PF4Public 1 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 How does ERA agent obtain FQDN name of a computer it is running on? I have one computer, which FQDN equals to its hostname, as such it is not renamed by "Rename task". I have proper DNS set up as well as I can nslookup the IP in question, which returns FQDN name, not only the hostname. What could be the problem here?

ESET Staff MartinK 378 Posted November 23, 2016 ESET Staff Share Posted November 23, 2016 You have not mentioned platform, but on Windows, native API call GetComputerNameEx with type ComputerNameDnsFullyQualified is used. Official Microsoft documentation for this call states: The fully qualified DNS name that uniquely identifies the local computer. This name is a combination of the DNS host name and the DNS domain name, using the form HostName.DomainName. If the local computer is a node in a cluster, lpBuffer receives the fully qualified DNS name of the cluster virtual server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PF4Public 1 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Indeed looks like it is a Windows issue, not ERA's, since Windows does not append hostname with DNS suffix for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
