I can ask that, not sure if there are units that will be connecting solely via 
wireless though.


Despatched via Blackberry. Mock if you will, but it gets my email without a 
fuss.

Do you need a DNS entry for their WiFi IP address? If not, then why not set the 
WiFi adapter not to register in the DNS?

Subject: [NTSysADM] Multiple NICs in tablets giving problems with management 
software

Got some Win 8.1 tablets with several network interaces (wired, wireless, 
bluetooth, etc.)

When I come to deploy management agents, the IP address which is resolving to 
the hostname is one that is bound to the wireless NIC, not the wired one. 
Therefore I can't deploy agents until I disable the wireless NIC, flush the DNS 
cache, and reconnect.
Is there a best practice around configuring multiple NIC devices in this way so 
they are accessible via the LAN (for remote access, management, AV)? Normally 
the places I go to are on top of this sort of thing already, but this 
particular client seems to not have a clue, so I'm reaching out for some advice 
to pass on to them (this being an area out of my specialist zone)

Shout for more info - this request is coming to me second-hand, and I'm on a 
train trying to play Football Manager :-)

Cheers,
