Verify that the UNIX Computer Name Resolves Correctly

For UNAB to work, both the UNIX computer and the Active Directory computer must resolve the IP address of the UNIX computer to the same computer name, including the domain name.

To verify that the UNIX computer name resolves correctly, run the uxpreinstall utility.

Example: Verify that the Name of a UNIX Computer Resolves Correctly using uxpreinstall utility

This example shows you the result running the uxpreinstall with verbosity level 3 on a Linux for a computer named computer.caom on both a Windows, Active Directory server and UNIX computer:

Locating Active Directory services in domain <DOMAIN.COM>
Locating '_ldap._tcp.DOMAIN.COM.' records in DNS ...
computer.com:389 [100:0] (_ldap)
computer.com:389 [100:0] (_ldap)
Found LDAP services:
   computer:389
Performing name resolution on <computer.com>
Running command "host computer.com" ...
   DNS server reply:
      computer.com has address 192.168.1.1
Name <computer.com> was resolved to IP address <1192.168.1.1>

Example: Verify that the Name of a UNIX Computer Resolved Correctly using nslookup command

This example shows you the result of a forward nslookup resolution command on Linux for a computer named acctdept on both a Windows, Active Directory server and UNIX computer:

# nslookup acctdept
Server:         172.24.789.0
Address:        172.24.789.0#53

Name:   acctdept.parallel.com
Address: 172.24.123.110
