You should get a network trace. Different apps devolve DNS records differently plus you need to factor in suffix search order and such.
Thanks, Brian Desmond [email protected] c - 312.731.3132 From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, May 28, 2010 8:09 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: DNS alias change, no http to alias unless FQDN I have an internal website we connect to by http://<DNSAlias<http://%3cDNSAlias>>. This morning I changed the alias to point to a new server, but while the http://FQDN of the alias works, using just http://hostname doesn't. Example: DNS alias is a CNAME of SharePointNew pointing to a host name of ServerA, and HTTP://SharePointNew.ourcompany.local works, but http://SharePointNew does not. That it would be a NetBIOS thing right? We use WINS, but I see no entry for COMMONS that would tell me something other than DNS is resolving that host name.
