DNS lookups are not working between Distributor and Subscriber servers

Problem:  The TED agents (Distributor and Subscriber) cannot start or communicate properly because DNS has not provided the information they need.

Possible Cause:  DNS is not set up correctly on your network.

Action:  Follow the instructions in Ensuring Successful DNS Name Resolution in Setting Up Supporting Software To Meet ZfS System Requirements in the Installation guide.

Possible Cause:  A DNS host name contains an underscore (_) character. The DNS RFC does not support the underscore characters. NetWare permits it but Windows does not.

Action:  If a server name includes an underscore character, rename the server to remove the underscore character.
