Active Directory Synchronisation with appended DNS suffix

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

Has anyone found a way to append the DNS suffix to the automatic synchronisation job feature? (Synchronise grid with directory)

If I manually import then from AD then I can append the suffix which works great.

This would make my life much easier as we have a multi forest, multi domain setup so accessing via short name is not ideal.

Regards

The current version does not provide this functionality, but we are looking at adding it for a future version. However, you can workaround it by adding the DNS suffixes to your NIC, so then when the short name is in the grid, your NIC will automatically append the needed suffix, and connections will work just as if you had added the FQDN to the name in the grid. This video demonstrates how to add the suffixes to your NIC (note, we did not make this video):

hi doug,

for what it’s worth, i’d like to add a vote for the “include fqdn when synchronizing” feature. it would be enormously helpful.

thanks.

You’ll be able to append a DNS suffix during the sync process in the next version of BP.

Thanks,

Doug
