Hi all, Having an issue where WinPE hostname is not being resolved properly. Here is my issue: Assumptions: Hostname in Win7 = win7hostname (Private IP: 172.16.50.100) Hostname in Win PE = winpehostname (Private IP: 172.16.50.100) Win PE's firewall is taken down using the following command: wpeutil disablefirewall - When I am in Windows 7, a DNS record is created on the DNS Server. When I look at the DNS Server (Win Server 2008 R2 x64), I see a record in the DNS Manager for win7hostname I can do ping 172.16.50.100 and receive a response I can do ping -a 172.16.50.100 and receive a response which resolves the address to win7hostname I can do ping win7hostname and receive a response (which it resolves to 172.16.50.100) - When i am in Win PE (firewall down), a DNS record is not being created on the DNS Server. I can do ping 172.16.50.100 and receive a response I can do ping -a 172.16.50.100 and receive a response which resolves the address to winpehostname I cannot do ping winpehostname and receive a response. Fails to resolve to any IP address. I am confused because I do not see a DNS record when I am in Win PE, but when I try ping -a 172.16.50.100 I see the correct hostname in the command prompt (from the DNS Server). I cannot, however, resolve that hostname when I attempt to ping it. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
