DESCRIPTION:
Cannot connect to domain devices by hostname when connected via GVC (Global VPN Client)
RESOLUTION:
Local domains DNS server should be configured in the DHCP scope being used for GVC clients. This will allow the client to use a local DNS server to resolve local domain devices. There can be a second DNS server that is public added to the scope as well if desired.
If using the SonicWall's DHCP option the scope should have a suffix added for the local domain, to allow for hostname without having to use the FQDN. To confirm if there is a DNS suffix navigate to Manage | Network | DHCP Server and click Edit (
) next to the dynamic scope. Select the tab DNS/WINS.
