characters except periods. If other networking protocols are installed without TCP/IP, the server appliance name is limited to 15 characters.

If you specify a server appliance name longer than 15 characters and you want longer names to be recognized by the Microsoft Active Directory domain, the domain administrator must enable registration of DNS names that are 16 bytes or longer.

DNS Name Resolution

When DNS name resolution begins, the DNS resolver first checks what type of name was submitted.

Three types of DNS names can be submitted:

nFully qualified domain names (FQDN) — These names are terminated with a period. For example:

host.reskit.com.

nSingle-label, unqualified domain names —

These names contain no periods. For example: host

nMultiple-label, unqualified domain names

— These names contain one or more periods but are not terminated with a period. For example:

host.reskit.com - Or - host.reskit

When a user enters an FQDN, the resolver queries DNS using that name. Likewise, when a user enters a multiple-label, unqualified name, the DNS resolver
