List computers using DNS or NetBIOS names
When you enter the computer names in the configuration file, you can use one of these name types:
- The NetBIOS name. Unless you specify otherwise, all names are treated as NetBIOS names.
- DNS name.
If you want to use DNS names, you can specify each computer name individually or, if you have a large number of computers, you can configure the file to treat all names as DNS names.
To specify an individual DNS name, use the following:
[VM Host 1]
dns|computer.domain.name
To specify that all names are DNS hostnames, add the following section at the start of the configuration file:
[defaults]
Names=dns
Note If you set this, you do not need to use the 'dns|' prefix for computers that are specified
by their DNS hostname, but you must use a 'netbios|' prefix for computers that are specified by
their NetBIOS name, as follows:
[VM Host 1]
netbios|COMPUTER
