Windows FQDN problem/bug
Hi all,
I installed JES on Windows 2003.
At first I had the following FQDN:test-1.itcnetworks
A nslookup test-1.itcnetworks gave back the correct IP ...
The hosts file had a line with IP and machine's name ...
But I was unable to install, JES gave the message that my PC have no FQDN !!!
The only workaround was to add a ".ro" at the end of the machine's name. No other change:
A new nslookup test-1.itcnetworks gave back the same name/IP ...
The hosts file was not touch ...
Installation went ok and I ended with an instance test-1.itcnetworks.ro on a PC that have FQDN in DNS as test-1.itcnetworks !!!
Same problem on Windows XP SP2.
Is this a bug?
Thx.

Finally an answer :) . Thanks.
Yes, but my domain is itcnetworks. and the name of the box is test-1, so FQDN is test-1.itcnetworks and it is resolvable (is in DNS)!!!
And I was not able to install (on Windows), until I change the name in test-1.itcnetworks.ro ... But that fqdn does NOT exist in DNS !!!!
Nobody can reach test-1.itcnetworks.ro (even in my LAN) and I and up with an instalation on test-1.itcnetworks.ro wich I almost can not use, unless locally ... :(
So the bug (on Windows !):
1. The installer does not look to resolv the name (FQDN), test-1.itcnetworks.ro does NOT exist in any DNS server;
2. The installer do not accept long domain names, like itcnetworks.!!!
And I recall that the documentation state that the FQDN must be resolvable!!!
Does any person from Sunt that works at the Windows installer watch this forum? :)
Thx.
