This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hi all,

More of a question than an issue. If I created a liveupdate policy and setup up a multiple gup policy that pointed to the hostname and the direct of the ip of the gup would this cause any issues?

Reason I'm asking is we recently had a machine that could not identify the gup from hostname as soon as we used the ip it worked fine. But on other estates we look after some of the gups do not have the pleasure of a static ip address.

it could be hostname may not

it could be hostname may not have resolved. If name resoultion is proper clients would contact the GUP on hostname.

Cheers!

I know the machine isn't

I know the machine isn't resolving with the hostname that's why I'm trying to confirm that there won't be any issues with putting the hostname and ip address of same gup in the same policy. As policy donates if the machine bcomes a gup.

Review my idea for GUP reporting please vote with a yes if you think it's a good idea.
