We use eDirectory and Active Directory on our network. All our computers are joined to the eDir/AD domain. However we have a number of different DNS domains.
BP finds computers based on the AD domain. The problem is, it then can’t deploy to those computers because they are on a different DNS domain.
IE. Computer name is PC01
AD domain is ad.com.au
Subnet/DNS name (set based on IP address) is dns1.com.au
BP finds PC01 and states its DNS name is PC01.ad.com.au. This is true in an AD sense, but not true for ARP addresses. The correct DNS name is PC01.dns1.com.au
If you try to ping or access PC01.ad.com.au it doesn’t work. If you ping or try to access PC01.dns1.com.au it works.
Subsequently since BP tries to deploy using AD DNS rather than correct DNS as reported by our DNS servers, Deployment of the client fails.
How do I get BP to discover PC’s from our DNS, or how can I deploy the client based on IP address, or how can I add a domain for BP to search (that isn’t an AD domain)?
Thanks
