and have some host name resolution problems on the local host only. The new servers can ping any other server/device on the network. Other servers/clients can ping the servers. DNS is working and ok. Just cannot ping/resolve their own host name locally. I found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981953 which works for pining and for web browser resolution. But name resolution doesn’t work when trying to install programs. In particular Virtual Machine Manager Configuration Analyzer Setup v2.0.4271.0. and System Centre Virtual Maching Manager. Cannot get them to install/run, unable to resolve hostname? Anyone have same problem/found a solution?

Can you post unedited ipconfig /all from DNS server and problem client? Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional Microsoft MVP [Windows]

Hi Dave, I'm certain it is not a DNS issue, but as I have request suggestions, here is the info: DNS Server: (Win 2k3) Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : XXXapp Primary Dns

In addition to Dave Patrick, you can also use SCVMM Setup forum. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/virtualmachingmgrsetup/threads Thanks

Hi Guys, Thanks for your efforts. I'm sure this is a name resolution problem of some sort and the SCVMM issuse is a result. I will open a thread in above fourm anyway and see if anyone has had same problem. I'll leave this open for now to see if anyone else has a suggestion. Regards,
