Cannot Work with Multiple Clients

Problem: In the environments where the setup is secure (certificates), but the DNS service is unreliable, if you try to work with multiple clients (Installed, Windows App Clients), the clients get disconnected.

Cause: Slow name resolution of the new clients.

Solution: Perform the following steps for configuring the DNS name-to-address resolution.

1. On the client/FEP machine, go to the path C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and open the hosts file with any editor such as Notepad. You need administrator rights to do this.
2. At the end of this file, add an entry in the following format:
   [IP address of the Server system] [Full name of the Server system].
   For example, if your complete hostname is ABCXY022PC.don01.company.net and the IP address of the server is 123.456. 789.10, then you must add the entry as follows 123.456. 789.10 ABCXY022PC.don01.company.net.
3. Save the hosts file. Updating the hosts file with the IP address and full name of the server resolves the added server host name before DNS.
4. Contact your network/DHCP/system administrator to reserve the IP address of the server in the DHCP.
